Your mum's got a damp noodle

Love Dampfnudeln.

My sister makes the best ones.

A damff noodle?

Bleuch to steamed bread.
Claggy.

Not loving the look of it to be honest.

Kate doesn't have them on the farm.

hah - go Mary - 'just like an iced bun without the icing'

Good point, Kiwi ! This is not the Great British Steam Off.

What did they cook last year that wasn't really baking? Like they roasted something or something

Dampfnudeln always look like they'd taste claggy and bleurgh to me.

Dampfnudel doesnt look very nice tbh

Dampfnudeln are dead easy, you just have to keep your nerves during the steaming.

Nope, even with a song and archway I'm still not sold.

why not just have an iced bun with the icing then?! Surely that's the good bit

Surely they're just joking with all this history stuff - sounds like such a parody

And the recipe is a joke. "make a dampfnudel dough". More mind reading

Will Mel be offering to help with softening Selasi's plums?

I would, Soup.

Does Kate not have a German Aunt and knows all about it? I'm shocked

Rav v v posh this week. Hmm.

I thought the point of the technical challenge was to test technical knowledge and ability. If they deliberately choose something they know no one has heard of, how exactly are they doing that?

For some reason Sue's avoidance of answering the question of 900 divided by 12 made me properly belly laugh; very similar to be during the dcs maths homework.

Dunno really LemonRedwood, possibly when streaming stuff you don't take the lid off. Still not baking though.

I like Rav having a shifty at everyone else's Nudeln.

I don't think I will be searching for the recipe....

They're all having a bit of a nightmare with raw dough.

This week is shit
