Roll up, roll up, Hollywood Handshakes for all! Great British Bake Off 3rd Thread

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

And we’re off

I read somewhere this week that there are more handshakes because the things they are being asked to bake are far more complicated than ever before; if you can recall the very first series of GBBO, the technical challenge one week was.... a Victoria sandwich cake.

Paul Hollywood Vegan Cookbook - nope 😂

My spirit animal is a honey badger. We are vicious little bastards!

Schadenfreude I misread that as competitive swingers

Knitted I think that was PH trying to excuse his profligacy!

K-J not getting the animal free week is she? squirrels now foxes (but looking forward to seeing the bushy tailed critters anyway)

Agar-agar?

I remember using that to grow bacterial cultures. It put me off it.

Rahul is not quite as apologetic this week: about time too! I think some of them are making things really difficult for themselves with their ingredients, etc.

Agree on the technical challenge. I’m surprised how many people have never learnt basic techniques. I’m no cook but I can talk a good recipe!

Noel is killing me this week

Jon is in trouble

Whatever floats your boat Gremlins

I can whinge for Britain. And I do.

Noel is a cracker!

now if Briony's had been hazelnuts, raspberries and chocolate you would be talking

I think Jon might be the one to go, too Wolf

How would competitive swinging even work?

Thought Manon was adding basil pesto must pay better attention

I agree about the agar Schaden. Belongs in a lab, not a kitchen!

Would you like to join our club Fuzzy?

If it's mocha it needs to contain chocolate surely?

everyone! Stop pondering competitive swinging and pay attention

I like the grassy tea-pot!

Wonky cakes. How prescient, Ruby.

oh dear Jon - quite claggy

I hope that chocolate bar is vegan!
