I caught the end of it and now have an unquenchable urge for scones, Victoria sponge and a sausage roll. However for me a poached egg is a triumph so it will be a bowl of cornflakes.
Good luck to them all anyway.  Topic for another day . . . . . . . . Your signature dish?

The only part of cooking I'm remotely interested in is consuming the results.

But, on this occasion, perhaps I should have tuned in. Instead I watched Ross Co v Celtic. In the last minute Roberts cut in from the right, pulled the ball back and Dembele slotted it home. It hurt a bit.

Well it is all a bit of a soggy bottom and frankly not cooked through. The pastry is raw and at times needs a little more thought in the ingredients. Not tasting the lemon at all.

I love that show.  The new season is back?  I heard they had ditched the two women.  And Mary Berry--is she gone, too?  They had a winning formula.

Well, according to my old Mum, who was born in Toxteth Park, scousers only came from Liverpool, not the other end of the Mersey Tunnel.

Well aren't we just a bunch of over critical misery guts. It is just a baking show, but like opinions on football, we suddenly turn to hatred and bile and accusation.

A nice little show which aims at the nearly dead. Nothing wrong with it, or it moving to C4 next year. Nobody killed anybody. Well they did on series two but hey besides that.

Mel Giedroyc (how the hell you pronounce that I will never know), is the one who looks like a hamster. The other one is Sue Perkins.

the thing is Mr Mince television has to appeal to all tastes and not just yours, just because you don't like it does not make it bad. Personally i do not watch it, but i do respect the right of others to enjoy it.

Not a fan of any reality shows.  The missus watches some and tend to find something else to do.  If she gets upset for me leaving the room then I will sit and read FoF while ignoring the tv.

Does Bake Off count as a realty show? I am not sure what that means anymore. Always thought reality shows were Geordie shore and Made in Essex type stuff.  Those I never watch. Don't watch The Apprentice but is that a reality show? Isn't Bake Off just a cooking competition show. Sorry it all gets very complicated.

'Reality Show'.
Long one of my pet hates.
A process, began many years ago with those listener 'call-in' radio shows, in which, instead of paying entertainers to entertain the public, members of the public are all-too willingly roped in to entertain each other.
