We call it GBBO, and everybody (well nearly) loves it. There was a mix-up a few years ago with use of a fridge or a freezer - forget which - but totally accidental. It is a wonderful programme, they all seem to support each other; this year has been fun too, and despite tears and drama, but no fights or nastiness, the right person won. We all find that Paul H is wearing a bit thin these days, and that Prue is a bit of a stickler - but she is a great cook too.

We also have a Junior Bake Off, very good too, with very supportive kids of varying ages, Prue is there along with one of the funnier but good baker from the 2018/17 GBBO series. Worth a watch if you can get it across the pond.

Love it! So glad Netflix now has it on as the show is airing. We get it in like three or four days. Still a delay, but not a year the way it was on PBS. We got the holiday special, I am hoping we get the kids edition. I also want the Sewing Bee! Love that show and Patrick.

The show doesn't rely on scandals and back biting and I appreciate that. That was just an odd happening.

Pudding in the UK tends to refer to dessert, as in 'what's for pudding'. However, there are exceptions! Yorkshire pudding, steak and kidney pudding, black pudding, white pudding, Christmas pudding, rice pudding etc - some sweet, some savoury as you can see from the few I have listed. We can identify the type it is by the name.
