libby❀dango

libby❀dango

Rogal Dorn

Ainsley ☄
That is too much marshmallow in the second pucture
Ainsley ☄
Picture
Rogal Dorn
that and that doesn't look like any graham cracker I've ever seen
Rogal Dorn
and that chocolate looks liquified
Rogal Dorn
that's like some kind of fancy person attempt at a smore
ĸaтaвaѕιѕ
it's the ridiculous bougie british version of a smores bc they couldn't just have them make normal ones for an 'amateur baking show'
juliette lives
what is this weird gourmet smore shit
juliette lives
I'm so offended I'm gonna go make messy microwave smores and cram them into my face
zoki.
i remember that episode
i remember that episode
Tapired
That is a digestive biscuit, homemade marshmallow and like. chocolate ganache or some stupid thing.
Dr. Yubsie
Lightly browned with a blowtorch
proтoвadger
nothing sets me aflame as much as the one two punch of gbbo smores and gbbo mexican week
Dr. Yubsie
That season hasn't even aired in Canada yet
Dr. Yubsie
We were getting a positively DELIGHTFUL season of our own baking show
𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚝𝚔𝚒𝚍🔪
Tapired
: It absolutely was chocolate ganache
𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚝𝚔𝚒𝚍🔪
What's so funny is the description was "this is an entirely American thing" and it's like. None of this is American lmfao
𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚝𝚔𝚒𝚍🔪
but ok guys
Cerise ♢
We don't have Graham crackers here so digestives is as close as we get...
Cerise ♢
Not sticking up for the rest of the thing, that's more of a smore inspired squishbiscuit.
Flash Bastard
Apparently they had to make their own marshmallows, at which point they could possibly have made their own graham crackers.
Cerise ♢
Or something more similar, huh. True.
𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚝𝚔𝚒𝚍🔪
It was also the technical where they aren’t really given instructions so they probably went with something that British people should know how to bake
Dr. Yubsie
Cerise ♢
: I would consider digestives an absolutely reasonable substitute for a group of UK Girl Guides but on GBBO they were baking the biscuit anyway so they should have made the RIGHT biscuit
Cerise ♢
This is Serious Biscuits.
ĸaтaвaѕιѕ
the problem with gbbo right now is they often give them technicals for things they would have absolutely no way of knowing how to bake.
ĸaтaвaѕιѕ
so if you're going to give them wild technicals, just make them bake graham crackers.
Dr. Yubsie
it's wild watching the early seasons where the technicals are "here is a fundamental recipe in this category. now make it perfectly"
Dr. Yubsie
like in one of the early seasons it was SCONES
Dr. Yubsie
just... execute a standard scone to perfection
Dr. Yubsie
Mary's used to be recipes FROM HER BOOKS
Dr. Yubsie
at one point Nadiya comments that she looked at the recipe in the book in the past and declared "those are far too fussy, I'm not making them"
Dr. Yubsie
now they're more a gotcha than a test of skill
Flash Bastard
"Do you think they gave us a pastry technical [in the final] because we're all bad at pastry?"
Flash Bastard
My favorite final technical so far is 'make a Victoria sponge, here's your round pans.'
akinoame
Oh god, my sister told me about this gentrified bullshit fake s'mores
akinoame
Between the two of us, we agreed there are only 3 things you can change on there: 1) original graham cracker or cinnamon, 2) milk or dark chocolate, 3) amount of marshmallow
akinoame
I mean, seriously. "We don't have graham crackers here!" is NOT an excuse for a BAKING show on this particular item
akinoame
And at that rate...yeah. Bake the graham crackers yourself and determine which flavor you go with. Make the marshmallows yourself and determine how much you are going to put on there and how many firefighters you are going to need to douse the flames. And then just go ahead and customize the chocolate...
akinoame
...BUT THE MOLTEN LAVA MARSHMALLOW IS WHAT MELTS IT.
akinoame
This is supposed to be a 3rd degree burn in process!
Dr. Yubsie
There is SOME reasonable variety to the cookies
Dr. Yubsie
We sometimes like to use these chocolate topped cookies for variety
proтoвadger
the giant barely melted marshmallow is by far the most offensive part
Dr. Yubsie
yes
Dr. Yubsie
Also playing around with the components is for goofing off at a campfire
Dr. Yubsie
Not on telly saying this is what a s'more is
akinoame
You'd honestly think they'd have learned after the tacos
Dr. Yubsie
This was the same season
akinoame
Still
