, “having [Paul’s] personal trump card of the handshake just cements his dominance over the proceedings.” A competition show judge’s signature move will always be a bit cringe , but it just feels overly smug in Hollywood’s hands .No one on earth is as much of a spice weenie as Paul Hollywood. The man has, across the seasons, complained to various contestants that their use of spices ranging from paprika to ginger was too heavy-handed, causing him to cough and sputter.
In Series 6, Episode 5, Paul expresses an inordinate amount of skepticism that contestant Ugne’s idea to pair peanut butter ice cream with concord grape jelly will work. Spoiler: It worked. Expand your mind, Paul.The British equivalent of a fancy meemaw, Mary Berry brought class and gravitas to GBBO, and a notoriously persnickety palate.
The prob started much earlier if anyone remembers any tries at Jewish baking on the show. There is a way to include regional/ethnic/cultural dishes that would be wonderful. They’re missing it.
How pathetic is it that Eater has nothing better to do than pick on GBBS. This has to be one of the most ridiculous articles I have ever read. I don’t think the show has a problem, but you surely do.
I still love it!! I was happy to see a different, non-European cuisine included for once. They do have an international audience, and there is a whole world of delicious baking out there 😊
