Padje posted:I thought I'd read they were bringing it to BBC1? To the best of my knowledge, it's one of those things that gets talked about a lot (everyone wants Paul McGann to play Nightingale up to and including Aaronovitch from what I can see) but hasn't ever been properly confirmed either way.

Bake off tonight. Also the documentary on BBC2 @ 9PM about air traffic control was pretty good last week. Skies Above Britain - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07pmwyy

Bake off is followed by a prog hosted by last year's winner Nadiya Hussain called "The Chronicals of Nadiya" which is an insanely bad title.

They are cakes, you can tell cos they're cakey. With regards to dunking, you can dunk anything, but most people wouldn't.

I hope the ginger kid hosed up his some other way than doing them wrong way up. I mean, sure that's a huge goof, but I'd still say that's harsh if so.

Jaffa cakes are legally cakes, but everyone I know calls them biscuits because that's the function they serve. Dunking of jaffa cakes is a complicated and serious issue that shouldn't be discussed on a comedy forum.

Surely a Jaffa Cake is already too soft to dunk. I can't imagine dunking for any length of time making the sponge any more pleasant Hey who remembers those Jaffa Cakes mascots in the 90s who would steal the orange bits? I miss those.

I thought the test was that biscuits go soft when they go stale but cakes go hard when they go stale.

I didn't like Mary making it into a north versus south issue, it felt classist. gently caress you Mary Berry.

They're biscuits, don't believe the silly definitions provided by tax dodging biscuiteurs. And you can absolutely dunk them you quivering philistines.

no no no you bite the excess sponge off from round the edges, peel off and eat the chocolate, peel off the jaffa bit, eat the rest of the sponge and then eat the jaffa bit.

Only dunk a jaffa in hot chocolate. Length of dunk is imperative, too short and the sponge won't absorb anything, too long and you're left with just the orangey bit.Rondette posted:no no no you bite the excess sponge off from round the edges, peel off and eat the chocolate, peel off the jaffa bit, eat the rest of the sponge and then eat the jaffa bit.
