I tried the first episode, because I sometimes watch the Korean original, but I couldn't make it through. On the Korean show, everyone can actually sing, and the fun is in trying to identify the voices of different singers. On the American show I was disappointed that most of the people were not singers, and therefore (unsurprisingly) were terrible at singing.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

I watched the Mary Berry/Paul Hollywood holiday shows and their 2014 Master Class shows ... I think I need a translator because some of their terms confuse me ... strong flour? castor sugar? do they set the oven temps in Celsius? Not that I'll ever make anything they demonstrated, but ....

They do the oven in Celsius and also mention "fan", so if your oven doesn't have a fan you'd need a different temperature anyway (I think I saw that online their recipes tell you both fan/not fan)
Castor sugar is apparently slightly less coarse than regular sugar, but isn't powdered sugar?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If I had no job and more spoons on a consistent basis I would really love to tackle watching GBBO from S1 and backing every dish made.

Castor sugar is, I think, superfine sugar. Strong flour is bread flour. My oven has a fan because it has a convection setting. I have not tried to make a single recipe from the show, but I'm fascinated by it.

I don't think I'd ever try any of those recipes ... but I have one of those brains that WANTS TO KNOW (if you know what I mean).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Every time I look up a recipe, I remember that the official ones are British, and I don't have a kitchen scale, so I skip it again.

Jesse, I believe I have more than one. I'll take a look.

Thank you, but I am fine with Imperial measurements and American recipes!

Someone once commented that if the U.S. ever went metric the only people who'd be familiar with the measurements were scientists and drug dealers.
