I have Britbox which streams tv shows from England. One of the best shows I've seen is The Hairy Bikers - two amateur cooks who ride motorcycles and are built along the lines of the 2 Fat Ladies. One of their best series is the Hairy Bakathon where they rode from Belgium to Romania, baking pastries that were typical of the country they were in. They also visited top bakeries along the way, watching master bakers make pastries and breads.

That said, I don't really make pastries but I do bake bread - challah and raisin bread being my specialties.

LOL! I loved the ‘2 Fat Ladies’ and glad they’ve got television ‘progeny’ of a sort.

I baked bread many years ago, but got out of the habit. I used to love finding that ready-to-bake frozen challah at the grocery store, and used it as an edible centerpiece at Xmas. I never see it anymore, even though our area used to have a very large Jewish population, and the local grocery still overbuys for the holidays. (Today, all the New Year stuff was on the sale rack - got a steal on canned tahini :-)

We used to watch Two Fat Ladies back in the day. It was a good show.

That sounds like a great show. I loved the two fat ladies. Are these women or men?

That sounds like a great show. The hairy bakers does sound like you’d be finding long dark hairs in all the food though!

How about raisin challah? Mmm.
