Anyone been watching this? I find it interesting (if a little masochistic) to see what sumptuous, magnificent pies, cakes, buns and loaves are being cooked up by the non-diabetic smug-ocracy! All those lovely things that they don'e have to think twice about, apart from when they think 'that was yummy, another helping for me please!' 😱 😉

Like me before diagnosis, it never even enters their heads what it might be doing to their blood sugar levels, thanks to their perfect, functioning pancreases! Now, it's more of a nostalgia trip! Still, it does have the lovely Mel and Sue as hosts 🙂
 
Yeah love it i like mel and sue very funny girls,i catch up with it on Sunday when its repeated.Last weeks was particularly tough for the contestents,my fave is mary-anne she always makes such homely food.What about that young guy Rob he is lucky to still be there

I really can't believe Rob is still there - another **** up and he must go. I think he should have gone last week - half the time his stuff has just fallen apart!

They sent both of them packing last week! Yes, the Asian lady should have stayed, she did some beautiful little cakes the week before with flowers on 🙂

Ahh yes you now reminded me,bit of a shock but nevermind,next week Janet or Jo to go I think......it looks good next week the larger lady with glasses runs off crying,dont tell me why though cause i guess your watching it now lol


haha thank you Alan you gentleman
 
Compulsory viewing in our house. So many disasters this week!
 
Very much a nostalgia trip, feels a bit like some sort of therapy though; How much can I watch without feeling a twinge of temptation 🙂 Thought the one who had the oven on defrost and produced a tray of half raw soggy messes had a lucky escape !

Perhaps somebody will commission a series of cooking shows based on good diabetic diet... my rather smug self thinks that the non-diabetic population could benefit greatly too !
 
Even though I dont cook myself I love cookery shows. My personal fave is come dine with me, I was actually wondering whether a diabetic had participated. It would be interesting viewing.

Yes, it has been suggested several times here over the years that a diabetic taking part would be a very good way of educating the nation about what we can and can't eat, and the particular problems of eating to suit your blood sugars. The dishes prepared by the non-diabetic contestants would also be interesting as it would reveal what non-Ds consider appropriate for a diabetic 🙂
