The Gala Pie, according to the description Chris sent is a " rectangular pork pie made with a rich hot water crust pastry. And that's not all, you must have the classic line of eggs going through the middle." A thing about me is that I am in a phase of not eating eggs. I have been in this phase for almost five years. Don't worry about it! It could end at any time!
The judges of the Great British Bake Off seem to have lost faith in the format of the technical challenge. For Cake Week, they allowed the contestants to see and to taste the Fondant Fancies, but provided no method and no list of ingredients, a sharp departure from the normal protocol. For Bread Week, the judges asked the contestants to make something that is not bread.
