The Pudding/Dessert World Cup - rules, nominations, runners and riders

[Tooting Gull]

What a fix. There's going to a huge row if Angel Delight goes all the way. Angel-gate, and we haven't even started.

It'll be like the year the Czechs won the Euro's despite not actually making the finals. I think this might actually GARNER some support for the Angel Delight... everyone loves an underdog

If it's good enough for Leon Knight, it's good enough for me

 

[Simster]

I think fruit crumble would probably be the bookmaker's favourite with odds of around 8/1, and rightly so.

Indeed, if it was December rather than August right now, those odds would be slashed to the 5/1 mark IMO.

For me the group of death would be:

Fruit Crumble
Banoffee pie
Syrup Sponge
Treacle Sponge
Knickerbocker Glory

Eat them all at once, and there are going to be some quite literal groups of death in this contest.

I think cheesecake & trifle would be happy with that draw.

Denmark surely?

I think Spotted Dick might be the housewifes favourite on this one.

I think cheesecake & trifle would be happy with that draw.

Indeed, I was tossing up whether to add cheesecake, another HEAVYWEIGHT. I'm guessing you will be campaigning for the trifle corner.

As soon as SIM mentioned alcohol in the trifle I turned off. That's not right. I'll be going for the cheesecake I think

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Denmark surely?

Indeed. I stand corrected

 

[MattBackHome]

Profiteroles could cause a few shocks, I reckon. Given a favourable draw they could do well.

Alcohol is OPTIONAL.

The competition is simply too intense to justify both trifle-sherry and trifle-no alcohol options.

The same applies to crumble, cheesecake, Angel Delight options and multiple pancake accompanyment options.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Do all entrants get the same refridgeration, or if you are one of the heavyweights like Banoffee Pie do you get the early pick of the best facilities?

 

[Mendoza]

speaking of cheesecake, it is DISGUSTING the New York Cheesecake did not make the final 40 despite being seconded.

All hail ANGEL DELIGHT

WHAT THE HELL

Cheese with biscuits isn't a desert :s

You have cheese with biscuits after desert. How Creme Caramel isn't in this is beyond me. And what about pannacotta? WTH is pineapple upside down? This is a disgrace.

 

[theonesmith]

In fact SCREW YOU ALL.

I'm flouncing.

 

[Gazwag]

SUSSEX's very own Banoffi pie can be the only winner

 

[Badger]

Isn't it about time you kicked this off again [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] ? It didn't even make it past the group stages before.

 

[Simster]

Yes, yes it is [MENTION=6625]Badger[/MENTION]. I shall do this after the comedians one. We can't have TOO MANY world cups going on.

Although I can't help thinking that world cups are part of the reason Albion are doing so well. The hardest animal one started in erarly January and we haven't lost a game in that time.
