We’re watching GBBO Professionals and the presumably auto-generated captioning is having some struggles with the French vocabulary of patisserie.

@overholt I had to pass this to my baking show aficionado wife who explained that it was the thing I've been calling "the stupid christmas tree made out of timbits "

The Human Capybara

@overholt For non-bakers it's a croquembouche* which is French for "crunchy in the mouth".

It would have been even better if the caption had it half right:
"It's always exciting to do a cock in the mouth."

@overholt I remember going to a French inspired restaurant owned by some South East Asians because of their signature dessert of Cock In Bush - which is how it was written in the menu (croquembouche).

Obviously trying to spell many dishes phonetically.

they were honesty super nice people, fanatically about the food and made it all very well.
Just kept laughing at the menu.

@overholt I mean, I was at Pride Party a couple of weeks ago, and it was kind of exciting every time that happened
