There are ads as it's a commercial channel, but not a great variety of them — in fact the same ones come round with monotonous regularity. The black horses. The woman with a cat and a toaster finally buying her own house. The woman eating her lunch at the bus stop as nosy onlookers encroach on her personal space. The fat-free milk. The not very exciting oaty breakfast bar. The special rebellious whopping burger advertised because it is plant-based (!) but which, due to shared cooking equipment (so it says in the small print on screen) may not be suitable for vegetarians.
And then there's an ad for a weight loss organisation.
As we are currently halfway through Series 3, we have now seen this ad zillions of times.
We still can't figure out what the dickens this particular woman has cooked.
We have no idea.
There is a longer ad that shows the woman squeezing something — a lemon? an orange? We don't know — onto the top of this creation, but I can't find that longer ad.
Whatever is it she's made?

I also think it looks like a cheesecake -- with poached pears or peaches. xoxo
I think it must be. No one would try to eat a frittata that thick. x
A gelatinous blob! It certainly doesn't look very appealing, but each to their own as they say. The fruit, it is fruit, does resemble sliced peaches. The base looks like rice or something in gelatin??
As to the "vegan" options at fast food "restaurants", it is ridiculous that they cook the plant based patties on a grill/griddle used for cooking dead animal flesh, a profound misunderstanding of the ethos of vegetarians and vegans. The same with the french fries, cooked in oil that may well be used to deep fry animal products. Rant over.
My favorite TV ad at the moment is for Geico insurance, Pinocchio is giving a life coaching seminar, he points to a man in the audience and says, "You have great potential", then Pinocchio's nose grows about a foot long, and he says, "uh oh" and looks very abashed. LOL.
Have a good day,

Pinocchio life coaching — hahaha!! I love it!
The woman with the cat and the toaster who has bought the house. Is that the woman with the really big speakers and all the records? I worry about the neighbours
Yes, that woman. The one who has finally broken free from her parents.
isn't it funny how these sorts of questions can obsess us? let us know if you ever discover the answer since now we're all mighty curious ourselves.
I think I'm with Julie B on this one. Obsess? Yes! I spent *hours* looking it up on the internet!
Could it be macaroni and cheese out of a mold with yellow peppers on top?

You know what? I think if we used that thing for a front cover, we could develop an *entire recipe book*!
We saw the longer ad on telly again last night, and we think the things on top are caramelised oranges — she squeezes juice onto them. Juice squeezed onto cheesecake? Noooooo!!
But macaroni cheese with yellow peppers sound delicious!
I don't know what you would be squeezing on top of macaroni and cheese, though...

Vodka?
i, too, thought it looked a bit like mac'n'cheese in aspic. what a ghastly thought. but what are the things on top??? vodka just might be the best antidote - straight up.
Yep. Mac'n'cheese in aspic! Hmm . . .
Ha!
