Word Salad is a light-hearted look at pop culture through the lens of left politics.
This video is on the Great British Bake Off, one of the most successful British TV programmes of the 21st century. But what does that say about Britishness?

Find the answers to these questions and more, by watching the video you are ignoring right now by reading this description instead. I *can* make eclairs, by the way. Probably.
