In Sydney they call the ones on the left shallots and on the right spring onions.
What anyone in Australia calls the small brown ones I have no idea. I think I've seen them called shallots in Melbourne supermarkets, but in that case I don't know what we call the ones that Sydney calls spring onions.

Is that all clear?
Haha I'm from sydney and even more confused now. They were shallots but now in the UK firmly spring onions
OMG aren't ashlee and Sophia the most horrible people, They are so caught up in their hatred of Angela & melina who who will they blame when they go??
Ps A & M have been faves of mine
Why can't some of the more unlikeable couples stuff up?

You've got me wondering now whether there are regional variations in the UK. Proper pickled onions are usually actually shallots, at least in my neck of the woods, but that's all I know of.
I suspect that A&M aren't quite as good as A&S and will go before them - although I reeeeaaaaallllly hope not. Not just because they're nicer people but because A&S will be intolerably smug if they do.
A&M sealed their own downfall, with the raw duck - A&S maybe unliked, but they can cook, even getting Luke & Scott to make the best pud, they didn't have a clue what they were doing.

Cracking series so far!
For me, the small brown onions in the first picture are shallots, and in the image of 2 onions, they are both spring onions but more commonly the ones on the right are referred to as continental salad onions....
But, I've been brought up knowing shallots and scallions to be interchangeable with spring onion - have aussie family and a growing up had a house full of Australian Womens Weekly cook books!
I just tend to look at the pictures or the recipe and figure out what they actually mean.
I guess it is similar to the whole swede vs turnip here!
Having seen what A+S are cooking with, they would be what I'd expect them to call shallots - they weren't as thin as "our" spring onions and much longer!

I agree with you entirely.
I can understand how some things get called by a name used somewhere else in the world (Cilantro is Spanish for Coriander for instance) but to use the name of something else just seems incredibly confusing.
Can't call this one - they've mostly laid off the misdirection this time, luckily. Neither of them did well but desserts often swing the vote, I suppose. Bit will it make up for such a horrendous main?
ETA: must stop posting too soon. Misdirection came straight after I posted so no surprise. I liked them but I'm glad A&M are staying to annoy A&S!
I had to finish watching slightly behind. Gosh, neither team wowed did they. I liked them too but there were just too many mistakes. The marks were harsh for both teams.
I didn't see any reaction from A & S after A & M were saved. I guess we have that treat tomorrow :-D
Angela & Melina....scraped through last night, Sam had a bad day - Ali's pud, couldn't save them....but she did look miserable, from the start to the finish.
That new judge....he looks a greasy mess.:o
And did Ali & Sams, 'gravy boat', look like something you'd find at the side of a hospital bed.;-)
Ohhh I'm sorry about Ali and Samuel, they were some of my favourites but they weren't at their best tonight. Love how she calls him darling all the time and he sooo fancies her. I know they're ' just friends' but I do hope they realise they should be together now. We can all see it 💕
Ps thank you for my warm welcome!
pps Could also be starting to warm to the mean girls - they are great cooks and they're quite funny

Sheesh, colonials.
Bring on tomorrow.......
Hey!
That lot up in Sydney are a bit mixed up. Here in Melbourne we call spring onions spring onions.
To confuse things more, I don't know whether you call these shallots:

Or these (on the right).

The Italians haven't got a chance tonight.

I deliberately didn't watch the opening credits tonight now we know how they misdirect.
Nope, it's down again.
I don't know, looking at it sticking out just now I think it's pretty well glued down.
You can really tell it's early in the series can't you? Neither team is coming up with the goods.
Well that didn't go to plan for Ali and Samuel. Thank goodness they left the buns off or they'd have been slaughtered.
It's hard when you like couples but their cooking just isn't up to the standard needed.
