"5 INGREDIENTS” FAIL?! | Pass It On S3 E3 

It's a total pass for entertainment value!

Fail.

I love you guys but this was a fail. It started out so promising but adding the noodles sent it down a path of confusion that just didn't make sense. No offense Barry! Love all your content and this was a definite PASS for entertainment!!

Honestly, as a mid-week, after work, "I have random things in my kitchen" meal this would be a PASS for me. Its not stellar, surely there's many ways to improvise around the ingredients (I'd've gone for the tacos instead of the ramen), but as the man said, I'd be perfectly happy with this.

The "Normals" just murdered the dish. 100% FAIL!

You've gotta love Ben's optimism sometimes...

Until those amazing bloopers where the cameras were "off"

U just know Ben was sitting there thinking what have I done to myself 😂😂 he could be working towards a Michelin star or head chef in the worlds most prestigious hotels or restaurants and is instead working with numptys who took nearly half an hour to cook instant noodles 😂😂

​@@ethancampbell215Yeah, but I bet he probably has more fun doing this instead.

The moment Ben said he was leaving options to the normals I thought: "No. You should've just done like a risotto."

Pretty much!

Yes, a risotto would have worked !!

That is why Barry would annoy me the most if I were to do this game!

@@gustavowadaslopes2479 watch as barry yeets the risotto out in spite and not wa ting BDSM again and make a cloud egg

There were even tortillas for tacos right there

Brits 🤧

Choices were made.

well last time ben made fish pie, although everyone else wanted chicken wings, so 🤷

It could have been good but they needed something crispy in there for texture as well.

That sounds like an amazing idea

I would watch that !

Poor Mike. It would be entertainment at it's best tho!

Outstanding idea

Great idea! Perhaps a series, where each one takes turn being the boss chef, with the last episode being Ben in charge?

Prrrrfect comment 🐈

We love the creativity and carnage.. Yes! Totally in sync with ya

yeeees I've missed PIO so muchhhh

well mostly the carnage, its been a while since we seen creativity in these :)

It's why I keep going back to watch them when I'm feeling down

Wait, are you describing this episode or every past one?

@@ladycrayon608 yes

I dunno, from flavorless wraps to a more instantly flavorful noodle wasn't a bad idea. It's just that Mike didn't really use ANY of his time and only made that worse, and didn't add anything creatively

@@dirkstam0511 yes! He could've made lemon noodles with the ramen or crisped up lemon slices for extra flavor. But nooo, he flakes the salmon - instantly destroying the main element of the dish.

@@menemnesa watch as Barry is not in a Pass it on and turns out, they are still bad at cooking as a result

Thing is he still heads to Spain for his holidays. Often wonder if the passport folk give him the eye & tell customs to have a glove ready. Or if he's ever recognised when he's in a tapas bar!? 🦐🥘+🫓=🌯🚫❌☠

@@Getpojke the paella served at most tapas bars is a bigger affront to paella than Jamie's burrito ever was, so they haven't got a leg to stand on. I, for one, thought that it was a clever idea.

@@samsowden It maybe is a little too much gatekeeping on the Spanish part. believe it or not the best paella I ever had was in the Highlands of Scotland... but then much of the shellfish they use comes from there.

It's all in the editing, I'm actually very good at this game!

I think that they've used Jamie as their scapegoat for so long that they don't see him or his contributions. Plus, frankly, there is a lot of really mean sniping toward Jamie. And they've made his name a synonym for screwing up. Just not cool.

@@mreedks He plays into it himself a lot. It's all just fun and games between friends!

@Lady Crayon Bullies always say, "I was just joking! Can't you take a joke?" These jokes go too far sometimes

@@mreedks oh chill, they’ve all known each other for well over a decade, they all joke with and about each other. Its what friends do, its all equal.

My thoughts exactly. If you pesented in a bowl and made some sort of yakisoba it would be much better

Omg I thought that too! RAMEN in a BOWL, there's ntg to think there but then he brought the plate n I just can't look at it anymore 🤭

Sometimes you gotta go hard to earn that "intelligence" bar in the name+ratings intro things.

To Barrys defense: he didn't make a colud egg this time

I absolutely love Barry, except when they are doing pass it on.

If Barry would just take a moment to understand what was left for him to do before he shuts everything down and do his thing. I mean, I understand he doesn't want to be put in a box. But art for art sake is sometimes just garbage.

I honestly think Barry had a good idea here, the uncooked portion of ramen noodles would have made a massive difference to the texture and overall dish but Mike went and fucked that up. Sorry Mike, you screwed up this time.

realising how it's going to be for the rest of the task

It's the ultimate parental trick, "No. I'm not angry with you...just disappointed."

lol

its made even better by Barry identifying what Ben wants and deciding, Nope!

Classic Baz!

yep. sweet revenge 🤣😂

The accuracy of this statement thooo! 🤣🤣🤣

It really shows that its often not his fault.

Oh believe me, I'm still laughing!!!

if you use potatoes as the main ingredient you can do a whole lot with the other four

@@NotAnAlchemist_Ed good idea. I Went with Lemon risotto.

You can do it!

Simple enough if you get rid of the ramen noodles and add back the tortilla. Easy salmon taco or salmon nachos.

Major advantage: no Barry.

Wasn't the last pass it on they did the live one? That was at least over a month ago it feels like

Yeah but it’s been a while on the YT channel

i thought it would give them a chance without jammie... i was underwhelmed. wasreally looking forward to it, having had one in ages!

doubt most people are able to catch the live ones, at least i havent watched any of the live ones, so seeing pass it on back on the channel is great news for me!

Speak for yourself, Mike doing his Drag Impression doesn't do it for ALL of us.

You're so right... this whole community is an incredible beacon of light and love - I've no idea if it's anything to do with us, but maybe that's just what happens when you combine food and friendship!

@@SortedFood I read beacon as bacon... But I still agree!

He still makes an occasional appearance

I mean "where's the dish?!" is the perfect summation of pass it on

👀 Sshh say it quietly! Haha

Fantastic idea!

Seriously, Kush should be in more of these. It'd be great to see two chefs in there again.

As someone who spent 25+ yrs in a corporate job, then offered to work as a junior chef de partie/prep chef for 6 months in our local gastro pub & fine dining restaurant (as they lost so many kitchen & prep staff during lockdown) I see my inexperienced kitchen self in The ‘Normals’ panic & spinning around, then realising they can fall back on techniques they’ve been taught by Ben, James and Kush. My chefs were also terrific guys, tolerated my errors and just killed it even when we were 2-4 people down. Serious respect to all professional chefs like yourself.

at least you are on the side of not participating lol - be glad

@@Annie1962 Actually I'd enjoy doing it. I used to do something somewhat similar with the younger chefs under me. Give them some random ingredients, see what they could come up with for a meal to help teach and train them to come up with new dishes down the line. Big part (to me anyways) of an executive chef's job was to train and prepare all of the chefs under me to move up and advance.

​@@HalfUnder i have seen that happen and often the dishes they would come up with would also be part of the dinner for the crew. sometimes even the front of house staff got involved as they could look and pare the dish with a drink.

@@sirBrouwer You're 1000% right. That would end up happening a decent amount of the time for sure. Was good training for everybody under me from my chefs, to the bartenders and sommeliers, wait staff etc. Being able to think on your feet and come up with something is a necessary skill for a chef. Ingredients don't last forever and so coming up with specials to use up small amounts of Ingredients that are left before they turn is always a plus. We were also lucky in that we had a late night menu in addition to lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Late night always had a different even more laid back vibe.

This is essentially exactly what you've asked for! 😂

@@SortedFood I’m confused, what is? 😂😂

I could elaborate by saying 'day in our personal life.'

This channel without ben probably wouldn't be worth watching.

No, not the prophecy of the Christmas carol!

I highly doubt Ben really cares all that much. They’ve been friends for years. I don’t think he’d leave or hate them because they fucked up on a meal.

I don't think Ben feels like he isn't accomplishing things. They've developed an amazingly successful channel based around his passion and he gets to just go hogwild with it. The disappointment as a teacher though, that's a different story :P

@@ladycrayon608 Exactly. They're really successful. It's amazing that Ben gets to do whatever he wants with the food. I think even as normals, they are doing pretty fine.

Love your confidence!!

Love Janice !

"Janice" is just Mike doing a silly voice, right? Right???

@@mikemack9701 oh dear, oh dear. Watch what you say or Sassy Janice may get after you!!!

I love that idea

Ah amazing! Yep, we’re trying to make it all as easy as possible!

@@SortedFood I also just noticed the Food Waste warning! (I planned for 5 days out of 6 recipes) Love that too, so I know what I can bear in mind for choosing recipes next week!

Barry picking the ramen pack was smart giving cart blanch acess to that spice pack

Love a good binge watch of old sorted!

I enjoyed the chaos in this episode tbh. They didn't have Ebbers to bail them out this time and it was a huge disaster.

I just did an upgrade on it yesterday using zucchini for veg and crunch. One pack fed me for the entire day. I just added another veg or a small pack of salmon for variation as I went through the day. You can do so much with Shin ramyeon and pantry staples.

OH NO, "so hopefully it can meet in the middle." OH NOOOO BARRY.

FINALLY the validation I've deserved for so long!!

an hour is probably for special meals...

Yea I agree !
