This went exactly how I thought it would: Jamie added bacon, Mike went Moroccan (it also could have been Asian) and if you told me barry got the wrong recipe to twist, I’d believe you.
Or have him bully himself... “I’m a big fan of lentils” I had no idea how utterly insane ppl are about lentils rn (dear lord I’ve been eating them my whole life pls don’t accidentally kill me...)
I had an idea for one: an All-Chefs pass it on with the normals setting the goal as something suitably nightmarish for only the first one. Be interesting to see if the saying "too many cooks in the kitchen" is amplified when they all actually know what they're doing.
Could be interesting if the normals were told this was the plan and then once they had set the theme/goal it was flipped and the normals had to do it all themselves
@@Kathnar1989 Yeah, but wouldn't that just be another normals pass it on? The whole point of an all-chefs one would be to see if they could come up with the original dish. If it were normals only, Barry would make a cloud egg.
The phrase : -"But what do we have here though? We have fried pasta, right ? So I'm making cheesecake " - Is just so Barry. And I'm not even surprises any more.
I think having a chef or a guest in the kitchen with the Normals was Amazingly entertaining! I can't wait for Poppy Pass it on! it's gonna be so much fun!
Barry's dish already exists here in Brazil, is called "pastel", and this flavour is similar do the one we call "romeo and juliet" (cheese and guava paste).
Descordo muito, por mais que pasteis tem aparencia desse a massa é completamente diferente de uma massa de ravioli. A textura e gosto seria muito diferente tornando isso um prato muito diferente do pastel. Literalmente unica coisa igual é o formato, se ele tivesse feito em outro formato nao teria chamado de pastel.
Yea Barry went a roundabout way of recreating fried pastry pockets that exists in various cuisines... Pastel, empanadas, puff pastry.. just to name a few...
That was the funniest episode ever especially when Mike is like I've made a salad and then baz just pours it into a tortilla wrap and Mike loses it "baz you disrespectful piece of s**t"
It was funny but at the same time I was like yeah..that was kinda disrespectful lol…try it as it was meant to be first..then throw it in a wrap if you want…all in good fun but mike has a good point 😀😀
Sorry, but I could not agree less. The guys have so much already. The dour James was perfect contrast to the others. We defo need a Jo Brand rather than a Poppy.
i found her laugh so annoying (and a bit of her attitude as well)!! i cannot bear that laugh! if she stays i will be watching a lot less of their videos unfortunatly
It was so creative and I bet it was delicious, but Mike's plays more to my taste. Jamie hit seriously decadent 200%. Can't I just get all 3-starter, main and dessert? Fall into food lethargy and declare everyone a winner?
“Can we start inviting guests just for the fun, not for the judgy bit.” Jamie just described what anyone who ever had a chef as a dinner guest felt when others started to ask the chefs opinion about the food on the table.
See, that's why I rarely have chefs as dinner guests. And one of the few times I did I bought some very rare and high end ingredients and told him to have fun. It was absolutely delicious and he told me that that was one of the nicest evenings he's ever had. No stress, a lot of mess and we knew it was gonna be great.
I have to disagree. I don't feel like Barry or Mike did a "twist" on the dish, they made a completely different dish instead. While Jamie's attempt was pretty weak, at least it was a change to the actual dish and not a different thing.
well she did say take a dish and twist it. this is Barry being given a dish. (he would have given it a twist in general) and then asked to really give it a twist. They just asked Barry to be Barry and then make it even more Barry. the only other twist he could have made is to twist so far it goes back to the actual dish
The funny thing is I feel like Jamie's was the only one I'd really consider "a twist" the others were totally new dishes. But I do agree that Mike probably deserved the win, his looked great.
imo, the only one that really counts as a "twist" on her recipe was Jamie's, because it was just a couple simple changes. The other two were almost entirely different dishes, but inspired by her recipe. Still a good show from everyone.
I am loving the fact that no matter who the chef is, they always find ways to throw shade at the normals. Even Ben got a bit more savage when the chef skills thing started. Great video as always. Poppy is a riot! Have her back! Maybe for a Chef vs Chef.
I think the boys should be able challenge each other's badges. So for instance, if Barry wants to, he can challenge for a "plating" or "photography" badge, and they do a head to head, and he can possibly take the badge from one of the other boys.
Poppy is adorable. Reminded me of Adele’s bubbly personality and I can’t wait for the Pass It on. I’m super happy she picked the rightful winner. I’m so inspired, I will be doing Mike’s Salad this week!
ahhh i love poppy so much, love these collab episodes!! (ps i think you should collab with Josh and Ollie of Jolly/ KoreanEnglishman next, you guys are my favourite two youtubers hehe )
mano thank u 🥺 and yes! i went a couple of weeks ago. i tried the cheese and potato dog with sugar and mustard toppings - it’s filling but really good!! i wouldn’t necessarily recommend their tteokbokki - there is definitely better elsewhere in chinatown x
@@georgiamwillis ahhh i dont live locally so haven’t had a chance yet, but it’s defo on my list next time i go down, any other korean places you recommend?? :)
While Jamie's one was a pretty simple twist (adding bacon and not changing anything), I kind of think Mike's one went too far beyond the boundaries of a twist into its own thing. At least with Barry's you could still say "oh yeah it's fried pasta", but Mike went from "pesto egg in wrap" to "lentil salad with fried eggs on top".
yep, even more when he got mad when poppy and barry had it in the wrap. Like, if the only thing the dishes hav in common is fried egg, is it even a simialr enough dish?
I totally agree : a twist implies it's still recognizable I'd just have given them all badges : Jamie for a serviceable, legitimate twist + Mike for an inspired re-interpretation + Barry for the kind of bonkers idea that'll play well on tiktok
I honestly felt like Barrys was the best "twist" Although bacon would be a good addition, it is more like the next logical step. Mikes dish took the simplicity and ease of use of the wrap and made it a completely different, much more complicated dish. Barrys took the premise (snackable fried pasta) and took it in a slightly different and inventive direction!
I think Mike gave the dish a moroccan twist. I would eat it in wrap though (not necessary a standard wrap bread. It would be great in a thicker flatbread)
Damn, the Humor and salt levels were pretty high in this video. And I'm so so here for this. This was really entertaining and probably one of my favourite collaborations so far.
Maybe I'm wrong but when I hear "a recipe with a twist" I still expect the original recipe just with something extra or modified. The only dish that was at all recognizable as the original was Jamie's. For Mike's recipe, the only thing in common with the original was that it had eggs. But hey, I'm not the special guest judge and it was still a great video.
For Mike's I think it was a twist on the original pesto eggs, poppy added the wrap as far as I could tell. So Mikes twist was replacing the oily sauce of pesto with the harissa and doing other flavours to complement that.
agreed. It may be delicious, but we're not just judging taste here or originailty but also the fact its a twist on a dish if anything topped with egg counts as a twist on that dish, may as well say a pizza with egg on it is a twist on it
Poppy fits in so unbelievably well with the group, would love to see her partake in more videos. Her vibe, expertise, cuisine - would almost be too soon to say, but could fill the role of the second chef on the channel
Poppy should definitely be a regular chef on the show since James’ departure - fitted in better than any guest you’ve had in my opinion! P.S. you’re all legends, keep up the awesome work!
She really is a great fit. I can't put my finger on what it is, but she's bringing something to the table that's been missing. I feel like it would be good for the show to have a counterweight to Ben. He's been doing a great job since James left, but having someone else there to reflect with him on everything that the boys are cooking is something the show needs I feel like.
A creativity challenge and Jamie's entire thing was 'add bacon to it'? Mate, you were never gonna win that. I mean yours is the one I want to eat the most, for sure, but come on!
He stayed in the lane, did what the actual dish was with a twist, didn't totally derail like Mike's and Barry's they went to another dish altogether, Mike's didn't even have a tortilla, the only similarity was the eggs other than that nothing to do with the original dish.
On Jamie's instead of the sauce he went with I would have gone with a spicy cheese sauce/fondue. Something with a really subtle flavor that just would have given it that melty, gooey quality that goes so well together with bacon and potatoes.
Such a great episode. Poppy is an absolute joy😂. My favorite part of this episode was the dynamic between Poppy and Mike. Followed by Mike losing his s*** on Barry for doing the exact same thing that Poppy did in her recipe.😆🌯
I have the feeling, the boys need a new second cook that makes the group hole again. Having two cooks with quite different personality in there gives the channel a different kind of energy.
Mike's was definitely clever, but I thought Baz had a great twist on his too, I could've seen him get the badge too. Jaime, while it was a twist, it's not exactly clever if I can look at a recipe and go "oh he's just going to add bacon and call it a day" and be right before even seeing his twist
Of all the guests you have had, Poppy is most definitely my favorite. Personality, she has an amazing laugh and she is expressive and does not seem to be scared of the camera! I hope she returns (regularly)!
Based on what I observed(with quick review on the difference on the dough/pastry), the recipe becomes ravioli if you boiled the pasta but if you fry/bake the pasta it becomes empanada.
Poppy has got to be my favorite guest so far. I'm not on TikTok but could definitely see myself giving her cookbook as a gift. Loved her sass, and pls pls have her back for PIO.
Kinda bothers me how Poppy said that Baz wasn't making a pesto "in any way shape or form".......but it actually had all the ingredients of a pesto just adding mint.
I mean it didn't have parmesan either and if you're getting super technical he made it in a food processor. Real pesto is made in a mortar and pestle. It was definitely more green sauce than pesto
So when i saw her pasta chips and Baz's ravioli my brain wanted to try and make a bit more of a sweet churros pasta. Looked up online to see if there was a sweet pasta dough recipe i could make or if it was even possible. FIRST hit was y'all's sweet ravioli recipe gg Sorted
Would love to see PoppyCooks review all the pretentious ingredients and gadgets Sortedfood have acquired over the last couple of years. Maybe the best and worst of each category!? Also hell yes for a Pass it On!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Poppy was great, but this feels like a controversial badge... Jamie's twist: just add bacon Barry's twist: give the fried pasta a filling and make it sweet instead of savoury Mike's "twist": make a dish which is absolutely unrecognisable and unrelated to the original And the winner is... 🙃 Baz was robbed!
ok, really looking forward to pass it on with Poppy, shes crack up. for Jamies version of her potato ..thingy, i reckon just a bit of flour on the bacon would help it to stick.
all the guest chefs have been great but Poppy is my favorite, she has the same kind of energy as the boys...it was a great episode! so pleased to know she's coming back
Poppy would be *amazing* for pass it on. Humor, charm, personality, confidence and most of all, enough knowledge to keep the guys guessing, and/or save the mess they make.
The second dish I listened to my Moroccan ancestors crying on how they butchered the dish. I always wonder why the English destroy international dishes by adding there crap.
When I've made ravioli (dessert of otherwise) I find it really good to use an ice cube tray for a mould. Lay the pasta into the tray, push into the holes, fill, wet the pasta and seal it. Then turn it out and cut it into very full little ravioli. Also makes it easier for consistency and getting the air out.
I'd have agreed with either Jamie or Barry winning but Mike's lentil salad? No, can't see that ... especially when everyone said it would have been better with a wrap.
I don’t like that the food team is obviously preparing the dishes of the normals which they cook. They don’t even know what the food that they cook tastes like and it’s less of a battle between them and their approach rather than the food team. They are just replicating someone else’s food and not really giving them their own twist. At least that’s what it feels like to me!
Euhm Chef wars? Poppy over on TikTok VS Ben in here? Watch each others video, talk smack/throw shade whilst cooking, voting the winner via Twitter? And if she say's Mike is the winner, well she's an actual chef that worked at a Michelin star restaurant, so that would be hard to argue with.
Ultimate battle idea: The three normals have a week to design their own signature dish utilising all the skills they have learnt so far, then prepare and deliver it in the video. No limitations other than their own imaginations and a chance for them to play to their own strengths.
