NOSTALGIA Recipe Relay Challenge | Pass it On S2 E22 | SORTEDfood

I don't know what to do that's annoying it's terrible we're hiding this from them oh what's going on here this is a joke where's the plate? this should be very obvious oh dear oh dear come on then janice tell us what today's topic is about If it's

nostalgia

, you need to create a dish that takes us all back to our childhood many moons ago, especially for Ben Hot Kettle Black Janice. What may be nostalgic for one person is not necessarily the same for another, which makes it even more entertaining for all of you. looking at me included and who starts, you decide, does anyone like to go back and like to go first on the established trajectory?

You sit for 40 minutes, I'll go first and then when you're in you pick the next person, yeah okay I'll see one. of you in 10 minutes oh airbus enjoy one at a time the boys have 10 minutes to contribute to a dish the remaining participants will have no idea what happened previously until they enter the kitchen

nostalgia

and that table of ingredients I think it could disappear one two ways you could go retro, buy something amazing and dessert-like, or I saw some ingredients that took me to a nostalgic place, the British coast, that's what I would love to do, but with a lot of twists and turns, like this Let's make some. potato wedges, but let's give them a good seasoning.

I don't know if I've ever cooked a noodle liar, but I wonder if a noodle has the same type of seasoning packet inside as a bag of ramen noodles. I don't really know what this is, but I think a little bit of that seasoning before you get to the noodle pieces could be pretty good and this particular one is curry flavored, lots of oil, we got some pop noodles with curry chips, monster, We chewed on our pickled onion monster. I don't think it's one of the best flavors on the planet. I don't think I've tried them for about 20 years, but wouldn't it be great if they had a breadcrumb consistency that we could put around some fish?

I want to leave many clues. of what I have in mind and I hope that people can figure it out and continue that journey, so let's cut the fish, they will fish with sticks on the table, but it will be more fun if we do our own, especially now that we can put the monster things Over there. I'll season them, we'll just flour them in there and give them a head start, but I'm not going to put that on you yet, but you'll notice that's being very optimistic. I'm going to leave out the peas because we need schools to make something with peas um and these also caught my eye cockles I'm not sure if we've ever used cockles we can get rid of the pickle but I'll keep it because we might be able to use it this one will be a

challenge

that the boys won't like, but I'll leave this as a wink.

Wouldn't it be great if we opened a couple of oysters, maybe made a syrup out of that? I'm thinking about a homemade tartar sauce, which is herbie and citrus and has the flavor of capers or pickles, we want something like that, but what if the flavor comes from it going to say pickled onions pickled onions with fresh herbs it's weird , but I think that might work with that, that's my Once finished, I'm taking one of those. I'm going to give it a solid 7.5 out of 10 and I'm going to include Barry below because I know he loves C2.

Let's go back in time with a little monster. What is he doing? We have cockles. Where we go? Well, what is this about? Is it a shared memory? He's trying to bring it back, so we have some floured cod. Ah, interesting fish and chips with a monstrous crunch. There is also a vimto Jew. Who is that? What I'm going to do is as little as possible. I'm going to go ahead and do what I'm told. Let's do a little paneering and prepare these to use flour, egg, monster, chew, obviously, oh, weird, weird, weird, weird, oh dear.

I just did seven minutes of paneering oh does it have any animals oh great idea chop food stinky food let's put some water to a boil quickly let's make this tartare I'm just going to chop this pickled onion mix it without mayonnaise and a little parsley, I mean. You should have an interesting type of sauce, let's double check how hot the oil is. The plate has gone well. That's the first one. It's not very spicy. It's not very hot. Oh dear, I didn't do much. Am I in the middle of the road? I'm going to five, I mean, I didn't screw it up, I think I need someone with confidence, I need someone to steer this in the right direction, James, okay, okay, here we go, lots of seafood, pickled onions, breaded fish, Yeah, fish fingers and chips, I'm fine. with that, okay, they can go back in, they'll probably have to take them out.

Why are you smoking? Why is this here? Why are any of these here? What is this? What has Barry done? This is horrible. Where am I taking this? I do not know what it is. It's because I have no idea what you want me to do with this, what is this? It's not on, that's boiling. Waiter, is my finger on it oil? I don't know, I'm really glad I didn't dip my finger in that That was a great choice James, well done, oh this is for this, it's for this, it's for these, shall I cook them?

Yes, because then I will have contributed a lot to the plate that was selfish, okay, okay, I'm coming. to make a ketchup because I want to use the sweet ketchup from vimto finto it has sugar they go in a pan I think the wedges are already good it's coming in it's coming in these two are ready to use that ketchup do you want to continue for another 10 or 15 minutes and I hope mix it up I also want to try that oh, I'm done, I'm done, that works, I'm going to give myself an average of six out of ten, I'm going to bring it. jamie not necessarily because he's going to do a great job but because I think mike will do a better job of plating well oh, I have fish fingers, we have fries, that must be a tartar sauce, we have a tomato, the vinegar, the tomato sauce more vinegar.

It's going to have to be a ketchup blender, but looking at it, figuring it all out why it all smells so good, okay, let's throw some peas into this almost boiling water, to me nostalgia is the kind of thing I would eat as a kid and I feel like fish with chips, ketchup, mushy peas and tartar sauce is exactly what I ate when I was a kid, it's also what I eat now and I don't know if that says more about me or more about where we've gone. with the topic but this is good, it's not very usual excellent, it's not very usual that we come into this and everything is in a good place, but it feels like everything is in a good place, why is there vimto that came in here ?

I should have tried this first see if it needs anything it's good it's got a little chocolate in it if you ask me it could be a little sweeter that's why the vinto is here and there's the jamie we know we can make a sauce too Of curry, as well as curry sauce with fish chips, so pot. I guess noodles are essentially flavored ramen noodles that you put in a pot instead of a packet, that's probably the best way I can describe them, they're usually associated with loving yourself, so if you're feeling lonely and I can only imagine they once brought this. from home, he had noodles and, uh, let's look at this here, how does it work?

Just mix, mix, nice, nice, nice, that's done, that's it, that's it, that's our curry sauce that's reducing, let's put some cream in there so it's delicious and creamy curry sauce probably oh yeah , of course, oh no, you will understand well too. I finished the ketchup. I have made a curry sauce. Five Mike, right. I hate going last, I hate going first, I hate going, I hate

pass

ing, it's dirty oh wow wow straight, okay, uh, what we have, oh pieces of fish, okay, I can see where we're going with these fish sticks oh no, I'm supposed to do something with these, no, not at all, bye, my job is, oh peas, wow, this is just. a voyage of discovery cheers for clarifying jay I appreciate it buddy what the hell is that you just put curry powder in? that's going to work mushy curried peas is a thing ah not now, you know, let's go for it, I don't have I have an idea if I can make this work well, so I'm going to mash them up.

Oh, we have six minutes. I hate you, Jamie Spafford, with all my soul. This doesn't work because the peas aren't cooked enough and now I've ruined the peas, okay let's blend them and see what we get, oh well they've been used, what the hell is it? That's Monster Munch, who's mixing Monster Munch. I don't have time to ask these questions, oh my gosh, okay, okay, let's spice that up. I mean, it's not terrible, let's get some salt, let's get some pepper, lemon too, um, okay, let's serve this in a basket of wedges. Okay, let's get some of this in tomato puree and peas.

Okay, we have a plate, so I'm going to go right in the middle. and I say six and a half, which is not in the middle at all because I'm writing out of ten, but I'm going to six and a half out of ten ready, yeah, three, two, one, okay, yeah, no big surprises, yeah looks good. We've made a dish in 50 minutes, the boys making fish fingers and potato wedges, cod fingers in a pickled onion monster munch, topping potato wedges with a curry noodle seasoning and a trio of sauces including curried soft bees, pickled onion tartar sauce and vimto. ketchup, let's dig in and see if it tastes good, cheers, here's to a happier time. more seasoned wedges, I don't know what I'm eating anymore, it tastes like fish and chips I bought at a sweet shop, I can.

I don't understand why, well, let's try to get to the bottom of this, then it's okay with the wedges and I don't know if there's enough, but I put all the seasoning from a curry noodle on the wall, on top of the potato wedges, what? Does this taste good? There were frozen fish fingers in a box on the table, but I thought we could make our own and give it a retro touch, so I cut up some fish and set up a paneer station by bombing the pickled onion monster. like the coating, that's what you can try and it works, that's good, hasn't anyone mentioned the fact that they made a vimpo syrup, yeah, I ignored it, that's what it was, oh it was gross, but I thought It might go well in a tomato sauce because the sugar and vinegar are a little sweeter than I think I made it.

I made the tomato sauce a little more lively as it was on the plate and then I thought the only thing missing was curry sauce so I made the noodles sifted to remove all the liquid, I thought we could reduce it to make a curry sauce, I added a little cream and then I ran out of time, I saw cream peas and I thought: this cream smells like curry, does it love me? put that in the peas and make mushy peas with the infused cream so I said I don't care I'll do it anyway and it tasted good to me it's good it tastes good yeah so the question is refluxes what did you rate yourself?

And knowing that nostalgia is short-lived, is it nostalgic enough to

pass

or fail? I gave myself a seven and a half, which is pretty strong because I thought I shoehorned in a couple of interesting things and I feel like it sets me back. fishing for chip sticks and peas when I was a kid and a beach theme so yeah now I know what it is I love it I have a monster munch and I watched fish and chips it's great it's a pass I gave it a high five because I did what they told me but I didn't add anything creative uh I gave it a six and I think it's a bag I gave it a five I think it's very fun I think it's a fun version of a classic dish so it's a pass I gave it 6.5 and I didn't really make anything except the pea porridge and I think it's a pass for all those reasons.

I completely agree with the warning that this should be our benchmark now that we have to do better than fish and chips and breaded things. because we've done it to death yeah let's try hard if that's our new benchmark I'd say Janice one null as always rate us in the comments from best to worst and send us your ideas for other topics join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag. we had it we need new ideas and themes good work not great but good work well it's hard to build from a place of too much security isn't it all fish sticks and chips how far can you go with that?

But we did it right, let's do it better. Wait a minute, this is fish and chips from Ben's tuck shop, isn't it? Yeah, Ben used to run the candy store at school, no lie, I know you're five p, um, and yeah, you basically just recreated that, right? but on fish and chips
