food

.

All you have to do is enjoy it for three minutes and give me your best

poker

face

. How do you feel about it? How do you think we feel? Freaking out like this, so we essentially have to eat this stuff and not show any correct reaction and I'll give one point for each round of the number one mic list for the first reveal. Oh, I like these, technically they're not

fruits

or

roots

. actually starting with a bud or a flower or a bud that is a Szechuan pepper, it's not a Szechuan bud, it's not actually part of the Szechuan pepper family, but it has a very similar effect, so got his name within his three minutes, we'll ask you to chew two, two, but also at some point, when you're feeling good, we'll ask you to pick up the second crash and there's a plate underneath to complement, okay, Mike, you're three minutes, start now, insert one and chew. slowly now these have been provided by our friends at Copper Crest it's the Szechuan flower which is like a strange feeling in the cheeks because the cheeks the lips twitch there's a tremor I'm really feeling nothing then so I'm Just let me tell you what I should do this.

Biting into one is a sensory experience that goes beyond simple taste. For some people, the taste of Szechuan button resembles an electric shock, it starts with a champagne-like sensation on the top of the tongue and then moves around the mouth a kind of anesthetic sensation in the cheeks a numb sensation followed by a flush of saliva I'm getting a lot of electric shocks once in all my old factories can you feel yourself salivating? talk about a flush of saliva my mouth is so wet but my throat is so dry okay jamie you're next and your time begins now the edible flower bud of the agmelaloracia plant, also called the toothache plant, how do you You feel, man, I feel like I've potentially eaten 30 bees.

I took one before a meal to awaken the senses. Making two is bold, so they are often used as a fun stimulus to literally excite the mouth. Barry, your turn. Your three minutes start now. They are quite fragrant, aren't they super floral? The fragrance is friendly. how to dominate my mouth at the same time, it's actually very, very nice, very fruity, actually put another one in, okay, raise the shock, you're in two minutes, what you have is a cocktail, now, this is a cocktail famously served in a bar in the US and they actually serve a Szechuan bud first because what it does is accentuate all the flavors of the cocktail.

You have a tequila margarita. Are you kidding? He can't drink tequila. Don't you remember his bachelor after eating the whole button? The flavors stand out the citrus becomes almost electric that's tequila times 500 this is the first round what the hell is wrong with you? I love the daisy. I made margaritas a few weeks ago. to stop it mid century it's fruity and citrusy and it's like I bit into a lemon and it's there for my salivation so my glands salivate quite a bit but it's nothing I can't deal with something like the last one oh you . you can go for the last one you have 15 seconds left last 10 seconds 3 2 one stop oh my goodness, well done, it was fantastic, it was great.

I was gobbling up every second of that bear if you want to chew on some borage or borage. crest, apparently you can, is the antidote, it somehow neutralizes the electric shock. Wow, I don't feel like I did very well on that one that really takes over your entire mouth, do you? Making two was a silly four. I instantly regret it, I regret your mouth is very wet, remember this is just the warm-up to excite your taste buds for what's to come, but in this round I think I give the point for the best Barry's

face

afterwards After having done four and until time was up, you kept it. strong, I don't agree that water is worse than decatur number two.

This was probably one of the most requested in the comments after our chili challenge. It's umiboshi, so Japanese salted sour plums. I need you to eat both on the thyme, but. be careful as the plums have stones in the middle you can spit them out micro your time starts now it should be super sour super salty I'm just going to get over them I don't feel any of those things at all try It is used as a digestive tonic when eaten alone, but it is mixed more regularly with granted stuff, so there are involuntary reactions like a pucker, not a pucker, not a bit like preserved lemons, they are cured in salt and eventually fermented and pickled naturally in their own juices no, no They have joysticks juices if I had to describe the taste it would be a 0 out of 10.

I get nothing, no sensations Jamie, you also have three minutes from now, what about the sourness, any kind of sour plum? the notes that come out are not sour, just sweet plum, the interesting thing is that when you taste something bitter and involuntary, your face reacts, it's instinctive and we can't really override it because in the past it was a trigger for acidic foods as a warning because often the acidic foods would make us sick spoiled milk some fruits or subscribe he is doing well he is doing very well barry you are three minutes start now and chew well oh that was an instant the pucker there is the pucker we wanted to show you that it is completely involuntary I am impressed you two managed to hide it I didn't eat it eat it his

poker

face is not as strong as his first round barry if they raise the shock maybe there is a more appropriate application very often this is a takeaway snack Japan and the salted plums are put in the middle or cut into sushi rice.

This fish is eel, it's well smoked, just delicious, a little bit of teriyaki glaze, that taste of something that swims, so you wouldn't get any of the saltiness. No heartburn, you are eating it like a piece of sushi, yes, that is very delicious, what do I do with that? That's horrible, I don't know anymore, don't touch it, touch it, wow, you can eat some rice that will absorb it all in the end. three two one stop I feel like all the sea is here it's really not that bad I mean, yeah, very, very salty, um, very, very bitter, but manageable, well done, great job, terrible poker face.

I was so fooled by your poker faces. I did not do it. I hope I'm that bad, so in this wonderfully subjective judgment for me, the best poker face in this round was Jamie, ready for the next round. Mike hasn't scored yet. This is the third round. Why do you question my existence? I'm just keeping these guys informed. date on the score lift the clutch what that is i have no idea just wasabi so look this is how it's going to work there are actually three stages to this stage one wasabi on a spoon stage two we'll ask you to grate some of your own wasabi and try it fresh and then there's a little treat for you at the end your three minute mic with wasabi starts now oh we try it now this is very much a nasal heat it's the same kind of family as mustard and horseradish that face of poker okay, I'm not saying anything, there's a little bit of tears in your eyes, but what else do you feel? because I would have expected you to have a real warm feeling, but yeah, nothing, the good thing about this is that it's water based. that based on oil, unlike the heat of chili, it dissipates quite quickly it's gone it was never there jamie your wasabi now starts three minutes for everyone at home this is obviously a rhizome there it is there I don't know, I just remembered this funny joke , why are you crying about that?

So baby, why are you crying? Joe, it's always just an eye, just in the corner of the eye. Okay, I love wasabi. What can go wrong? You are a big fan of sushi. It's delicious. It's probably worth noting. that most green wasabi paste in the UK is probably actually just colored horseradish which might actually be horseradish because it's not as strong as the wasabi we've had in the past, in fact it's quite mild , raise the second shock, okay, we have something new for you wasabi root, please grate a little on the plate. I want a good spoonful again.

Oh, a very fine grater and what you'll get is a paste that forms on the back of the grater. Now the thing about fresh is that it's actually probably not as potent as pasta, the flavor dissipates much faster, so if you have freshly grated horseradish you'll want to eat it within 10 or 15 minutes, so they'll do it at often at the table or at the sushi bar without receiving anything, it's a prick in the nose. You're almost poker-faced, what happened, I sneezed and it's completely unrelated, so there are some other rhizomes that we use in cooking, think turmeric and ginger galangal, oh, it's in, I'm actually pretty sure that this because it has not had a bad effect.

For my part, if you want to enjoy a tempura prawn with wasabi mayonnaise, then actually that's probably a good way to enjoy it, they're delicious, it's excellent, that would be great, actually, oh, it's a bit of a sniff, that's right. affecting your nose a little bit um it's because I have a spot growing somewhere on my nose and that's why it's red I don't know if you've noticed I love wasabi I also love very spicy mustard three two one oh how is that? That goes to places that got into my brain. Okay and it hits you and you say I can deal with it and then it goes up there.

I was a little worried about the first one because it was a success, but. as soon as I knew I was over that hit, I was fine, good job, very good job, I'm not sure there was much to judge in that round, Barry gets a poker face, oh, you're right, buddy, oh buddy, oh no, oh no, this. Do you ever lie to him? Mike is having a moment but now I'm going to do this. I really sympathize with him because I've been there. It's horrible and there's nothing better. I think you could be pretty good at this. a mic a tie is not worth it i have to win the next two this is salmiakki finnish salty licorice no more salt your three minutes the mic starts now obviously licorice we know is one of the oldest herbal remedies in the world dating back to the ancients Egyptians, the pharaohs would drink licorice tea.

Do you like licorice? I love it, this is very tasty, Jamie, your time starts now, it is actually very good. I prefer it to be a normal licorice. Does the salty taste seem overwhelming to you? I couldn't say that I have salt. in it, your three minutes start now new year new year I love licorice involuntary frown says it in his eyes much sweeter than I thought, I bet the liquid fruit is incredibly sweet in places like Iceland, it was practically the only sugar that they could create because you couldn't even pollinate flowers in Iceland. Are you looking at this strawberry?

I'm watching. Pick up the second shock and you have the licorice root. Oh, I thought this was interesting. This isn't going to get worse. but this has to be chewed, so I soaked one end to make it easier, but basically just chew it, ah, it actually tastes really good, it's really sweet and delicious, it has a lot of wood, it's amazing to find a piece of wood that tastes so to licorice oh god, it's a real stick because you don't really know that you're enjoying it at all you're not even in front of poker cute, it's really cute three two one can you stop now can you tell us the truth oh no, it's okay, oh god, I hate you, oh thank God for that, do you like licorice?

No, it's like you took licorice and somehow made it worse, oh my God, that was horrible, it tasted like every night I went out at that age. 18 years old and threw up from zambuca I know exactly what you mean, you know what you actually had a pretty strong poker face, but I don't think it was as strong as Jamie's and he will take the point and this was a challenge. for me because this is a challenge for you this was a challenge for me because Mike actually gave less signals but he actually enjoyed it so he didn't have a poker face while Jamie hated it but still kept a poker face so it's What did you give him, the point, that's not the point, can you see my dilemma here?

Comment below on the last round. Mike seemed to understand something. Oh, Eva, I'm still mad at you. We all know what's underneath because we've been smelling it all morning. Raise the bell. about the king of fruits wow that's huge in your three minutes we would like you to eat that and your time starts now come on microphone come on the famous Asian fruit with a stench so powerful that it is banned on public transport durian, what? are you enjoying that microphone? It's delicious, your words say one thing, friend, but your toneand your face say something else.

I've really enjoyed it. Actually, it's not bad at all. One food writer, Richard Sterling, describes it because the smell of it is best described as turpentine and onion garnished with gym. sock, you can smell it from yards away, well I can confirm the whole studio stinks, okay jay, your three minutes start now, I think the fascinating thing is that it's all about the flavors you're used to, we grow up on sandwiches egg with blue cheese and those, therefore. They're pretty normal to us durian if you grow up with it it's delicious to us it's pretty unusual it's almost gone is there any gag reflex there jay oh he hasn't even eaten it yet oh I mean wow, stop it, what are you doing jay?

I mean, you're struggling to swallow it. It's been in your mouth for a long time. It makes a lot of sense here, there's no pressure, but your three minutes start now, so that might smell like stinky feet to some. If you've grown up with it, it's an absolute delicacy, you just have to forget about the bush, you might think it smells like drains, without drains, are tall, rotten eggs. Halfway through your time, lift the bell and enjoy a durian smoothie for about the same thing. The amount again mixed with milk and durian banana is widely used in dairy products, so think of custard as ready-made custard.

We have made it into a cheesecake, frozen cheesecake, which was excellent, oh this is so delicious, the pulp of the fruit is sometimes eaten raw or cooked. and is used to flavor various traditional Southeast Asian dishes and sweets. It's not the worst. It smells much worse than it tastes. Enjoy the smoothie. Barry. You're putting me off my delicious smoothies. Do you know that there are reactions here in the smoothie? and you haven't even had your turn yet, you know what's actually a really good smoothie, it tastes pretty banana-like, how long do I have 15 seconds, the last few seconds, so ha, your eyes are watering, you've had a little to drink ? you're having a hard time swallowing you're doing better with the shake don't try not to breathe through your nose i think that's where the problem is oh here we go that was horrible you did so well what happened was you drank the drink oh my god oh everyone I knew which at the end of those three minutes I wanted to vomit, however when you don't think about it like that, in the shake it was actually very pleasant, it's just a very different flavor on its own, it's too strong for me.

I've had tasty fruits, I mean, it was bad, it makes you nauseous, but it's the smell, this is so close. I can't believe you tripped at that last moment because you and Jamie were level. Had a point to give, but jamie gets the final poker face point and takes the win in fair play. I don't feel like I've ever won. The question is, of course, what would you like the kids to try next time? Comment below if there is a category you would love. to see, I think no, no, no, no, we have the chefs participating in a pokeface challenge, comment below, yes, and also comment below what you would like them to eat and we will put it together and that will be the next one. challenge, have you ever reached the end of a long day without ideas, ingredients or energy to cook takeout?
