test

good luck sarah thank you all for us gary and george come in front of us and place the big pot on the stove all I can think about now is what's in it, so here we are just you two of the top six facing elimination, in front of you is a pot, what's in the pot, 18 different ingredients, one at a time , which they will identify. one ingredient on that plate in front of george and I there are 18 plates and in each plate there is an ingredient the first person to incorrectly identify one of those ingredients goes home that pot contains your destiny please step forward and remove the lid we have an I looked inside right away um, I could tell what that was um, coming from Italian origin, I could smell it, it's a ministry suit, right, it's not just a

minestrone

suit, it's my best friend, Steve, it's his recipe mother from the Calabria region, guys.

I would walk in there and look around, okay, it's not your typical

minestrone

and just remember it's got 18 ingredients in it, do you get the aroma? They were just vegetables. There are a lot of things we can see. Someone has to start this little exercise, so Sam, please. try and identify, if you can, the first of those 18 ingredients in the minestrone, no problem, eh, the first ingredient I'll say is celery, celery, yes, celery, of course, yes, I am, I'm sure, thank God for that joe, celery is in minestrone

soup

, thanks. poe, how are you feeling, I feel good, it's okay, you're in second place, you can start

test

ing, name the obvious, you don't want to risk being eliminated so soon with the carrot, the carrot, you sure do, I'm sure that there are 100 carrots in the least training very soon one of us will go home we know that we are going to face each other sam yes, I am going to identify the third ingredient onion for sure yes onion well, then sam, can you identify the fourth correctly ingredient zucchini zucchini? done four minus 14 missing how difficult can it be remember this from the beginning you must be absolutely sure sam papa papa thank you potatoes tomato tomato tomato tomato green beans green beans green beans green beans well done sam po the ingredient basil basil is sam next I guess it is olive oil olive oil is flat leaf parsley parsley flat leaf parsley is well done potato, good stuff, let's have a good

taste

, let's make sure you really think about this are these cannellini beans, not navy beans, no it's not macaroni beans definitely cannellini beans definitely fingers crossed camellin beans thank you karen well done sam thank you 11 ingredients missing seven to go you will try it not not very confident very risky I'm going to use parmesan cheese well the Italians make a lot of cheeses mozzarella pecorino parmesan pecorino very similar flavors usually I put parmesan in my minestrone and parmesan cheese, you're right, well done Sam, yes, six ingredients left, it's getting harder now, isn't it?

It certainly is, yes, you make a mistake on this, not going further in the competition, I know how that makes you feel like I don't want to make a mistake right now, tell me what the next ingredient is, sam, sure, cabbage, cabbage , yeah, cabbage, let's hope there's cabbage in this minestrone cabbage, amazing, wow. there are five left you are really doing it what is the next ingredient? I'm going to use barley. Can you see it and try it there? Yes, very confident, po po, there is no barley in the minestrone, it's lighthouse, seriously, yes, it's over.

I eliminated sudden death, that was my next guess, they just eliminated me for a grain that is very similar to barley lighthouse, it is traditional, especially in central and southern Italy, that was going to be the difficult ingredient because you know why you needed a knowledge of Italian cuisine to really be able to choose what your second option would have been. I was just going to have a broth and behind that salt, pepper and behind that garlic, those are the 18 ingredients, oh no, I'm getting excited, I'm sorry when I realized my

masterchef

. The trip is over, I'm very philosophical about it and for some reason I felt like maybe it was my time to go, yes you're right dad, I felt pretty torn, not being able to paint and be here, but the reason I came here It was because I felt very strongly towards the food industry to a point where I was very distracted by my painting, so those are just two things that I really love and that means the immediate future.

Wait for you. The immediate future is basically going to my mother's house. She has so many recipes that I need to write down that she has cooked for me since she was a child and I really want to go there and get those recipes. down, it's actually very, very important to me. I still have pictures of you putting manus ketchup on a plate in Adelaide chicken mayonnaise aioli. Absolutely disgusting but dangerous. We got this dish that left us all speechless. It was the dish of the tour. That's the kind of dish I was really hoping to find in this competition.

Good luck for the future. We will definitely miss you. Thanks George, you know what I can give you and I think, whatever you want to do. with food or whatever, just do it because you're really amazing. You've done incredibly well in this competition, so good luck, I'll miss you. I really don't know what to say except that, thank you very much. for guiding us poe, it's time for you to leave the master chef kitchen we will miss you a lot of luck thank you guys, thank you
