You go up first while I go up to try. I feel very nervous. It's a soup I have no idea about. I look down and I can see things I can't taste. For example, it's something very pale in cream, but I know the Greeks don't use cream. I thought maybe the bay leaf could definitely smell the saffron. Your two minutes have started now and remember that there are four shellfish. I suddenly realized that I don't know my little clam slash vong away slash peep stuff very good you're in 10 seconds po it's just having to write, taste and think at the same time it's actually a lot harder than you expect four three two one and down well done thanks for chris your turn let's try the first layer of soup I lift I see vongole I see prawns I see mussels and a piece of fish which are obviously the four elements of seafood the pressure is enormous I'm going to put down the pen and walk come back I feel reasonably sure that you have made this soup several times, Jenny, it is different, I am thinking, Jenny, this is your life, you are fighting for your life, I am very worried, eight, seven, six, I had a mental block the last ten seconds.

I froze and couldn't think about Lucas. I would take a spoon and eat the actual fish to see the texture. That's when I made a credible snapper. Oh my God, Justine, you're next. The soup had a little curd in it. That's when I automatically thought there had to be egg here, my nerves just kicked in, I thought, "Oh my God, please, God, help me." I was so scared when I tried it. Were there onions? I could taste the celery. I could see some strands of saffron. there but I wasn't too sure because I thought it might be a little bit of the skin of a tomato, maybe I think it's important to show the judges that we are learning and that we are growing throughout this competition and I really really want to show that I am learning and growing as a cook every day i'm here it tastes like fennel i can taste the garlic and the onion and i can also taste the saffron think about how you cook the soup yourself sam there's so many going on there tom, you're next i really want to show george and gary I've developed my paddle be careful not to stick your scarf in there it still looks like egg but I'm confused why would it I never thought there would be egg in a fish soup and I was lucky.

Last time I took out a piece of styrene and I hadn't cooked with it before and I put it in my mouth and chewed it and it really wasn't the best. The right thing is, there's something crunchy in there that you might want to get out of your mouth. I guess I didn't want to spit it out on national television, so I kept it in my mouth. You have to follow my strategy on these. This kind of thing is getting to a point where you don't know anymore and then just making up keep chewing that level, good luck buddy, he's chewing a star, at least he ate some, we're done testing, now it's time to find.

Take out the 17 ingredients that were actually in that soup so that the person who picked the most ingredients out of the 17 gets an advantage on the invention test, so let's take a look at the 17 ingredients that were in it: number one, saffron, number two, mint, number three, star anise. I didn't give the ace a star, but I had it in my mouth and was chewing on it, so it's a little embarrassing. Garlic number four. I'm really surprised that I have enough of the ingredients, number five shallots. leek number six, the seventh ingredient was celery and that was pretty evident on the porch, so I said yes, egg number eight, there were like these little white specks, so I knew it wasn't cream, it had to be egg number nine, olive oil, lemon number ten. at this point i have seven of the ten ingredients so i'm thinking about poop number eleven uzo jenny you didn't understand vincent i thought i must have read them and i didn't even read it and janie I know and I've done it oh my gosh you say you should being in love with something like broth number 12.

At this point, I have seven ingredients and I'm sure the others have chosen almost as well, so I think it will be like this. Fennel number 13 pretty tight when the judges get to their shellfish, they reveal the muscles first and I have muscles so I'm really happy with that number fifteen fungal snapper number sixteen number 17 so I actually got all the shellfish whole, that I'm I'm so happy for today's special mention, Jenny and Andre, you're our bottom two, the worst scores in the group. Jenny, you got nine, I know out of a possible 17. I don't know how I didn't do it right, I'm really upset and I'm embarrassed and Andre, you have eight, those of you who had snapper step up, so obviously the winner is from those people who picked the snapper, so I got a little angry. little for having made those who gathered fennel able to step forward as much as they can.

I keep thinking: why the hell can't I write fennel? Go one step further if you chose garlic. Garlic is such an important ingredient in good cooking. They love it, so I was a little embarrassed. We have a tie. They both got 12 out of a possible 17 ingredients, but we have to choose a winner and to do that we have a little surprise to test your food knowledge a little more, Chris. I'm going to lift the lid in a minute and you'll have to name the main ingredient. to this food, the first to name it wins today's challenge tom has a great palette I don't know if it could be either way what is the main ingredient of tara musa chris well done
