to preface: i cannot make food to save my life (i need to learn, i know). i have no idea if anything edible can be made from the provided ingredients.
this partly exists as a reminder to everyone complaining under FauxPseudo’s last challenge post that you, too, can make posts here; it is not meant to be a slight against FauxPseudo, who’s just trying to provide fun content for the community.
you are on the set of The Great British Bake Off, and have access to every appliance and utensil there. you’re here to cook.
the time limit is 4 hours. after that, you must present what you have made to judges Paul Hollywood and Nigella Lawson, who will make fun of you if it’s bad. (not actually. but pretend you had 4 hours to prepare this meal, and that i could afford the judges.)
your ingredients are:
- a dozen bagels
- 10 bars of dark chocolate
- 17 chilli peppers
- 15 mini babybel cheese snacks
- 8 egg yolks
- 3 boxes of pancake mix
- a bag of tuna floss
- a jug of milk
- a bottle of rapeseed oil
- a large block of pink salt
- one strawberry.
all listed ingredients must be used to some degree, and you can’t add any more. you’re allowed to have leftovers as long as everything’s used once.
i haven’t provided exact measurements (partly because i’m writing this to procrastinate university work and don’t have time for that) so please assume reasonable quantities for each.
what would you make?
Am I allowed to make two dishes?
Roast some of the chilis, make a puree, add it to the melted dark chocolate and strain. Slice some of the bagels into chips and toast. Enrobe the toasted bagel chips in the chili chocolate. Top each one with a thin slice of strawberry.
With the remaining babybels, egg yolks, milk, pancake mix, tuna floss, and salt, make some kind of tuna melt fritter fried in the rapeseed oil.
Going all out. Nice.
