Video Summary
AI GeneratedSeven contestants compete in a visual identification challenge featuring 16 classic dishes. Participants must name the dishes by sight alone to avoid being sent to round two. While the first few dishes are easy, the difficulty increases, leading to the elimination of three contestants who will face a limited-pantry cook-off.
Round one, 16 cloches, 16 classic dishes.
One by one, we'll lift a cloche,
and then all of you simultaneously
will write down what that classic dish is.
I think I have a really broad knowledge base
about classic dishes.
Probably, you know, one of the best in the competition.
So hopefully I can pick all 16 of them.
The only way you can name it is visually.
You won't be able to eat it, sniff it,
do any of that type of stuff.
You got it?
I'm honestly a little bit concerned about Brent and Byron,
only based on experience.
You know, they're both quite modern cooks
and they may not be familiar with all the classics.
The first couple of dishes will be easy to identify.
Well, we hope so, but as we get down the line,
it'll get tougher and tougher.
If you're one of the first three people to get a dish wrong,
we'll be seeing you in round two.
Make sense?
Easy?
Well, yeah.
You ready to do this?
Yes.
What about you, Sarah?
What's your knowledge like on classic dishes?
I know quite a few, hopefully.
It just depends, you know, what cuisines and...
Remind us, what cuisines are your strength?
I love French and Indian.
OK.
What about you, Colin?
I think I've got a pretty good handle on classic dishes.
I might struggle a bit with spelling,
but other than that, I should go OK.
Due to the fact that I'm the worst speller on earth,
we won't be marking you down on the spelling, yeah?
Good news. Great.
Right, we're going to take you on a trip around the world
to see how good your food knowledge is.
If you find yourself in round two,
you'll only have the ingredients from the dishes
correctly identified by the seven of you to cook with.
Limited pantry.
Right, let's start.
We are looking for the recognisable name,
the main name by which each of these dishes are known.
Ready for dish number one?
This should be an easy one.
Colin, have a look.
Don't get too close.
Ding.
Very confident, not worried.
I think Byron's really struggling there.
I'm 99% sure, but I just can't believe
it could be something this simple.
Maybe I'm missing something.
Right, that's enough of a look.
This should be easy.
This is only round one.
Write down your answers, please.
Everybody ready?
All got answers?
Everyone correct?
I hope so, yeah.
Byron, what is it?
It's fairly carbonara.
All of you said carbonara?
You're all correct, you're all safe.
All right, dish two, you ready?
Yes.
Another easy one.
The hardest thing about guessing this is spelling it.
Everybody done?
Brent, what's the dish?
Tata tang.
Love your spelling of it.
I'm gonna spell it like that from now on.
Colin, what's your dish?
Tata tang.
Byron?
Tata tang.
How did you spell that?
T-A-R-T-T-A-T-A-N.
We're definitely not a group of spellers,
we're a group of cooks.
Congratulations, you're all still alive.
Time for dish number three.
This might throw one or two of you.
Do you know what this dish is?
You know what it is
and you can't get it out of your head?
I'll know it once you say it.
I'm starting to second guess myself.
I'm not sure I'm in two minds,
so I'm a little bit worried.
I don't wanna be the first into round two.
In fact, I don't wanna be in round two at all.
Brent, we're gonna need an answer.
Right, let's put Brent out of his misery
one way or the other.
Brent, reveal your answer.
Ossobuco, you think?
Interesting.
Byron, let's have a look at yours.
Not sure if it's spelled right, but...
Ossobuco as well.
Gee.
Amelia, what do you think the dish is?
Ossobuco.
Tracey?
Ossobuco.
Jamie?
Ossobuco.
Feeling a bit more confident now, Brent?
I feel a little bit better.
You've all said Ossobuco.
You are, of course, right.
All doing very nicely so far.
Does it get harder, Brent?
You betcha.
Byron, what would you love to see under the next cloche?
Something that I know.
Right, dish four.
Write down the name, please.
If you've ever been to a Thai restaurant
or been to Thailand, you're gonna guess that for sure.
All done?
Yeah.
How you going there, Colin?
Yeah, I'm struggling.
You got a couple of dishes in your head?
Or just one?
I've got a couple and that's the problem.
I know it's Thai.
I know it's noodles.
It's a bewilderment to me
that I can't write down what the thing is.
I just can't think of the name of the damn thing.
Colin, you're gonna need an answer.
Okay.
I don't wanna be the first person
to go through to round two.
It's the last thing I want.
Colin, two dishes in your head.
What did you finally decide to put down?
I just put Thai fried rice.
I just couldn't think of the name of it.
What'd you say, Sarah?
Pad Thai.
Amelia?
Pad Thai.
Jamie?
Pad Thai.
I'm sorry to say, Colin, you're wrong.
It's not Thai fried rice.
It is pad Thai.
I can't believe that he got it wrong.
I thought that this whole challenge
would be playing into Colin and my hands.
And the fact that Colin's gone out on the fourth dish
just puts that little bit of fear in me
that this isn't such a safe game.
So, Colin, you will be cooking in round two.
I'd like to take the position over there.
Now it's just a matter of who's gonna join you.
Now I'm really concerned about
who I'm gonna be up against in the second round.
All these guys are great cooks.
We are looking for three going to round two.
So, dish number five,
a real classic.
This is a huge relief.
It's a French dish.
So hopefully Sarah's gonna do okay on this one.
Jamie's straight back there.
Knows it straight away.
Meat is the same.
I'm feeling a little bit nervous now.
If I get this wrong, I'm gonna be straight into round two.
Just grab your head, Tracy.
I thought it was one thing,
and now looking at knowing what the protein is,
there's, it's, I've got it in there,
but I can't actually connect to the name of it.
And I'm really worried now.
Yeah.
It's not that.
My heart is in my mouth,
and I'm just trying to,
I'm trying to psychically channel something to her.
Just say, you know, Tracy, you know this.
I know that's completely wrong, but.
Tracy, what's the dish?
I've cooked a tauri, but I know it's not right.
Amelia, what do you think this dish is?
I think it's coq au vin.
Yeah.
Jamie, what do you think this dish is?
It's coq au vin.
Yeah.
Brent?
Coq au vin.
Sarah?
I didn't know it either.
No one expected that, especially Sarah.
For me, it is a complete bombshell.
Everyone's pretty gobsmacked.
Sometimes too much knowledge is a dangerous thing.
This dish is coq au vin.
Sarah and Tracy, I'm sorry to say,
you're both joining Colin in round two,
where you'll cook for your place in this competition.
I'm cooking against Sarah and Colin.
Not happy about this round.
