Sonia winning, rating everybody low, while making one that everyone agrees isn’t even a pastel? I CALL UNFAIR SCORING PRACTICES! 😂

[@venus22118]

Tots! 😅

[@ishitadasgupta9048]

I wonder why such people are even on such videos.. repeatedly same attitude, the channel needs to get a grip on fair marking, else they will simply lose audience due to 1-2 people😅

[@theresacoe1210]

SONIA DISGUSTS ME!

[@LivingWithLanss]

She gave her reason for y she acted then how she did and I agree with her observations. I think she scored fair for her own tastes

[@S04P]

Technically, even if she gave everyone a fair score like 8, she still would’ve won. The scores would be 19, 20, and 21 if she gave 8 instead of 3, 3, and 2. If she gave a 10 to each, the last one would be the only one to match her score. Hers got 23 so I guess it was tasty despite it not being the correct dish. I do think she judges too harshly.

[@hannahashley2882]

Please bring back having them blindfolded and trying their own too!

maybeee

[@notke6207]

@@buzzfeedUK no, no not maybe. Do it bc we want fair ratings or we’ll just watch coco and not buzz feed

[@charliep9066]

@@buzzfeedUK Not maybe - it's NECESSARY. It's at least one way to prevent the cheating that Sonia does EVERY time. It's not fair if you keep doing it this way. The other option is to have one of the producers as "unbiased" judge to offset the unfair contestants - this will help a bit, but not as much as blindfolds. The simplest solution is to stop casting unfair contestants. It doesn't make the video enjoyable when there's bad apples in the bunch.

[@clarewhite3004]

The problem is, if they do it again, the contestants will know that one is theirs and they'll be looking for their own to rate it highly. It was hilarious when they did it the first time though. Truly brilliant.

I've watched the other videos and i simply hate her attitude

[@HunniRoze]

Honesty, I think she was fair this time. I Understood her ratings this time. She explained what wasn’t doing well and I personally could tell what she was explaining was evident. I tried to calculate what if she scored around 6-8, she would have still won.

Danda is the one I like the most because she is constructive with her criticism and fair. Sonia purposely marks everyone else lower so that she can win. And what she made was NOT a real pastel!!!!

[@pauloph4]

I agree with you but about it not being a pastel, liked the other woman said in some regions of Brazil that is also considered a pastel, so I understand why maybe she confused the dishes.

They have to change this rating system it is so stupid. She only gave 8 points in total while the other 3 gave 23, 17 and 19 points. Of course she is going to win easily then.

[@pauloph4]

@@geovaneassisramos1365 You are from the south and there people have their own culture, but it doesn't mean the other regions of Brazil are equal. She didn't invented that in her head, probably her family or someone like that taught her that is a pastel. Brazil is a big country and independent if the real name is risole it's very normal in each region/city people call it other names. Ex: in my city this also know as a pastel.

[@SAYZLEE]

Sonia’s win was not fair. She did not make pastel. Her reasoning at the end was that she makes it “differently”. Yeah - a totally different dish lol. That’s like bringing a hamburger to a sloppy Joe contest.

You guys should do pastels from around the world. Trinidad has pastelles, which are made with cornmeal and steamed in banana leaf.

[@rsv8506]

Can't believe the winner is the one that didn't make an actual pastel. I've never seen a pastel that looks like that in my life, and it looked soggy too. I knew something weird was coming when she complained about the first one breaking too easily and being "dry". I would hope!

Waw. In Indonesia we also have pastel and risoles and the concept is the same: fried dough with fillings. Kind of caught me off guard haha.

[@ritamartins1262]

I think it might be borrowed from the Portuguese but I am not sure. Like for example words such as bendera (PT: bandeira), mentega (PT:Manteiga). But when it comes to food sometimes it's hard to track its origins because we each have our own versions of some dishes. And better for me because more we have to eat hahaha

I am always surprised when I see Trinidadian foods done differently in other countries we have pastels but only for Christmas and it's a combination of sweet and savory fruit and meat and the wrap is made out of cornmeal.

[@nabilahsudarto3707]

You know in indonesia there’s also a snack called pastel

[@NightOwl_30]

Sonia's pastel IS a pastel. It's just a different type. I used to eat Sonia's type of pastel growing up and the dough is similar to the coxinha dough. The other type is also a pastel we eat with sugar cane juice.

[@johnmorales806]

The Japanese perfected it in Brazil. I’m glad we have second largest population out of Japan. And Lebanon.

All those hating Sonia most probably haven't watched the other episodes of Brazilian Mums try. That being said, it seems like no one can seem to dislike anything nowadays? Can't people just express their own taste and preference without being attacked? I honestly thought Sonia was being quite neutral compared to some other moms from other countries who just downright hates the world XD

Is a pastel an empanada or beef patty in other places?

[@oneilliamason9183]

It somewhat looks like a patty but I wouldn't call it a patty because they fry it, and patties are not fry.

[@oietchau162]

We have an empanada version of it called "oven pastel", but they're not the same, i believe even the dough is different.

[@marktylan5053]

The “pastel” dough is kinda skinny and also tastes “lighter” in a way, once you try it, you’ll know haha. The filling(s) is what makes it more special! We love when there’s a lot of fillings

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

It's definitely an empanada. That is the thing about cooking around the world; most places have the same things, but use different seasonings and have different names.

I'm not certain for other countries but in T&T, it's made with cornmeal and filled with minced meat (pork, chicken etc.)
