BUDGET Recipe Relay Challenge | Pass It On S1 E5 | Sorted Food

Ben absolutely loses his mind at the thought of using quails eggs in a budget challenge...so of course we decided to use quails eggs in a budget challenge. And somehow we actually did quite well!
Taste wise at least...
Presentation could do with some work...

[@Bryan_K_27435]

I'll use the quail eggs and the chorizo base to make a shakshuka dish of sorts, toss in the grilled stuff for colour and throw some herbs on top and call it a day LOL, best you could ever do to plate a stew. Texture and taste's all there, just needs some colour to brighten it up, got 2 out of 3 main food colours - only missing the green which some herbs will do the job just fine.

I was kinda hoping Ben would ask if he would return the eggs.

[@Fyreflier]

I love his family-style solution to it but I'd have chopped those charred peppers and stirred them and the corn into the stew just before plating, gone with a big earthenware bowl to serve it in and crumbled the proscuitto over the top, and put that bowl on a bigger plate with chunks of crusty bread smothered in butter (to use up that last £1.50ish and stew+bread to soak up sauce once the chunky bits are eaten is class)

[@artypyrec4186]

No idea what he wanted with the quail eggs. Did he want them fried, hard boiled, scrambled? They really didnt feel needed.

[@gladtobeangry]

I'm going to deduct James at least a full 4 points for adding quail's eggs which famously taste just like normal eggs, and are famously an ingredient primarily used by pretentious folk to make stuff look more posh, without it actually adding anything in terms of actual flavours. Ben said it right: that was just silly. If that had been Barry, okay, we'd get a whole cute family of failed little fluffy quail's cloud eggs to mock, fun for the video. James is a trained chef.

[@YourXavier]

Whatever the others might say, at least Jamie _tried_ to do something with the quail's eggs. Everybody else just passed the buck until there's was no time left.

[@Opinionatedbastard]

James said he wanted them poached not fried or boiled so he had no way did what James wanted

[@HAlC-up4hm]

Another Pass It On idea: Every pot, pan, utensil and ingredient is earned by each guy answering trivia questions before hand. Instead of being limited by budget you're limited by correct answers. You could even go more Jeopardy! and have different topics/categories which earn different elements of the dish. One category only earns time, another ingredients, pots, etc. rather than simple points.

Short summary: James: we have a small budget....lets use the most expensive ingredients!!!! Mike: I am too afraid to do anything!!!!!! Barry:I actually did something (except for only leaving with the stove on) Ben: I am a Chef! I know what I am doing!!!! Jamie: I am confused, let's touch the hot water!

[@DinoSarma]

I don't think Mike dropped the ball, I think that's his own anxiety talking. Having the sense to bring in cheap ingredients that will bulk out the recipe (really james? you blew the budget on enough food to carry one person) and stretch it out to feed four people. Honestly, even though James got a little silly with the quail's eggs AND prosciutto, he set them up with a solid base to start from. I loved Ben's take on "Hi. This is a budget challenge. Why are we wasting food!?", and then cranking through like a boss and making a second side dish.

[@TomDufall]

While I think the quail eggs were a mistake, I do agree with James' point that it was cooking within a budget rather than a budget meal. £15 to feed 5 people isn't very budget constrained, there's definitely room for some extras.

'Budget' - James immediately goes for quails eggs and prosciutto ham. Does he know what budget means?

[@betaich]

The prosciutto is forgiveable, have a fancy ingredient in there that elevates the flavour of nearly everything, but the quails eggs is really strange. I had them before in various forms and they don't really taste different than normal eggs and they are expensive, at least when you don't have quails like my parents had.

Ben was best - by far. Vinegar was a cheap but super important addition, pepper added freshness, barely any money spent but flavour saved. Mike was ok, though in these: always check the oven!!!, Barry was passable, though the tomatoes were a good buy at least, Jamie was ok, he didn't have a lot of wiggle room - I'd have added a bit of fresh in the end but the eggs were just a loose-loose-situation he was put in, James was aweful. Spending two thirds of the budget in the first quarter on mostly expensive ingredients, wasting stuff, and just generally buying quails eggs - stupid. (In general but especially in a budget challenge.) James was worst by at least as much as Ben was best.

[@kaik7366]

Should have been a very FRESH salsa, fried tortillas, more herbs to it... The vinegar was definitely a good call, and the mix of chorizo and prosciutto; while very ODD; looked as though it would work quite well together.

Myself I am poor and dont have money to buy food 1 day a week and that day live on medical drinks I take 3 meals a day normally....abd Qual ( those eggs) eggs are not within budget. For a family with 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 teens you ll only have 2 euro per person for diner to spent.That s including stuff to drink besides coffe,Tea or tapwater.And that s including something after diner like a bowl of yoghurt plain or with some sugar .Total for 4 people 8 euro.I can t do this meal for 8 euro.So nope...this could be a diner on a budget for special occasions.And yep the way it was served is as it would ve been served. Love that you all tried to make one.

[@MrAranton]

Well the challenge was to keep this meal under 15 pounds, not to be as cheap as possible. And it is possible to include expensive ingredients and still keep it under a certain price threshold; which they managed to do. Still, in my book quail's eggs are a bit of a pretentious ingredient; in most resepects they're too similar to chicken eggs that - unless it's about presentation - they're not really worth bothering with, let alone paying extra to get them. And picking them in the context of this challenge didn't make a lot of sense, because it a) ate up a significant part of the budget which restricted what ingredients the others could add and b) left the others wondering what to do with them.

James goes next because he can build on that foundation and begin to really give it some flair. Jamie goes in the middle so he can babysit the food, will have a good idea about what's already cooking so he doesn't start anything too random, and he can start to prep any sides he thinks will go with it. Ben goes next to continue/finish the side dish, maybe start a sauce and do all the garnishes and seasonings and little things that round out the dish. Barry goes last because he's really good with making things look good so he should be in charge of plating up, and he doesn't have to think about new things to do. Any other combo is pretty entertaining too but this one is my personal favourite.

you guys are absolutely amazing. I have been watching for about a year. your dynamic and comedy, interlaced with with cooking tips, tricks etc is truly amazing. i love how true and raw the videos are left. You are all incredible friends and it is wonderful to witness.

[@land9834]

Another pass it on? It’s an instant like from me

[@MK-er8df]

l andi I was thinking the exact same thing lol

[@sachienkrishna6551]

Yayayayayayayayayay pass it on is my favourite

[@TheHui]

Barry’s reaction when he said “JAAAMMIEE” sounded like he was so disappointed at the final dish and as if he contributed so much to it. All he did was char a bit of corn and bought some tinned tomatoes to add into a pan lol.

[@emilysal]

Ben is the king 😍

[@jessicakorman8105]

1st- Ben - brought some things together and added depth of flavor. 2nd- Jaime - he was right. He worked with what he had. 3rd- Barry - added the tomatoes to make it stewy. 4th- Mike - did very simple, but helpful things. Didn't think to look in the oven though😂 5th- James- I'm sorry, but I'm with Ben on this... even though you started things strong with prosciutto and chorizo, you knew you wanted a hash, and in what world do quail's eggs go with a hash. Chef. 😋😂

[@williamseo2725]

Guess we know why James lost the first budget battle.

[@bcaye]

Jamie-pulled all the elements together even if not in a real presentation. Barry-didn't fuck up. Ben-was Ben. Mike-well done. James-too cheffy. Love you guys and this series, next do fried chicken dinner American style and the dishes that go with it, without reseatch.

[@kai44478]

Best. Series. Ever. It would be fun to see normal, normal, chef, normal, chef. I like the added conversation at the end. As part of that conversation, it would be fun to hear what each person thought as they went into the kitchen and what they tried to do.

[@emonorwid]

Vegetarian/vegan relay next??

[@randomdogdog]

it's a great idea, but James' hatred of meat substitutes is likely to lean into something like roasted carrots with mushroom duxelles and beetroot foam. One cannot live on beetroot foam alone.

[@C_Bat]

Jamie would be doing well, wouldn't he?

[@carrieullrich5059]

No meat substitutes allowed.

[@SayYesToTacos1217]

James hates meat substitute? Is he vegetarian or vegan? Cause unless you don’t eat meat, your opinion on vegetarian substitutes is kind of unnecessary... you don’t need or understand the alternatives until real meat isn’t an option for you.

[@Kaelajin96]

Great concept for pass it on!! Budget recipe...I love it already!

[@zevia3874]

Love these pass it on videos you guys are so much fun to watch. And love how different all your thought processes are

[@altroxx]

I actually thought Jamie did a good job by just plating the dish 😂

[@marcuswhitfield3608]

You thought wrong

[@naeemalmohtaseb2871]

Yaaaaay pass it on!!! I love you guys for listening to us

[@peritrott7333]

those flavours sound beautiful... but... QUAIL'S EGGS?! Mike... CHECK THE OVEN DUDE!! I think everyone added to this recipe, some in their own special way (Jamie/ Barry) but Ben totally saved this one.

[@nutellalatte7522]

2:41 if that is not the most adorable interaction ever, then sue me!

[@barbarasmith4043]

Sorry James. I know you're a wonderful cook, but bc of the Quails eggs you don't deserve a 7-8; that score goes to Ben for pulling the dish(es) all together. & Jamie certainly deserves better than a 4, considering what he had to work with.

[@dpchiko17]

I feel bad for Jamie :( I give him a 10

[@SyAccursed]

Ben: "This is a like a one pot stew" He says having just transferred from one pan to another...

[@RARamsay]

I am so excited by Pass It On videos. And even more excited that you guys actually seem to be getting better at them. I'd actually really love seeing you guys do a video where you just figure out techniques for the next pass it on video. Like the first person ordering things by cook time, or compiling a list of dishes that fit mostly in the timeframe you have in case you can't quite figure out the big picture so want to add a side. Even if it were just you all sitting around a table trying to review where things went wrong in previous ones. I'm already excited for the next Pass It On. Keep it up!

[@Yangager]

Oooh, these are now some of my favorite SORTEDfood videos. I really want you guys to do more of these, PLEASE!

[@andrineslife]

Who doesn't like plating? Ah yes, lets let Jamie go last 😂

[@attiasprouse682]

I would have done the same thing Jamie did. Also, he does better when he’s last. Well done, all!

[@abbystevens5693]

I would ve done that too.That s how a spaghetti bolognese with tight budget is done in our house.

[@benrinehart7776]

This was great! I thoroughly enjoyed the video, you all worked together pretty well, and the final dish, while not elegant, was delicious! Can't wait for the next one!

[@canelavanillaice]

Jamie frying the little quail eggs cracked me up! I felt like I was watching an episode of tiny kitchen.
