- I don't know what to do.
- That's annoying!
- It looks terrible.
- We're hiding these!
(thud) - Ow!
- What is going on here?
- This is a joke.
- Where's the dish?
- This should be really obvious!
- Oh dear, oh dear.
- First "Pass it On" of the year.
- This has come around very quick, since the live shows
- New year, new Janice are you there?
- [Janice] Good evening, boys.
- Evening?
- [Janice] I'm partial to a movie night at home
in the winter months
and off the back of our recent cooking battle.
Today's theme is...
movie snacks.
- Movie snacks. - Vague...
- We just need to make nacho waffles then right?
- [Janice] The criteria is as follows;
It must be handheld.
It must be moreish, sweet or savoury or both.
And I need something to wash it down with too.
But go easy on the booze, Ben.
As no one likes to fall asleep mid-movie.
[All laugh]
- She's got your number.
- And do we know an order?
- [Janice] The order is based
on who watches the most films at home from most to least.
-Ooohh
- Films...
- From most to least, I'm not a film buff.
- I watch more films than I do TV shows.
- I reckon I'll be least.
- I think he's films.
What about me and you?
- I completed Disney Plus. (Baz laughs)
- I feel like I've completed Prime Video.
So who's bigger?
- Disney Plus.
Oooh I don't know. - I don't know.
- I always panic
whenever I realise the order I'm in
and then really it doesn't matter.
I'm still (beep), regardless of what I got.
- Alright, I'll leave you to it.
- Kind of interesting.
- Enjoy... - Enjoy!
- ...lights, camera, action. Am I right?
[All laugh]
- Clapper board.
- Okay.
I've never felt more confident.
I've got a head of brain wave.
My favourite thing when I'm gonna the cinema
it's nearly always, something sweet.
So I thought I'd take something savoury and make it sweet.
Sweet nachos.
Right, so...
...tortillas slice into nacho shape, into the oven, bake,
and then cover them in cinnamon sugar
and a little bit of oil...
Oh bit too much oil...
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
I do watch a lot of movies.
I do enjoy crap movies to sit there
and just waste the day away.
I'm not a movie buff.
I just like to absorb a lot of rubbish.
Into the oven.
Go, go, go...
They're gonna need just a couple of minutes.
So far, we've got ourselves cinnamon sugar and tortillas.
I'm hoping the guys come in and see what I'm going for
and go, "You know what?
We could do some sort of sweet-based chilli
to go on top of it as well
and then start cooking that.
Chilli has almost have like chocolate in it.
So just up the amount of chocolate and make it really sweet.
The maple syrup on the bacon,
works a treat.
Nachos is not complete
without guacamole.
So sweet guacamole, I think could be a thing.
It might already be a thing. It feels too obvious.
It's bright. It's green.
I've had avocado ice cream before and it's delicious.
So I'm basically gonna make that, but not freeze it.
Avocados are not super ripe
so let's just blitz them up instead.
I'm thinking...
is little bit of condensed milk going in as well.
I don't know this is gonna work.
How does that taste?
Weirdly satisfying.
It needs a little kick to it...
vanilla...
and pinch of salt.
Okay.
I need to rate myself
confident performance an eight.
Mike!
- Right? Okay.
Okay. What have we got?
What we got?
Condensed milk. Guacamole.
Nachos.
Okay, decent!
I call this...
a weird balance of sweet and savoury here, isn't it?
Is that good?
It's sweet.
It's not terrible.
Oh man, I've gotta do something with this
He's done a proper Barry.
Oh, I've got an idea.
I've got an idea. I've got an idea.
We need, we need to do a drink.
We need to do a drink.
This is a thing that we reviewed for Christmas.
It takes ages to cool down.
So I'm gonna see if I can get that going.
And we could probably make some sort of slushy cocktail.
So this is pure panic.
Just to get something up to temperature...
not even necessarily contributing to the dish.
Let's put this on back here.
Let's just get that it gettin' cold.
Right. Get a grip, Mike.
Let's have a look and see what's over there.
Well, this is not my comfort zone.
I'm not gonna do this.
You know, there's such things as sushi dogs?
What if you made an actual sushi dog?
So if I made some sushi rice and we put a hot dog
and like maybe some like crispy onions
or something inside the sushi rice and flavoured it...
that'd be amazing.
Oh, there's so much to do.
I've done too much.
I've done too much, everyone. I've done too much.
Rinse rice, rinse rice, rinse rice, rinse rice.
Is this a good idea?! - [Janice] Catch!
- It's a terrible idea.
- Oh no.
- [Janice] This is utter chaos.
- 250 grammes, 250 grammes.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
That's got to soak or rinse for ages.
So I know that we've got to do two to one vinegar to sugar.
Okay guys, we're going for it.
Get a lid on that. Bring it out to a boil.
Come on, come on, come on.
Heat, heat, heat, heat, heat.
Right? How are these getting on?
I think looking alright,
so let's get them out and let's toss them
in Barry's cinnamon sugar mix, bacony thing there.
They go with that.
Look, all of this as a dish is there.
Ebbers had a really good tip the other day,
which was that grenadine
gives everything a really good colour.
That was crazy.
I feel like I moved things along.
Stop things from burning and integrated a new angle,
which could ruin it all.
So I'm gonna go, six.
Jamie!
- Right. What've we got?
Why is that boiling so high?
That's not how you cook rice, is it?
Why are we using this?
Nachos.
Is that a really, stupidly, sweet guacamole?
Now I have, I have two options here.
I can either take everything that's here and go,
"Yeah, let's do the sushi
'cos that sounds like a great idea."
Or I can be truthful and go,
"This sounds like a terrible idea.
It's gonna look (beep)
and we should probably change tack."
Pre-rolled pizza dough.
I reckon let's scrap off the sushi.
I just don't see how that's gonna work.
Let's make pizza.
This looks like a ring cutter.
No, ring cutters are sharper than this.
Yep.
So, if I can get this cooking...
quite quickly.
Why are you laughing?
At least, this gives us options now.
- [Janice] What on earth is he doing now?
- No!
- No! Oh no, I have to try to figure out how to use this
as this is definitely right-handed...
Oh no!
Left handed! Look at that!
I haven't even looked for cheese yet.
I really hope we got some cheese.
Yeah. Let's make this interesting.
Some chilli jam.
Oh, I've got so many different favourite films
from classics to the new ones.
Top Gun will always be my one love
and Cocktail.
Mainly, I like Tom Cruise films.
Alright. I'll give Ebbers some clues of what he can do...
...this, this...
I think that'd be good.
Drink.
I hadn't affected anything else that was going on. In fact,
if anything, I've saved that sushi rice.
I have also provided us with another backup
and started the drink.
That's got to be worthy of a 9.23.
- Ebbers!
- What is this? Right? Where are we?
This feels like it's all over the place.
Oh God. Okay.
I like the nachos idea.
We haven't done nachos for awhile.
They're covered in sugar. So I'm guessing it's sweet.
As is, that is very sweet.
If we're going sweet, let's go sweet.
If in doubt, splash some wine into it.
This was never gonna be sushi.
There's no way we're doing sushi. That's so weird.
It's good movie night snack,
but not with everything else we've got going on.
So instead I'm gonna carry on cooking this out
and turn it into like a rice pudding
to put on the top of sweet nachos, a bit like a chilli,
and then we'll finish it with like the guac.
And therefore I need something fruity as well...
Like a mango there. We'll use that.
This is not gonna freeze
in the next seven and a half minutes.
So I need to come up with a drink option as well.
Janice,
have you got a couple of martini glasses
or maybe a bit of vermouth?
- [Janice] Oh, here we go again.
I know, Janice
you said not to boozy, but...
where's the harm in a little martini between friends.
I'm gonna make a quick fruity salsa.
Tell you what also would be nice...
desiccated coconut.
I'm gonna be honest.
I'm not much of a cinema kind of guy.
I've watched a couple of films at home occasionally,
but very, very rarely.
This sweet avocado mix,
which is kind of looks like guac, right?
Some tropical fruit in the form of mango.
Some desiccated coconut went into the thing,
then some crunchy coconut on top.
We know that fresh fruit with black pepper is delicious.
It's confusing,
but it's necessary...
as is a little bit of salt...
Confusing but so gonna work,
dish done.
These may just get there.
I'm not convinced or impressed by them.
Very simple. One part vermouth.
Three parts gin. One part, two part, three part.
One part, two part, three part.
Some plum wine for the fruitiness to keep that fruity theme,
lots of ice.
Sticking with our tropical theme,
Rambutan.
Wonderful sweet leftover
from a Tasty Tropical Fruit episode.
So nothing goes to waste...
a bit like a dirty martini,
you put an olive in.
Pretty much pure alcohol,
but swirled around with enough ice to take the edge off it.
And...
...in 10 seconds...
...for some reason
that's a Jamie contribution.
I can only imagine.
Frankfurter pizzas for the kids and the adult stuff for us.
That's when I say us, I mean, you, me, Janice.
7.8
- Alright. - You ready?
3, 2, 1...
- Well yeah!
- [Ebbers] Welcome to movie night.
- [Mike] Wow! Intrigue factor, tick.
- [Jamie] I'll have to ask you, what is it?
- [Ebbers] This is tropical sweet nachos
with a rambutan gin martini.
Make sure if you get one,
you get a little bit of everything.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
- What was the brief?
- Handheld, moreish, comforting, sweet or savoury...
and a drink please.
- [Mike] It's sweet and creamy.
Coconut-y?
- Coconut-y
- It's nice!
- And then the flavours work and the textures work.
I mean, it's not the best looker, is it?
But, I quite liked it.
- [Jamie] It needs to hit you around the face a bit more.
But I think if you were planning on making this,
maybe you would put more flavour into each of the elements,
knowing how they were gonna work together.
- There is a dimension missing
and as I was frantically plating up the drink,
I realised what I could have added,
which is like a little bit of pomegranate molasses
or something that 'cos it has that tang as well.
Because that's the bit that's missing, the tang.
- I've got that machine on,
'cos I was thinking cinema slushy, you know,
classic, classic.
So I got that cooling down. And then I thought, you know,
sushi dogs are a thing.
So I thought I'll do some sushi rice.
And I was thinking worst case is,
you could just slice them and have like tiny little rolls of
like sushi, but with the frankfurter in the middle.
- I've had two flaws with that.
And that's that you knew there was only 20 minutes remaining
and there was no way to cook and cool sushi
where I was to be able to do that.
And that we know that that takes 40 minutes.
So literally both things
were never gonna complete in "Pass it On."
- Your's a little bit slushy.
- I've got a tiny bit of slush.
- It's cold, that's for sure.
- It's cold.
It's quite nice.
- It tastes like, you know,
the last drips of a Calippo ice cream?
- Yeah.
- It's like concentrate, that.
- As a flavour combo,
that's a good one.
Okay, Mr. Terrible idea,
what did you contribute to this dish?
- Number one, I thought if we're gonna use that sushi rice,
it probably shouldn't be boiling away on number nine...
on the hob.
So I turned that right down.
- Well I left it...
- Look at that sassy position.
...coming up to a boil so that it would be boiling
when you came in.
- Oh, it was (beep) boiling off the charts.
- Well I did a great job then, didn't I?
- And I thought nachos, isn't actually a handheld food.
- Oh he is a (beep) today, isn't it?
Drink it through a straw.
- You don't use cutlery, do you?
- Well, it depends how you define handheld.
So I thought let's make something handheld.
Nachos are not handheld. You eat them with your hands,
but they are not in, of themselves, handheld.
- Comment down below. Is he right or wrong?
'Cos that sounds ridiculous.
- Jamie, have you done a first episode?
Juicy Lucy?
- Where is it?
- Oh, he has.
He's gonna make something completely.
- [Jamie] So I panicked.
Then I made some mini pizzas that we can hold in our hands
with frankfurters.
- You can't hold that in your hands.
- Of course you can hold that in your hands.
- How is that any different than that?
- It's the same thing!
- The same size!
- You made pizza nachos.
- Because it's gonna be on a plate before you pick it up.
You're not just gonna be on the sofa, are you?
- No, but also it wouldn't be pulled up
like pancakes, would it?
Usually.
- Oh gosh. There's amazing.
- So cheers!
- It's nice.
- And I thought it was a worthwhile backup
'cos we were making sushi nachos.
- We also didn't have the other part of the challenge,
which was a drink we could serve.
So in the last two minutes, I threw together
a classic that I know Janice loves.
- Uh- that is quite...
- I'm trying to put my face back but I can't.
[All laugh]
- I mean, if that's full of sugar,
that's just full of booze.
- And yeah, it's the classic martini.
It's the most fragrant paint stripper I've ever tasted.
- You really threw Janice's brief out the window there.
- I can light my breath
- Right come on then, scores and passes
- I'm rating myself an eight and I'm gonna give this dish...
a fail.
Because it is a new year
and I think we should up our game.
That is tasty,
but it's not delicious.
- So I just got myself a rather generous six
and it's tasty and it's something...
It's not a great pass...
but it's a pass, all the same.
- When I left the kitchen,
I could see no room for that.
And therefore my pizza was the dish pizza
and I'd made a drink.
And so therefore I gave myself a 9.23.
[All laugh] - Oh God!
So in terms of the final dish,
being handheld and the drink,
not being too boozy...
considering we were given options...
That is a fail.
- So I gave myself 7.8.
It works and it's for me something different.
It's a classic. You started with sweet nachos.
It's where it ended with the tropical twist.
It's a little boozy,
but if you have one, enjoy it for the course of the film.
- Drink that and then drive. Go on.
- No! I'm gonna drink that.
And then Netflix and chill with Janice.
- [Janice] No thank you, Ben.
- So it's not perfect,
but it is the right side of good, collectively.
So I'm saying pass.
- That went on a journey!
- Ooohh!
So it's inconclusive.
- Straight down the middle.
- That means it's gonna be up to you.
Is this a pass or fail comment down below? Let us know.
We're also gonna put a poll on Instagram.
I've just decided this.
We'll put a poll on Instagram, in our stories,
head over there now vote, pass or fail.
And we'll actually come to a conclusion.
- I mean it does what it says on the tin.
- Sorry.
- That fell in my shoe.
[All laugh]
