- This taste like this.
Bland.
(lively music)
- Hey everyone, I'm Godfrey and I'm back
with another episode of Flavor of Love.
This time I've got with me Ehis.
- Boom. What's popping y'all?
Ehis here.
So excited to be here today.
- We have three lovely ladies who have each prepared
the dish of mac and cheese.
And your task today is to pick your favorite
and hopefully take one out on a date.
- So we're pretty now?
- A bunch of boom ting.
- On paper, Ehis, what is your type?
- Definitely someone who likes to just have fun
and explore and a foodie would be good.
- I think he's cute.
- That my flavor of love, man.
So I don't expect the love yet, but the flavor?
That's why we're here.
- Three ladies have prepped this food for you.
Let's get it out and get you eaten.
- Hi, I'm Berry and this is my mac and cheese.
In my mac and cheese, I put Red Leicester, mozzarella.
And then I've put mild cheddar.
Three cheeses.
I don't know why it's special
you know it's just mac and cheese.
What I'm gonna say to the person
I'm gonna say I'm looking forward to our date.
- Mm.
Okay. I smell the cheese.
- Mine was four.
- Wait what?
What's that face for?
- Leaning tower, but that's fine.
Penne for mac and cheese.
Very, very bold choice.
- Did you use macaroni? You didn't use macaroni?
- I didn't.
- I mean, I'm not gonna say the person cares
about presentation.
It'll be a bit embarrassing if the person's a chef.
I don't get chef from this.
- He's so rude. - Are you a chef?
- No.
- Don't mind if I do.
- What was said? What was said?
- I thoroughly enjoyed that.
Like, good balance of salt, which I like.
I don't think your mac and cheese should be giving,
you know, soy sauce, on-purpose seasoning.
Jerk seasoning.
You know, that's too much.
This sets the bar high for the other mac and cheeses.
I can't even lie.
- Pack your bags, I'm getting married tonight.
- The first time you're cooking for me, you serve me this.
I'm gonna be a bit like, oh
- He's so rude.
But he doesn't know what he wants.
He keeps talking about the...
- [Berry and Rhian] Presentation.
- He's confused. - Like, make up your mind.
- He's focused on the wrong thing.
Do you think I care how my food looks?
If the person looks like the...
(record scratchs)
Hm.
(Rhian gasps)
If the person looks like what the meal tastes like,
then we're off to a great start.
I'm expecting culinary genius from here upwards.
- He's going back for more.
Look at him, look at him.
After he was cussing it.
Although we finished on a good note
he liked it but he was talking too much trash.
He said that if I look like my mac...
- While he was scarfing it down!
- ...then it's not good.
But he went for seconds. - Seconds!
- I think he's confused.
- He confusing in life.
I feel like he can't cook.
He was talking too much.
That's coming from place of insecurity.
(all laugh)
(lively music)
- Hi, I'm Najah.
Today I've prepared a jerk shrimp, mac and cheese.
I've used four different types of cheeses.
I've presented it in a pepper
and I've given him an option to have it from a ramekin.
If he's got good taste in food
and he knows what good food is
then he'll know that I'm the winner.
- Okay, Jamie Oliver.
- I opened my eyes and this was not what I expected to see.
- Look at the presentation.
- Should we pack our bags?
- I don't even wanna touch it.
I don't wanna eat yet.
It looks too pretty.
- Oh, I think he likes it guys. You think he likes it?
- He does like it.
- I'm gobsmacked.
- Go you.
- This is someone that's going to care about me.
This is someone that's going to treat me with grace.
And you know what?
I love shrimp.
I really love seafood.
Throw me into the ocean.
I will eat Ariel and all her cousins.
(Najah giggles)
- Pack our bags! - Pack our bags and go.
- Mmm. This sound.
- What the hell is he gonna say?
(music discordantly stops)
- And this is a good learning lesson for all of us.
Sometimes things look a certain way
but they might just not be that.
And expectations in life
can sometimes really lead to disappointment.
- Wow.
- No, we're gonna beat him up!
Naj, don't worry.
- [Godfrey] Have another spoonful.
- How about you do that?
- No!
- It being in the pepper dried up the mac and cheese.
In the glass jar, it's not as dry.
It's got some sauce, you know.
- So how is it moist and it's dry.
- Yeah, that's true.
- Man is confused.
- This person clearly cares about image.
And that's not a bad thing.
I feel like this person could stress me out.
(Najah and Rhian gasps)
- Guys...
- Am I attracted to the person that made this dish?
I feel I'm just gonna say no.
- You're lost, bro.
- No, honestly. - Exactly. His loss.
- Me and this person could be great friends.
- Did he friend zone me?
- Flavor of love, not presentation of love.
- I feel slightly insulted and I feel
like his answers weren't really completely organic
because how can you start off by saying
oh it's really moist and
like showing us the sound that it makes...
- And then saying its dry.
- ...and then saying it's dry.
So pick a side.
After seeing his reaction,
I don't think I've got a chance of winning
but I also feel like he doesn't know what good food is.
- Mm.
(lively tropical music)
Hi, I'm Rhian.
So first thing, my mac and cheese is the four cheese mix,
onion salt, black pepper, mustard powder
and evaporated milk.
It's a macaroni pie
so it obviously derives from the Caribbean.
It's not the basic macaroni and cheese. So yeah.
So it should knock everyone else's out of the park.
What I want him to get out of tasting my food today
is for him to want more.
(crickets chirping)
- There's mac and then there's cheese.
Is this mac and cheese is a different question.
- He don't get girls.
- Yeah, you can tell with it.
- No, he can't get girls.
- Y'all tell me.
Does mac and cheese look happy to you?
Maybe 'cause it's just so compressed.
- Now that you've got something together, its a problem.
- He's just the big hater.
- What's the key word? Confusion.
- Yeah, that.
- That this mac and cheese looks a little upset.
School canteen lunch?
- Wow.
- I wanna say this person's probably middle class.
I'm so sorry.
You've never suffered a day in your life.
Given very much like prim, proper clean.
- His judgment of character is nuts.
- He's off. He's off.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- I didn't wanna spit it out 'cause that's so rude.
I'm so sorry. This is scary.
- No, he's so rude. He has no manners.
- And this is flavor of love, right?
I think I'm on the wrong show.
This taste like this.
Bland.
(Berry gasps)
- You said you don't want a bag of seasoning in there.
- Yeah, I said he likes when its simple.
- This mac and cheese reflects to me
that the person's good at following instructions.
'Cause I know for sure this was a quick Google
how to make mac and cheese.
It's bougie.
- I don't think that mac is bougie.
When you go to the Jamaican shop,
that's how it looks, you know.
- Thank you.
- From this presentation, I could predict the flavor
and even whilst I predicted it, I was still surprised
at the level of disappointment I was faced with.
- Why is he going in?
Like, let him continue.
No, let him continue.
- Does he know that he's gonna meet us?
- I am terrified.
We could be great friends.
I could teach you a few things.
- Who are you?
- You're not the prize.
- All I can do is laugh.
- Shouldn't taste like this. I'm so sorry.
- He's a confused, sassy.
He's continuously contradicting himself.
- He's so confused.
How do you go from... yeah, no, I can't even do it.
- Even feel you said that my food is leaning.
Then he said that her food is too strong.
What is it that you wanted?
- Oh, and prim and proper. Yes, I am prim and proper.
And there's nothing wrong with it.
- There's nothing wrong with a lady with class.
- I've never known someone who's so wrong about character.
(upbeat music)
- I think the best way to describe it,
it was a journey.
Dish number one.
I saw, I said whoop, I tasted, I said, okay, calm.
You know, I can get behind this.
Dish number two, I saw, I said, wow.
I was highly impressed. I was highly impressed.
I tasted it. I said, oh.
Dish number three, I saw, I tasted, and yeah.
It's time to face the music
and it's time for me to make my decision.
So let's go.
The dish in third place.
Let's not pretend it's dish number three.
It was just a lot
from what we saw to what we tasted well, not what we tasted.
The lack of what we got to taste.
It's just not something I would pursue.
(Ehis claps)
- What did I say?
He's gonna be pissed when he sees its this pretty girl.
- No, we're not even doing that.
- [Godfrey] Ooo.
(Najah and Berry laughs)
- I just wanna say, you are very confused as a person.
- All right.
- And I say that because you contradict yourself a lot.
The whole comments with like middle class
and not knowing if I've been through rough times;
never judge someone like that.
- I'm not double backing.
- Shh.
- Oh, I can't talk?
- No, because you did a lot of chatting.
- Yeah, I....
- Yeah. What, lost for words?
- Yes. I love how you did him.
- Do you know what? I can't lie.
I turn turned around, I opened my eyes and said (beep),
she's fine.
That's that.
It was just a shame that the macaroni pie wasn't.
In second place, we are going to have dish number two.
It's literally only a second.
'Cause I feel like if it just went with a little more flavor
like I said, I don't like my mac and cheese too, you know
too much seasoning and all that kind of stuff.
But it's still gotta, you know, give a little (Ehis slurps)
and it just didn't (Ehis slurps).
Okay, runner up.
- Your feedback was a bit confusing and misleading.
So I feel like from your side of things,
you're a bit confused.
Because you started off with, oh it's so moist
and then you took another bite
and you were like, oh, it's really dry.
You enjoyed it and love to have three bites, which is great.
But I didn't like the, "this should be a lesson for us".
That was a bit over the top, I think.
- You know what? I liked her, liked her vibe.
She's gorgeous.
And I felt like, you know, the vibes were there.
She got my sense of humor. I made her laugh.
She made me laugh.
So I'm thinking, should I have made her number one now
with hindsight?
I guess now it's time to meet our winner,
the person behind dish number one.
(Ehis gasps and claps)
(Berry laughs)
Would you look at that? Would you look at that?
- Okay. - I'm finished.
- Okay.
- No, we're not friends.
- Oh. Oh.
- I don't appreciate how he was talking about their food.
Even my food.
This person doesn't care about presentation.
What do you mean?
- He feels attacked.
- He should feel attacked.
- He should.
- Do you want it to lean or do you want it to be strong?
- I mean, there is in between.
- You wanna fight, you know? Because you're very rude.
- No, no. Hello, Buzzfeed. My security?
- I mean, I'm happy I won.
It feels good to have some reassurance
that your cooking is nice,
but I just can't get over his attitude.
When we cut the cameras,
we're really gonna tell him about himself, you know?
And I'm gonna try the other girls'.
I doubt is the way he said it was
- Can't lie. One thing about me.
I make a good choice. I am very, very happy.
I'm a smiley boy right now.
- [Godfrey] Are you going to exchange numbers?
- Yes.
- I need to think about it.
- Damn.
- I saw that coming.
- No. Do you know why?
- I'm listening.
- I feel like he's just gonna complain about everything.
- [Ehis] You think I complain about everything?
- [Berry] Yeah. You're gonna complain about everything.
I just can't.
You look like a fun time person though.
When we go, if we was go to a restaurant...
Oh, can you take my food back?
