- Normally this room is cold, but I'm like heating up right now.
(both laugh)
- You made a mistake, but that's fine.
(Kenneth laughs)
- Oh, flavor cubes! - Flavor cubes!
- Today, we're doing a Try Not To Eat.
- Food Wars! - Or...
- Shokuge ki no Soma! (Jaime laughs)
- Oh no! (laughs) - Yes! (laughs)
- (PvF) What are we doing today? - Eating.
- (PvF) What are you gonna do when I tell you it's a Try Not To Eat?
- Eat it! (Kenneth sighs)
- It's just try to eat everything from Shokuge ki no Soma.
I don't even hear the word not right now.
- We gonna eat, we gonna eat. - We gonna eat!
- So we've done two episodes of this already,
and there's a ton of different foods in this show.
- You guys all have your favorites, and you're gonna be like
"what about this food?"
Well go back, it's probably on that one!
- (PvF) Are you ready to get started?
- Yeah! - Yes!
- It might happen after I start eating.
- Woah! - Stuff just starts coming off!
- I love him because of the fact that he does curry.
I love curry.
- Yeah, curry. - This is the curry one.
Thought so, starting off curry, starting off strong.
- Well, there's two different things it can be,
because they're in a competition right now.
- Right. - To make the best curry dish.
- Oh, an omelet!
- Oh!
- The inside just breaks with the aroma as he slices it open!
(both laugh)
- It's so over the top.
- This is how I see food.
- We'll never say it, even if it's good.
- I love the fact that Ed's talking to me like I have no idea
of anything of this show, but, given the fact that I've seen it once,
and he's watched it multiple times? It makes sense.
- I've seen this show, beginning to end,
I'm not even kidding you, 15 times.
- Woah. - It's so perfect!
- Soma's used his past mistakes from his mini souffle omelet,
to the apple risotto, to make this phenomenal curry.
- Risotto, that is it. No need to start.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
- (PvF) Jaime doesn't care about me talking.
- That's fair. (buzzer)
Well, nor should I.
- (PvF) This phenomenal curry risotto omurice,
that's just bursting with flavor from that sweet and savory mango chutney.
- Just go! - Just slice that into it.
- We already know, there you...
(PvF screams) Woah!
- Slice into it!
- I am going to cut clean into this,
just like they did in the show.
- I would like to see that.
- Hah! (Kenneth laughs)
- Woah! (Jaime laughs)
Wait!
- I'm not gonna eat. - You're not gonna?
- I'm not gonna pull a full Ed, like I'm not gonna not eat,
get the prize, and eat the punishment, but...
- Are you kidding me?
- I've actually never had a risotto before.
- This is literally one of the best dishes I've ever eaten in my life.
- Oh my God! (laughs) Same.
- No, I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding.
- No, literally the same.
- Mango is lovely, gorgeous, stunning, and very present.
- Everything you dreamed of?
- Yes, the sauce on here is phenomenal,
and it blends so well with the curry rice inside.
(Kenneth laughs) - Dude!
- I'm in Heaven already. - Probably, this is...
- It's the first dish, and I'm in Heaven already.
- This is why we switched.
- (PvF) What would you like to say to Soma about this dish?
- Girl, you need a wife?
(Kenneth laughs) - Do you see?
- I need to be left alone in a room with this.
- Woah, why's that table raising, Ed?
(both laugh)
- I'm gonna need this recipe.
- (PvF) All the recipes are actually published in the backs of the mangas.
- No, that just means that I have to get the mangas,
'cause I've only watched it, now I have to read it.
- I mean, I'm feeling a little... I'm feeling a little...
- Oh! (both laugh)
- Are we not talking about the fact
that he's already finished the entire dish?
(Sharon laughs)
- Yes, yes, yes!
- The wings, right? - He said, yep, it's the wings!
- Oh! - Ooh, the wings!
- Oh, woah! - Woah! (laughs)
- The chicken wing dumpling! (Sharon laughs)
- Dawg, it looks so good.
- With the Parmesan, and his special sweet and sour sauce!
- He makes a gyoza out of chicken skin.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
- Ugh! I get to try this!
- I love that they're just like eh.
Oh! (Kenneth laughs)
- See?
- The veins are popping out in his head.
Normally, this room is cold, but I'm like heating up right now.
(both laugh)
(Izzy screams) (Jaime gasps)
- No dude! - Woah.
- (PvF) Utilizing a Hanetsuki style gyoza,
Soma reinvents the stuffed chicken wing
with a savory filling, a Parmesan feather,
and a satsuma jidori sauce that'll leave you enchanted.
- I'm gonna dip this in, matter of fact, you know what?
I'm sorry. (buzzer)
I'm going in full hands. - Oh my God!
- 'Cause I need the cheese on it too.
I'm doing all of it all at once.
(buzzer)
- Oh my God!
- I can't, this is just happening.
(buzzer) Mmm.
- He's shaking!
(buzzer)
- Mmm!
- I'm so happy! (laughs)
- Girl!
- (both) Oh!
- This is what you normally say to me now.
It's just like how are you gonna not eat this?
This is so good. - Yeah!
- Today might be the best day I've ever lived.
- I feel like I should be naked on the show right now. (laughs)
Only for the people at home, is the only reason that my shirt's still on.
- And me!
- And you. (both laugh)
- For anybody who has ever said oh, I could just not eat it.
- Cannot. - You're lying to yourself.
- Mm-hmm. - Yes, slay, werk.
- Slay. - And that was a journey.
- This is the best thing I've ever... (laughs)
- It's so good. You're already done!?
(both laugh)
I haven't even gotten to my second wing yet!
- I have never been in a Try Not To Eat
with anyone who's been this excited to eat.
- If you could Shokugeki anyone, who would it be?
- It would be Chef Ash.
- (laughs) You would lose!
- So I would wanna challenge Rindo, because she uses like exotic meats.
She uses like ants, and crocodiles.
- (Sharon) Right.
- And all these different things in her food.
- I would personally battle Erina, not to win, 'cause I wouldn't,
but to taste her food, 'cause she's got the God tongue.
- Oh! - See what the God tongue do.
No, don't take that out of con... No.
- Chef Ash, I got you.
- (laughs) Yeah, I have full faith in you.
Not you. (laughs)
- Yeah, I was... - Not you!
(both gasp)
- Oh, the basket. - Oh!
- Oh, the rose cupcakes!
- The roses!
- Ooh!
Cute, cute, cute! - That's right!
- Oh! - Hm.
- Yes! (Kenneth laughs)
- This one's gonna be hard.
- 'Cause they have to use apples for it. - 'Cause I do,
you know, I love the pastries.
- If we don't explode into dresses, I'm gonna be so mad.
- I know, where are our dresses.
- I would put on that dress if you got it for me right now.
(Sharon laughs)
- God, this show is so good!
You did not give us the whole basket.
- Look at this thing! Look at this!
It's magnificent!
Look at the, I love the shimmer on there!
(buzzer)
- I like bread.
(buzzer) - She also likes bread.
- Made by Momo is her battle with Megumi
during the Rebels Vs. Central Regiment de Cuisine,
this stunning queen's apple tart,
scented with the aroma of Damask rose,
is blissfully sweet, and whoever eats it
will be transported into the land of fairy tale dreams.
- And usually, I'm not a dessert boy,
but also there's no way that I'm not gonna eat this.
I'm taking that one right there. It's looking real good.
- Mmm. (buzzer)
- Oh my, I mean, it's not a One Bite Challenge.
(laughs)
(buzzer)
- I'm not the biggest apple pie person.
- It's so elegant. So light.
- Happening! Dress!
- Dress! (laughs)
- Editors, clip it in, put me in a dress, put me in a dress!
Oh yeah, woah!
- (PvF) No, Sharon?
- I'm not gonna, come on, Nicole, you know me better than this.
- (PvF) Kenneth? - I don't know.
I'm not a big dessert person.
- You're already eating the punishment regardless.
- Yeah.
- Food Wars is like, the kind of episode,
or the shows that I would put on if I was eating,
or if I wanted to eat, it would help me with appetite.
(Ed mumbles) - They smell so good.
They smell, and they look absolutely beautiful.
- Mmm. - I'll abstain on this one.
- Mmm, okay. - Yeah.
- They are like a very solid level of sweet.
Like, they're not too sweet, like, I don't feel overwhelmed by it,
but it's definitely like (laughs) a sweet and elegant flavor,
or whatever he said.
- Then there's the rose... - The rose.
- Smell to it as well. - The rosewater smell.
- It's like spring.
- You made a mistake, but that's fine.
- (laughs) People make mistakes.
- It's true! That happens a lot on this channel.
(Kenneth laughs)
- Just the, oh.
- Furikake rice!
(Ed sighs) (Sharon laughs)
- Yeah, this was his first one.
- Oh, is this the egg ones? - I like furikake rice!
- The transforming furikake.
- Transforming dish.
He used his aspic of chicken, and it melts on the hot rice with egg,
and it transforms.
(Jaime gasps) - The flavor cubes!
- It's so magical! - Woah, woah!
- Aww!
- Look at how bouncy they make them look!
- And they're gonna melt in the rice,
and it's gonna be so delicious!
Ooh! (babbles) (Jaime babbles)
(Brian gasps) - Ooh!
You gotta make it yourself!
- Oh, flavor cubes! - Flavor cubes!
- That is some large pieces of aspic.
- (PvF) This Transforming Furikake Gohan was so incredible,
that it not only secured Soma his enrollment
at the Totsuki Culinary Academy,
but it'll intoxicate all your senses with just one bite.
- Let's get the jelly in!
- I'm not gonna do it too high,
'cause I don't want it falling out, but...
Ooh, never mind.
- (Sharon) Oh, only lost one!
- This is a lot of rice, I don't think I can finish this one.
(laughs)
- Cubes will melt.
- I gotta get that aspic melting on here.
(buzzer)
They're getting there, they're getting there,
but I don't know if I can wait for it to melt,
I just, I don't have time for this. - Go man!
(buzzer)
- Bro, it's melting in! - Is it?
- Full, for me. - It's so much smaller!
- Yeah, no, for me, it's full-on melted in.
- Ooh, flavor!
- You can taste like a little seaweed, miso.
- Do you want me to get you a shovel?
Or a vacuum attachment?
I think I might have a vacuum attachment in here.
- Mmm!
(buzzer)
- Yeah, it's about mixed in.
(buzzer)
That's good.
Woah, that goes off for a while!
- Bro!
- Okay, wow!
- The aspic, when it melts into it,
gives it a whole different flavor.
- Oh, I bet!
- Oh my God, dude.
- And the egg's like so soft,
and then the aspic just completely melts,
and that saltiness coats everything!
- I am so insanely happy.
- This is the most fun I've had on a Try Not To Eat
where I'm not eating!
- Chef Ash, reply in the comments, was this hard to make?
The flavor cube, is this like, are we like beginner?
- Is this something we can do? - Is this beginner-friendly?
- Like, it's actually like, you look at it,
it's like the pieces are already starting to melt off.
- So you know how I said I might not finish this?
- Uh, oh God. - It might've been a lie.
- Yep. - I'm very close.
- This is like the best day of my life.
- Oh, see, this is so fun. - It's like my birthday right now.
- This is so fun.
- If the Yukihira Restaurant were there,
I would literally be eating there every single day.
- (narrator) Soma is going to take the rice crackers...
- So he takes a snack. - Yeah.
- And he breaks it over this fish.
- Oh, is it just those like Japanese chips?
- Fry it up, throw it.
- And everyone tries to make this fish,
and they can't find any seasoning for it,
'cause they have to use what they can find on this mountain.
- Right, right, right.
- Ooh! - Yeah, dude.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So he steals the instructor's snack,
and breaks it up to use as a breading for this fish.
- Okay, woah, woah!
- Oh man!
- That looks absolutely beautiful. - (Sharon) Holy moley, that is beautiful.
- Woah, seaweed salad! - Woah!
- Little, whatever these... - I love sea grapes!
- That's what it is! - Ah, sea grapes!
(buzzer)
Mm-hmm. - Fun texture.
- (PvF) Can't sit down ever. - Very fun texture.
- (PvF) This innovative and improvised dish
of char okakiage, made with fresh river char,
is brought to life with a crispy deep-fried coating,
using kaki seeds, served with exotic sea vegetables
and a savory egg yolk dipping sauce.
- Let me dip it, hold on. (buzzer)
(laughs) (buzzer)
- Oh my God! What!?
(buzzer) - There it was!
- That is not the flavor I was expecting.
- I think I might need to use my hands for this,
'cause this is big.
- (PvF) You could use your chopsticks.
- No. - (PvF) Okay.
- (laughs) These are all hands.
- This is a hand job over here.
(both laugh)
- Snack that smiles back, Goldfish! - Ooh!
- I want you to know, I'm not even on set anymore.
I'm on another plane of existence.
- These are so crunchy!
- They're so crunchy, and so like, flaky and delicious,
and this fish inside is like perfect.
- I've never had anything like that.
Oh dude, most of these things we've had today,
I've never had anything like that before.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm not a fish girl, I don't really like fish that much.
Wow.
- The kaki no tane is shaped like little persimmon seeds,
which is why it's called a kaki no tane,
and it's like a soy sauce flavored rice cracker.
- Oh, okay. - A little small little...
- Shout out to Chef Ash in the kitchen,
for not only making these, but perfecting them.
- And you think you can beat her.
I just wanna throw that out.
- Oh, I still do!
- Brian, what did you say about me?
Did you say you wanted to throw hands with me?
I would love to.
- Sea caviar. - You gotta go, man.
- Mmm!
- You don't push it against your tongue,
with your tongue to the roof of your mouth?
That's the only caviar I choose to do. - Wait, before I finish chewing it.
- If there was a Shokugeki between me and you.
- Mm-hmm. - I'm winning it.
- I'm operating at half capacity here.
- Ooh! - Oh!
- So you don't even know my full potential.
- (PvF) That is it, that is our challenge.
(Ed whimpers)
- I'm actually shedding a tear right here. (laughs)
- (PvF) Congratulations Sharon!
You were able to avoid these delicious dishes,
and for that, we've got a winning dish.
- Oh, Ed!
- Waiting for this day, 'cause I got a Golden Ticket.
- ♪ 'Cause you got ♪ ♪ A Golden Ticket ♪
- ♪ 'Cause I got ♪ ♪ A Golden Ticket ♪
- Ooh! - Aww!
- I did it! - (Sharon) You won!
- Finally bringing out the Golden Ticket.
- (Sharon) Wow!
- So Nicole, I finally hand this over, back to you.
But I'm keeping the wrapping. (both laugh)
- Soma-Style Eggs Benedict Over Rice Fit For A Queen, Ed!
- Last... - Look at those tatas!
- The very last one of the BLUE episodes.
Season five. - Yep, dig in, baby!
- Oh, the final one. - (gasps) Oh yeah, dude.
The Benedict over rice.
- Oh, I'll be digging in.
- It's a Benedict over rice. - Yeah.
- Japanese style hollandaise, like they tell you
all of the ingredients that you're getting in these dishes
to be able to remake them.
- Crispy tempura egg!?
- A tempura egg, which, not easy to make. (laughs)
- And I cannot wait, because I've never had
an egg tempura like that before. - Well, yeah!
- Oh, I've always wanted to try this!
- Tempura egg, woah!
- And, you challenged that. (both laugh)
If Ash went and made that, I'd be like guys,
I think he lost!
- Oof. - Wow!
(Jaime gasps)
- (PvF) For our winners, from the final battle in BLUE,
we've got Soma's Egg Benedict Don Fit For A Queen,
that encapsulates everything he's ever learned.
- Mmm, the rice is good.
- Oh, look at that. Look at that!
- (Sharon) There you go! - Oh, you see that?
- The entire story starts and ends with eggs.
- Mmm, that egg.
- (PvF) Well, unfortunately, that's not for either of you.
- Yep, yeah, I noticed that.
- And the rice, just mixing it all up.
- I love a good hollandaise sauce.
- I mean, I got a pair of chopsticks somewhere around here.
- Hey look at that, a tempura egg,
and I did that.
You think you can do that?
They just heard you say that that's hard to do,
and I did it. (both laugh)
- I've literally never had an egg like this before.
- Mm-mm!
- I'm in such a happy place right now.
- (PvF) Unfortunately, Jaime, Izzy, Brian, and Kenneth,
you were all tempted, and for that...
(Kenneth sighs) Consequences.
- Honestly.
- I think we made the right decision today.
- The worst decision that I made was challenging Chef Ash.
(Kenneth laughs)
I knew it, yes! - Yeah.
- Seared mackerel with strawberry jam's great.
- Uh oh.
- Woah!
Thank you for adding the silver, it really brings it together.
- Soma has given Joichiro's terrible dish
of dried sardine with strawberry jam
a breakfast twist by serving up cured mackerel
with greens and strawberry jam.
- Is this bitter melon or something?
- (PvF) Yeah. - Yeah.
(Jaime laughs awkwardly)
- Why is it so wet? - It is very wet.
'Cause it's Chef Ash.
- (PvF) Eat the whole bitter melon.
- Okay, werk.
- Here we go. - Cheers.
Oh you...
- It's not even that bad. I like it.
- I think it's just your adrenaline.
(Ed laughs)
- All I taste is sardine. (laughs)
- I taste like, markers.
- Come on. - (PvF) What's happening with Kenneth?
- I'm so happy right now, this doesn't even phase me.
- (PvF) Have you had bitter melon?
- No. - (PvF) Oh.
- Oh wow, oh. - Simple answer, it's...
- Ugh! (both laugh)
- Simple answer, it's bitter.
- Well, that does it for today. (both laugh)
- Please don't make me go home!
- Ash, you've been making great dishes all day.
So when our Shokugeki happens, I cannot wait to beat you,
and then you get my punishment.
- I'm legit tearing.
- He is seriously, he is tearing up.
- My eyes are like teared up. I'm so happy right now.
(Brian laughs)
- Oh, she's back!
- You're on, Brian. You're on.
- Ooh! - Ooh.
- (PvF) Thank you guys so much for watching this episode.
Also, follow us on Instagram @PeopleVFood,

How's it taste?
(Ash moans)
(static crackles)
- It's not bad.
