Welcome to LW Cooking, a community for discussing all things related to food and cooking! We want this to be a place for members to feel safe to discuss and share everything they love about the culinary arts. Please feel free to take part and help our community grow!

Taken a nice photo of your creation? We highly encourage sharing with our friends over at !foodporn@lemmy.world.

Posts in this community must be food/cooking related. Recipes for dishes you've made and post picture of are encouraged but are not a requirement. Posts of food you are enjoyed or just think like food are welcomed as well.

Posts can optionally be tagged. We would like the use and number of tags to grow organically. Feel free to use a tag that isn't listed if you think it makes sense to do so. We encourage using tags to help organize and make browsing easier, but you don't have to use them if you don't want to.

to preface: i cannot make food to save my life (i need to learn, i know). i have no idea if anything edible can be made from the provided ingredients.

this partly exists as a reminder to everyone complaining under FauxPseudo's last challenge post that you, too, can make posts here; it is not meant to be a slight against FauxPseudo, who's just trying to provide fun content for the community.

you are on the set of The Great British Bake Off, and have access to every appliance and utensil there. you're here to cook.

the time limit is 4 hours. after that, you must present what you have made to judges Paul Hollywood and Nigella Lawson, who will make fun of you if it's bad. (not actually. but pretend you had 4 hours to prepare this meal, and that i could afford the judges.)

your ingredients are:

  • a dozen bagels
  • 10 bars of dark chocolate
  • 17 chilli peppers
  • 15 mini babybel cheese snacks
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 3 boxes of pancake mix
  • a bag of tuna floss
  • a jug of milk
  • a bottle of rapeseed oil
  • a large block of pink salt
  • one strawberry.

all listed ingredients must be used to some degree, and you can't add any more. you're allowed to have leftovers as long as everything's used once.

i haven't provided exact measurements (partly because i'm writing this to procrastinate university work and don't have time for that) so please assume reasonable quantities for each.

what would you make?

Throw it in a blender until it's a creamy puree and deep fry it.

(reserve the rapeseed oil for frying, and only use just enough milk to keep it batter like... maybe don't use all the salt.)

Relax... you've just invented the worst state fair food ever (don't worry, it'll still sell.)
