TVTranscript
00:00On today's show...
00:02I don't got a clue, but I'm making a row.
00:05A dessert debacle.
00:07Oh, that's so bad.
00:08Mendacious mayhem.
00:10You tell two lies and one truth.
00:13How are we supposed to guess it if you're not playing the same game?
00:17He's on his own planet, isn't he?
00:21And duelling digits.
00:25I'd roast myself out with my own party activity tonight.
00:28As five foodies face off for a fabulous fortune.
00:40It's day four in Sheffield.
00:42The legendary stage for Tina Turner's last ever live show.
00:47What a way to bow out.
00:49And hoping to be simply the best is tonight's host,
00:52health science lecturer Lindsay.
00:54I'm really going to show my guests tonight
00:56how healthy food can be really tasty
00:59as well as being really nutritious.
01:01And I'm hoping to blow their socks off tonight.
01:03The bar was set by night two's smart and sophisticated host Sally.
01:08It really tastes like I've died and gone to heaven.
01:10Oh, thank you so much.
01:10Honestly, it's really nice.
01:12Even first to host Lizzie agrees.
01:15I know for a fact I'm definitely not being Sally.
01:17I've come to terms with that.
01:19It's fine.
01:19Her night was fantastic.
01:21While Leon's tropical night was more damp squib than carnival celebration.
01:25The food was really not that great.
01:30The soup tasted like it could have come out of a can.
01:33I would have preferred the carrots to be a bit softer
01:36and I could have done with them at more heat.
01:38No-nonsense nitpicker Ambrose was in its element.
01:41Air fry is not a traditional Jamaican kitchen appliance, though, is it?
01:46No, but it's the way you cook it.
01:48I thought you might have used a barbecue.
01:50He's like a little brother.
01:52He's always there.
01:53He's annoying.
01:54But I do get on with him.
01:55I like him.
01:56I would hate to lose to Ambrose.
01:58If I could think into the future and see the outcome,
02:01that's one thing I don't want to happen.
02:03Well, only time will tell.
02:05But Leon's dismal dinner secured a sorry second place with 24 points for now.
02:10So what's everyone expecting from Lindsay?
02:12Because she's our adopted mum of the group,
02:14she may be bringing us some comfort food, pub food vibes.
02:18I think Lindsay's food's going to be quite traditional.
02:21I can't imagine if she's going to do anything out of the ordinary,
02:23but I think what she does do will be done very well.
02:26In the kitchen, I'm very planned and prepared,
02:29so a lot of planning and preparation,
02:32and then it's all systems go.
02:34Yeah, like clockwork.
02:35You hope.
02:36First up, better beater carotene and coriander soup.
02:40Don't get it.
02:41No, I'm lost.
02:41It's lost on me.
02:43Better beater.
02:44Carrots.
02:45Definitely carrots.
02:46Beta carotene is an enzyme found in carrots,
02:49and it's a carrot and coriander soup.
02:51Bingo!
02:52Onions and spads are sizzled.
02:53All of my dishes have got lots of fresh vegetables in them,
02:57so therefore a lot of fibre.
02:59So at least my guests will be regular.
03:05I just hope we wait until we get home.
03:07That'll be a long journey.
03:09I'm not sure soup is the best way to go for a dinner party,
03:13especially if it's going to be a blended soup.
03:17I love carrot and coriander soup.
03:19I think it's lovely.
03:20I don't think you can go wrong with a soup.
03:21Carrots are one of my favourite vegetables.
03:23I love any homegrown fresh vegetable.
03:29Not that I've homegrown it.
03:30I should just like that.
03:32The mass-produced carrots are doused in stock,
03:35garlic, ginger and coriander, then left to simmer.
03:38I'm not a fan of coriander, full stop.
03:41It's just got that aftertaste.
03:43It just doesn't agree with me at all.
03:44It just physically makes me feel a little bit queasy.
03:47What I do want to know, can you just check,
03:49have I got any coriander on my teeth?
03:50Just a smidge.
03:52I'm wondering if Lindsay will blend hers
03:55rather than have kind of full bits of vegetables like Leon did.
03:59If she's going to blend it down, it's over-blended,
04:01and it's like a bit of a, what I call, baby food,
04:04then that's not on.
04:06Certainly puree territory.
04:10What's the verdict?
04:13That really tastes like carrot coriander soup.
04:17I'm so pleased.
04:19Marvellous!
04:19It'll be reheated this evening.
04:21On to the main.
04:22Essential salmon, prawn and sweet potato fish pie.
04:26Maybe that's just where she buys it in the supermarket,
04:28the essentials aisle.
04:30She's working to her budget.
04:32That's what fish pie is.
04:33It's a budget meal.
04:34Fish and seafood have lots of lovely essential fatty acids in them,
04:39really good for health,
04:40particularly combating neurodegenerative diseases.
04:46Less budget aisle, more brain science.
04:48Salmon and prawn is not a very conventional or popular combination.
04:55Salmon and prawns.
04:56Eh-eh.
04:57The eh-eh take a swift dairy dive and are in to poach.
05:02Topping time.
05:03How tough are these sweet potatoes?
05:05It's a good upper body workout.
05:07Do my schedules at the same time.
05:09Sorry, you're what now?
05:10That's an American phrase for your pelvic floor exercise.
05:13Noted.
05:16Women of a certain age need to do that, you know.
05:19Multitasking at its finest.
05:21I do like regular potatoes,
05:23but sweet potatoes can be a bit dry and a bit hard.
05:26These have been smashed to a pulp.
05:28I'm going to have bulging biceps after this.
05:31It's a full body workout today.
05:34Peppa's really good for the digestive system anyway,
05:36because it can significantly reduce your amount of flatulence.
05:39I could use some of that.
05:41Out comes the fish and in go capers,
05:44lemon juice, garlic powder and boiled eggs.
05:47And there's a prawns-only version for Lizzie.
05:49Not sure how everything will go together,
05:53but I trust Lindsay.
05:55I would trust her with my life,
05:56so I trust her with my dinner.
05:57She knows what she's doing.
05:59I've got a clue.
06:00Oh.
06:01That I'm making a row.
06:02Jolly good for you.
06:04Do you know what makes a sauce thicken up?
06:07Eh...
06:08No?
06:09OK.
06:09So the flour contains gluten protein molecules,
06:13and they need to...
06:17Mm...
06:17The pectin that is in there as well will take it off.
06:21Sorry, dropped off there for a second.
06:23Sauce slathered on.
06:25It's topped with tatties, cheese,
06:27and will be heated up this evening.
06:30Let's see what Pud has to offer.
06:32Organic apple pie.
06:33I'm excited.
06:34I love apple pie.
06:35No shop-work pastry.
06:37It's got to be made by her beautiful hands.
06:41Yes!
06:42For that, sugar and butter are beaten into submission.
06:46In goes an egg and flour.
06:47The recipe's telling me to add it a spoonful at a time
06:51and work it in gently with a wooden spoon,
06:54so this is where I'm going off-piste,
06:56so I'm just going to chuck it all in.
06:58There's only a grand at stake.
06:59This could come back to haunt me.
07:02Very possibly.
07:03The topping can't be too crumbly.
07:06It's not a crumble, it's pie.
07:08Wrapping cling film and chill for 45 minutes now.
07:11I'm not doing that.
07:11OK.
07:12Maybe you'd prefer crumble after all.
07:14Just tearing there.
07:16Ah, that's tearing.
07:17Right, what can I do with that?
07:19What can I use?
07:21New pastry?
07:22This is actually a pizza shovel, this.
07:26Nifty!
07:27I should have followed the method.
07:29Oh, look at the stake!
07:33Get in there, you b****!
07:34Oh, it's all going wrong!
07:37Oh, no!
07:39It serves me right for taking a risk, doesn't it?
07:42You said it!
07:43It's whacked in to blind bake.
07:45Organic apple pie.
07:47It's probably just me and she's got her own apple tree
07:49in her own garden.
07:50She's picked her own apples.
07:53She's picked her own apples, she's picked her own apples.
07:54This another one of your exercises?
07:58I can't reach them!
07:59Look to your right!
08:01Ah!
08:02That's better.
08:03You're welcome.
08:05I like the apple in an apple pie to be quite tangy.
08:09Not quite as sweet as a generic apple pie, maybe.
08:12The apples are drenched in sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon,
08:16and then simmered.
08:17I would expect that the apples will be cooked just al dente,
08:21so not mushy.
08:22Looks a bit mushy.
08:24Too much of the liquid,
08:26because it's just going to flow out, isn't it?
08:28Probably.
08:29Oh, that's so bad!
08:32Presentation's terrible!
08:33Bush it in the oven, and that's prep done.
08:36Right!
08:37Sorted!
08:38Think I've done enough to win?
08:40Fingers crossed.
08:41Off you, Pop!
08:42Dress code.
08:43Comfortable, casual.
08:45I am known to overdress for every occasion.
08:48I will try to tone it down tonight,
08:50but I don't think I will be very successful.
08:53This screams mum, though.
08:54She just wants everyone to just be themselves,
08:56be comfy.
08:57You know, you don't want anything that's, like,
08:59restricting the belly when you're eating her food.
09:01Overall, I think it's quite a safe menu.
09:04She could have pushed the boat out a little bit more.
09:06I don't think this is a win menu.
09:08I think she's going to have to work very hard
09:10and get it all perfect for it to even come close.
09:13Let's get ready to rock and roll.
09:16First to arrive, honorary son, Leon.
09:20Leon!
09:21Oh, my gosh.
09:23We meet again.
09:24Hello! Nice to see you.
09:26Give me a cheers, Leon.
09:27Nice to see you.
09:28Oh, gosh.
09:29There's definitely some berries in there.
09:32Delivering florals and fastidiousness,
09:34here's Ambrose.
09:35Hello, hello.
09:36Hello, Ambrose.
09:38Oh, and you.
09:40Confusing dinner party for pyjama party.
09:43It's Lizzie.
09:44Look at you.
09:45You look lovely.
09:46Can you hear my jammies?
09:47No, no, but what a lovely pair of jim jams.
09:51Very silky.
09:52They're my best.
09:52Oh, they're gorgeous.
09:53My best jammies.
09:54Just for you.
09:55Well done.
09:56And you, because you are a flower.
09:58I didn't imagine you were going to come in pyjamas.
10:00Don't own any.
10:01No.
10:02You don't own any pyjamas?
10:04Goodness me, is that the doorbell?
10:06Here's Sally.
10:07Cheers, everyone.
10:08Cheers.
10:09Another night of fun.
10:11Coming up.
10:13It's a whopper.
10:15Witty warfare.
10:16I think Lindsay could teach you how to make soup.
10:20I should have put you to the opposite ends of the table.
10:24And tentative tasting.
10:26OK, how about this?
10:27You can, like, suck it.
10:29Suck it?
10:30Yeah.
10:31Yeah.
10:32No, no.
10:33But I've tried it.
10:34He dipped his teeth into the prawn and then put it down.
10:37That's not tasting.
10:44It's the fourth night in Sheffield.
10:46Cheers, everyone.
10:47Cheers.
10:48Where lecturer Lindsay is out to win with a night of nutrient-packed nosh.
10:52Reminds me of those mud springs that you see on the wildlife programmes.
10:57Carrot and coriander swamp.
10:59I mean soup.
11:00Let's get this party started.
11:01Yes, please.
11:03I called this beta-beta-carotene.
11:06It's a play on words because there's beta-carotene in carrots, basically.
11:09So I'm really into nutrition and health and how it affects people.
11:14Does it taste better if you slurp it, Leon?
11:18I was slurping because it felt like I was drinking a milkshake.
11:21It's just a little bit off-putting.
11:23My nieces and nephews, like, when they were first born,
11:26which weren't that long ago,
11:28they used to have their food blended similar.
11:30I'm comparing Lindsay's soup to baby food.
11:35The texture was sloppy, all mushed together.
11:38It's not baby food.
11:40I did discover some stringy carrots in mine,
11:44so I have to say it was a bit of a letdown.
11:46Not generally a fan of soups or coriander,
11:49but I am actually really enjoying it.
11:52I think coriander's just...
11:53It's there, but it's not too strong.
11:55Not pleasant, a bit gloopy, too thick.
11:58A good flavour, though.
11:59There could have been a bit more going on flavour-wise,
12:03using more spices, that kind of thing.
12:05However, the consistency was exactly to my liking.
12:09I think Lindsay could teach you how to make soup.
12:11The gloves are off!
12:12Ooh!
12:14But I know you've got kids,
12:15so I know you're used to probably reminiscing about the baby food.
12:18I think I should have done a seating plan
12:20and put you two at opposite ends of the table.
12:24He is easy to wind up, but he has a good laugh,
12:27he's got a good sense of humour, and he plays along.
12:29I do an icebreaker every year with my students.
12:32Have you heard of the game To Troost and a Lie?
12:35Oh, yes.
12:36OK.
12:36OK, Sally.
12:37I'm an avid skier.
12:39I once appeared in an amateur production of The Barbaro Savi,
12:46and I used to be a goth.
12:48I think the production's a lie because I could see you skiing,
12:51and also I think it's quite common for Asian kids to do goth.
12:57I agree.
12:58OK.
12:59I'm going with it.
12:59I'm not a skier.
13:01Oh!
13:02Well done!
13:04I snowboard instead, so I was in the production, actually.
13:07Can you do some of that for us now, please?
13:11Sing opera?
13:11Yeah.
13:18Um...
13:18Like an honour, and you peel away these layers,
13:20and there's a new layer every night.
13:23I'm just like, that woman's amazing.
13:25Oh, yeah.
13:26Oh, yeah.
13:27Oh, yeah.
13:28Oh, yeah.
13:30Oh, yeah.
13:30Oh, yeah.
13:32Wow!
13:33Oh, my God!
13:35That's actually really impressive.
13:36You found it!
13:37Don't add any more to your repertoire.
13:39It's illegal!
13:40That was fab!
13:41I wasn't looking at anybody while I was singing,
13:44but I doubt they were surprised.
13:45My party trick is rather different.
13:48Come on, Leon.
13:49Two lies and one truth, Kate.
13:51No, two truths and a lie.
13:52Two truths and a lie.
13:53Two truths and a lie.
13:53I wasn't born in Sheffield.
13:55Oh.
13:56I was born in London.
13:57I also had a hole in my heart when I was younger.
13:59Mm.
14:00And my best friends are twins.
14:03Female twins.
14:04Well, I mean, having a hole in your heart when you're younger
14:06is actually quite common.
14:07Mm.
14:08Um...
14:08It's also known as the atrial septal defect.
14:11I think the atrial septal defect is definitely true,
14:15because not a lot of people know that phrase.
14:18That's definitely true.
14:19I think it's the twins.
14:21Yeah.
14:21I think he's lying about them being both female.
14:23That is not a lie.
14:25OK.
14:25The atrial septal defect, that's not true.
14:29Oh!
14:29So that's the lie.
14:30Really?
14:31OK.
14:31Why are you had us all?
14:32And I wasn't born in London, but my mum's from London.
14:36OK.
14:37OK.
14:37So you're told two lies and one.
14:39So it's two lies and a truth.
14:41Two lies and a truth.
14:42Hey, that's not true!
14:43How are we supposed to guess it if you're not playing the same game?
14:47Two lies and a truth.
14:50That's not the game.
14:51He's on his own planet, isn't he?
14:55I actually just explicitly reminded him that it is two truths
14:59and a lie, and he just explicitly ignored my instructions.
15:04Poor etiquette.
15:05And I don't like that.
15:07Masotta was quite well-received.
15:09Leon was probably the least enthusiastic about it.
15:13I say.
15:15So, Leon better behave himself.
15:17It's a whopper.
15:19The whopper is chopped and sautéed with asparagus.
15:22I forgot to put all of my fish in when I was making my fish pie,
15:25so I'm just going to put the extra underneath as I'm serving it.
15:29Call it a fishy foundation or a total mess.
15:32So succulent and sensual.
15:34Succulent and sensual salmon and prawn sweet potato fish pie
15:39and a prawn-only version for Lizzie.
15:42Tuck in.
15:43Enjoy.
15:45Because she portioned it out, not in front of us, I literally thought
15:50that it was kind of like a lasagna.
15:53The fish pie is so interesting.
15:55I don't think I've ever had prawns, sweet potato, eggs and capers
15:58all in one dish before.
16:01It's a Delia Smith thing, yeah.
16:04I don't like it.
16:05It's bizarre, isn't it? I really like it. It just worked.
16:08I personally think the egg's a little bit peculiar.
16:10I've never had an egg in a fish pie before.
16:13But overall, it's actually got quite a good flavour.
16:15The prawns were rubbery, the salmon was overcooked.
16:18But it didn't have a terrible flavour, just a funny texture.
16:21I don't know if I'm just easy to please, but I really enjoyed it.
16:26I'm not a big fan of salmon.
16:27OK.
16:28You like prawns, do you?
16:29Yeah.
16:30For me, haddock and cod are the only fish that should be eaten.
16:33Any other fish should be banned.
16:35Prawn keeps staring at me.
16:37OK.
16:38I'm vegetarian, the prawns are lovely.
16:40What if we never tried your chicken and we just pushed it to one side
16:43and said, I'm not eating that?
16:44OK, how about this?
16:45You, like, suck it.
16:47Suck it?
16:48Yeah.
16:48That's more of a light nibble.
16:50Yeah.
16:51Ooh, or not.
16:52Yeah.
16:53No, no.
16:54But I've tried it.
16:55Yeah, well done.
16:56Yes, well done, well done.
16:57Well done, Leon.
16:59Yeah.
16:59Well done, Leon.
17:01He dipped his teeth into the prawn and then put it down.
17:03That's not tasting.
17:05That's the closest I was coming and nobody was telling me differently.
17:08I feel like you've just been traumatised.
17:11I don't want you to get PTSD from tonight.
17:14Is that post-traumatic seafood disorder?
17:16Oh, my God!
17:18Oh, my God!
17:19Oh, my God!
17:20Well done!
17:21Ambrose is on top form tonight with his quips,
17:24with his, you know, dishing out the comments.
17:26I've spent a couple of days with you now,
17:29but it seems like forever.
17:31It certainly does.
17:33And I wanted to do something special.
17:35So I've written you a poem.
17:37Really?
17:38Oh, dear.
17:39Oh, my God!
17:41Roses are red, violets are blue.
17:44I didn't sign up to meet you, my mother.
17:49But then I met you.
17:51Now, with your laughs and your tips and your smirks,
17:56I feel like I can handle life, little jerks.
18:03I think he means you, Ambrose.
18:04It was so sweet, but also, what the heck is going on in that man's brain?
18:12I have been written poetry in the past by other males,
18:17but I was significantly younger, thinner and better looking than that.
18:21So, yeah.
18:23Yeah.
18:23Yeah.
18:24Still got it.
18:25Right.
18:26Time for dessert.
18:27Oh, my Lord.
18:29Feels like just a whole load of pastry, to be honest.
18:32Looks like it, too.
18:34It's terrible.
18:37Where's the apple gone?
18:39I'm going to add extra apple puree in there on the side.
18:42They'll never notice.
18:44Organic apple pie.
18:45Sadness.
18:49Yeah, words fail me.
18:50It is, like, literally the worst pastry I've ever done.
18:53Well, at least you made your own pastry.
18:58A bit of a letdown.
18:59No, that's an understatement.
19:01It was a disaster.
19:05I think I just envisaged, like, more chunky apples.
19:08I can feel the apple in the atmosphere.
19:11Can you taste the pastry?
19:13I wanted to taste those apples
19:15and at least see them for what they are.
19:18It was a mess.
19:19It did taste OK, though.
19:20Did you put any sugar in the apple filling?
19:24Golden caster sugar and some lemon juice.
19:27I think maybe next time you can, like, skip the lemon.
19:30The lemon.
19:31Yeah, they are already quite tart.
19:32Because it's tart, the acidity.
19:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:34I love it tart.
19:35Do you?
19:35And I think it complements the kind of sweet pastry really nicely.
19:39My pie went down like a fart in an astronaut's suit.
19:44Houston, we have a problem.
19:46This is a little clue to one of the bizarre random experiences
19:51of my past.
19:52I was basically runner-up at the World Toe Wrestling Championships.
19:56Oh!
19:57Well, I say one, two, three, four.
19:59I declare a toe walk.
20:02I wasn't aware that toe wrestling was a thing.
20:05Right, come on then.
20:06Let's go.
20:07How do you even find out that you're good at that?
20:10By wiggling those piggies in combat.
20:12I just hope I don't cut anyone.
20:13Holy moly!
20:15Jesus, Leon.
20:15The Skeletor won his feet back.
20:18Leon's toes.
20:21Absolutely horrific.
20:22I would happily pay for Leon to go get a pedicure.
20:26I think the world needs it.
20:29It's easier if your opponent's got a similar size foot.
20:33We're Team Henderson.
20:35Team Bigfeet.
20:37What?!
20:38Go, Dave!
20:40Poor Sally, but rather her than me.
20:43So, extend and you lock toes
20:46and try and force your opponent's foot over.
20:48Three, two, one.
20:51Toes away!
20:52Oh!
20:53Oh!
20:54Oh!
20:54I'm Roast in need.
21:00I don't think I've ever done something so weird in my life.
21:04Now for the talons.
21:06Don't flick a toe nail off.
21:07Hey!
21:08Toes away!
21:09Win it, Sally.
21:10Win it.
21:10Keep it away.
21:10Go on, Sally!
21:11Go on, Sally!
21:12Win!
21:14Yes!
21:15That's a win to Sally!
21:17Yay!
21:18She was quite strong.
21:20God!
21:20I'll have to train a bit more next time.
21:22I literally grossed myself out with my own party activity tonight.
21:27That makes two of us.
21:28Scores, please!
21:29Lindsay's food tonight was average, but overall she put in a lot of effort and had a great time.
21:33And for that, I score Lindsay an eight.
21:36Lindsay's food wasn't really to my taste, but I had a lot of fun with the group.
21:40So for that reason, I'm going to give it a six.
21:44The evening was scintillating.
21:46Lindsay's food was average, so I'm going to score her a seven.
21:51The general vibe of the night was super fun, and that's why I'm giving Lindsay a seven.
21:56Gaining Lindsay a toehold on the number two spot with 28 points.
22:01Next time.
22:02Oh, my God.
22:04He saved it for himself.
22:06Contentious questioning.
22:07I think you've already got it planted that you're going to win this.
22:09If he can't take it back, then he's going to be in trouble.
22:13And someone grabs a grand.
22:16Excited.
22:17That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right.
22:20I really love your tiger life.
22:22And that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat.
22:25I really love your Tiger Beat.
22:27I really love your Tiger Beat.
22:30Your Tiger Beat.
22:33Your Tiger Beat.
22:36Your Tiger Beat.
22:37Yeah.
22:39Look at nine.
22:40Yeah.
