Week One (Boof)

Today, Boof was presented with his 5 ingredients, as chosen by Michal. His ingredients included 3 Dirty Potatoes, 1 Avocado, Pancake Mixture, a Tin of Milo and Feta Cheese. An interesting challenge and we shall see what he is able to come up with.

First, Boof washed and peeled two potatoes, then left them on the stove to boil. The last potato he washed, peeled and grated. He mixed the avocado and grated potato in a fry pan, with some oil, and fried it slowly.
Once the potato was semi-crispy, Boof combined the pancake mix, potato and avocado in a bowl, and then poured it into the frying pan. By this time to potatoes were done, and he mashed the potato up with some milk and a soup spoon of milo. However, he used too much milk, so put the whole mixture back on the stove to reduce it down to something resembling mashed potato.
He then put it all on a plate, with shaved fetta and rocket to garnish.

Boof's final dish consisted of a milo infused mashed potato with a lump of pancake mixed with avocado and potato, topped off with grated feta cheese and rocket. To be honest, the dish did look like someone had taken a shit, thrown up on it and then came all over it. But in saying that, it did encompass colour unlike Michal's dish and the appearance was surprisingly intriguing for clump of shit. Boof scored a 6 out of 10 for his Presentation. It was a mutual agreement that the creativity of this dish was phenomenal and he scored a 9 out of 10. Now, the interesting part... The pancake tasted pretty good, it was a nice mix of ingredients but the texture really let it down. The Milo Mashed Potatoes also had a strange texture, but one that was most welcoming to the palette. The taste of the potatoes however, confused both Boof and Michal. For taste, we believed that a 7 out of 10 was acceptable. This brings Boof's total for week one to 22.
