Chance Cube Cuisine Challenge: 5 Dishes From the Same Randomly Picked Ingredients

- Let's try a different kind of creative recipe challenge - instead of the limitation of a monetary budget, the ingredients for this one will be decided by rolling dice* (So I suppose the 'budget' is choice?)

*Afterthoughts & Addenda*
*HP Fruity is not brown sauce!!!* - Yes it is. Go here and read the first line of text: www.hpsauce.co.uk/product/100118200002/hp-fruity
*Which pen did I use in this video?* - one of these: www.pilotpen.co.uk/en/v-sign-pen-fineliner-marker-pen-medium-tip.html?master_product_id=888
*My citrus juicer* is one of these: www.google.com/search?q=simplex+II+citrus+juicer
*Apps & websites* - there are services you can use where you enter the ingredients you have an it tells you what you could make. I would consider those out of bounds for this exercise.
For everyone thats interested in the pens: Yes, they are godly. Big Clive had them and they looked very nice so I bought a set. They weren't cheap (but they are not really made for writing longer texts) but _they are insanely pleasant_ to write with
I wouldn't say it is. HP don't own the definition of brown sauce. But then again neither do I!
If it had not said 'brown sauce' on the label of the bottle, I would have chosen something else. Interestingly some of the other dozen or so brands and recipes on that shelf are also milder and more fruity than HP.
It's brown. It's a sauce. Not "original recipe" but it's brown sauce as far as I'm concerned. ALSO! HP is a very well known brown sauce brand, it's hardly surprising that they have more than one variety.
I think if there is anything that is remotely close to an authority on the classification of 'Brown Sauce', it's got to be HP. HP Sauce is, as far as reliable records show, the earliest brown sauce recipe.
First the bombay mix, and now the gummy bears. May I propose a challenge where you're only allowed to use pre-prepared 'snack' foods as ingredients?
That would be wild but so fun to watch
Ooohh love this idea
Fantaaastic idea!
That Bombay mix was absolutely king
I like this idea!
"The best blackberries are always just out of reach". A metaphor for life if ever I heard one.
I spent half an hour contemplating a Heath Robinson inspired device for harvesting the blackberries that were behind the fence. Then decided to only collect blackberries when accompanied by inspector Gadget.
My favourite thing about Atomic Shrimp food challenges is no matter what the constraints, he presents it in such an approachable way that it's impossible to watch and not immediately want to go out and try it too.
He makes me want to try new and possibly weird combinations. Currently have an only half working kitchen but once I'm moving I'll go back to just going wild with cooking. I've found some of my favorite foods that way.
Exactly. Like the patience he shows is amazing
He has made me want to open weird cans and keep weird emails closed. I love him
I'm working on an Atomic Shrimp Bingo board. "Residual Heat" is absolutely on there.
And that's after I edited a few instances out!
Ohhh, thats a great idea!
Hemlock water dropwort?
“The kind of personal information you never give to strangers on the internet”
jack by the hedge
Eggs as protein feel like the best possible result, as you can easily incorporate them in both savory and sweet dishes
I was just thinking rice & fried egg is a perfectly good and simple breakfast.
Absolutely. Eggs are just so versatile. Same with rice. You can absolutely do sweet dishes with it
I was really looking forward to a nice flan, too.
Also if beaten and mixed with the cauliflower, then baked or fried, makes for a very delicious addition.
@@GSTsenpai What? The gummi bears?
What I was mostly impressed by was Mr Shrimp's new found ability to smell time. I'd think that was very useful for someone who enjoys long walks. "Smells like 4pm, time to head home."
very interesting. if it is a measurable skill it might have something to do with humidity and temperature changes and how those affect the environment. maybe for the same reason we can smell rain
He definitely has a very refined sense but some differences are relatively easy for many I think. Like the difference in smell between noon and midnight. It may not be as observable in areas with less plants, that tend to open and close with the light and release aromas
I'm quite sure I made this comment in reference to something Mr Shrimp said regarding the herb called thyme. But interesting replies.
@Paul Pollock I got the tyme joke, but i totally decide when I have to walk my dog when I work in the garden because the plant start to smell like the night is comming.
The gummy bears dissolving in the hot water reminds me of the transience of being.
Deep!
Form is fleeting, we will be goo again
“Maybe I’m insufficiently fussy” - should be the tagline for some of the things you come up with in this series!
How about a compendium of challenge recipes? "The Insufficiently Fussy Cookbook"...😁
LOL
@@kimvibk9242 LOL
Should be on some merch
"Would that be a bad thing to add in here? I think it's something that people will hate..."
*abruptly adds gummy bears*
"What a delicious looking gummy bear it must be pear or melon-"
*"FRUIT"*
Lmao
See, I think it's probably pineapple!
I love the tasting of the gummy bears, and the only flavour you can identify is "fruit." hahahah
Hopefully, you'll start a new food trend: Gummi Bears food enhancers. Imagine chicken stock, lemon concentrate, vanilla, and many others in Gummi Bear form. Giant ones with food pieces where you add boiling water and you have soup.
I like that idea a lot
Gummy bear shaped instant soup is bound to be an instant hit with young schoolchildren.
2 issues for my idea: kids eating those raw (or a tick-tock trend), and low conservation time.
Sounds a bit like portable soup, which i heard about on the townsends yt channel. Basically demi glace cooked down all the way until it essentially became beef gummies. It then had an insane shelf life and could be prepared just by dissolving in hot water. Fell out of favor with the rise of bouillon cubes though.
Have you ever soaked a gummy bear overnight in a glass of water?
I must congratulate you for once again undertaking a food challenge and actually achieving a variety of meals with flavour; some others would just produce the blandest of foods and basic meals
This feels a bit like the spirit of the cooking competition/reality show “Chopped.” It’s always interesting to watch someone who knows their way around the kitchen thinking on their feet and using ingredients in creative ways.
Take away the time constraint, relax the competitive part a lot, and *yes*. It's freaking beautiful.
"It's something people will hate"
Oh, he's definitely adding them now 😆
Great video as usual! I always look forward to Fridays.
Yeeeessss!!!!!!
LOL
laughed my ass off when he added them
I saw this comment just as I got to that part and I giggled like a child.
"Its something... that people will hate." *proceeds to put them in* I laughed so hard for this! :D
Meanwhile I was talking to my computer screen.. "Oh for God sake.. just throw them in already... Let the haters hate..."
*Addenda & Afterthoughts*
It didn't occur to me to mention in the video that there are websites where you can select the ingredients you have, and they will return recipes containing those things. Obviously I would consider those to be out of bounds for a challenge like this, but if you want to find some resources like this, try www.google.com/search?q=website+that+tells+you+what+to+cook+based+on+ingredients+you+have
Suet would be a close match to replace beef dripping.
Wow you googled for us, thanks
Why not try once putting a few vote options or just one for a test to let your viewer base decide on one ingredient and then roll the rest or whatever is picked in the roll is removed as if you have limited food in your cupboard working your way down to the last options might be an interesting challenge for your creativity.
I prefer this, it's dicier
Ghee instead of Beef Dripping would be a good idea.
The fat I'm about to mention is hard to come by on the spur of the moment, but it would be a taste challenge to use it if you must: cocoa butter. It would be a nasty substitute for beef fat, but the next time you roll the dice, I want you to be a little scared, and if the number you roll forces cocoa butter on you, rise to the challenge!
To make that happen, of course, cocoa butter would have to be in stock.
Please make this a regular series, I absolutely love watching what you come up with!
The dessert jelly is very impressive - goes to show you know your gastronomy well
I dont understand why people dont use the thick stalks from cauliflower and brocolli, or the hearts from cabbage! They are some of my favourite raw vegetables!
They can sometimes be a bit too woody, but there’s no reason to not use them if they aren’t woody.
I actually have to agree with the heart of the brocolli.
Very crisp
cabbage hearts are the best pan fried with pickle juice
Broccoli or cauliflower stalks and celeriac root cooked down with coconut milk, puréed through a sieve to get rid of fibers, some tomato puree, gram masala and tumric is the best hearty soup ever
These were always the bits my siblings and I would squabble over when Mama was cutting vegetables. To score a raw cabbage core to munch on was a big deal!
It starts innocently enough rolling for ingredients, and the next thing you know AS will go full Dice Man.
I feel like a good replacement for beef dripping while still keeping the spirit of meat based fat would be either cubes of pancetta or just straight up bacon grease
Yeah, I was thinking maybe something that must be rendered, like speck or raw pork rinds or something
Laaaaaaaaaard
Could maybe have Bacon as an option in the meat section and have a caveat that if that comes up it automatically goes in as fat choice as well.
@@AtomicShrimp Schmaltz would be fun!
My immediate thought was also "Shmaltz"!
I would definitely like to see this challenge again, or a similar one that is based on creativity rather than budget.
"I think it will be something people will hate." *plop* hahahaha! I love it. Thanks for another great video!
I tried to make a soup out of only ingredients that don't normally belong in soup. Potato chips (crisps) wound up being the main ingredient but I used a slightly spicy variety and somehow it made the soup very spicy.
Liquids (especially when warm) seem to carry spice _very_ well.
@@Ultracity6060 Interesting. I kinda believe it but I don't know why.
That sounds SO good!
@@shivwesker4171 Lol, it wasn't terrible but I thought maybe it could be better in the hands of a more seasoned cook.
I'd love to see you do a no fridge challenge lasting at least 3 days. Without refrigeration you're limited in what you can prepare ahead of time.
I have spent many months without electricity during different seasons of my life, and there are lots of different tips and tricks you can use, from an expensive but brilliant “butter bell” to a cheap “bowl of water and a damp linen towel”.
I’m fairly certain it wouldn’t be much of a hinderance to Mr Shrimp, despite him living at the other end of England.
I love this challenge, perhaps even more than the £1 challenge. When you have an unlimited quantity of gummy bears, you can use just the yellow bears if that gives the best taste, without sacrificing caloric requirements. This competition is just as relevant for people on a budget (none of the ingredients were extravagant here, and any ingredient could have reasonably been part of a £1 challenge), but does a better job emphasizing creativity, as you said. This also shifts the creative thinking from “what ingredients do I need to buy to make a nutritious and tasty meal” to “how can I use the ingredients I already have”. Also more relevant for people on a budget, even when the cost of the ingredients totals more than £1.
I also like how this format gives you more time (potentially several days) to think of interesting dishes, rather than rushing that creative thinking to the duration of your grocery shopping trip.
I’d like to see both types of videos in the future, but perhaps a bit more of this type (or perhaps what can I cook using only the ingredients in my pantry) since we haven’t seen as much of this in the past.
I’d also love to see a challenge where you get access to your entire spice cabinet (or maybe 5+ spices), which will give you more possibilities to combine spices to create complex, every day dishes we find in countries closer to the equator.
Regarding the topic of this beeing a good exercise: It`s actually the way I learned cooking (My mother never liked to cook and when it was not on the back of a powder packet she wouldn`t cook it. Still appreciate that she cooked almost every day despite hating it) when I moved out I basically just bought whatever seemed like I could like it and experimented in my kitchen until I found combinations that I liked and then started preparing the same things in kinda different ways. Ate some really really bad food for a quarter year, but then it got way better and now I am arguably the best cook in the circle of my family and friends next to my father in law who actually had a similar approach.
Mr. Shrimp: “We can’t put gummy bears in everything.”
The chat: “Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...”
I absolutely love your channel. I presume you must be a Chel as you know so much. Keep it up . Take care from south africa
Butter the best fat.
What great idea to get those creative juices flowing, I try to use whatever I have hanging around but always end up with similar dishes I am sure I'll take some inspiration from this video
You should make this a regular thing a few times a year. Say every item that is used gets removed from the list and a new item is added, just to keep things interesting. One of the more entertaining food related videos I've seen from you.
I love how cursed these dishes are yet they show tons of creativity, you can cook tons of good food but making something from genuine creativity rather than straight from a cookbook is what makes a real chef
I always love the shopping music, goes so well with it.
Very enjoyable, the fried rice is a good inspiration for trying out variations. It's 2 in the morning and I'm hungry.
I am always impressed to see what you come up with. When I was a teenager, up to the point I moved out of my parents house at the age of 18, I would cook a lot of meals with nothing but canned foods. I would almost always have toast or rice with every meal. My favorite was a potato and mixed veg stew. The recipe is.
1. Two cans potatos
2. One can mixed veg
3. One can stewed tomatos
4. Peper to taste
5. Galic powder to taste
6. Butter or oil for frying
7. Spam or some kind of canned meat.
8. Optional Cheese
In a pot put cubed spam and fry in butter or oil until brown. Then add two cans of drained potatoes and fry them for a few minutes to cook out some of the water. Add the mixed veg (drained) and stewed tomatoes with liquid. Garlic powder and pepper to taste. Mix a few times until it is wormed through. Put on top of rice or toast. If I had cheese I would add that on top also. I preferred pepper jack and sharp cheddar.
I’ve said it before and I’m certain I’ll say it again, I bloody love this channel.
I often use dice to choose a meal or ingredients. If there's more than six choices, I have a collection of polyhedral dice going up to 30 sides. I also have a D120 somewhere.
I would love to see another one of these. It's inspired my husband and I to have a dice directed dinner party, which I think our role-playing friends won't find too weird. For extra difficulty, I don't eat meat or poultry.
I didn't cook, but I did play along in so much as I paused when you had the ingredients and thought what I would do with them. Here is what I came up with:
Breakfast: sweet omelette with blackberry compote and like you had the idea of using gummy bears as sweetener
Lunch: mushroom and rice soup followed by pea omelette
Dinner: Cauliflower, pea and mushroom curry, with brown sauce as flavour, with rice, followed by rice 'pudding' with orange cooked with thyme, so similar to your breakfast
Thought your jelly was inspired and the rest looked great. I really appreciate how you think outside the box in these challenges and it definitely inspires me to be creative in cooking. Thank you.
I watched the latest Keef Cooks video immediately before yours, and he was doing ‘Indian’ Scotch eggs. And apparently if you lay the eggs horizontally to store them, the yolks will centre themselves.
Everyday is a school day.
Or if you store them pointy end down, they'll also have more centred yolks.
Great Tip , Duly Noted 👍
Yes, the rule is pointy end down . Somehow the air pocket in the egg makes it work.
Do you flip the hen to have them laid horizontally?
Okay, What would I make out of the given ingredients? Let me think for a moment...
Breakfast:
Fried rice with peas and scrambled egg. I'd try Brown Sauce with it.
Lunch:
Cauliflower steaks with thyme as apetizer
For main course I'd try to boil up some curry from the curry powder, dried mushrooms, beef drippings, orange and maybe peas again. Served over rice and mybe garnished with a waxy boiled egg.
Dinner:
Either leftovercurry again.
Or if that doesn't count I'd cook a broth from dried mushrooms and whatever veggie I feel like, as well as beef dripping and maybe a sprinkle of thyme. I'd also try to crispy fry some rice and then cook it in the broth.
And for dessert there's jelly from molten gummy bears with blackberries submerged in them.
You are one of the most creative person on this platform.
one of your best challenge videos i really hope to see these more
This may be my favourite episode of this series yet, great concept, amazing execution.
Always love the food challenges, you use a lot of creativity when creating the dishes.
My father in law gave me a wonderful cauliflower from his garden, my wife and kids hate it so I ate it a few ways on my own. Its brilliant stuff, I even bbqd it. awesome
Shrimp, I love your honesty in critiquing your own concoctions in challenges such as this; and equally love your audible delight when a creation works! Might have to try the orange fried cabbage for myself!
8 months later watching this for the 2nd time i really enjoyed this really hoping you'll do another chance cube challenge maybe sooner than later thanks mr shrimp
Genius! Literally the best word to describe you!
Another excellent video, Mr. Shrimp! If I may say so, due to the impossibility of making a list where every ingredient works with every other ingredient, perhaps if you did this again, you'd allow yourself one re-roll. This is common in tabletop roleplaying games that rely on the dice as much as this challenge did, and it very often helps a result that lacks verisimilitude; I believe it would serve the same purpose here. Many of the dishes you came up with looked quite appetizing and I suppose I should go eat lunch now that you've made me good and hungry. Cheers!
Alternatively, you could roll the dice all at once, and have to assign a die to each choice (as before, the two dice for vegetables have to be different numbers, and likewise for fruit). In this version there is no reroll because you have more choice after the dice are rolled.
@@ragnkja that would be really interesting
I prefer my desert jellies on the thick side, so your preparation on that one is spot on for me.
this video earned my thumbs up when
"i think it's something that people will hate"
*put it in anyway*
Just rewatched this with my wife. She loves the concept, we would really enjoy another one of these episodes!
Oh Mike, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I’ve been feeling really down for a few days, due to yet another relapse and then mild depression from not having any contact with people.
But from the minute I hear the music, I start to cheer up, knowing I’ll be absorbed into another world where I can go exploring while stuck at home or in bed.
And then, when you announced the rules of the game, I smiled for the first time in days! And all the way through, I laughed out loud because of little things you said - and the slightly naughty thumbing your nose at other people’s petty rules.
The rice porridge looked good and I wondered if you could have cooked it with more water till quite saucy then stirred in an egg yolk for protein. But I must say the Buffalo Shrimp Cauliflower Bites were brilliant.
Another satisfied customer and looking forward to seeing you play this game again - I’d watch one at least once a week, please. (Well done Jenny for putting up with all this - we do appreciate it!)
I'm a role player and I now have to do this. I see a weekend away with a bunch of friends making crazy meals :)
I would watch a video of that if you made one 😆
"Rolling for protein" sounds like the start of a very strange RPG campaign.
“I think it’s something people will hate.”
*silently drops them in*
Good stuff sir
I've learned so much from your videos, even from these amazingly awesome random and shaken up challenges/videos thank you for being the greatest TH-camr 😂☺️
35:46 an attempt at omurice could've been interesting 😁😁
These videos have a lot of rewatchability. Another great video
Yes this is a challenge series I could watch forever. I think once it's been rolled you take it off the list but then start adding more exotic/foreign (still acquirable) ingredients. Loved it.
I love these foods challenge videos so much, this one was particularly impressive, I'm really impressed with the ideas you come up with from the ingredients you end up with, it's seriously impressive. Looking forward to the next food challenge and any of your next videos quite honestly!
You're so creative with your meals in these challenges! I feel like I would have just made a giant pot of fried rice out of all of this lol. Admirable creativity, always fun to watch.
26:06 with that pause before dumping the lemon gummy bears in the pot. Absolutely. Hilarious.
I'd love to see another one like this, but with a bunch of frozen and shelf stable meals and snacks as the random ingredients. Stuff like beef jerky, Mac and cheese, frozen garlic bread, trail mix, a gas station sandwich, French fries, ramen noodles, and of course, Bombay mix and gummy bears.
I love love ghee, especially with the Himalayan sea salt, regular olive oil, and avocado oil.
No onion flavor (onion or chives)? That would actually kill me. Onion brings soooo much flavor!
Yeah, it would have been nice to have some sort of onion in there
Thank you! Did you hear me hollering at you " Do it! Just Do It!!", from across the pond, regarding adding lemon gummes to your mushroom rice? 😆
Your definately one of the clever men who managed to grow up and remembered to continue to not to take life to seriously and to never lose the hunger for having fun and playing🙏
I must say that I’m very impressed with your MacGyvering of the ingredients you ended up with. I loved your willingness to add gummiebears to everything that needed sweetness 😄
Sure, coconut fat might be a good replacement for the candle stuff, but keep in mind that absolutely everything will taste very tropical.
we need a sequel to this. i love the randomness. Maybe do one where there's a series of youtube polls to pick the ingredients? one poll per category? the community could be nice and give you things that go together, or be cheeky and give you nothing at all that goes together. ( just don't put vanilla extract as one of the seasonings, that will get all the votes.)
Radom ingredients !!!
(At 50yrs old trying to think up a change
in the menu at home has been A quandary at times over the yrs)
You just made it so fun!
Thank you for the inspiration.
🎉
Have you thought of continuing the challenge with dropping the choices already made and then rolling again for the next combination of the remaining ones?
Great video! Very creative as always and might inspire me to have a go at home!
I would definitely have an allium category (onion, garlic, leek, spring onion, shallot, chive) as there's a lot of variety there and it just gives another dimension to the challenge. Also, conveniently, there are 6!
Love this challenge!! Super fun to watch. Your shopping/cooking challenges on my absolute favorite!!
I LOVE your videos, no fancy editing just good wholesome content that always puts a smile on my face! I wish there were more channels like this!
Hey man! Those fried califlour remind me a lot of what my grandmother makes. She will bread it like a pork chop and pan fry it. It’s amazing and addictive.
This was such a surprising challenge - thank you! For the "sweet things" category, marmalade could be fun? and dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate? Tofu as one of the protein choices?
I absolutely LOVE these cube cuisine vids!!! You did darn well Mike!
9 months late but I really enjoy these types of challenges.
4 min into the video and I'd like to play along. I think that I'm going to try this challenge myself.
The sticky barbecue cauliflower look almost like hot wings! I like it
Maybe I'll try something similar to get back my passion for cooking
You should do these challenges more often! I really enjoyed this video.
I will be listening to this to fall asleep and then rewatching later to see what I missed.
Love the variety on the channel. The limited budget food ones are my favourites though :)
Really great channel. Keep it up. Great mix of entertainment and informative
Your inventiveness with these challenges would give Heston a run for his money!
Loved this. Should keep it going as a series because it's so random and enjoyable. Your creativity is amazing. Keep up the good work. Love x
Are Gummy Bears the new Bombay Mix ? ;D
Great video, I always love these.
I was really hoping you'd get beef dripping and gummy bears!!! Maybe I should go and buy a lottery scratch-card!
Did you win?
@@sovietbot6708 Haha no! I think my luck deserted me after the gummy bears! 🤬
it's like your very own version of chopped, without an arbitrary time limit! what a great idea.
We need another one of these
Excellent video. I hope you make this a mini series
"mm what flavour is tha-"
*" f r u i t "*
I love these videos! I'm immensely impressed by your creativity. I could've never come up with all those dishes and combinations. Great!
Please do more of the dice dining videos. I really enjoyed this one
This was VERY interesting! The main takeaway for me is that I learned how to cook with gummy bears! 😂
