You have roasted barley, an orange bell pepper and a well-stocked pantry. What are you making?

This is a hard mode challenge.

    No you’re not!

    “The collective term for the things in your kitchen shelves, cabinets, fridge, freezer and and spice rack.” Your words! That’s everything in the house man!

    You literally cited anything and everything and later spelled that out. Look, just stop this shit and rephrase the question!

    It’s not hard to say “okay make biscuits, but without buttermilk”…

    Versus “make anything from your pantry, cupboards, shelves, spice rack, home or storage…but without buttermilk”

    Can you not understand the difference? I could make a steak with your question, it’s not a challenge by the very nature of your own words.

    Also do you not get a vibe from the sheer failure of a challenge this is? How many good recipes have you got in the comments, compared to folks reacting with… “what the fuck is so weird with this?”

      “You literally cited anything and everything”

      I used phrases like “a well stocked pantry.” “Things you might have on hand.” And the contents of your kitchen.

      At no time did I explicitly or implicitly state everything or anything.

      This isn’t about the excepts. This is about the featured ingredients plus whatever you happen to normally have around. Do you normally have buttermilk? Is buttermilk easy enough for you to get? Use it. This isn’t “cook a specific thing without some key ingredient.” This is use what’s here with the regular stuff you keep around.

      You want steak? How would you make steak with barley? That’s the challenge.

      I got more people actually telling what they would make than people complaining.

      Quick scan of the starting comment threads Number of people that offered up what they would make: 17 Number of others with questions/complaints: 6 One question about the cutting board. One question about the color of the pepper.

      It seems the majority had no trouble.

        How would I make steak without barley? Are you seriously asking this with a straight face? You are not making sense, stop now as you sound horrible.

        You want to make a better cooking challenge then take a step back and think. Stop unleashing on the internet like this…

        I’m sorry you feel this way but please understand all this could be avoided if you just expressed yourself better.

        All this shit you’re currently trying to argue, you didn’t before and you aren’t properly now.

        Just stop for your own sake…

          The challenge to use the barley. I didn’t ask how to make it without barley did I? That’s you.
