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

This is a hard mode challenge.

    Yeah, I’m gonna agree with the other comments here; I like the idea of this challenge a lot, but the rules are so poorly explained that I can’t begin to guess at what you’re actually looking for. Your post said this is “hard mode” which lead me to assume absolutely minimal other ingredients - presumably nothing perishable - but now you’re saying we’ve got the full Iron Chef kitchen to play with? That’s very confusing.

    The idea is cool. I really hope you’ll update the post with some more info, and that you’ll do more of these. For my two cents, I think it’s a more interesting challenge if we’re working with some kind of restriction like only non-perishables plus milk, eggs and butter (maybe some basic cheeses?). I like the “Fuck, this is all you have in the kitchen, the stores are closed and you’re trying to impress your crush with a fancy meal” kind of challenge mode. But that’s just me. It’s your party. Just, y’know, actually tell us what the dress code is.

      Use the ingredients that are posted. Use other ingredients you’re likely to have around the house to make that possible . Just lit every other cooking show.

      It’s supposed to be fun. It’s not supposed to be a bunch of rules lawyers who can’t cook deciding to make up excuses. It doesn’t need more rules. It needs people who have ideas on how to turn the …

      Wait. Is this one of those “kids today can’t function without explicit detailed instructions. They are afraid to try anything that they don’t know the results of in advance. They refuse to take chances” situations? Because it’s sounding exactly like that.

      If you can’t figure out how to turn the ingredients into food then read the comments of those who can or keep scrolling. It’s not rocket science.

      If you want to create your own challenge then go for it. It’s a community. Anyone can post food related topics.
