Task brief

The task brief is laid on top of a stack of poppadoms, which are on a red plate, under a cloche, on the table in the lab. The brief for the task is as follows:

Eat these poppadoms.

After each mouthful, you must lose a letter of the alphabet from your vocabulary.

Then either compliment Greg, or insult Alex.

Your insults and compliments must all be different.

If you use a lost letter at any time, 10g will be added to your final poppadom weight.

Most poppadoms eaten wins.

You have a maximum of 10 minutes.

Your time starts when Alex blows his whistle.

Task notes

  • Also on the table, there are a series of wooden tiles, each with a letter of the alphabet upon it, and a stemmed dessert glass, into which the contestants must drop the wooden tiles bearing the letters they are willing to lose, after each mouthful.
  • A chair is provided at the rear side of the table, for the contestants to sit at.
  • Alex removes the cloche for the contestants, revealing the task brief and poppadoms beneath.
  • Suspended beneath the table, there is a fully-loaded revolving stainless steel chutney and pickle serving dish, to accompany the poppadoms.
