ELIMINATED: frgsp

frgsp has been a strong contender since Round One with one of the highest cumulative scores in the game. We understand that real life comes before /ck/ and appreciate all of the effort you've put into the previous rounds. :)

The theme of Round 9 is... Vegetarian.

You must create a palatable vegetarian dinner entree with enough appeal to sway even the most die-hard carnivore. The following contestants scored in the bottom three in the Cupcake round, meaning that your penalty in this round is to cook a *vegan* dish (no animal by-products).

ELIMINATED: mr_kruhy and Tokufags

A big round of applause for both eliminated contestants. This year's competition is closer than we had anticipated and to have made it this far is a tremendous accomplishment. We're sorry to see you go and we hope you'll consider cooking along with the remainder of the competition!

The theme of Round 7 is... Time Travel.

Those of you who followed the competition last year will remember that we had a "roll for" round with cuts of beef. This year you'll be rolling for a historical period and try recreate a dish that is based on a particular time period and still appetizing for a modern palate.

Please roll once using your competition name/trip. YOU MAY NOT RE-ROLL. You will be disqualified if you do. (And yes, we will know if you try--the warosu archive shows deleted posts.)

--> 0 - Neanderthal
--> 1 - Ancient Greco-Roman
--> 2 - Aztec/Mayan
--> 3 - Medieval
--> 4 - New World/Silk Road
--> 5 - Edwardian
--> 6 - 1960s
--> 7 - 1980s
--> 8 - Modern
--> 9 - The Future

The prize for this round is immunity. If you win this round you will be placed in the Final Four no matter your current cumulative score or performance in Round 8.

(p.s. We apologize for the delay in getting this round up, both of us had demanding schedules (finals, and work for hearts) so it took us longer than usual to get the tally calculated. We've given you guys an additional day to get ingredients, etc. to make up for it.)

frgsp: please email hearts (heartsheartsck@gmail.com) to confirm your shipping address.

"Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" can also be downloaded for those of you interested (this was a 2011 Advent Calendar book so some of you might already have it).

ELIMINATED: BubbleBurst and Pwiz

We're both very sorry to see the two of you leave the competition. Bubble was a finalist who placed in the top four last year and Pwiz had submitted some very outstanding entries since Round 1. We hope you will continue to participate by voting and maybe even cooking along with the remainder of the Challenge! I think it's safe to say that everyone enjoys looking at entries submitted, even if they're just for consideration.

The theme of Round 6 is... Tapas.

These small plates can be traditional and follow a a Spanish flair or interpreted in your own unique way. The only requirement in this round to create at least three different tapas dishes.

There is no penalty in this round, though the winner of the ravioli round will receive a copy of Marcella Hazan's "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking"--a must-have Italian cookbook often referred to as the "Mastering the Art" of Italian cuisine.

>I'm not in the competition anymore but I made some a pulled pork burger with coleslaw (pointed cabbage), BBQ sauce (not homemade), fries (triple-cooked) and ramson mayonnaise (it looks like a weird bearnaise though). Bun is obviously homemade. Bring the hate.

>>4387457
>This turned out surprisingly well. The sweetness of the red onions complemented the richness of the duck, and the sweet-sour oranges made a perfect dessert. Mug is full of guava and kiwi instant tea which is god tier with anything.

>I lost the previous round so I'm not a competitor anymore, but I like feedback and critique.

p.s. Borneo, whenever you see this give hearts an email.
