Hi Phew, that's more of a test of hearing than of English I think he says: - Come on. You got to thicken it up. Bring it on.

Hi

I think he says:

- Come on. You got to thicken it up. Bring it on. This is the dish.

It's a very loose phrase in English. It means something like "Show confidence in what you're doing - don't be afraid to get to the point where you show the people what you've prepared"

Thanks, Dave.

Actually, I thought it might be "Bring it on".
But it also sounds like "Cream ....".
Given the context of thickening it up, could this be some phrase starting with "cream"?

Hi

Yes, I think that's a better choice than mine. It could well be: ".. You got to thicken it up. Cream it up .."

I listened to the other one too and I'd go with Optilang: "Adam, a name notorious back in the day ..."

Thank you.
The thing is, the more I listen to it, the more it sounds like "on" not "up". But you couldn't end it with "on" if you started with "cream", could you?

Hi

If it was "..Cream ??? on .." then I think it could only be "Cream it on"

However, I cook from recipes myself from time to time and I've never seen that. Also, as you may know, you can do a Google search for that phrase, putting double-quotes round it, and you will get only those words in order (although Google includes any kind of punctuation and apostrophe-s). Nothing usefu
