The style of North African cuisine in Paris is not at all Tim's world. Analyzing the dishes is difficult. Meta, who is known for her love of meat, is in for a nasty surprise in Vienna: vegan gourmet snacks await her.

In this episode of "Kitchen Impossible", Tim Mälzer and Alexander Herrmann set each other seemingly impossible tasks. Each of them is supposed to perfectly recreate a local chef's speciality in two countries under the toughest conditions. The top chefs don't have a list of ingredients or the recipe - they just have to discover the secret of the dishes by tasting and smelling.

Tim Mälzer in Portugal: The contents of the box that awaits him on the picturesque beach initially delight him: How can a rice dish with seafood taste so good? In Helsinki, Juan Amador receives his dish in a simple backpack.

While Tim Mälzer is struggling to prepare fish bladder and sea cucumber in Hong Kong, Tim Raue's preparations for the Scottish national dish Haggis are causing the local butcher to shake his head.

Roland Trettl is invited by Tim Mälzer to his hometown of Hamburg, where the box is waiting for him. To his great delight, he is served classic northern German cuisine: kale with cabbage sausage and smoked pork and a meatball with mustard. Simple, hearty, good!
