He explains at 12:00 that the macaroni and cheese was overcooked and turned out soggy, leading him to give it a disappointed four out of ten rating.
Next, Mackwop turns his attention to the candied yams at 12:45. He points out that proper candied yams ought to have a deep, dark caramelization, whereas the yams served to him remained noticeably orange. Because of this lack of proper glaze and baking depth, he assigns the yams another four out of ten.
