Big Brother has captured the attention of fans since it first premiered in July 2000. A unique aspect of the show that piques viewers’ curiosity is the infamous “slop” that contestants are made to eat.
Slop is a basic meal given to contestants on Big Brother as a form of punishment. Those designated as “Have-Nots” in the house are required to consume slop for all three daily meals. This bland meal is composed of ingredients such as steel-cut oats, whey protein, soy protein, vitamin powder, and mineral powder, ensuring that essential nutrients are still provided despite the lack of taste.
While the base slop recipe is rather unappetizing, contestants have the option to add certain condiments to enhance the flavor. These add-ons include balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and various herbs and spices.
In the past, there has been backlash from fans who believe that slop should no longer be a part of the show. However, CBS has continued the tradition, now in its 26th season. The latest season of Big Brother is set to premiere on July 17, 2024, with the introduction of 17 new houseguests and a grand prize of $750,000.
For those curious about making their own version of Big Brother slop, a food blogger pair known as Brownie Bites has shared a recipe. By combining ingredients such as steel-cut oats, whey protein powder, soy protein, and vitamin and mineral powder, fans can replicate the infamous slop from the comfort of their own homes.
Whether you love it or hate it, Big Brother slop remains a unique element of the show that continues to intrigue fans as they tune in to watch the drama unfold within the house.
