Ep 4. Salad

In the episode "Salad" of the popular British sitcom Mr. Bean in Handy Bean season 1, the titular character played by Rowan Atkinson, finds himself in a culinary conundrum when he attempts to make himself a salad.

The episode starts with Mr. Bean surveying the contents of his refrigerator and being disappointed with the lack of food options he has available. It is then that he decides to make himself a healthy salad for his lunch.

As Mr. Bean starts to gather his salad ingredients, which include lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots, it soon becomes apparent that he has no idea how to actually make a salad. Undeterred, he decides to make it up as he goes along.

Among the many challenges Mr. Bean faces while making his salad is figuring out how to properly chop his vegetables. He tries using a large chef's knife but finds it unwieldy, so he switches to a small paring knife, which is better suited to his needs.

As he attempts to chop his vegetables, Mr. Bean soon discovers that he is not particularly good at it, with the knife slipping from his grasp on more than one occasion. However, he is not one to be deterred, and he perseveres with his task.

Throughout the episode, Mr. Bean's antics are both hilarious and relatable, as anyone who has attempted to make a salad with limited cooking skills can attest to.

Overall, "Salad" is a fantastic episode of Mr. Bean in Handy Bean season 1, which showcases Rowan Atkinson's comedic talents to great effect, and is sure to leave viewers in stitches.
