You need three options instead of two....keep....re-gift ....and BIN!!! lol BTW...these videos just keep getting better and better! Looking forward to 2019 content!
Surprisingly they’re actually my favorite vegetable. Hated them as a kid but I really learned to love them. That ‘gold dust’ would completely ruin them for me.
I just found your channel this year and it has become my favourite channel on youtube. Thanks for brightening up my year. I hope you all have a wonderful and successful new year !!😊😄
Loved this, and it kinda gave me an idea for maybe some future videos for you: Take foods that most people hate like liver, brussel's sprouts, and sauerkraut and make them three ways to see if you can get people to like them.
Rewatching this in 2019 and I'm laughing at Mike's reaction to Jamie's hilariously bad christmas singing. You could see the teacher face reaction from Mike at one part. Love rewatching Sorted videos.
I'm guessing you're American or from around that neck of the woods so I'd like to clarify that here in the UK, pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon. American pigs in blankets - the ones that are sausage wrapped in puff pastry - are what we call sausage rolls.
@@Fyreflier thanks for the clarification, because pigs in a blanket are sort of "backyard party" food in the US, I was so confused about it being a staple at Christmas.
I don't know if we have a name for a bacon wrapped sausage with no addendums in the US, but we DO have a few with addendums! If you deep fry a bacon-wrapped hotdog, it's a 'danger dog', and if you wrap smoked cocktail sausages with bacon (streaky bacon is a must), then sprinkle with brown sugar (and maybe a soda like Dr. Pepper) and bake it for a while, you have meat candy!
Ha! I found the christmas tree flavoured crisps sometime last week in my local supermarket and thought wow... who would buy that and what would that even taste like? Thanks for clarification and confirming that this is pish.
I just love watching Mike turn around see the cheese board and be disappointed, then he tastes them and loves them. Everyone else is grossed out. He’s chowing down. I love it
For those interested in the Dessert Cheeses. The Gingerbread, Mint Chocolate and Cherry Bakewell Cheese appear to be made by a company called Shirevale and sold at Ocado (along with Mango & Ginger as well as Gin & Lemon flavors), while the Sour Cherry and Candied Orange appears to be sold by Waitrose as the Waitrose Christmas White Stilton with Berries & Orange.
6:13 I have no idea why that jarring cut away from James .02 seconds after you send the sprout powder rocketing towards him is so funny to me, but I can't stop watching it
Actually the cheeses intrigue me. Every year, my family and i make a cheese platter of weird cheeses that come out for Christmas and these are perfect for it.
Oh my gawd, when the Brussel sprouts part came, I instantly remembered a sorted episode a few years ago where the sorted boys made curry Brussel sprouts, ferrero rocher Brussel sprouts and some Brussel sprouts mousse.
For everyone that was baffled (like me, and clearly Jamie): A Pigouvian tax, named after 1920 British economist Arthur C. Pigou, is a tax on a market transaction that creates a negative externality, or an additional cost, borne by individuals not directly involved in the transaction. Examples include tobacco taxes, sugar taxes, and carbon taxes.
The Brussel sprout dust reminds me of an old thing I used to watch as a kid, the magic dress up box, which barely exists online. There was an episode where the kids, playing prince and Princess I believe, rolled their Brussel sprouts in everything from chocolate to sprinkles and such. I think eventually it made them taste even worse.
I really like learning about British food here. I had no idea that Pigs in a Blanket were a Christmas thing there. And then I looked it up and found out it was totally different from what we mean when we say that (which for Canadians generally means like a very short sausage roll with puff pastry wrapped around a bit of pork sausage). But it's a thin sausage (chipolata) wrapped in bacon there! Fatty pork on fatty pork. But that's great because I always think that turkey dinner here needs another firmer food since sometimes everything winds up being quite soft (mashed potatoes, yam, cranberry sauce, turkey, gravy, stuffing, boiled carrots).
Your channel and you guys are my happy place so thank you! And the editing for mike and James was ON POINT! I'm guessing mike did the editing and its awesome and if not...its still awesome!!
The Cheeseboard selections are the ones I would buy for a party to taste and "gift" everyone else the pleasure of eating. Then send them off with the people that said they enjoyed them.
Lutefisk It is made from aged stockfish (air-dried whitefish) or dried/salted whitefish (klippfisk) and lye (lut). It is gelatinous in texture. Its name literally means "lye fish".
there are several kinds of cheese in the US that do the fruit and flavours schtick, huckleberry in montana, cranberry from new england, I've seen cactus fruit put into mexican farmers cheese, queso fresca, just not my thing. glad someone likes it.
ModestGirl79 Trader Joe's does apricot & stilton (or maybe cheddar-my fingers are on auto-pickup for it, so I've forgotten which cheese) and also ginger and some others from time to time. I love the combo of umami & sweet. If I got these at a white elephant gift exchange, I'd tuck them down into the chair cushions so no one could grab them from me. Yum!
I hope you guys had a Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all SORTEDfood fans. Instead of "eat or regift", can we all simply agree on "for sanity, BIN IMMEDIATELY!".
If you have to make Christmas crisps they should be chestnut stuffing flavour but Mike made me want to try the cheese, though I'd probably regret it. Happy New Year everybody.
I'd regift everything but not sure about the cheeses. I would have to fly to your flat in London and try them out to see if I feel like Ben or Mike...:) And for Brussels sprouts, I toss them in olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper, salt and roast them at 400 until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The char works well with the lemon flavor. Then I dust them with Parmesan cheese.
I literally cried laughing after that cheese segment. That’s amazing. Those cheeses look SO weird, sign me up, I want to try them! Worse case scenario, toss them into a milkshake with vanilla ice cream and pull them fully into the dessert side of the force!
When I went to Italy last year, I had some Stilton and wallnut icecream from the worlds best gelateria, and I have to say it was delicious, I'm with you on the weird cheeses Mike XD
would hate the pigs in blankets tea solely because of the fact is has lapsang souchong in it. I don't want to drink tea that tastes like someone just poured liquid smoke in it.
I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for some chefs to go food shopping during seasonal holidays like Christmas and Easter being overwhelmed by frustration and disappointment at all the pretentiously marketed products that play on stereotypes to overcharge for a profit 😂😂 every time James sees something like pine flavoured crisps, a tiny bit of his soul must get atomised into nothingness, and it won’t be too long until there’s nothing left inside of him 😂
That cheese board makes me think of all the different flavours of cheesecake that are available, kinda the same thing, just cut out the cake part. Also, I love the tinsel in the fridge 😆
