I thought Jamie and Mike were just taking the piss on Barry, but no, Barry legit doesn't know things. Poor guy, it must suck being the dumb one in the group.
Why are you insulting people? Jesus christ. People just want to watch someone they look up to, to teach them how to cook meals that they also can. Get a grip jake.
piplupcola Worth checking out their early content - Sorted started out because Ben wanted to share cheap, easy recipes with his friends, when they were students!
I know that there will be a lot of anti vegan comments, and a lot of vegans defending themselves but I just want to say that I am so happy that you guys are open minded when it comes to learning new things about food or eating habits . I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos a lot! Thank you!!!
@@SpeedyThingGoIn4 all u need is a liquid vitamin b12 once a week. You only need a tiny portion of what vitamin sellers tell u u need. Dr mcdougall is the legit source
Still my favorite giggle-inducing interaction: Jamie: "I suppose your leather chaps are bad (?)." Ben: *chuckles* "Likewise your silk underwear." Jamie: *pauses* *considers* *grins* "Touché"
3:19 Are you trying to say Rooibos? It is an afrikaans name, think of pronouncing "Roy-bos", translates to red bush. Naturally caffeine free and delicious.
Oh hey :) Yeah you're right. It's grown in South Africa and its a very popular tea as it is naturally sweet and great in the summer with honey, a dash of lemon juice and some ice!
@@jimwennekers3764 While it's popular in the Netherlands, the plant isn't Dutch, nor is the name. Roodbos would be the correct Dutch spelling, but we use the Afrikaans name because it's an Afrikaans plant.
I was thinking the same thing. It isn't. It's a type of fermented tofu (correct me if I'm wrong). So if you classify tempeh as a meat substitute, so is tofu - by that logic.
@@sophieisawesomeoh exactly, and tofu is the curd of the beans while tempe is fermented whole bean (never a fan of indonesian tofu with it's though and sour yellow skin)
@LilianaKali rooi rhymes with boy and bos is said In the same way you would say boar (a pig). It's afrikaans and translates to Red bush in English. Its deliciously fruity and go good with an ouma rusk
I was going to say the same about seitan - especially since he's serving tofu. Just because seitan and tempe (and tofu!) are used as meat substitutes, doesn't mean that's their sole purpose. He doesn't seem like he knows how to use them as their own thing instead of just an alternative to chicken.
Thank you so much for going into this with an open mind! I’ve had so many “trying vegan” videos ruined for me because the testers go in with a poor attitude, almost as though they want to hate it. Loved your video!
Yeah that part annoyed me - tempeh is DELICIOUS! Also, it would be a meat substitute if it were „tempeh sausages“ or „tofu burgers“, but not as a product itself.
Ben you've never heard of rooibos??? It's the most awesome hipster decaf tea drink. Where have you been all your life I'd you don't know about rooibos?
So great that you guys are trying this. Personally, I love meat substitutes. In the Netherlands, we have a few amazing ones. It made the transitions for me so much easier and when friends come over.. they don't even miss anything in terms of flavor or texture.
First thought: "oh Barry, honey" Second: "oh shit Alex is hot but a bit pretentious" Third: "oh come on, couldn't the whole day have been one video? I don't wanna wait!!"
I love the Gallery Cafe! They use Allpress coffee as well (also, you could have definitely got an oat flat white) I'm super suprised that a chef had never heard of Rooibos/Red Bush tea! its delicious!
I really like this video and it makes me now want to see what vegan restaurants are in my area and trying them out. I have been including more vegan and vegetarian dishes into my diet. I love this series.
As a vegan I will always respect the Sorted guys for handling these topics respectfully and with a good sense of humour! They never bash, they're never rude, they don't sugarcoat either...I could not have asked for more. Thank you guys!
Seeing James and Berry walking arm in arm is the most sweet and queereye thing I have seen! Very adorable and shows the deep friendship they all must have!
omg i had to skip over the part with the vegan chef- that voice grated my soul into shreds. Having said that, I'm really enjoying this series so far! x
tempeh is not only a meat substitute.. it's used as one but it's not just for that only, a lot of people eat it as is (especially in Asia) and it's jam packed with protein
Love this! I am not vegan myself but I am trying more vegan recipes since I have removed dairy from my diet! Wish I lived somewhere that had more options for restaurants.
I've been Vegan for 17 years and SO happy so hear you are trying it out. I run a nutrition business and love helping people too. plant based food heals us all
Having known some...shall we say...unpleasant people who are also vegan, my impressions of that style of food have been colored by my negative interactions with the people, not the food. This gave me a non-judgmental way of looking at vegan food that encouraged me to try the food again! Thanks, guys!
That vegan chef is EXACTLY what someone would would AUTOMATICALLY assume a vegan chef would look like -- he fits the stereotype to perfections. Sheesh!
3:03 Turmeric latte makes me laugh and pity (a lil bit) who drink it. It's mostly haldi dudh (turmeric milk), and I remember it being shoved down our throats when we were kids by my mom or grandmother. It's supposed to be super healthy, but tastes shit. We used to call it 'jaundice milk'.
Snigdha Bharadwaj thats bcs you didnt put sugar and saffron in lol. Tastes better that way. Also the name turmeric latte is fucking stupid like all white vegan things.
Snigdha Bharadwaj I've never had turmeric latte/milk but I hate the flavour of turmeric. I only use ut sparingly when I want to give things a bit of colour(like making rice or even cheese sauce).
VERY long time viewer here. When I started watching your videos I wasn't vegan yet. Now that I am, I am of course REALLY happy that you are doing this. Really looking forward to this week!
God you know what's even more played out than the 'eating meat is wrong' narrative, is the 'hating on veganism' thing. People go vegan for so many reasons, and hating on it is just such an effort, why even bother? On a positive note, thanks Sorted Food, this was really great!
Glad you liked it! To be fair... we're only exploring the Vegan diet from a food and cooking/taste perspective. There are many other reasons for switching. Not something we're really tackling in this short series.
SORTEDfood Totally understandable though! And you're commitment to informing others (and James' enduring love of Scotland) are the reasons I keep watching!
Rooibos is a South African tea made from the Rooibos plant, which we call a 'fynbos', or type of fine, small and dry bushy plant that is native to the country. Rooibos is an appellation of origin similar to Cognac or Champagne and real Rooibos comes from the Western Cape region of South Africa. It's got some really incredible culinary translations - maybe you guys could do a tea week and explore it (and some other beautiful, exotic tea flavours) further. Would recommend a Rooibos cocktail, or even use it as a basis for a pork glaze - works well with citrus, ginger and even in a rye bread!
Tempe as a meat substitute?! This is a first! I absolutely LOVE tempe, never knew it was a "meat substitute" for vegans. Chop em up, coat in turmeric + salt/pepper and shallow fry.
FYI, both tempeh and tofu (also seitan) existed way before the modern veganism. I am Indonesian, and I disagree with both being labelled as substitutes for meat textures. They really are not made for the vegans. They are cheap sources of protein because we produce a lot of soy. They have been delicacies in Indonesia for many many years. Please send my regards to the vegan chef.
Ok, a lot of people have been sounding off that tempeh isn't a meat substitute, but no one's really said what it is, so for anyone else who was curious: Tempeh is a soy product, kinda like tofu, but where tofu is soymilk, tempeh is fermented soybeans. It originates from Indonesia and, sure enough, is not used as a meat substitute; it's its own thing.
OMG this is amazing!!! Thank you so much for showing all of us the wonderful options vegans have (we don’t only eat salad lol). I can’t wait to see the rest of this week!
vegan but been subscribed for years and never unsubscribed because your recipes are so creative and you can always make things vegan ^^ soo happy to see this vid :D
Rooibos (pronounced ROY-boss) comes from South Afrika, and is also sometimes called redbush, or bush tea. Here in the Netherlands it's quite popular and part of most people's standard tea assortment.
just because you use it in that way, it doesn't mean that's its identity. I can use a toaster as a paperweight, doesn't mean the toaster is a paperweight right? You're ignoring the object's true purpose and uniqueness as an ingredient.
While I personally am not a vegan but would definitely try the food, I’d like to say the chef 100% sounds like a stereotypical vegan from shows on the Telly but w an accent
OKAY rooibos is the greatest tea of all time - try vanilla rooibos, lavender rooibos or like any other flavor lol it's SO GOOD, and I think it originates in South Africa. Either way, take it with honey :)
Woooohoooo! I used to love your recipes...and have made many of them over the years. I then went vegan and have been looking for "sorted" type recipes, no nonsense, quick, yummy food. Does this mean you'll be doing more vegan recipes? 😍😍😍
Rooibos is a very healthy South African tea. Most South Africans enjoy it with sugar and milk, it's healthiest without it though. And you can play with it! Have it hot or cold, add lemon, honey, mint.. It's amazing!
I spent 4 weeks in a hospital and due to my allergy to egg whites I received everyday tofu scramble with spinach peppers and onions. After a week I came to enjoy it. Personally I usually eat oatmeal or pancakes or a bagel for breakfast but the tofu scramble us good.
It can be too bitter for people. I don't like regular matcha latte, because of the milk taste. But some matcha products I don't like either, because it's too bitter for me.
I got to try the "good" matcha first. Good meaning that it was more bitter and savory, making the cheesecake it was in sort of like a vegetable. I've come to like it later.
Im not vegetarian let alone vegan, but often find myself cooking dinners that just turn out to be vegan friendly! Love vegan recipes just as much as meat recipes. Im an absolute cheese obsessive, the stronger the cheese the better, but since trying to cut down on it to keep myself at my current weight (exercise levels drastically reduced) ive found i have the ability to make meals without it. Crazy, i know.
Me too! Both not being a veggie and being surprised dishes somehow becoming vegan friendly. For ages, I've made a bulgur salad to bring to parties with the bulgur being cooked in stock, and one day I realized that all I really need to do is switch to a vegan vegetable stock to make the whole thing vegan friendly. And it's kind of nice to be able to invite everyone, carnivore or vegan, to tuck in.
A lot of people have said "I've never eaten vegan food/I hate vegan food." I'm like dude, you hate fries? You've never had a garden salad? I swear to god you just ate an English muffin with dairy-free margarine and jam! xD
Rebecca Kealy Hahahaha it's good to know most vegans aren't twats!! I got so badly verbally attacked by some vegans at my last university when I was eating a grilled cheese sandwish that it totally put me off the idea until starting my second degree (veterinary medicine), and now I'm surrounded by people open to every lifestyle opinion and are so accepting that I'm seeing the vegetarian and even vegan communities in a much better light.
@viveledecadence it's so easy with just some tiny changes isn't it! Like I now cook mushrooms in a tiny bit of vegetable oil instead of a blob of butter, so if I'm doing a vegetarian style meal (meat is soooooo expensive!!) it just happens to turn vegan by changing barely anything!
Omg I nearly burst with excitement the other day at the vegan video and now I'm absolutely loving life. You guys you're too kinddddd 😜 even more excited about the fact that this is part 1, BRING ON PART TWO 😍😍😍
Yes! :) A lot of people start out with just the food for health, environmental or the animal ethics side of things. As they look more into the diet side, they find out more about the benefits of avoiding other products relating to animal consumption. :)
Rooibos! That comes from my hood man. South Africa. Directly translated it means red bush. Other countries advertise it as a "health tea", but we just drink it as an every day tea. It is delicious though.
I don't like that western mindset that Tofu=Meat substitute... it is not? it is just its own thing, look at all the chinese/japanese disches that combine tofu with meat or fish...now there are of course substitutes made of tofu, but tofu itself is just tofu
Rooibos Tea originates from where I live: South Africa. It only grows in the Western Cape Province of the country. It's delicious and healthy! It also often gets paired with a lot of flavours. Maybe you guys can visit South Africa and try it here :D
Rooibos tea is a tea that originates from South Africa. It is a type of fynbos, which is brewed as a tea and has lots of health benefits. Also it is pronounced "Roy-bos"
Lmao I love how surprised they are when vegan food tastes good. Its not like we just sit and eat carrots and peppers all day (although given some hummus, I'd be happy). But honestly peoples mindset towards veganism is crazyyyy.. videos like this always shock me at how it is assumed to be such a boring, negative thing when its literally the opposite.
I've just watched this again and really enjoyed it. It's nice to remember wandering around London and finding vegan places having just heard that Tibits is closing. Anyway thanks for doing this and hope to see more vegan dishes like aqua Faba desserts!!!
You're in the best place to get into it! Try doing it in a tiny northern farm town where the most exotic spice to add to your lovely vegan dinner is cracked black pepper! Took the local fruit n veg shop until 2 years ago to get garlic bulbs.. had to drive 15 miles to a Morrisons before then! Good luck lads! Keep them minds open, even now a lot of vegan places are hit and miss.
Well Sean, that's for staying so engaged the rest of the time... even when the content/recipes may not be designed especially for you. Hopefully, everybody (meat-eaters too) can now appreciate this week! :D
Yes! So many amazing vegan restaurants where i live. I get disappointed when people try animal free food that is yucky looking even for us vegans...like zoodles, and jicama fries.
Gillian Wilson I have been vegan since birth and I agree with you-Vegan food comes in all varieties..even junk food if that’s your thing. Way to go sorted food
That's so funny you say that, I'm not vegan but I actually love zoodles and jicama fries 😁 the trick is to make the fries super super thin and use a lot of nutritional yeast
Rooibos isn't even hipster. My mum drinks it and is has been a thing in Germany for ages (I don't like it, tbh. if you have something less sweetened than that bottle you got there and just have it as a normal hot infusion (what is also called "tea", in Germany - so when you order "Tee" here, be prepared to be offered all kinds of infusions. Sometimes they don't even have "normal" tea!) it tastes of wet socks...)
