Chef RUTHLESSLY Reviews TikTok Food Trends 

I don't usually comment on videos but I wanna say that I appreciate the rate you are releasing videos at! The videos always give out a cozy feeling, and you managed to have a brand where the viewer feels like he is chilling with their friend group. Well done!

So pleased to hear that tinned oily fish is making a "come-back". For many of us oldies......it never went away! 😂

Barry, speaking with his mouth full: "I was taught manners!"

Would love to see another cuisine fusion video where you pull 2 cuisines from a hat and have to fuse them! Would love to see what the normals/chefs would do!

Ebbers: "Creamy milk, crunchy ice..." Barry: "fiiiiizzZzYy."

That's crazy that "toilet paper tinned fish" is a trend! My country has a mandatory military service and field rations are all tinned food - including tinned tuna. It's super super common to soak toilet paper in the oil of the tuna and let it almost fry the tuna in its own oil. Especially in the winter when you just want something tasty and warm. I have friends that still do it as civilians because they like the taste! Personally I would let it burn until there isnt any more fuel because it will always be consistently cooked through and I feel a miniscule more healthier because most of the oil has burnt off

Ebbers on TikTok is like me teaching my nan how to send an email.

SLURPING IS NOT PART OF KOREAN CULTURE! It's just for more sound effect by creators these days, but it is and never was a polite thing to do. Very misunderstood in the mixture of various Asian cultures. It's rather considered as filthy as chewing with mouth open.

that slurping and sniffing will never be comforting.

If pudding rice would work the same in a cocktail, cooking the rice afterwards might give a nice twist on your rice pudding! Worth the experiment I would say 😋

I'm with Barry about the slurping. I absolutely dislike ASMR videos. They just make me feel squidgy.

About the smoked fish: As a military person we would sometimes get canned tuna, bread, beans and corn to eat if we were in the field. We would always smoke the tuna. Put some toilet paper on the tuna and light it. Gives it a really good flavor

Hwachae does go back to the age told in the video, but as people didn't have access to ice as mentioned, it was just flower/fruit/vegetables soaked in cold river water. It's also an old-school go-to snack in bars cos its cold and sweet countered well to the alcohol. A famous household recipe includes a watermelon cut in half with all the inside scraped out to be mixed again in the bowl of watermelon peel with the rest of the ingredients.

The last trick is something we used to do in the army for the battle rations - we got tuna cans and would put toilet paper on the top and light it to make it tastier

Can we appreciate how great the Shirt looks on Jamie! I would love to see more of that style cause not everyone can pull this of🔥

I tried the rice paper pizza off a Beryl Shereshewysky video. In that one the paper was cooked in a dry pan with egg, pork floss and chili oil till crisp, then folded twice like a napkin. It was still crispy (and completely delicious). I am totally going to try Ember's suggestion of cooking this version flat! I think it would be epic that way.

canned food should never be heated by a flame, only in a waterbath. Cans have a polymer coating on the inside to prevent the food from tasting like metal, which will leech into the food when heated to high heat like with a flame.

My kids are now in their twenties. When they used to go on youth club trips, they always smoked tuna. They'd take tuna in oil and paper towels and no matter what the food was on the trip, they'd be happy.

Waking up dehydrated in the middle of the night, all the sugars in milk, sprite and fruits would make me die of thirst. I really can't comprehend how it's logical.

I would like to note that there's another reason carbonated milk is awful, other than making us think it had gone off: Carbonation means its infused with carbonic acid which will cause the milk to flocculate.

My kids all learned to do the burning paper with canned tuna at summer camp, they still ask me to buy the tuna in oil even at home

OMG it's SO fun seeing the smoked fish on here. I got introduced to it by an Israeli friend back in 2012 at a festival. Lots of drinks, music and the likes. He did this with toiletpaper, and as soon as the paper STOPPED burning, it was done. Funny to see it make a comeback. It's always been around, but it certainly has its place.

Thank you for making the rice paper thing. Now I don’t have to.

Not a trend, but something I got hooked on when I lived in South Africa: ostrich burgers with bacon and a slice of grilled pineapple. Ostrich is very much like really lean beef, but quite gamey - which pairs well with fruity flavours. The sale and smokiness of (streaky) bacon adds to the meatiness, while the pineapple gives a burst of sweet, tart fruitiness. A splash of cider vinegar on it really sets it off, in my view. For bonus points, serve with chips, onion rings and mushrooms.

Rice paper croissant: I can hear almost every native French citizen scream bloody murder 🤣

I live in a hurricane area. That paper towel trick to heat canned fish might come in handy if I have to endure a power outage for a few days.

Ebbers is so ticked on the Thumbnail! This shall be fun!😂😂😂

i feel like Ben has been saying "Tinned Fish is making a comeback" for like 8 years now.

Next time I go out for a drink; wallet, keys, phone, rice

you can use the leftover rice from the "rice washed" negroni in a boozy rice pudding maybe with a bit of saffron

When I was at Burning Man in Nevada I met a woman who had served in the Israeli army. Burning Man is a little bit about survival. She taught me how to do the tinned fish thing. It's something they get taught as part of training. 20 minutes later we had perfectly cooked tuna sandwiches for breakfast.

Thank you for saying Eggy Bread as well as French Toast. I always think Eggy Bread sounds less elitist as French Toast makes me think it's Cordn Bleu😂😂😂

Hwachae is made with strawberry milk OR soft drink! it’s been a misconception/misunderstanding and people have been mixing both sprite and the strawberry milk together. Glad it’s still good either way! EDIT/CORRECTION: more common to use one or the other but also a combination of both can be used

that paper towel trick with the oily fish has been used for decades in the army (at least the finnish army).

Tiktok food trends. Follow fast or scroll past. Me: Scroll past Q: Which one(s)? Me: Yes.

Oh damn, Ben mentioning rice paper pizza just gave me a great idea to make a slightly less messy okonomiyaki. WANT.

The last one is a military trick

The title of the video, the thumbnail and the fact that yesterday’s video was red hot chilli pepper rage. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Love when Ebbers tests hacks! Thanks guys ☺️ Yes please more videos like this 💜💕

It’s three am, and I woke up very dehydrated because I made bad decisions the night before

I had to mute the ASMR section and use subtitles, my misphonia makes me feel so horrifically ill with those noises

I just need to say that I loathe ASMR with a passion. I dont understand how people can find people chewing? gulping, sniffing, and whispering down a mic relaxing. I have a visceral disgust reaction towards it 😂

i am pretty sure if koreans eat with their families via video call, it is not called a mokbang. a mokbang is a literal "eating show", so its a show for other people to watch. and probably popular because in korea everyone is on a diet and feels better when watching others eat a lot.

6:16 is why I have dinner watching the Sorted Boys, so I don't eat alone anymore ❤

The eating ASMR is not for me, but it is just a small part of the whole ASMR community. Same goes for the unintelligible whispering videos, just not my thing. But back with the fizzy milk, this is a staple at many parties in the midwest US, is to take a lime or strawberry sherbet (but it must be just one flavor only) and then put the whole container in a punch bowl with sprite or other lemon lime soda. It gets even better as the sherbet melts as well.

"Wanna give it a go?" "Not really" is a really good quote though. id say its better than "i woke up severely dehydrated". because it promotes boundaries, rather than dehydration. im only half joking here, drink some water peeps!

The ASMR bit made me irrationally angry

For the very first time, I had to skip over a sorted segment. I had to fast forward over the mukbang. I just can't watch it without getting skeeved out. That said, the sardine segment was very cool.

When I was in High school the old Laverne and Shirley show (Happy Days Spinoff) was on and I started drinking milk and Cola because Laverne (Penney Marshall) did it.

Midnight snack.... Wake up ? I always thought you had not gone to bed yet not just got out of bed amd gotten food hahaha

The paper wick in an oily fish tin has been around for a long time in the bush-craft community. Both as a source of emergency heat & light, & as a way to cook your supper with minimal kit. I'm glad that tinned fish is coming back. I always keep a good supply in my larder for inexpensive meals & quick suppers. Plus on expeditions a tin of oily fish was like a gold bar. After weeks of dehydrated food, rich, fatty & oily protein was highly sought after. 🐟

Ebbers will definitely be as peeved as he was with the sausage thongs! 😂😂😂😂😂

On the whole fizzy dairy topic Milkis is a really popular soft drink in Korean, which is essentially yoghurt flavoured soda - it's a delight!

I know it's not the same but my favorite type of tin sardines are the "sardines à poêler" ! The sardines marinated so long into the butter (or other sauces) and they get such a good crisp !

when I was a kid you gave someone a few warnings about how loud they were eating and then it was fair game to beat the crap out of them if they kept doing it .

The smoked tinned fish is a really big "thing" in israeli hiking culture. I remeber doing it on treks and such. Really funny seeing it here.

1) For once all trends I haven't seen or heard anywhere else. So thanks for including me in the revelation! 2) ASMR is in many types, some I appreciate a lot others not at all. The fact that all the banging, slurping and cutting especially in food vids is veing called ASMR I kindly put aside as for me that is just hyped for nothing.

I'd like to see more fun things like this for outside eating. Maybe a fun outside food special?

The Smokey fish or tuna Is sooooo common in Israel as the IDF soldiers eat it when in the field , so much we call it ‘army tuna’ 😂

ASMR plus the word 'sip'? *shudder* 😖 😂 The oily fish, though? Absolute winner. I love Mackerel in sunflower oil on toast for my lunch. 😊

As a lover of tinned fish, I'm definitely trying that last one!

Jamie turning on dad mode - No, we're gonna give it a go (7:29)

Similar note to the fishwick, if you have some paper towels you've used to clean up oil, you can keep them away and use them to light up charcoal for a grill or even a wood stove.

I love these. I'll try the tinned fish wick at some point. Maybe in 4 years.

Rice paper layered with butter and baked should give a croissants or baklava effect.

You guys really should do more tinned food (seafoods, meats, anything) reviews/videos!

In early...please be Angry Ben, please be Angry Ben....

Sorted has quickly become my favorite channel to watch

Love the fish oil trick!

Been doing the fish thing my whole life on camping trips and hikes. Its a great way to get something warm without bringing a Trangia set. I know its a huge thing for danish scouts!

I’ve had a fizzy fermented milk drink, and it was delicious. I also like what’s called a “brown cow” (I think) which is a mix of Pepsi or root beer and milk.

I was doing that fish-oil wick trick over 10 years ago. Never imagined myself a trendsetter. I have done some camping in my life but this was when I was in the military. And yes, it's delicious.

The last one really blew my mind... Why isnt that a more common thing. It makes so much sense. I will definitely give that a try for my lunch tomorrow

Ebbers + ruthless = immediate click

I'm pretty sure that, when that oils burns for quite a while, you could heat up a small metal cup of water above with that. A little makeshift stove made from the lid of that can, cup on top, maybe putting a tea bag in and wait for both to be done.

Omg I loooove that vermouth I am an old lady and will totally just sip on a glass of that 😂 🙃

using a co2 foamer to make ice cream, i remember the guys from science channel, in a video on their uk feed did it. i watched a video for it on Netflix, when i still had an account. it was simple, cream, half and half, half a cup of sugar and milk. the only thing that was put in the freezer, with the lid on, was the container. the co2 was used to create a cold, foam made out of the cream mixture. the measurements are one cup cream, half a cup of half and half, half a cup of of milk and half a cup of sugar. what's supposed to happen is the cream is meant to thicken it, if it's refrigerated in a sealed bowl. do not freeze this. also a little coco powder can be used in the place of the sugar, as most coco mixes are presweetened. nestle strawberry milk powder works too. both are great for a flavored, eggless mousse like dessert. torani coffee or flavored syrups work, just not the ones that are citrus fruit.

Would love to see a pass it on or food battle where the dish has to be gluten free! I think it would be very educational for many :)

I feel like there's a lot of room for the wick trick to go wrong. Could ruin a countertop. The idea of imparting some kind of smoky flavor seems wrong to me, because usually that's about putting the specific flavor of a wood fuel into the fish, and even if your paper towels are sufficiently chemical free, they're not a very tasty kind of wood, and it's the oil burning anyways.

Coming from a country where most drinks are fizzy by default. We put sparkling water into white wine and call it a Schorle. The thought of fizzy milk is turning my stomach. Happy to be proved wrong.

I’m definitely going to give the fish a try, it will teach my kid about fuel and she loves anything to do with outdoor cooking. The rice paper I can see as either each sheet rolled cooked and sliced, or to make it more even stacked to make a layered flan. I agree that I’m not so keen on asmr 😂

I think the leftover rice would make a good dessert. Think… rice fruitcake 😋

Do the rice paper dumplings!

As most viewers I grew up learning that it's bad manners to slurp, but after a trip to Japan where you are suposed to slurp when eating some foods, I was suprised to find it really liberating haha.

Oily fish is so important to diet, and this has encouraged me to eat even more as it seems this trick really works.

If you’re going to stir your cocktail fill the mixing glass with ice to chill and dilute it properly. I’m intrigued by the rice wash, I’m planning on doing a bacon fat wash on some scotch tonight, which you have inspired me to do from your last video.

Actually, the rice paper croissant is a croissant when one knows the word croissant means crescent shape. Korean Hwachae's are very popular here in our area of California and it may be because we are an ethnically diverse area, or because its hot 100*-110* from May to October and like overnight oats we like healthy cold food choices. Instead of milk we will use homemade milk kefir.♥ As for Ben saying tinned fish is making a comeback. Maybe in England but here in California canned tuna, anchovies, sardines, mackerel, herring, salmon, trout have been popular items for decades. Very popular with backpackers, surfers, day hikers, quick snack folks. 🙂

There is something pervy about ASMR and mukbang and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Guys the original haw he is made with a drink called Calpico, which isn’t really a milk but a milky juice type drink, and traditionally it’s really only used with watermelon which they cooled in the springs for summer. But I guarantee it would taste much much better with the right ingredients ~

Those paper towels look awfully bleached to be used as a cooking element

Jamie’s shirt!! Oh, it’s lovely!

The fruit soup sounds (pun intended) 😂 delicious. It reminded me of bingsu which was so good on a hot humid Korean afternoon.

From what I've learned about Korean culture over the last 7 years is that slurping isn't a respect thing, it's just a sound that happens while you eat. I don't think it's offensive in any way either. The only reason we're taught not to do it in western culture is because of etiquette trends back in the day. That aside, I haven't tried hwachae yet, but it's definitely on my list! I think it'd be great using Milkis instead.

DO NOT CONSUME UNCOOKED RICE Well, unless you _want_ food poisoning from Bacillus cereus. I'm not convinced the alcohol content would be sufficient, either, to kill the bacteria.

I've been using the trick with canned tuna in oil for years, since I knew it is a trick used by Tzahal soldiers to both warm the fish and burn out the excess oil of the canned tuna. You are left with hot fish in hot brine with almost no oil and with a good smoky taste. And maybe a couple of carcinogens, but hey... :)

I think that instead of trying to produce a psuedo-croissant, I might just layer two or three sheets of the rice paper, fry them to set the egg, and then roll them around a filling and end with something similar to a reinforced crepe.

I once carbonated my chocolate milk, because why isn't there any chocolate sodas? The answer is, because it is absolutely disgusting.

Thank you Barry for describing exactly how the drink feels and not using the phrase mouth feel. I shudder every time here someone say that phrase.

The rice starch cocktail reminds me of the different kinds of sake. There's one that is unfiltered and it has a creamy texture. I forget what it's called but I absolutely love it 🍶

re: fizzy milk - there's a popular drink in Korea called Milkis. It's basically exactly that, fizzy milk. I loooved to drink it when I lived in Seoul!
