@@SortedFood Taste Testing Barry's Kitchen (formerly pretentious ingredients) might be my favorite series, but I'd love one where the chefs show off their kitchens and then rate a normal's kitchen.
They should make an episode where they legitimately just taste things from Barry's kitchen and the whoever's tasting isn't told it all comes from Barry's kitchen.
Wait, when was he eating Christmas pudding? Seen him eat some truffels, coal and last but not least a tasty not-christmas cake while enjoying a Sherry.
He had the exact aura of a school teacher who delivers the same spiel that starts along the lines of in my 15 years of teaching because his class were feral for the substitute teacher the lesson beforehand 😂😂
James's face when Barry asks what makes eggnog yellow reminds me so much of my customer service days, when a caller would ask me a question and I'd just think "There is no way for me to answer this without implying this person's an idiot."
I was working in a store that specialises in leather products, like bags, belts etc. I got a call once to ask if the leather was vegan. It was very hard not to reply saying that the cows that the leather is from are probably vegan.
@@elariel01 I worked for Comcast tech support when they first released the 'wireless' cable box. The amount of people that complained they still had to plug in the HDMI cable and power cable was so infuriating.
Seriously though, such varieties of sherry, which basically taste of liquid raisin, are excellent with very aged cheeses. I think it's brilliant with some 3-yo or 4-yo Gouda, where you get some crystals forming inside the cheese, or of course a nicely aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
Honestly I really miss dad joke of the week, petition to bring it back? Maybe Janice can narrate at the end but the classic ebbers/Jamie duo would b fab too
Leftover recipes in general are a very good idea. Maybe first a lovely chaotic PIO and then a calm, informative and slightly sassy Ben's instructional.
The most pretentious thing in this video is Barry saying "I'm expecting a journey" and the least pretentious thing is Mike's wholesome excitement about the pudding.
Thanks for making this feel like a regular holiday season despite such a challenging year! I always look forward to Sorted's holiday content! Love you all!
only place to get Fortnum and Mason in the US is at William Sonoma, their Xmas catalogue is also pretentious as hell. But I do like most of their stuff... oh dear I am pretentious...
I can't get over how into Christmas pudding Ebbers is to the point where putting in his favourite things like gin and plums spoils the whole thing for him
@@SortedFood That'd be a good summer Sorted comparison. Different barbecue charcoal and does it make a difference to the flavour of the food in a straight up comparison?
@@CelticUchuu Try William Sonoma, got quite a few of the Fortnam stuff at there, I have a friend who grew up in UK, and every year we get them something from this brand and he absolutely loves it.
It's a bit tricky, but you can make it at home! Mine didn't come out extremely pretty, but since it was meant to look like coal it didn't fare too badly... The only problem I've found is that I've never seen sherbet dust outside of the UK, but I substituted pop rocks for that, and that gave everyone a kick 🤭🤭 Basic recipe is, make the sorted food daim bar recipe (but add some black food colouring to the chocolate if you're not using the charcoal), and instead of bars make it all odd-shapey, let dry, then mist with a tiny bit of oil/butter spray, then quickly coat each piece with some sherbet powder/pop rocks (you can mix some charcoal into the pop rocks, but this gives a weird sensation in the mouth, so I recommend the food colour in the chocolate), and let it rest in a switched off oven (basically you can't get it wet or the pop rocks go off). The charcoal version looks better, but doesn't taste as good, so the look I personally like is to use the black food colour, and then use red pop rocks to give the illusion that they're on fire~ hope this helps ❣️❣️❣️
Here 'pudding' stems from anything that's steamed. Or it's an alternate word for 'dessert'. Me and my american partner joke that in the UK anything can be a pudding and in USA anything can be a casserole!
it doesnt really happens nowadays, i think barry means that when you were children, and there were parents/aunts looking over you in garden while drinking alcohol - they propably drank cherry
I can't love enough Ben's excitement for Christmas and his affinity for the novelty. I could listen to the nerdiness all day! I love it when he's one of the raters.
"When did I get that title?" "When you buy manuka honey in a weekly shop!" In Barry's defense I have to say, as a kiwi, Manuka honey is pretty great. Very expensive though
Alternative idea: Raid Barry’s cupboards and have the other guys guess between what he owns vs outside pretentious ingredients to see how pretentious they rate Barry’s actual food.
WHAAAAT!? That sherry is 27 bucks!? For my friend's wedding we gifted him a $240 bottle of whiskey! Granted I don't drink, but I did not expect 30 year aged anything to be $27. That bottle of sherry is older than I've even been alive.
Fun fact day 66: The quietest room in the world in Minnesota is measured in negative decibels - so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat and your bones moving.
Barry: what makes it yellow My husband: eggs James:..........eggs I think I have made my husband watch cooking shows a bit too much (or just the right amount).
I don’t celebrate Christmas, but I’d love to experience an authentic British Christmas, with those Christmas crackers, Christmas puddings, those paper crowns you all seem to wear for some reason, and, like, actual British people.
If you're not religious you'd probably love a British Christmas my whole family are atheists and we still celebrate it because it's a fun part of our culture and there isn't a huge emphasis put on the religious aspect in general. Also the paper crowns come in the crackers and you have to wear them lol.
Ohh eggnog truffles aren’t pretentious! They are so common here in the states. It’s a holiday flavor in chocolate - that’s what you do at the holidays!
That's so interesting! They're quite rare here in the UK. In fact, Eggnog isn't commonly drunk in the UK over the festive season either. The chocolates were very nice though!
In Canada they usually start stocking eggnog in stores at the beginning of November and that is when life begins again lol jk but actually low-key obsessed with it
@@rebeccametcalf4448 as a Canadian who also really likes eggnog I can't not recommend making your own eggnog, it's actually really easy it just takes some time and patience and it's significantly better than the stuff they sell in the stores it's so much richer and creamier and just better all around
We in England have sherry so wrong as a relaxed, civilised drink. Go just once to Seville and spend hours in a bodega drinking €1 sherrys, no better party than that
So as a person in the states, I've never had a Christmas pudding, I mean it looks interesting and like something I would love to see on the table, however the one in the show both of them have said its not something that is indicative of a Christmas pudding. Is there a more, well I hate to say traditional, but a better representation of what a Christmas pudding should be that would be available in the states? I would love to try it if not this year, then the next.
Have yall done a berry's pantry video? It could be a whole series. Episode 1 berrys Pretentious ingredients Ep2 chef v normal using his ingredients Ep3 chef v chef with fusion flavors Ep4 the relay cooking yall r so very good at 😂
Sorted Food is way too underrated of a channel... they deserve millions of views on every video. They put way too much effort into their videos to only get half a million views each vid
I dont think im EVER going to forget the time they served xmas cheese to mike and he ACTUALLY ENJOYED THEM, the absolute madman. Favourite sorted moment, HANDS DOWN Speaking of which, im going to rewatch that video
I'm going to use this opportunity to gift everyone with this throwback video of the Sorted crew remaking Kellis' #1 hit 'Milkshake'. 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EtH7W3xI3Vc.html Enjoy the holidays everyone. 🎄
The best drink tip I learned was from an older Portuguese guy, who brought me bottles of good Port - but WHITE Port. He taught me to keep white Port in the fridge and serve it chilled - as a wonderful aperitif. And to mix cultures respectfully, it's great served with Japanese rice crackers. 🥂🥨👌
At the end of the day, it's all about the "OOOOOOs", and "AAAAAAA" we get, therefore we are all given a free pass, and should be as pretentious as we want. My daughter just pointed out, that my gift wrapping is very pretentious, as is my obsession with how the ornaments hang on my tree. Have yourself a very pretentious Christmas!
Manuka honey is a health food. Pretentious is not an appropriate adjective... There is a reason Mike has been losing. Judging by the top coments, most followers are clueless.
The truffles are actually made by a company called 'House of Dorchester' in Poundbury, Dorchester ;) They make them for that company, but sell them in their shop for less than a third of the price Charbonnel et Walker sell them for!
My definition of pretentious is something that is trying to market it's self as a ~fancy~ version of something that already exists, has a higher price tag (triple the average), and isn't remarkably different than what already exists OR is so different it's no longer the same thing. So the pudding (if we're listening to Ben about it not tasting like Christmas pudding) is def pretentious
Sorry but if you buy Xmas pudding you are missing out and if it's over 10 bucks AU it's pretentious and totally not worth it. Pudding has to be home made and aged a year to be good. My family has been making the same pudding every boxing day for over 100years and it's eaten on Xmas day. not one person who has tried it even hard core Xmas pudding haters have not loved it. to the point my family now make at least 15 more a year for our friends who are to scared to make it themselves every year we get go to my grandmother well now my mother as my grandmother passed away this year and my mother is now head of the family and we tell her how many puddings are needed for everyone who asks for one or more than she goes and gets all the stuff needed and on boxing day all us girls will be arms deep in the mix while the older women get out the huge old coppers to cook them in. Its a big effort especially after eating to much the day before but so very worth it. And I can't wait to inherit one of the coppers one day then I will get to boss everyone else around lol.
Pass It On idea: They have to use an ingredient beginning with every letter of the alphabet in order. The first person has to start with an ingredient beginning with A then B and so on
That box of white chocolate truffles is the epitome of pretentious to me. The years of history, the royal family backing, the gold trim and tiny portion size, all screaming pretentious
