Chefs Vs Normals Taste Testing Pretentious "Festive" Ingredients Vol.4 

And we'll happily drag you and everyone else into the next! 2021... Here we come!

@@SortedFood I'll bring the wine!

@@SortedFood "If you can't run, you walk, and if you can't walk, you crawl, and if you can't do that... you find someone to carry you." Thank you for being that someone to us! Happy New Year!

@@Nagarath16 absolutely! Cheers SortedFood from Victoria, Australia 🥂🍾🥂

Cheers from Texas!

Well its almost globules, he wasnt that far off 😄

It's a very relatable word 😂

​@@SortedFood Rachel Needs a raise for translating Barry's words.

I don't know where, but “globdjules” has to be said somewhere, in some instance, or some accent. But also, I feel like a bunch of people say it that way. @@Navvye I'd dare say the "phonetics" of that spelling is perfect. I like the "dj" for a digraph for /dʒ/-ish sound.

I can't believe how perfectly you spelled 'globjules' 👌👌

Bazil Tay Tay, summed up.

Haha great shout!

@@SortedFood please make it happen

Pretentious ingredients pass it on was pretty hilarious, but I think it would be great to see what super pretentious dish they could make from some pretentious ingredients.

@@SortedFood PRETENTIOUS BATTLE!

@@SortedFood yesss😂

Thank you Lily! Have a magical 2021 too :)

Also has said "I get cravings for truffles. "

Just your average bloke 😂

When did he say that?

What a pretentious guy 😂

@@oweninsertlastname1575 I dont remember which episode, but the product was a truffle paté that was like 75 pounds for an ounce.

Well that's a shocking development.

A spark of intelligence on RU-vid...

@@nicks931 Well, this channel is a bit smarter than amperes to be

@@ducklinsenmayer7681 Ohm myyyyy....!

You got my Volts.

I found it cute. What got me was in the reading of that pretentious product description for the chocolate caviar after the first time.

Every time he said it I had to say 'globule'. I hoped they would do something about it!

I found this hilarious for some reason! 😂

ya... i thought the same thing... unfortunately covid came to mind

I was in thought in tiktok oh no oh no oh nononono

Great! LMAO!

It was pretending to be caviar, but was way too big.

I don't think it's pretentious in itself, but it being named caviar is trying to appeal to pretentious people

@@Joey-kd8lj Well yeah, by itself it's just dark chocolate, but being that they called it caviar it's wildly pretentious. There are few things that, by themselves sans marketing BS, are actually pretentious.

@@Joey-kd8lj I still think it's pretentious because not only are they trying to market it as "caviar" when they made no effort to make it anything close to that, but they're also trying to sell all the "health benefits" for a chocolate that ultimately wasn't very nice. So they're intentionally trying to hit all the "premium" marketing bull when it's really just mediocre chocolate ball candy in a fancy tin, which is HELLA pretentious.

Glad I’m not the only one worried! I’m hoping he’s just gone to Scotland before tier 4 came in for Christmas celebrations! Bring back sassy James 💁🏻‍♀️

I'm thinking the same thing

I'm more worried after the Christmas episode where he cameo'd as "The ghost of Christmas past", combined with the "Three guys no chef" portion of the episode.

@@freednighthawk that's an old video and they just re-uploaded it with bloopers.

@@juliejohannethorrud6387 Oh, didn't realize that.

Thank god I'm not the only one! Although I must admit I was intrigued by the idea 🤔

Factually correct...

Childish smut.

@@SortedFood 😂😂😂 I’ll never not see that mental image now 😂😂 happy Christmas and I can only imagine the 2021 fun we will get to enjoy ahead , thank you for keeping us laughing and trying amazing food xx we love you sorted !!

@@SortedFood Oh ebbers!

@@SortedFood why do you know this!?

Cheers to ~2020 pt II~ 2021

He's probably fondling in an uber with janice

@@Navvye that made me laugh. Thanks!

@@Navvye Is that a reference to something?

@@aravindvissamsetty Yes. Watch the making of the royal wedding cake episode. "Janice" had quite a bit to say about James lol

Probably went to Scotland for the Holidays to visit family.

Hahaha none of these today.

@@SortedFood Key word “today” lol

Why would you not?

Tex-mex and Mexican foods checking in

😂 now that would be weird!

I saw tomato too lmao

Same 😄

Glad I wasn't the only one!

Me five

Agreed👌🏻

I was looking for this comment!

I agree. I think the boys should try some of the other flavours

They're great but rly expensive imo

Always ❤️ love those.

Amazing. Maybe you should set yourself a challenge? One new dish every week/fortnight?

@@SortedFood making a list of new dishes now!!

Godiva had a similar product that they called chocolate pearls. I agreed with Ben saying caviar or sheep droppings.

😂 at least dippin dots are caviar sized and they aren't pretentious about it

If I heard caviar and they did not have a "popping" effect or at least a gooey middle, I would be massively disappoointed. I can get better chocolate for 10.95 and the shape could not matter less

I love them aswell. Have you tried number 3, The red ones?

Same here :D Have been buying the copper ones as Christmas treats for years! 😍🎄not so much the other flavors

We just had four large ones and two small ones delivered yesterday (late this year; we normally have them Christmas Eve as part of our jólabókaflóð celebration), and OMG THEY REFORMULATED THE PASSIONFRUIT!!!! It's SO good. I mean, it was good before, but now it's knock your socks off A-MAZING. Give 'em a try. And do something delightful with the licorice powder? The stupid USA won't let us import that. 😢

Absolutely love these. Not found any of the flavours that I don’t like.

😂 we probably do too.

Ben is a very basic boring Brit when it comes to cheese, I think.

Iirc, Mike doesn't like the traditional, non melted(cold?) cheese. I too personally like only the melted cheese. So I guess anything that hides the cheesy smell catches mike's fancy.

Oh Licorice is a delight! I ate so much of when I was a child to the point the vendor banned me from it 😂

A level up battle would be great! Nice combination of their formats.

Ever see Mike’s version of a meatloaf in an early battle video? Truly deeply scary recipe! Would love to see him try again.

Yeah I noticed that

Yeah, not super into it. Feels almost like a promotion at this point.

@@waking00one i think its less a promotion since more often than not they would never buy it, i think its just the most overpriced pretentious company they know and have access to without visiting brick and mortar shops

Its Mike picking the shopping.... I could see him accepting a bribe.

@@brigidfarley6347 that part. LOL. agreed. + As if tons of places haven't shut down, or that it wouldn't be unsafe for them to traipse all over town hunting for the most specific things. Not to mention, that would be highly inaccessible for other would-be buyers, whereas a well known super high end brand/shop that has ever-changing stock and is WELL known for their crazy prices and high end ingredients, is mUCH more accessible, *and* theyre not insulting local handcrafted shop owners, who are intentionally creating higher quality/priced niche items. So, all of those things... plus, as they have been BIG supporters of small shops and niche high quality items PLENTY in the past -- I don't think they want to kick anyone with a small business down (who are likely struggling hard right now, if not already closed) during these times and this economy. They've had no problem finding silly frivolous things before, AND being honest about them -- but OP and other presumptive commenters -- lets try to think critically about the situation we're ALL in, and the character of the guys at Sorted, and the confines theyre under too, before we make unkind sweeping assumptions. Personally, I'm delighted to see what fortnum and masons has, as it took me FOREVER to browse even a small section of the shop when I was there, and it felt like the Harry Potter friggin candy shop, which is delightful, so I really enjoy seeing what wacky things they have. Also...... if Sorted ARE making a buck off F&M -- right fucking on, guys??? Thats a HUGE longstanding well established well respected brand and a big deal, and uhh... this IS their job, guys.... It's perfectly fine if they have to make money during a pandemic ? LOL like..... come on...

Time for me to go hunting!

How do you pronounce it?

@@SortedFood Petit - as in small in French. Pets-ee

Those chocolate covered licorice are pricy but once in a while I pick up a small tin for around €7 and enjoy a real nice treat.

Cool hope the new year is better.

We have them in Canada too and I also love them! 🍫🍊

Terry’s Chocolate Orange is THE BEST chocolate ever!!!

It's a masterpiece of razzle dazzle and wonderous finesse.

Seriously, the company isn't even in my country, but thanks to sorted, I expect them in every pretentious video 😂

I love going to Fortnum and Mason’s food hall and watching people who are actually doing their weekly grocery shopping there and wondering what jobs they do and what kind of lives they live in order to be able to buy carrots from F&M!

@@skitsot9046 Same! It's like another magical world filled with people who's lives are SO different to mine!!

Ever since All Creatures Great and Small, I've dreamed of someone sending me a hamper.

Basically, if the flavor text on the label makes you roll your eyes that's a good sign

As you should be. As everybody should be.

Same

It's low-hanging fruit, isn’t it? "Gee, where are we going to find pretentious food in London?"

You missed Janice

@@LednacekZ Head sassy elf?

I’m missing his sassy ways too 💁🏻‍♀️

Yeah, I've been thinking the same. It's as if he is slowly leaving the show 🤨

@@SupernovikoTardis I really hope not

@@SupernovikoTardis no he's not. He loves the team ..

He’s probs ended up stuck in Scotland 😂

Let's see if he manages to make them 👀

@@SortedFood Nice candied lemon chocolates! Well done Barry!!

Wonder if he'd enjoy a spiced hot chocolate.... Brings out the chocolate depth of flavor, while being super mild in hot spice burn. ❤

*Basil

Oh and Happy New Year :)
