POKER FACE "International Hot Sauce" FOOD CHALLENGE | Sorted Food 

He got so British so quick, just "A Half a Bottle!" I laughed way to hard at that.

Also the accent he showed that that moment. As most of the time he uses a very close to BBC English in a video but that was clearly more northern.

Best line in the whole video.

Best scene ever!!

10:04

Excuse me, it's a syndrome.

I have literally never seen someone react that quickly/"badly" to spice as Ben. It's pretty entertaining

Abit unfair

...and grimacing and coughing!

That's because Ben is way more sensitive to heat than the others. Watch the potato skin battle. He sweltered after eating Jaime's dish.

😂😂😂

It gave me Hermione Granger vibes “are you mad?!” 🤣🤣

bo’le

@@MS-ic3rd Or worse! Expelled!

Reminded me of Phil scof

Warheads? Cry Baby Tears? Toxic Waste?

We have something like that in Germany called Center Shock. They're terrible

You read my mind'!

Black Death bon bons from Mr Simms Sweet Shoppe! They'll leave even your teeth feeling the acid, but I love them :D

Sour challenge definitely has a lot of goodies, I don't doubt they're at least considering it. Citrus fruits like lemon/lime, Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Straight Malic acid. Apple cider vinegar because it's got it's health food trend status. And Ben gets to drop his little facts about sourness traditionally being a human indicator that a food may be spoiled. All fits a little too well to go unnoticed for long.

Hang on, has James managed to avoid all the spicy challenges?

@@jaclynfairhead5848 I think he has. If that's not a skill worthy of a badge...

I think James would want to watch it in person tbh

@@rileyingram5631 We don't know that he's not. He could just be off-screen & unmiked & losing his Scottish mind 😄

I don't remember that! Where was that in the video? Or I could just listen more closely 😂

@@rocklynnrosemary933 it's at about 5:45

When the Covid stuff blows over, they really need to do a collaboration.

Yeah and ten wings each. Not the short version.

Unfortunately we allowed basic freedoms, like freedom of association, to be controlled and even criminalised by the state. We're a very fearful bunch here in the UK and will throw away whatever liberty we have to feel "safe".

@@regmemer9198 "They That Can Give Up Essential Liberty to Obtain a Little Temporary Safety Deserve Neither Liberty Nor Safety" 🗽

It's honestly the crossover we need after 2020.

I think this is a good tie breaker

best idea i've ever read in the youtube comments!

To be fair Jamie did this as well, only Mike started right away

I think out of the 3 minutes, if the serving isn't finished within the first minute, then the clock should be paused until it is finished. So anyone stalling actually has to suffer a bit longer. Also the clock shouldn't start until the first bite is in the competitor's mouth and lips closed.

@@thomasbonse I agree, they should definitely need to last until a certain amount of time after they finish the food.

Come on guys. Dont take the fun out of the competition!

True

"Oh I just thought of a very sad thing..."

And Barry "WHERE'S THE BAG OF ICE?!" Taylor

Agreed.

Jamie needs to call the police because he was ROBBED lol

@@Bojambo Barry is a very biased judge. If ben's sweat does't count, jamie's tears shouldn't count either. You can't say a guy that sweated a pool had a poker face, lol.

And Ben ate an ice cube! I want a vote recount!

I agree!!

I could almost see my face in his forehead

Was there any sweat? 🤔🤔🤔😄

Agreed! Plus, Japanese umeboshi (sour pickled plums) would be fun for them to try 😂

@@KnitsAndNerdy They already ate that in their Exotic Fruits Poker face video.

@@lightning-flower5327 Ah, I missed that one. I'll go look for it 👍

Yes, they did do the exotic one...but it'd be fun to base it all around sour regardless. Start with a dish that's slightly tart and going all the way to the most sour food/dish in the world would be fun to see.

Omg he'd look so cute with that little sour squishy face hehe

"Oh dear...oh dear" Janice must be shaking her head...

I think the obvious question is still, "Why was there a glass of creme Anglaise just sitting there?"

And he only broke after, they both broke during it.

I did notice that while Mike shook it off the top, he then proceeded to dip the unsauced side into it. I do the same with hot wings because too much sauce at once is a problem, but coated evenly is preferred. It’s why The Last Dab is so rough: it’s just SAUCE… then wing.

@@feitocomfruta mike still left more sauce on the plate, jamie ate more of the sauce

@@feitocomfruta with sauce that thick (and with a flat-ish plate) I don't think you can really dip/rub into the sauce

100% that shit was dumb. Jamie ate it all and Ben basicly threw a part away

Yeah, poor Jamie.

Yeah, I agree. For me, Jamie has won all of the hot spice episode. I'm for a public vote for this for the next time. Obviously Jamie is at a big disadvantage due to corrupt judges or something.

Exactly completely unfair

Agreed, Jamie only reacts after the 3 minutes, and they don't give him point. The fire noodles, mike and ben both coughed, Jamie didn't. And even though he reacted afterward, during the 3 minutes he did okay

biased judging! ben grimaced and heavy breathed in both the ones he won. it was supposed to be poker face not poker eyes, which is the only way Jamie reacted!

I've noticed this for the opposite reason; I'm a spice lover and have to go really heavy with chilli sauce on eggs if I want the heat to come through

Oh boy. I can't deal with spice but I either deeply dislike or can't have all of those things. Shit.

Thick water

Old timely foods from the middle ages

In Mexico we have something called chongos zamoranos, it's a dessert made with curdled milk. It is sold in a tin so they might be able to get it

Aloe vera. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it

part of the problem with texture it is very subjective. like with heat there might be disagreement on what is optimum but we would agree b is hotter than a. Whereas because of texture I cannot eat whipped cream or yogurt, which are both popular foods.

plus Ben cheated with the ice

Agreed!

Jamie should have gotten at least some bonus points for the John West salmon "bear fight" commercial reference toward the top of the episode (i.e. "Oh, look! An eagle!" @0:53). 😆🦅 SortedFood endures the worst to bring us the best. 😅

He barely ate the noodles...

He can get mercy at home with the missus. Not here!

It was so sweet of him. I will say I have that exact bottle of hot sauce and I really don’t think it’s that bad, but that’s just me.

100%!

YES! How about a "teamwork" badge! That is so important in restaurant work anyway!

More like taking points from the team giving out points undeservingly to Cheaty Ebbers

Yeah he was so wholesome!!

I had magnum hot sauce and its hotter than 3M scoville. These guys are being a bit dramatic. Its bad but not that bad.

@@matthewfurlani8647 There's always someone like this when it comes to spice. Every single time without fail.

@@Maghanashi lol fair. Drama queens

Berry was just being unfair.

He sounded like Phil scofield

Bloody hell Harry!

Seriously xD

Ah Grasshopper, do we not all play caricatures of ourselves sometimes...?

Lol, so posh!

True. And you know when Barry asks why you've gone super-posh all of a sudden, something is really out of whack. 😆

No, he lost. Plain and simple.

He has a disadvantage because he went first - he isn't mentally prepared on what to expect for the food

@@Khazandar He did, but it is true that watery eyes and sweating is rather normal, even if you love the heat. Ebbers won this fair and square though.

I know right. In both these spice challenges Jamie kept being denied a point for his eyes watering. And yet here Ben kept getting points despite being drippier than a raincloud.

@@22hmartin ​My biggest problem is that Ben literally scraped hot sauce off his food and threw a quarter of one of the cubes on the second round. Sure, the idea was to ignore the sweat, and Jamie's eyes watered, but literally everyone called Ben on that and literally at the end of the round Barry gives him the point. To make matters even worse, Ben literally gave a pained breath directly to the camera (not the "light your breath" joke, but before that, while Barry was talking), and either Barry didn't catch it or ignored it just before saying he wasn't giving much away apart from the sweat. I think that round should've gone to Mike. Also Ben's second point came from the noodles, where he used an ice cube halfway through the challenge (which I would say is full Tap Out territory) and Mike gave a lot away by coughing and breaking down at the end. That point should've been Jamie's. Barry was an overall poor judge throughout the whole challenge.

Agreed

I got a lot calorie coffee drink that was sweetened with monk fruit and it was disgusting. I had to throw it out.

This is a really good idea

commenting to boost this idea!

How about a super sour challenge?

Bitter would actually be fairly nice! Start with something really mild- enjoyable like unsweetened chocolate, or coffee beans- ramp up to a crazy IBU beer. I would appreciate the increased challenge for setting up the morsels in the bitter- I think it would be more difficult to present a bitter forward composed dish than just slapping hot sauce on something. Up until the beer round- but then- not every challenge needs to be about one sided discomfort.

Raw Aloe... the most bitter thing in the world i swear to god....

@@TheBibi0602 oh god it's so astringent

There's something called a bitter melon too, it's REALLY bitter :)

The ice doesn't help at all. It actually makes it worse. Milk and dairy is always the way to go with heat.

I agree, the ice was a bit of a cheat.

Dairy only works before the heat is applied to coat the tongue

@@balbarith45 acid can help as well, such as some fresh lemon or lime.

The only thing I've found that really helps, is to just ride it out. Time is the only cure.

Like an abusive partner. Sometimes it tastes really nice, but the rest is just pain.

It’s so good but good lord it hurts a lot. Also the spicy lime one is almost worse than the normal extra hot one.

I really like the Buldak hot chicken noodles, but the 2x hot are just pain.

2nd this. great idea.

I completely agree!

YUP - a polite way of saying it 😂

@@SortedFood Sadly though, I don't think any of you were able to maintain that trademark British stiff upper lip.

@@Reyn_Roadstorm Nah I think the hot sauce melted their stiff upper lips off 😂

Meanwhile, Mike being polite was changing his F-bomb to an H-bomb when he said, "What the [censored] is wrong with you?!?" to us. 😅

@@neutraltral8757 I HEARD THAT 😂

I'm happy he did too, the others would not have survived that one. The highest sauce on the scoville scale before that was 150.000 scoville. The ramen was actually 8700 but messed them up big time after the previous ones. The last sauce was made with Pepper X which is 3.000.000 on the scoville scale. Not sure how that translates to sauce and there are certainly spicier sauces (like Da Bomb). But there is a reason Barry tapped out that quick and i REALLY didn't want to see the others even try this after getting messed up already by the other sauces.

Only if he scored fairly.

ME TOO

So did Mike. They both did better than Ebbers imo.

Agreed. Mike talks all the way through too which means he eats less.

Or start the timer after the dish is finished, don’t eat it on the clock they faff around way too much, that way they have all eaten the same ammount, or you can judge off how much of the dish they have eaten.

LOLLLL

I would have said 'chefs' but well... you know

@@Psianth Well there is more than one chef that works there.

I wonder if Jamie has tells that they see that we don’t because they’ve known each other for so long.

I know right, Jaime held it together perfectly in all times except the time he choked.

Evidently, he isn't.

Same, thought he was blatantly robbed here. Going first might not be a great thing for him, bc then your performance may not stick with the person judging until it's time to judge. And ultimately, Barry just judged proportionally, I mean Ben performed better than you'd expect him too, but that really doesn't mean he was the best.

I wonder if they judge him harshly because he's the spicy guy, and also because they know he'd win everytime. It's like someone who enjoys durian vs people who doesn't. Of course the durian guy is gonna win, he enjoys it while the others can barely gag it down trying to seem like he enjoys it.

I absolutely loved Ben's essays to delay the challenge. "tHe gReAt ThInG aBoUt PoTaToEs Is ThEy'Re LiKe A sPoNgE..."

this is slept on it was a wonderful comeback.

this was a fantastic series of videos and I need it back

Diabolical!

This is an awesome idea.

Ooh, this is such a good idea!

warheads

They did sour, and they used umeboshi in the episode. 👍

Limes are actually pretty sweet when you bite into them, they could be a trap 1st round.

do

He almost shit himself eating packet ramen, it's pathetically bad

so good at it. noticed absolutely nothing, especially good with the ramen.

Yeah, all his coughing was definitely not him breaking.

@@hedgemonkey6 if you noticed, they only had to hold it for those three minutes. After that nothing counts,

Makes me think of casu martzu, though it's not legal... and potentially dangerous. Episodes like this make me suspect I'm a sadist, but not enough so to make them eat that. 😅

@@neutraltral8757 that's too cruel...

That is a great idea

Mike can be the judge lol

For real. How was that allowed? Mike absolutely should've won this challenge. Mike, you were cheated. Absolutely CHEATED

@@whelkpeopleofdoom Nah Jamie did the best job on the nuddles. Mike completely broke at the end and Ben lost by eating the ice.

Well Jamie tapped out, and Mike's reaction was way stronger

The thing is, ice doesn't help at all with spicy/hot foods. It only makes it worse. So technically they screwed themselves.

@@balbarith45 The thing is that it does work psychologically there and then. There is also that the nudles are pepper hot not chilli hot with that I mean it is super hot at the start but if you get past that they are fine I say that as someone who have eaten them.

I definitely give Barry props for taking one for display of friendship.

Yeah and Baz denied Jamie a point because of his eyes watering. Yet Ben got points twice despite him dripping sweat like a waterfall.

@@TheMrVengeance “it’s a syndrome!” 😂

That's when you change your mind on your dinner choice.....

Yup, he did! Ben and hot spice don't go well together 😂

It's not the most pleasant of experiences 😂

@@SortedFood haha. And I guess that is putting it mildly. 😂

@@Anna_TravelsByRail mildly saucy. Yes, the pun was awful. Sorry, not sorry.

@@SortedFood Back-seat food taster?

@@aylacrissman3443 😂

me too!

Same, I say involuntary reactions shouldn't count, you can't control sweat or tears from spice, so he won.

if you look closely he then smears it over the whole cube. he was just going for even distribution.

@@violetbetzina797 he did it via the food itself right? With a sauce that thick (and with a seemingly flat-ish plate), I think it'll be difficult to actually get sauce onto the food by smearing the food on it. At least, not as much as the amount originally on there. But hey, I'm not there so it's just what I think

absolutely...I haven't even watched the full episode but scrolled down to look if others were surprised Jamie didn't win the first two rounds!

Jamie was teary eyed the entire time (and coughing, or barely eating the food), I was really impressed with Mike this go around.

I have to disagree with you there

Mike has the fewest 'tells'. If Ben is allowed to sweat, surely Jamie can have watery eyes?

Thought the same but in the end it really doesn’t matter who wins or loses because we are the real winners for getting to watch them suffer

@@TheQats really nobody won in that video Those were four broke men

YES

Dude Jamie did well in both spicy challenges. The judging in these things is skewed..

Mike said it: "You're scoring for the format, not the competition." They even did a replay of Ben panting, and he won that round! I like these, just do them without judging, it makes them less sincere.

And pulling the first one out of his mouth in the most sexual way possible while looking straight into the camera...

Imagine a 5 way interview and the 4 of em are on the show

That would be an awesome panel.
