Taste Testing Breakfasts from Around the World 

April Fool's is coming up, have Kush and the food team invent something totally wild and then give it to the guys, have them try and figure out where it comes from :)

Few notes as a Dutch viewer: The pronunciation was just hilarious. Also, there's SO much on there! No Dutch dad would ever allow you to put THAT much on. But cool that you showed it :) Also, the sugarcoated fennel seeds are also still sold, they tend to get used a lot when celebrating a recent birth.

Very happy to see balkan dishes showed off on the channel, don't see enough of it online!

It's common to see congee as a breakfast staple for chinese people, but I think you guys should explore Macaroni and ham soup from Hong Kong! The story behind that and other HK breakfast items is super cool!!

As a Belgian, can confirm that hagelslag is really popular here, too 🤓 good toasted bread, proper butter and dark sprinkles is heaven! Fun fact: around here we also call them "muizenstrontjes", which translates to mouse droppings 😵

It's so funny to hear your prounanciation of burek 😁. I'm from Croatia and we love a good burek here for breakfast,lunch and dinner. But the bosnian ones are the best..

As a Maldivian I love that Maldives has made the channel, especially as someone who has been watching Sorted for so many years. Would love to see more good like rihaakuru being featured. :)

My grandpa grew up in Burma and I was SO excited to see mohinga!! Sorted still making my day with their videos thirteen years on.

Hagelslag!! I grew up in Southern Ontario (Canada) where we have large number of Dutch Immigrants, including my grandparents. This (and the white powdered anise and the fruity sprinkles) was something I very much looked forward to eating for breakfast when I went to visit Oma and Opa ❤

I do love these episodes ... it's fun to guess along with the guys! Happiest Anniversary to you and hope for at least another 13 more!

Hagelslag, favourite for children in the Netherlands. Possible at breakfast buffets at hotels. But mostly used in homes as breakfast or lunch item.

Loved this series...the breakfast around the world is so yummy. Would love to try all especially the ones from Maldives, Myanmar and Bosnia. More of this please. Another series should look at tea time goodies....🤤

I need to see what recipe you used for burek because... That's unlike any burek I've ever had especially in Sarajevo because I live here! Why all the sesame or whatever those seeds were?! And the fact that Jamie and Barry only had a bite of burek is why we actually don't usually eat it for breakfast unless you're gonna be like working in a factory all day with small breaks. There are other pies that are easier on your stomach first thing in the morning: zeljanica, sirnica, krompiruša, tikvenica when it's in season... Not burek. All the other pies are ladies but he's the man in the bakery.

In holland Hagelslag is actually pretty common, and it's much more chocolatey than in other countries. The anis version is still around and it's called "anijs hagel". We have a whole shelf with different varieties in our supermarkets. It's also common for lunch!

Börek is also a Turkish thing. It comes in all shapes and with loads of different fillings, meat, cheese, potato etc…

I've been to Myanmar during the brief stint between Military Juntas and I have to say I didnt see this dish anywhere. What I did see everywhere though was their (pickled?) tea-leaf salad which I think they called Laphet Thoke. Lots of peanuts in there but besides them and the pickled tea leaves I couldnt tell you what else was in it but might be interesting to explore. I think one of the only places that eats tea leaves.

The aniseed sprinkles still exist and are called muisjes (little mice), and are often served on beschuit (a type of toast) when a new baby is born. There are pink and blue ones and more recently also other colours.

It is rather popular and you will find this in most homes around here, but also in all hotels and bars, you can enjoy this for breakfast. I do agree with my fellow Dutchie that loading the bread like this, is what my 7 year old would do. It”s much better when less loaded.

love learning and traveling vicariously from these!

Hagelslag on bread is not typically found out of the house although all hotels will have little packages with hagelslag to put on your bread. But not in a restaurant or something.

You should try Cypriot tahinopites (sweet tahini pies) or eliopitakia (olive pies, made using orange juice in the pastry, and rolled out in the shape of a croissant). Both are vegan and so eaten during lent (and throughout the year!), either as a breakfast or as finger food when having guests over for coffee.

Kush is AMAZING! Exactly the right dynamic to add to the on screen team.

Most if not all hotels in the Netherlands have hagelslag on the breakfast menu. Light or dark chocolate, white and dark chocolate mix, and colored sugarsticks.

We also eat hagelschlag for breakfast in Indonesia! It's a leftover from when the Netherlands occupied the country. We don't call it hagelslag down there, but that food is part of my core memory growing up in Jakarta.

Thanks for trying hagelslag! Some other favourite breakfast sandwiches toppings that 'don't belong on a sandwich' are: plain white sugar (with butter), speculaas (just whole cookies, with butter), or schuddebuikjes (tiny speculaas sprinkles, obviously with butter).

Happy Belated Birthday to SortedFood! Congratulations on 13 years of culinary education and truly unhinged behaviour in the best possible way lol

As a child (and even now) love chocolate sprinkles, nothing better then some fresh bread, and chocolate sprinkles in the morning. You can absolutely get them in hotels and the like for breakfast the mini boxes are adorable. i would also give peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles a go if you like peanut butter. :)

Didn't know it's called Hagelslag but I've eaten this plenty of times in the 90's as a child/teen in Germany. My mom always put the chocolate sprinkles in Tupperware. We'd butter some bread and dunk it butter side down in the sprinkles. Always perfect.

As a Dutchie I tend to eat more Borek for breakfast than broodje hagelslag, but I guess I’m weird like that 🤣 love that you’ve shown Dutch food though ❤

I absolutely love seeing new foods and to believe that some of these are breakfasts is even more amazing!!

Here in Belgium (soooo close to the Netherlands we have that exact same hagelslag) it is exclusively an in house breakfast or snack

Watching the last dish, the whole time I kept thinking 'please dont say burek, please dont say burek'. I understand it's difficult to recreate a dish you've never tried making (or eating) before, so kudos to you for everything! Especially with trying to pronounce every name perfectly. However, burek (pita) in Bosnia is not typically made with phyllo pastry. We make a special dough that is stretched reaaaally thinly (we use those long and thin rolling pins), then sprinkled with meat, wrapped tightly and then put into a round baking pan in circles. Burek is made with JUST meat, whereas a 'mixed' burek is made with added potatoes. There is also a saying here that a woman is ready to be married when she learns how to make pita. All that aside, I cannot express enough how happy I am to see my own country represented. I watched each episode hoping to see this so thank you!

Ow hagelslag is not just for kids and not just for breakfast (we take it along in packed lunches) or just throw it on custard (wel, vla in Dutch)

I am absolutely terrible every time I play along at home but I am so proud that I finally got one! Netherlands for the chocolate sprinkle bread.

There are SO many cuisines and dishes in the world, it shouldn't be a surprise there are ones you don't know at all!!

I am so happy I knew the first one. It came in one of my favourite books - Just One Day by Gayle Forman and it was my one and only Netherlands fact 😆

I actually got 3/4 of these spot on! I ate so much Borek when I went to Bosnia last summer, the potato ones are my fave

As a Dutchie as well i loved as child to toast my bread and spread first some peanut butter on it and then pure "Hagelslag" chocolate springels after the peanut butter was slightly melted down 🥰🍞🍫🥜

Guessed Belgium, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Croatia. Couldn't be any closer without getting one of them right. 🤣

First one was "fairy bread" from Australia, wasn't it? I just discovered you guys and you're already celebrating 13 years!! That's amazing and massive congrats!!! I've been going through your old videos and giving them a thumbs up and commenting. You have to do something HUGE for your 13th. In the USA, 13 is an unlucky number but I think 13 will be lucky for you. What are your top 13, most viewed recipes? 13 ingredient challenge? 13 minute dishes? Each of your top 13 favorite foods/dishes? I LOVE BEN!!!

My Dutch grandmother would give the chocolate sprinkles to the grandkids every time we were there when we were kids. I have not thought about this breakfast in years but instantly knew where it was from. I need to find some now as i want to have it again.

Traveled to Myanmar before, ate a lot of things, but the mohinga we had on the last morning there was the best out of everything 🤤 We had it just along the streets, from stalls that disappear by noon, with their tiny chairs. Such an experience. ❤

Funfact, Indonesia now also see bread with sprinkles as common, as in we used to be colonized by Dutch, so food influences also happens!

Best version is: toast, butter, nutella (or other chocolatepaste) and (pure) hagelslag. Was my dessert when I was younger.

You guys should do Chipa con cocido, or mbeju from Paraguay, or just cocido because almost nobody has ever heard of it or tasted it.

As a Croatian (who travels a lot) I was proud of myself for figuring all of them out, except the last one. I'm sorry guys, but I have to call you out on this one. The sesame seeds threw me off the tracks a bit. Hallal,beef yes -no pig in Bosnia (Muslims mainly), but you gotta try the real deal. It is never this crisp and light to hold up. It should be greasy, heavy and just a challenge to devour without being messy. Let me know, and I will veeeeery happily give you a tour of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia! ;-)

Happy Anniversary, lads! Here's to many happy returns of the day! ... I could really go for some burek now, actually. That looked lovely.

Hagelslag is definitely an in the home kind of breakfast. As a child I would eat it at times, but now I might actually have a version (bagel with cream cheese and hagelslag) maybe twice a year. But sandwiches are definitely one of the major elements of Dutch breakfast, that or yoghurt with granola type thing.

I actually knew two of those Hagelslag and Börek living in Germany and living close to the Dutch border in the past. Though Börek was always Turkish to me since it sold at most Döner places and usually at Turkish bakeries. Though in recent years it´s settled into the mainstream, and you can get it anywhere,

I prefer milk chocolate hagelslag over dark chocolate hagelslag and the brand used MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE! Jacques all the way

it a in the home 2:39. but yes we got it almost in every hose holed here...

@2:07 almost Ben, Almost there… we’ll tried though. Btw yes we do eat bread with sprinkles here, accompanied with a slice of bread with cheese of course😂 we tend to put this in our lunchboxes also. Huge mess… 🙄 Although it’s less and less common en I don’t think you can find it in a cafe or something. It’s way too plain for that I think. Just at the hotel breakfast

You should try throdkin, it sounds delicious. So does Ugandan katogo. If you want something traditional that nobody eats anymore and tastes disgusting, try Icelandic skyrhræringur - a mix of cold porridge and skyr. Serve with a splash of milk and a bucket in reach.

That first one (hagelslag) is basically Fairy Bread (Aussie) but less fun.

I love descriptive titles that are descriptive!

For Barry, the amount of Hagelslag was the way kids will make the sandwich. Normally you use a lot less. And yes we wanted it everyday...

I’ve tried making borek/burek before, but it was labeled as the Turkish version. But I had also seen them talk about others like Serbian so idk that I would have been able to pick out Bosnia specifically.

I love this series - I always learn something new.

I LIKE the Map zoom - Thank you!

We need a mythical kitchen sorted food crossover!!!!!

Laughed so hard when Ben pronounced Hagelslag. You tried your best hun 😂

I love this format so much. Keep em coming!

I was yelling 'North Germany' at the TV for a solid 5 minutes! But I suppose we eat a chocolate bar on bread (eszet), rather than sprinkles. Yes that matters 😂

Barry choosing a landlocked country for the dish with tuna in it really makes me think

Hello all! I love watching you. Maybe one comment on who was closer in the first challenge. Considering Greenland as part of the Denmark, technically, Barry won the first battle. Well, maybe I'm wrong judging like that, but let me know what do you think... Thank you!

I love this, first had it in the 70s in Holland :)

Next breakfast episode, include Koeksisters(Like a doughnut from the dutch word meaning cookie and sis refers to the sizzling sound) fried dough infused with either honey or syrup. Its from South Africa, usually served with a coffee in the morning.

Try a Korean roll of rice fish and seaweed. My son's grade school friend..from South Korea, Mom would send me off with these rolls as I walked the boys to school.

I would have won the last one, I was thinking of Macedonia. The filo pastry with savory food is distinctive of that whole region

I didn't realize I loved them so much, but I miss your intros!

The dish from the Maldives was interesting. I was there when I was a kid and can't remember seeing it at all. Then again, I was probably 8 and just eating pancakes and bacon lol

Hagelslag is fairly populair, idk how other ppl eat it but i fold my bread, and i dont put more than would stick to the butter 😅 hagelslag❤

Have the lads tried Brown Cheese (Brunost) yet...? Not technically a cheese, as it's made of whey, and cooked/heat treated so it has a sweet-ish flavor due to the caramelisation that's happening in the process - hence the color. In Norway, it's *the staple food*; best served on a fresh right-out-of-the-oven-still-hot piece of wholegrain bread, with a bit of butter. It is also *very* nice with a dollop of raspberry or strawberry (I prefer raspberry) jam on top or instead of the butter. Traditionally, it was made with mostly or only goat milk, but these days, the most common variety is probably the "G35" where the G stands for "goat" to indicate that there is some goat milk in the mix (roughly 10%, the remainder being cow's milk), and the 35 is the percentage of fat in the milk solids used. It is mostly eaten at breakfast or lunch, especially for school children who bring a packed lunch to school; it is also used in savory dishes sometimes, such as in the thick gravy used alongside our take on meatballs.

Kaya Toast, Soft Bail Egg, and a cup of Coffee with Condense Milk

I new the hagelslag and borek immediatly. Didn't know they were less known. The Myanmar breakfast looks delicious!

These were all new to me, they looked delicious. Next time you should have a crack at Champorado. One of the simplest and most indulgent breakfasts in existence.

Bärner Platte, Gabuns, Walliser Cholera

I was thinking Australia with the chocolate-covered bread because they have a similar thing where the hundreds and thousands on top of butter bread for birthdays

When are you going to get to Bulgaria? So close with the Burek but I'm waiting for Баница (banitsa) 😋

Im from Canada and when I was little my Mom would make this for lunch for me and we are not from the Netherlands.

Hilarious that Barry picks a landlocked country for a tuna dish 😂

Oh gods, when Ben BUTCHERED hagelslag, I felt that in my bones 😂

That first one is Fairy Bread in Australia/New Zealand

The Hagelslag reminded me of fairy bread from Australia.

Hagelslag on bread is definetly a home thing. I’ve never seen it in a cafe. And the pronounciation was well…. Interesting😂

In Germany börek has become a very popular food item that can even be found in some German bakeries /supermarkets by now. It's Thanks to the Turkish immigrants that already brought us the döner kebap sandwich. 😊

The first one is Fairy Bread from Australia! You can't fool me! There's no way another country is as crazy as Australia to come up with this!

hope they opened the Hagelslag at the side where is says ''hier openen'' not like other channels that reviewed it and ripped it open at the top

hi i would like to suggest for the next global breakfast Indonesian there area Nasi Uduk (Indonesian rice dish) or Bubur Ayam (Indonesian chicken porridge)

In Denmark we have Pålægschokolade (= thin chocolate slices/plates, a bit smaller than playing cards), instead of Hagelslag. But also eaten on bread with butter :D And you can get it as milk or dark chocolate 😁

Barry pretending to be a teenager was adorable.

Borek/Burek is made over a huge area of eastern Europe

For the bread with choco sprinkles, I was nearly yelling at the boys -''It's Dutch!!!!'' lol

I did get two full points. Some days you vine and some you don’t. Like guessing where the food is from

That doesn't look like any burek i ever saw in Sarajevo :D which is why i thought it might be Something more towards Turkey

I would love to see you guys do a very obscure, not-very-British-seeming dish from the UK as an April Fool's joke XD Also as an American, every time the boys gape at 1,000+ miles of difference, I laugh. My home state is 620 road miles from northernmost to southernmost point and I can comfortably drive that in one day, so 1,000 miles doesn't seem that far. It's so cool and interesting how whole European countries can fit into a single state. It's especially fun to see Brits gape at the distances in the USA because most of them can get to a whole other country in an hour or two while it would take an American days.

Great episode. I got zero but was dang close each time!

Again, try lángos! It's very easy to make and it's a staple of hungarian quisine.

To be fair in Vietnam, we also have a dish that is very similar to Mohinga.

I love my white bread with butter and hagelslag ^^. It is a home breakfast
