Taste Testing Global Ingredients We’ve Never Tried Before! | Sorted Food 

That's not just smutty, it's downright corn-o-graphic!

@@CavemanSynthesizer An A-Maize-ing Partnership!

Growing up in the American Midwest we had a few ears with smut on them. Simply uprooted and burned the plants. Never recurred.

​@@annainspain5176 sure in a large scale it might work but here where it's just a couple rows and it came from the soil it probably wouldn't

So, how often do you tell people you made smut with your neighbors?

Just classic Sorted Food, and I'm now remembering the battle where Izzy had the hiccoughs and I'm wondering how often one of the team is giggling so much, but fighting to be quiet, that they give themselves the hiccoughs.

A truly beautiful Sorted wattpad moment

I have zero boundaries, my smut can vouch.

So much smut 😂 ben is at it again with the ben-uendos

I'm almost sure there was some cum-in involved too

Was literally shoveling some into my face while I watched this thinking “I guess I could put these on a salad or something, but nah”

I second this! I LOVE me some ice cider. Obvs it's nice with a slapdash charcuterie mix (like a few slices of good prosciutto, golden berries, and whatever OKA hasn't gone bad in my fridge, lol), but I think it also pairs excellently with Korean bbq!

Oh my gosh, yum! Which brand would you recommend? Gonna see if we can get it on the UK

There used to be a winery just outside Montreal that made eiswein. I'd get a bottle or two every year. I haven't seen them in years.

@@chesca7295 sandford orchards make a UK version

​@@KenS1267 Eiswein is very traditional here in Austria and also Germany! It's not my favourite, but after food or with cheese.. ;)

Yeah, that's the general cultural context I've always understood it in. You do it for people you're close to, especially family.

I know of flipping the chopsticks and using the other ends for doing something like that, but don't really see the problem either way.

Well, from my own perspective I wouldn't really appreciate if a person I'm meeting for the first time used their own fork which has already been to their mouth, to serve me something. Feels a bit disgusting to be honest. Chopsticks are a bit different, but not that much imo.

I've seen similar manners experssed in Chinese culture.

Not to be that person, but this was also a debate on a BTS show, where the Bangtan boys had to debate about whether it was appropriate or not. From the girlfriend's perspective it's showing an attraction to the bestie better left alone.

That has to be something that everyone on the planet knows.

A very big guilty pleasure is a left out crisps 😂 I don't know some types just taste better stale plus it's a weird ass texture lmao

@@jackthemagiccat4571 Cheese puffs that have been left out for a bit is a guilty pleasure for me..

I have a vegetarian resident I have to cook for so I'm very interested in this one, would you tell me more?

indeed fresh is better looking,but the canned version does work great.

Man, I had some that did mutate off my corn last year but found it way too late. I've always wanted to try it :(

I disagree, the fresh stuff looks nasty as hell, looks like a tick after it has had a full meal, that has died and got covered in mold.

@@Psylaine64 It is literally a fungus that grows on the corn kernels. They turn blue/black and get much larger. The flavor, fresh I also had no idea they were ever canned, is like a merger of a truffle/really good mushroom and corn. For it was treated as a pest and whole fields were burned to eradicate it so people who used it culinarily had a hard time finding any. Now farmers will hold off destroying it to let foragers get some before destroying the affected plants or, depending on the prices of corn and huitlacoche, let it spread in the hopes of making more from selling the fungus than they would have from selling the unaffected corn. You can use it anywhere you'd use mushrooms. There are lots of Mexican and Central American recipes involving it as well. That quesadilla they did is the classic basic recipe.

Right - they come from different varietals, taste different, and are used very differently Perilla frutescens vs Perilla frutescens var. crispa (shiso)

oh damn, i'm now craving kheer

there’s a wasabi flavoured packet version and that’s my fave

oh no, dont tell him that, ebbers is gonna end up putting them in his garden XD

I grew them last year for first time. Red and green. They are beautiful and I'll probably grow more but I can't eat them. I'm a super taster and just like cilantro perilla has a very off putting taste to me. It smells interesting but can't eat it. But the deer and rabbit left it alone too. I may add it to my flower beds to just fill them out. The blooming plants are incredibly pretty too. I will gladly give them to any of my Asian neighbors who like them.

I’m hoping to grow some out in the Rockies this year. From what I’ve read/heard we have a bit harder time getting them established here, but then they take off. 🤞🤞

They do get invasive. I’ve been places where it’s everywhere. And they have a very distinctive smell when you brush up against them or step on them. Somewhere between mint, oregano, and basil.

Its in the mint family, it will take over if you don't plant it in containers or block it off somehow.

We all need to live in a world where putting your meat in a friend's mouth is a nice thing :)

Eh . . . . no, not quite. It can be friendship, but it can also be excessively intimate for different relationships, and I know a fair number of folks who would not take kindly to their significant other putting the food on their friend's plate. You might hold something down so they can more easily lift it, but more is . . . well, a bit much. People do not generally feed each other directly like that unless they're related or dating. Friends do not put stuff in their friends mouths for them as a general nice, friendly, and not too intimate gesture.

or tajin! on mango, on cucumbers........ om nom.

Same. I was like "Oh! Is this going to be like a black wood-ear fungus or moss or something like that?" and then it was Huitlacoche and I was like "OH! That makes sense too... Why didn't I think of that to begin with?"

He mentioned doing them tempura in the video.

From Asia here. For the longest time whenever beef wellington came up in a SortedFood video, I thought they meant _duckcell_ .... 😂

A very important distinction that will probably be lost among the 500+ comments here. Lotus seeds are collected above water but the fox nuts are released into the water and sink to the bottom. This may be 2.5 metres deep and so the harvesters have to dive to collect them. "Harvesting of seeds from bottom starts in month of September and continues till December - January. The nuts then are sundried, roasted and immediately thrashed by a wooden hammer." The plants are also very spiny so difficult to work with. "Traditional Methods of Harvesting and Processing of Makhana (Euryale ferox Salisb.) Adopted in Araria District of Bihar" by RK Jalaj et al.

It’s great. It’s sometime called Beef Steak leaves because idk imo it kinda has the texture of perfectly cooked beef and tastes meaty too.

Thanks so much! 😊

I'll check it out! 👍

Ajvar ❤

They tested ajvar when they had pljeskavica and cevapi in two of their street food vids.

Cel-ray tequila and a bit of salt is 🥊💯

@@oshada that sounds fantastic

Get well soon!

❤️🙏✌️✝️

Congratulations on the surgery! My partner had a pituitary adenoma and after 2 resectionings and after gamma-radio therapy, its down 33% and decreasing. Take the recovery easy, you'll be back up soon, and enjoy the rest of your life! ❤❤❤

Bless you. A fast recovery to you dear. All the best.

You have been posting this exact same post for a long time. Using cancer for karma farming is abominable.

If you have an Asian supermarket near you at all, you might find Perilla leaf kimchi in the chilled section, I've found its becoming easier to find in my city in that form. Equally in some Korean BBQ places you may be able to get it if they have found a fresh supplier.

Imagine how happy TikTok was to have the flood of new users 😂

Yep... Even Mike and Jamie seemed surprised

Not me either 😂 You learn something new every day 😅😂

I agree. I also kind of disagree with up-branding in general. Having to make something from a native culture seem more refined to appeal to the colonized western world just seems extra icky.

I thought it'd be something along the lines of Boozy Uncle, For the amount Ben likes to drink.😂

The ones I've had aren't as big as grape leaves, like smaller than my palm, so it'd be difficult to fold all the way. The're really good as ssam though!

The whole "rebranding" discussion was bizarre to me. Huitlacoche is just huitlacoche and I live days from Mexico. It isn't common where I live, or available at all as far as I know, but it's talked about commonly enough that people stopped mentioning that it was a Mexican delicacy years ago.

⁠@@adde9506yea it was weird. It reminded me of the “spa water” trend on TikTok a year or two ago or Food & Wine Mag calling conchas “brioche-style” rolls. I’ve been watching their channel for almost 10 years though, so I’m just going to give the benefit of the doubt here.
