I want to see them try to cook something like omurice with Japanese instructions with pictures or try assembling those impossible Japanese candy kits meant for elementary school kids
Kate H, can't agree. If the recipe is in the language you speak, any unfamiliar terms can be researched. If a technique is unfamiliar to you, you may not do it perfectly but few things are so exact your result will be inedible.
andrineslife, they aren't really. It's internetainment, the result is omething amusing, not something perfect. Of course Ben and James do always try hard, that's why we love them.
JojoKitty 1601, I don't think it was her reaction was what he cared about. He has such a passion for food it even upset him when the frozen pizza burnt-and made him so happy when the homemade pizza worked.
Barbara Danley hahaha I know James is, although he probably wouldn't admit it, is as much a perfectionist as Ben that the mere thought of messing up Rachel's dish, a fellow chef, made him almost lose all composure is highly amusing. Imagine if they ever do a collab with Gordon Ramsay where he just sits in a corner and stares at them the entirety of the show, no comments no nothing just glaring at James 😆😆
I think you might be surprised. He's picky, but he's not the same on RU-vid as he is on TV. They might even have fun swapping recipes and tips. I don't watch a lot of him, he's just not my kind of entertainment, and I could never afford his recipes on my budget. It is fun to learn new things though, so I do watch him occasionally. Sorted food is usually MUCH more my kind of fun. I don't like all their videos (esp the eating at a restaurant ones), but they do make me laugh, and I enjoy laughing.
I remember cooking Rachel Khoo's chouquette recipe for a school exam once. It failed terribly, but even the fail tasted so good they gave me full marks! Loved this, especially James' unexpected panic :'D Good on you for taking advantage of bilinguality, Bennuendo.
The confection fudge (I am only familiar with the north American variety) is a fondant that has been botched completely. Sometimes as TV art teacher Bob Ross would say "happy accidents".
As i Swede im quite impressed by his Swedish pronunciation . I could understand most of it when he was reading. I liked this new concept . You should do this "challenge" again . Nice job !
@@nordscan9043 Well to be fair it's really hard when you have no reference what they are even supposed to sound like. It's like giving us hieroglyphs and expecting us to be able to pronounce them.
Swede here. I'd never heard of the dish. At first I thought you were saying "sjösjuka" which is not in any way a dish but the Swedish word for "sea sickness". That being said, I think you did an amazing job tackling the swedish. You actually did a really good job with a lot of the pronunciation. Well done. Fun vid, I'll be sure to check out some more.
Was thinking the same when watching it, never heard or seen anything like it. Even if it’s an foreign dish influenced by Sweden, can’t even see the influence… I guess we like our pickles and we do put cream in everything ;)
Yeah, but whenever Friends and food come up, I am always reminded of that line from Joey. My cousin experimented with "cooking" and used mayo instead of whipped cream to get something with the appearance of a jello parfait/desert. It was pretty but tasted as you would expect.
This reminds me of when my best friend gave me his grandmother's recipe for spatzel and sour braten (yes I spelled that wrong.) He just forwarded the email his mother sent me. When I downloaded the file it was CONPLETELY in German and this was before Google translate. Needless to say it was a very crash course in German. The food was... well... edible
It'll be even more hilarious if you pick a language that doesn't even use the roman alphabet (though in that case you could use an audio recording of the recipe)
Really interesting concept, i always like the Vs - I was half expecting Surstromming to be involved though. Would have loved to see Barry's reaction to a well made Surstromming dish.
Shakshuka - en rätt från mellanöstern, ägg pocherade i kryddig tomatsås. Normalt. Antar att göra den "svensk" är att korsa den med spenatsoppa med ägghalvor. Plus dill!
Oh boy. I have to say, I am impressed at how good James and Ben were with the pronounciation. I would slap a sticker saying "Official Swedish Ambassador" on them any time.
Being Swedish, this was just hilarious to watch! 😂 The pronunciation was quite bad (Ben had more of a German ring to everything he said), but you did a great job translating in the end! More videos/challenges like this would be awesome! :D
Been waiting for this all day! And it was so satisfying - finally chefs realise what its like to be a normal! James was adorable and ahhh Ben is going to taken out of context forever as that clip will invariably spread over the internet.
@@KaiPonVisp sålänge dom inte försöker göra spettekaka så 😂 då skulle man ju skämmas ihjäl 🤔 fast hade velat se dom försöka sig på riktig surströmming istället för att hänga på tåget där dom enbart reagerar på lukten när dom öppnar burken på fel sätt (man gör det under vatten lol) och sen äter den direkt utan att skölja av och lägga på tunnbröd/knäckebröd med annat på...
Love your videos you inspire me I’m just a 13 year old and I started cooking and baking because of u guys so thank u so much for inspiring me to do what I do
The only time I see Rachel Khoo was when she was a Paris trained chef and she ran a restaurant from her apartment. A very educational series which was on BBC two many years ago. It's nice to see her again.
As a Swede, I wish they would have done a proper Swedish recipe. :/ Hilarious as always, hearing people trying to pronounce Swedish, especially the letters å, ä, and ö.
yeah it's actually a mediterranean dish, dont know how the hell it ended up as a 'swedish shakshuka' but as someone who grew up eating this and still eats it every week hearing the words 'swedish shakshuka' is just too weird and kinda cringy
This was super awesome and fun XD Having been to sweden myself last christmas with my girlfriend and her family i learned some basic ingredient names, wich made this whole video both educational and fun. Especially the first mistakes. ^^ (Perhaps swedish seems easy to me because my first language is german?)
Just a tip, if you're gonna write the ingredients in Swedish, make sure you translate it correctly and check your spelling! Sweden's watching. (There's no such thing as vitt vin vinäger.)
They were probably giving you hate stares and not weird looks, seeing as it's entirely anti social and a dick move to listen to something without headphones on public transport. Next time you don't have headphones, save the video for later
I'm very impressed! You guys got it mostly right, and bonus points for realizing your mistake at the beginning. Also, additional kudos to Ben for his language skills, and props to James for not stroking out. Cooking is about creation, which includes mistakes and failures from time to time. Some of the greatest inventions in history were discovered by mistake, so keep up the good work guys!
Because swedish and english are actually really closely related. Lots of words are similar so especially written it is quite easy to guess. Ägg - egg, spenat - spinach, mjölk - milk, peppar - pepper. No idea how they guessed muskot was nutmeg though. 🤔
@@lemonielala3080 i assume they look what they have and then assume .. that worked with distinguish red onion and onion since both appear in the recipe and since muskot is rather easy to distingish by shape smell and a nutmeg ... also at least the german word would be muskat so i guess thats also a way to get a close guess
absolutely cackled at dad joke this week, and at poor james who has never looked so panicked in the history of sorted. ben's delight at being a kock is adorable
Well, it is as Swedish as kåldolmar, makaroner med falukorv, falukorv etc. De är även rätter som kan spåras till turkiet, italien och tyskland. Så med många andra "svenska" rätter. Detta kan mycket väl bli vår nästa kåldolme eller makaronilåda. Vill du ha en ganska genuint svensk rätt, prova Surströmmingslåda.
@@AndersJackson Det är en jävla skillnad på att jämföra något som har utländska rötter, vilket så gott som allt har (inklusive jag själv), men som har ätits i många generationer och något de allra flesta svenskar aldrig hört talas om... Jag har inga problem med shakshuka, det är säkert gott, men du måste hålla med om att det var ett ganska udda val av recept :-P
Tja, jag tror ju inte att du har ätit dig själv.("... vilket så gott som allt har (inklusive jag själv), men som har ätits i många..."). :-) :-) Men seriösare, det finns många svenska rätter som flesta svenskar inte har ätit eller ens hört talas om, som stekt blikta, surmört, luad ål, ålsoppa, lammskalle, eller för den delen surströmming etc. Ja, jag håller med. Det var ett ganska udda val av recept, men det var skrivet på svenska och det gör det iofs till ett svenskt recept, även om det var Shakshuka. Vad Shakshuka är, vet jag inte riktigt, men det ser ut som om det skulle kunna vara en svensk rätt. Men jag skulle kunna ha ätit det i någon av de restauranger som jag provat på.
@@AndersJackson Uttryckte mig lite fel kanske, tänkte bara poängtera att det är få saker som är riktigt "svenska" om man ska hårddra det... Sorry! Shakshuka är i orginalvarianten ägg kokta i en kryddig tomatsås, vanligast i Nordafrika och Mellanöstern. Mexikanarna har en variant på det som heter huevos rancheros, inte riktigt samma sak men nära nog. Här har hon uppdaterat det med saker som kan verka svenskt, spenatstuvning och dill. Äter hellre det här än mört dock, det e ingen höjdare enligt mig... :-/
@Hendrik Thyselius, så du har ätit surmört? (Jag drog dig i benet bara, för lite Svengelska) Så då är det ju en svensk Shakshuka? Spenatstuvning och dill... Ja, ja. Det viktiga var ju om de skulle klara svenska.
I got so excited when I saw there was a new video! I also love how when you realized you messed up with the onion and chili at the beginning, you just rolled with it and created a different, but still delicious dish!
This episode was really funny. Seeing James flustered and Ben still chilling just shows how he doesn't overthink things, he just goes for the solutions to the problems.
ben figuing out the first part they did wrong= glorious. seeing james just keeling over from how much they fail thus far is hilarious. also wow; James is pretty good at pronouncing the swedish words, kudos.
I like this idea as a concept! You could search for a Italian chef who writes his recipe in Italian, a dutch chef who writes his recipe in dutch, a French chef who writes his recipe in French, and so on for every language spoken in Europe.... And, off course, let Ben and James do the cooking! "Sorted's translation challenge"...
I'm ridiculously excited for this!!! Rachel is one of my favorite chefs ever and her paired with the sorted crew?! awesome!! Loved her book Little Paris Kitchen!
Being british/Swedish I always find it fascinating to see how people who don't know Swedish interpret it. They did pretty well, though the accents were atrocious haha x
This was absolutely beautiful! I don't think I have laughed this much in a long time 😂 😂😂. James did look like a dear in head lights 😂😂😂 this was amazing, loved the concept ❤❤❤
Being swedish, I must say that this video truly made my day! It did take some time realising that all the ingredients were named in swedish on screen, it just felt so right, haha.
