Why these dishes made History… 

omg yessss, this would be such a great idea

Yes!!

amazing idea!!!

Yes!!

That is a fantastic idea!

That's very out of character!

You'll notice right after that he has a steak knife in his hand and the beef has slices taken out of it in the close up so looks like that was forkful number 2

He's improved

You want a nice bed for the pound of beef to rest on.

Well but it was the salad with Lobster. i would give your comment a thumb up, but i like the devilish touch (beeing 666 likes, when i write this answer) 😂

same dude! i am so absolutely horrid at history

Oh my, this makes me feel so old 😢

I'm not entirely horrid at history but it seems the book Ben draws from skews heavily towards 20th century history and that's not my strong suit - it's often more sort of cultural references than what I think of as "real" history. ETA: Basically, yeah, this was within my lifetime, why the heck would I think of some fancy airplane flight that happened within my lifetime. I was thinking something to do with the EU. A now defunct plane that was a sort of dead end? Made history? I think it's too recent to say with any confidence whether it really did. So I got "Ken and Graham" in the previous one - I happen to be sort of accidentally collecting different editions of that book. The rest leaves me mostly lost. 🫤 And it's kind of a shame because I love the concept. Further ETA: Did not expect myself to get so salty about the Concorde, but apparently for some inexplicable reason I am. 😅 But I think mainly it's the disappointment - I watch Tasting History and Townsends, so Elvis & the Concorde were... a bit of a letdown. 🙄

I’m glad it’s not only me that gets no assistance from any of Ebbers’ clues 😂😂 I always feel really dumb when he gives the guys a hint, I still have no idea what the answer could be but the guys find the clues really helpful 😂😂

I agree! And remembering all the facts and cooking too! Ben surprising us all the time 😊

Ben has always worked relentlessly and without a shadow of a doubt deserves every bit of success from the Sorted brand. Growing from a group of friends who had a laugh together into a globally recognised content provider who have expanded their name to become a commercial brand by selling channel related merchandise, creating numerous cookbooks, partnering with other companies such as the distillery to provide their very own gin as well as creating a mobile app that helps people in their everyday lives to save them money which is constantly being worked on to improve it further and make changes that benefit the users by adapting to the climate of the time. They deserve every shred of success because for over 13 years now they have worked tirelessly to make the channel and the brand better and always looking to improve. They’ve brought us so many memories to bring us joy and outside that still continue to support their fans and it’s all derived from their constant efforts that have blossomed the channel from an unknown entity of four friends having a laugh into a globally recognised group who entertain, educate and remain connected with their fans by always putting their followers first and doing what they believe is in the best interests of the community rather than doing what they think will benefit them and to make a strong and stable career with your friends that let’s them live comfortably is an amazing achievement and only a tiny portion of the success they’ve built for themselves. There aren’t many other channels that have been able to attract a fanbase across the globe and despite not being the most highly subscribed channel have still made an impact across the world, getting interactions from fans worldwide and the thing that makes them special is the fact that they respond to their fans and continually strengthen the bond they have with the community

I love history videos that are presented in a way that's not straightforward dates and events!

So glad you enjoy this type of video. They're a lot of fun to make.

Def!

@@Eutrofication do you fallow eating history with maxmiller?

That’s a fantastic idea! It’s so difficult to understand those recipes, it’d be lots of fun to watch :)

Just get Max Miller on, lol

They’d have to bring James back and make him cook from it.

@@SamSphinx That is his favorite book. He live for that book🥘

@@sylvieseguin9057 that, and Apicius.

oooh yes that could be really fun and neat

OG Iron Chef, I'd be so down to watch that! Yes please!

Not sure if they can afford the amount of truffles, foie gras, and abalone used hahaha

Omg yes!

Brilliant

Sonic boom

The boom gave it away to me!

That would explain why he said "You want to win or to lose?" To lose could be Toulouse where the Concord was being built.

I got it at 2.12 when Ben said do you want to win or Toulouse, huge Concorde fan and have various books written by some of the pilots.

Yeah same

Well done!

I thought you were right until he said 1979 Chablis.

sigh spoilers...

@Noble I mean yeah, spoilers. You insisted on reading comments where there were inevitably gonna be spoilers...and you got them. No one's shocked. Except you😆

The trick is to have snacks ready and waiting :)

@@SortedFood What if you don't have any food ready and no budget? :3

@@vennexus Ramen = $0.25 or it is here, lived off it and potatoes in college lol

I’m sure you have had Breakfast in a Can in college or something too.

@@SortedFood precisely! I always make my lunch before sitting down to watch. Today was some Asian inspired noodles. It didn't happen today but I love it when what I make lines up with whatever you guys are.

Yeah, I love this series! The history is so interesting and Ben’s hints and clues are really fun :)

These are so good on a second watch for that!

You mean the one he literally dropped

Excellent 👏

@@SortedFood Ty ty

I was thinking of Toulouse Lautrec and I got stuck on art.

That was quick! ... But which industry: Professional catering, travel, or both?

Brilliant! 👏

@@broshmosh Cabin Crew - the one who does the pouring at 8am!

Then you've got A LOT of content to go back through! Enjoy! I bet you watch the whole run of Pass It On in one sitting!

Me too! and now I'm binging pass it on series lol

Do you cook much? Or are we tempting you into trying it?

So glad you enjoyed the video and the food too!

I was so set on the troubles between England and NI

Same. I was thinking between Germanies reuniting and USSR/USA peace talks

Yeah, I thought Ben dropping the bloc(k) was a big hint. Still not sure what that symbolized.

Yeah, I was also thinking fall of the Berlin wall. Couldn't think of a venue that symbolized peace between two nations though. Certainly not The White House, lol.

Very ON the mark!

Impressive!!

👀

But then why mention a 1979 Chablis?

Toulouse I missed that hint ! Very clever !

I mean I headed towards India's independence because the clarified butter is ghee, mangos, a treaty between two nations, 1960ish etc

I was also thinking Versailles

Funnily enough, it was exactly the same for me.

@@albuseisenhorn3385 yeah I was convinced it would be an independence celebration

I was sure it was some sort of treaty at Versailles

Enjoy your posh night Alex!

My mind went there first too!

Aahh, he said 1969…. I am 57 years out 🤦🏼‍♂️

I thought it might be this but then I remembered that I actually do know some of the dishes served on the Titanic - and that they're surprisingly disappointing.

@@mikelaw4120 I'm thinking it's even more modern than that now tbh! Maybe 80s-90s?

I thought that too, but surely lobster + mango would only be invented in the more modern era where people can access both ingredients fairly easily

Good detective skills! 🕵

Mike is the most normal overall, Barry the most pretentious, and Jamie's taste in cooking is the most representative of a blue collar or agricultural worker.

@@no_activity Yes! I couldn't find the words to describe Jamie, but that's it perfectly! My daughter says that Barry and Jamie are almost not normals anymore because of all the know and can do. Mike, bless his heart, is definitely still normal and we love him for it!

@@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686 my thought is that Mike is just as knowledgeable and competent as the other two, he just panics under pressure. I'm sure all three create excellent meals on a regular basis.

@@no_activity Oh yeah, I agree. When given the time needed they could all make some great stuff. However, that inner panic button Mike has makes him more normal and fabulous to watch.

Me too.

8:35 I sold on the concorde flights, the sonic boom that would be caused from them getting up to speed would break windows around the airports they flew out of.

Oh, I was just completely off. Ah, damn.
