Salted duck eggyolks have my vote. They are versatile: mooncakes, rice dumplings, snacks (fried fish skin, popcorn, potato chips/crisps), and "big" dishes like the lobster one you had. I have tried (with success) making the following dishes with an eggyolk sauce: cubed wintermelon, zucchini, and even tofu; prawns and chicken wings also match well with these special yolks.
I'm surprised Mike didn't mention the camel milk date shake that he, Jamie and James had in Dubai. Date syrup is common in grocers now so if he just combined that with the milk, he could reminisce on all the memories he made there... ...Mainly the giant catapult.
omg thank you! i did think "didn't they have camel milk before?" but couldn't remember when... i guess the catapult was what stood out from that trip to mike, lol
In the Philippines, salted duck egg is most commonly eaten like a salad: chopped up salted duck egg, sliced tomatoes, and onions. Really good and side dish with fried or grilled meats and rice. Recently though it’s in everything: steamed buns, chicken wings, potato chips, cakes, ice cream
Salted duck eggs are the best!!! As a kid, my mom would mix chopped up salted eggs with tomato as a side salad to grilled fish or even on the side for breakfast. So yummy! 🤤
Maybe you could try one of those mushroom growing kits next. I recently had one with pink oyster mushrooms, it was fascinating to watch grow and they were delicious. I'd love to see what you'd do with them!
The camel milk feels unsustainable except in countries that already have camels. We really should be focusing on animals already existing in each country/continent.
Exactly- I love the idea of supporting small, sustainable farmers in other countries that may be less fortunate than us. But I don't think camel milk is the way to do that. I imagine the travel and the new, unfitting environment stress the heck out of the camels, not to mention how difficult and finicky they are to milk on a good day. There are plenty of milks out there for lactose intolerant people or people with allergies already anyhow. And with that price? What average, low to middle class consumer could afford it as a replacement for milk anyhow?
When we drove across Holland, back in the days when travel was still possible, we were surprised to go past a field of camels among the fields of cattle, and now I know why!
I think the camel milk isn’t a really good alternative to be honest. I mean, camel’s aren’t really native to Europe, so the process of sending them there, breeding them, and milking them is way too much for a problem (i.e. alternatives for people that can’t have cows or goats milk) that is already resolved or have plenty other alternatives (i.e. plant milk, or lactose free cows milk). I think if they had started this in Australia, where there are camels, cost wise it make more sense and people will buy more of them. But with the current price, I don’t see how the business is sustainable.
You're probably right about starting the business in Australia. The milk is extremely expensive to buy it as part of your regular weekly shop for example.
My first thought was exactly that: why isn't this something that is being done in Australia, which has the largest population of feral/domestic camels. Turns out they already have a commercial-scale camel dairy, started in 2015.
Also, the claim that camels milk does not contain any hormones seems to be dubious at best. Mammal milk naturally contains hormones, including human breast milk. Why would camel milk be an exception here?
About the ethical meat, im a environmental science student and it isn't just the rearing of animals that pumps a lot of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere its the entire farming industry. Transport is half of the emissions farming produces, but there is also problems where excessive fertilizers (nitrogens) are running off and entering water sources like ponds, rivers etc which over time as toxicity increases it disturbs balances within water sources. example: ponds/ little lakes you sometimes see where theres this green layer of algae on top, its a dead body of water the only thing thriving in it is algae. In short its all farming practices that will need to change and adapt to ensure the least amount of environmental damage possible as well as people eating less meat and also eating seasonally too.
Hopefully they are also addressing those issues, at least some of them. The fact they mentioned biodiversity gave me abit of hope but will have to see. Yeah, food miles is a massive issue why so many things associated with a vegan diet end up problematic due to the large distances they are shipped, if only more people used local markets / greengrocers and accepted they needed to eat seasonally and can't expect all fruit in middle of winter
There’s many cities in the US where the water is undrinkable because of slaughterhouses being on the rivers that feed into the damns. And the run off from them kills the water, it’s also how the salmonella outbreak in romane lettuce in America started. Run off from slaughterhouse getting into the water supply used to water the crops.
@@deeRex56786 that's a management issue that most places have managed to avoid. Erosion and soil degradation from broadacre monocropping somehow doesn't get enough exposure, particularly among vegans
The problem is you may get a few western nations to go along with it but the largest and most rapidly growing countries aren't going to do anything like you're suggesting. Until we can find a way to get them on board we're really just spinning our wheels.
My idea would to do some cooking or reviews to travel distance (eg how far each ingredient had to travel and the shortest distance in total wins) Like cook local grown locally.
Sadly, here is the big issue: The farmers/developers of these products whether it be the meat, milk and so on have a more expensive process and therefore pass the charges to the consumer, logical BUT the 6 to 10 times cost doesn't make it accessible to most people who can't afford and/or justify the excessive amount of the so called "sustainable product". Mom can I have my Frosted Flakes cereal with the $15.00 camel's milk.....me thinks no kiddo!
When many of the foods we now take for granted hit the local markets originally, they were also prohibitively expensive. Time and ingenuity, as well as market saturation, reduced the cost to the lower prices we now accept as regular. In some areas many of the foods we buy for a dollar or pound are still very expensive (I know of a place where a half gallon of milk still costs about $20). But people supporting and buying the products, even as an occasional luxury, primed the market for lower costs. These products can easily drop in price if people would take the incentive to purchase them. As an added aside, in the US portion sizes are out of control. Mainly due to the inexpensive nature of many of our staple foods. A bowl of cereal with 2-3 cups of milk is a very common breakfast item. But if that milk costs $25 a gallon you can bet parents would be regulating how much they and their children consume. This would have an effect on over consumption, and might help to reduce the obesity issues we are facing.
This exactly. What most people don't seem to catch is there's a *reason* that food production is the way it is. People didn't just wake up one day and decide to make it this way, no, It's this way in order to reduce costs as much as possible while producing as much as possible. Farming and ranching was done on a sustainable level at various points of the rather wide human history by various people, yet, as civilization spreads there's less and less land for such amongst the multitudes of people. We can't just have wide swaths of a city cordoned off for food production. The unfortunate fact is that unless the amount of farmers and ranchers increase and they each increase the amount of product they can sustainably produce, there simply won't be enough product to get the prices down to a level that is, itself, sustainable.
@@akakscase I always try to get the best product possible with sustainability in mind BUT that's not feasible for many large families, you think a $25.00 gallon of milk will be acceptable, a family of 4 or 5 will go through that in a day or so. Also, what will happen to the farmers and/or the developers that exist now selling the lesser products to survive, forgetting the bigger companies, which some get from local growers, they'll be put out of business, the jump from $2.00 per gallon to $25.00 is just not reasonable, its too stark of a difference. In this video, Ben says the pork that Jamie had was $3.25 (or so) and the "upgrade" is $12.00 that's a huge markup, yes a better product perhaps but at an astronomical increase.
EXACTLY. It's really nice to be able to afford the sustainable, environment friendly, super great pat yourself on the back because you feel good foods, but... can we work on making sure literally everyone has enough to eat on the planet first? And, it's not your or my fault that the planet is going to shit. It's literally giant corporations dumping their garbage in everyone else's either it be farmland, animals' habitats, etc. that is causing the problems we are facing. Let's take them to task, and then we can have ethical camel milk or whatever.
@@akakscase Well sure and if there was any framework in place to increase scalability of these products you might have a point. What the end result is of your argument is pricing 'normals' out of the majority of these products, even with scalability, with them only able to afford lesser or knock off versions. People won't spend more to afford the 25 dollar milk, they'll only be able to buy soy/oat/plant milk with the real thing reserved for the rich. Same with meat, Sorted staff will be able to afford the massive markup on meat and the subsequent increase in quality. The rest of us will be stuck with the spam made from the unusable parts of the 11 dollar meat with the chance to have a steak maybe once a week or month. Your proposal is essentially the reintroduction of class based food. The rich get the choice cuts of high quality and the poor will be left with the offal.
i’m so happy you got to include salted duck egg! as an indonesian, this is definetely something that i’ve had for quite a while and i’m so curious on how you’d experiment with this ingredient. apart from having it as a sauce on a breaded protein (chicken, fish, shrimp, crab are very common), it is also SO good cooked as a filling in a salted egg bun (can be found at dim sum places). and a few years ago, the company Irvins went hugely popular making salted egg potato chips and salted egg salmon skin (you should try these, you can probably find these at asian supermarkets). anyway, i’d LOVE to see you guys using more of salted duck egg, maybe on a cooking battle????
@@nihlify Either that or crack them under water in a bowl. Water gets under to the thin film between the white and the shell, loosening it. It ends up making the shell extremely easy to peel.
I've seen the ice pops being sold here too in grocery stores and I was contemplating on buying some, but I was a bit apprehensive. Maybe I'll go and try some. But imo, the salted egg yolks are definitely the most versatile. They are also easy to make from scratch with regular egg yolks and i've seen them used in a lot of ways from just putting them in a bowl of congee to freezing the yolk solid and grating it over a pork chop or salad. The possibilities are endless.
I'm never completely sure about "ethical meats". That only works in combination with reduction is conception, as as far as I know the country can't be supplied with ethical farming practices. Which in the end it makes it mostly a feel good move for the well off. But it's something. Essentially what Ben said.
I mean cultured meat is definitely ethical, but not something we're (yet) able to produce on a large scale. Hunted meat is ethical if you hunt ethically and only take game animals in-season.
@@onwardtowaffles Right, with you there, but that's usually not marketed as ethical, even though it is. Primarily meaning scaled down farming, which is unrealistic on its own.
@@onwardtowaffles hunting seasons weren't designed for ethical reasons. Many seasons were created to coincide with either the prime fur condition, or the easiest time to harvest an animal. For example: deer herds can be culled year round by game wardens, even though the dear season is usually in the fall.
My bigger short-term problem is Mike saying that good quality pork doesn´t have to get cooked through. Ethical farming doesn´t necessarily reduce parasite risk.
sorry that's just not accuate. Meat raised using regenertive farming can have a net negative impact on GW. Animals like cows and bison can actually sequester a ton of carbon which can be used to regeneate the soil. The real issue when it comes to food and global warming relates to the destrucion of the soil (tilling soil to plant veg releases a ton of carbon dioxide AND destroys the soil) tasty animals are actually the solution to the problem.
Same. It’s an easy find in any Asian market and it could almost be a staple food in my family growing up. I’m almost offended that a centuries-old, wide-spread food is now a “trend”. I get that it’s more about how it’s uniquely used in recipes, but seeing it be introduced as a trend to people unfamiliar with it makes it feel like a novelty toy.
@Morgan Grace yes. I agree they handled it well. I think I get the weird offense feeling from past experiences like when people used to do century egg eating challenges. I know a lot of people now are more respectful of other cultures, but not everyone's there yet.
@Morgan Grace Exactly. This trend at least isn’t like the old ones. The “How does this exist? How do people eat this? Let’s try eating 100 of them,” trends. Food I liked eating was used as a challenge in the same way as eating a 5lb bag of sugar free gummy bears and suffering obvious consequences. Now it’s gourmet.
Would love to see the normals make a dish then turn it in to “baby” food. It would mean you can’t go to wild with flavour but you could come up with some stunning dishes.
First time I absolutely recognize one of these “trends.” We buy those salty duck eggs like every few weeks. And I have to disagree with Ebers: my Chinese husband loves eating them straight up as a salty snack. I mean, it’s way more protein than chips 🤷♀️
I also do that, but I also eat honey, cream cheese, and pickled mustard root by itself and I recognize that I am not supposed to. because all of those things are condiments.
Here’s the thing with dairy. Yes people like to explore other options but recently we had a brucella outbreak due to people eating unpasteurized dairy products. One of those was camel milk. I think you should explain the safest way to get these products and explain some of the downsides to these.
There's really only one 'safe' way to consume unpasteurized dairy: get it from the farm the day it's milked, and use it same-day or next-day at the latest.
Completely agree! I feel like a lot of the ingredients Sorted look at take into consideration allergies but never people who may be immuno compromised and due to that these "solutions" don't work for everyone.
@@onwardtowaffles And even then it isn't completely safe. My whole family got brucellosis from drinking unpasteurised milk (free to us from the family farm!) some 50 years ago now. Probably a lot safer today, if you can get it (and so much nicer than the shop stuff).
@@AnnabelSmyth brucellosis (like TB) was quite common 50 years ago. Australian dairy heards have been brucellosis and TB free for almost 40 years. I wonder why more places have managed this
To be fair, westerners may know salted duck egg yoke a lot earlier than recent food trend - from the famous Chinese lotus mooncake with salted egg yokes in it. Right now chefs just try to implement it in dishes.
7:34 What Ben said is what I appreciated the most in this part. As someone eating a plant-exclusive diet for the environmental reasons, I think we often forget that regenerative farming will not feed the world if we continue to eat as much animal products as we do toady and we need both - regenerative practices and reduction in meat consumption. Very good point! One thing worth mentioning is that meat is cheap greatly because of the subsidies so we don't really see it real price, not even mentioning the planetary costs so it actually should be more expensive and people should treat it more like something special than a commodity.
Guys, only you are able to convince me that products like meat or chocolate SHOULD be more expensive and I am like: well, they are completely right... You are a living proof that educating people brings far better results than forcing anyone to change habits and for that - THANK YOU SORTED! PS. If you ever plan to make another episode about weird food, try polish soup called "flaki" - it is pretty weird.
Love these trends but just on the camels milk (especially after following the meat and climate sustainability) how sustainable to the environment can it be to import milk from other countries vs English milk? Think this would be worth looking at :)
Vs British milk it's particularly stupid. Britain has a lot of farming land that can only reliably be grazed to harvest calories. A couple of local farms are trying something new, solar panel farm AND sheep on the worst grazing fields.
Yeah, I thought the branding of camel milk as sustainable is sus because there's no way it's more sustainable in 90% of the world than whatever your local milk is. Cows might not be good for the environment generally but they're raised on my doorstep so the food miles are a thousand times lower
420g of pork for £2.something is borderline criminal. It just shouldn’t be that cheap. The problem isn’t that the ethical meat is expensive, it’s that we’ve demanded the price of produce is far lower than it really should be.
Did Sorted ever rebuild their kitchen, or did that idea get pút on hold due to covid? cause i watched their video from last year february and their goal needed to do it was finished.
@@beachesandcream27 Probably smart. Shipping prices are through the roof right now and they'll get more out of the remodel if they wait until they come down.

Pretty proud of myself that I guessed £12 for those pork steaks. THAT is the cost of having happy healthy meat. The low prices are the obscene ones. The salted eggs looked incredible and I laughed when Mike said, "Wonder what it would taste like in a cup of tea." and no tea appeared! Leave it to Sorted! to make an incredible deep fried lobster but not a cup of tea!!

I quite like how you do the comparisons now. For example, when exploring a new type of expensive egg yolk, having a standard brined egg yolk. I would like an even more in depth comparison as well.
Regenerative agriculture is carbon negative. We DON'T have to consume less meat if sustainability is your concern, as long as you consume free-range meat. (Even so, the total meat production in the US, of which most is not regenerative, contributes only 1.4% to the US carbon footprint). Crop agriculture, on the other hand, destroys forests, depletes water, propagates the use of chemicals and groundwater contamination, kills the wild life in the fields (and destroyed forests), relies heavily on fossil fuels to plant/grow/harvest/process/transport, and the uber-processed end result contributes to obesity and modern diseases. It is imperative we deep dive into scientific studies, instead of just reading magazine headlines.
Ive enjoyed salted eggs for a few decades now. In duck eggs you can purchase them either cooked or not. Cooked minced in a good congee is great. Raw, use the white in a steamed minced pork mix, putting the yoke on top to be a garnish when taken from the steamer. You can make salted chicken eggs too; strong brine, 14 days, bobs your uncle.
Absolutely love salted eggs, especially in desserts! Think oozy salted egg lava in a bao bun; salted egg custard in a sweet mooncake or a whole salted yolk in the middle of a savory mooncake; salted egg ice cream; cakes / cupcakes topped with a buttery cheese sauce, pork floss and salted egg yolks - great, now I’m hungry hahahah
Id really love to see a battle or pass it on only using stuff youd get in a corner shop using it to discuss food deserts. Also doing pretencious ingredients but flipped on its head. Branded prodcuts (richmond, bisto etc) compared to supermrket own brand
I feel like this would be so good for this channel because they do care so much about the environment. Equity in the environmental sciences can be so difficult to drive home for people!
Salted egg yolk fried lobster on top of noodles is one of the more indulgent dishes you can get at a Chinese seafood restaurant (not takeaway but those banquet halls type restaurant)! My family always order it for special occasions! I am impressed. Sure there are many simpler ways to serve it, but in my eyes the yolk is as much of a hero ingredient as the lobster in that dish and you really did that salted duck egg yolk justice with it.
I love the conversations about sustainability and meat consumption. It's a very important thing to discuss so we start making better choices. Great job incorporating the topic.
Seeing salted duck eggs become popular and trendy is so weird to me. I'm Vietnamese and I grew up eating them with rice as a quick, cheap, and simple meal, and now there are salted egg chips and desserts. Not saying it's good or bad or anything like that. Just interesting to see something that I would consider normal being considered new and exciting. 😂
It's super interesting that food items have been around in some cultures for centuries... then all of a sudden they become trendy in another country where is hasn't at large been apart of their culture. We wonder what the main trigger is?
I’m from Singapore and believe salted egg is actually a staple food in Teochew cuisines. ie, best eaten with porridge/ congee. However the implementation of salted egg in western cuisines I would say is fairly new like Jamie said!
I got mix feelings. One, I really don't like how my childhood foods that I was bullied for eating is being turned into a trend at this point. Second, I'm glad more people are trying them
If it's any consolation, different foods have always moved around the world in history! Lemons didn't exist in europe or middle east before medieval times, they came from asia because people were connected through trade. And on the other hand, salting and curing is a really cool and old way to store food in many countries around the world, so it's great that cured foods are becoming more popular around the world again.
Thank you for trying to tackle the extremely touchy subject of veganism and 'sustainable' agriculture. I especially appreciate Ben's correction saying that it's impossible to have the best of both worlds (eating meat and saving the planet). Keep it up boys.
Especially when China and India don't give a shit and do whatever they want. The West could go carbon neutral and it wouldn't matter because of what they do
Steamed/boiled salted duck egg… boiled rice…. BOOOOOM! Sorted 😜 (source - 35 year old who grew up eating these at the dinner table. Ps - my mum makes a mean salted duck egg…)
I live in St. Louis Missouri, it’s one of the smaller cities almost exactly in Middle of America. One of the things St. Louis is known for is St. Louis style pork steaks you should look up a recipe I think you would be pleasantly surprised. It’s usually marinated in a vinegar-based sauce, and a staple at all barbecues.
If meat tastes good enough, you really don't need to slather it in marinades and sauces! Sadly, supermarket meat often has very little taste of its own.
Been eating salted duck eggs here for decades. Easiest is just to mince up the hard boiled ones and use them as a topping for congee/porridge. Add century egg into the mix and you will be having a feast. Mmmm...
From what an Australian Camel milk producer says, Camel milk is Non-Alergenic, unlike all other kinds of milk which contain lactose. It is supposed to be super healthy. I would try it if I could get it.

The camel milk feels unsustainable except in countries that already have camels. We really should be focusing on animals already existing in each country/continent.
Exactly- I love the idea of supporting small, sustainable farmers in other countries that may be less fortunate than us. But I don't think camel milk is the way to do that. I imagine the travel and the new, unfitting environment stress the heck out of the camels, not to mention how difficult and finicky they are to milk on a good day.
There are plenty of milks out there for lactose intolerant people or people with allergies already anyhow. And with that price? What average, low to middle class consumer could afford it as a replacement for milk anyhow?
When we drove across Holland, back in the days when travel was still possible, we were surprised to go past a field of camels among the fields of cattle, and now I know why!
They brought a bunch over to the US and also Australia for their deserts for the Calvary/Army.
@@skippymagrue Australia has the most wild camels in the world maybe we should start milking them here!
Sustainable farming and being a consumer to that starts with the small farms local to you, low carbon footprint, less food miles…
I think the camel milk isn’t a really good alternative to be honest. I mean, camel’s aren’t really native to Europe, so the process of sending them there, breeding them, and milking them is way too much for a problem (i.e. alternatives for people that can’t have cows or goats milk) that is already resolved or have plenty other alternatives (i.e. plant milk, or lactose free cows milk). I think if they had started this in Australia, where there are camels, cost wise it make more sense and people will buy more of them. But with the current price, I don’t see how the business is sustainable.
You're probably right about starting the business in Australia. The milk is extremely expensive to buy it as part of your regular weekly shop for example.
@@SortedFood As an Australian, my immediate thoughts WERE "Huh they should milk all those feral camels"
Camels were imported to Australia too, and are somewhat of an invasive species there, so not much more of a solution, really...
My first thought was exactly that: why isn't this something that is being done in Australia, which has the largest population of feral/domestic camels. Turns out they already have a commercial-scale camel dairy, started in 2015.
Also, the claim that camels milk does not contain any hormones seems to be dubious at best. Mammal milk naturally contains hormones, including human breast milk. Why would camel milk be an exception here?
About the ethical meat, im a environmental science student and it isn't just the rearing of animals that pumps a lot of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere its the entire farming industry. Transport is half of the emissions farming produces, but there is also problems where excessive fertilizers (nitrogens) are running off and entering water sources like ponds, rivers etc which over time as toxicity increases it disturbs balances within water sources. example: ponds/ little lakes you sometimes see where theres this green layer of algae on top, its a dead body of water the only thing thriving in it is algae.
In short its all farming practices that will need to change and adapt to ensure the least amount of environmental damage possible as well as people eating less meat and also eating seasonally too.
Hopefully they are also addressing those issues, at least some of them. The fact they mentioned biodiversity gave me abit of hope but will have to see. Yeah, food miles is a massive issue why so many things associated with a vegan diet end up problematic due to the large distances they are shipped, if only more people used local markets / greengrocers and accepted they needed to eat seasonally and can't expect all fruit in middle of winter
There’s many cities in the US where the water is undrinkable because of slaughterhouses being on the rivers that feed into the damns. And the run off from them kills the water, it’s also how the salmonella outbreak in romane lettuce in America started. Run off from slaughterhouse getting into the water supply used to water the crops.
@@deeRex56786 that's a management issue that most places have managed to avoid. Erosion and soil degradation from broadacre monocropping somehow doesn't get enough exposure, particularly among vegans
Actually getting more algae offsets the ghg emission for quite a bit
The problem is you may get a few western nations to go along with it but the largest and most rapidly growing countries aren't going to do anything like you're suggesting. Until we can find a way to get them on board we're really just spinning our wheels.
Preserved egg yolks can also be grated over things like cheese!
Ben's face when he heard Barry talking about the milk and hump of the camel 😂
I love how you guys constantly open up the discussion on ethical food sources because we need to be doing better.
My idea would to do some cooking or reviews to travel distance (eg how far each ingredient had to travel and the shortest distance in total wins)
Like cook local grown locally.
Sadly, here is the big issue: The farmers/developers of these products whether it be the meat, milk and so on have a more expensive process and therefore pass the charges to the consumer, logical BUT the 6 to 10 times cost doesn't make it accessible to most people who can't afford and/or justify the excessive amount of the so called "sustainable product". Mom can I have my Frosted Flakes cereal with the $15.00 camel's milk.....me thinks no kiddo!
When many of the foods we now take for granted hit the local markets originally, they were also prohibitively expensive. Time and ingenuity, as well as market saturation, reduced the cost to the lower prices we now accept as regular. In some areas many of the foods we buy for a dollar or pound are still very expensive (I know of a place where a half gallon of milk still costs about $20). But people supporting and buying the products, even as an occasional luxury, primed the market for lower costs. These products can easily drop in price if people would take the incentive to purchase them.
As an added aside, in the US portion sizes are out of control. Mainly due to the inexpensive nature of many of our staple foods. A bowl of cereal with 2-3 cups of milk is a very common breakfast item. But if that milk costs $25 a gallon you can bet parents would be regulating how much they and their children consume. This would have an effect on over consumption, and might help to reduce the obesity issues we are facing.
This exactly. What most people don't seem to catch is there's a *reason* that food production is the way it is. People didn't just wake up one day and decide to make it this way, no, It's this way in order to reduce costs as much as possible while producing as much as possible. Farming and ranching was done on a sustainable level at various points of the rather wide human history by various people, yet, as civilization spreads there's less and less land for such amongst the multitudes of people. We can't just have wide swaths of a city cordoned off for food production. The unfortunate fact is that unless the amount of farmers and ranchers increase and they each increase the amount of product they can sustainably produce, there simply won't be enough product to get the prices down to a level that is, itself, sustainable.
@@akakscase I always try to get the best product possible with sustainability in mind BUT that's not feasible for many large families, you think a $25.00 gallon of milk will be acceptable, a family of 4 or 5 will go through that in a day or so. Also, what will happen to the farmers and/or the developers that exist now selling the lesser products to survive, forgetting the bigger companies, which some get from local growers, they'll be put out of business, the jump from $2.00 per gallon to $25.00 is just not reasonable, its too stark of a difference. In this video, Ben says the pork that Jamie had was $3.25 (or so) and the "upgrade" is $12.00 that's a huge markup, yes a better product perhaps but at an astronomical increase.
EXACTLY. It's really nice to be able to afford the sustainable, environment friendly, super great pat yourself on the back because you feel good foods, but... can we work on making sure literally everyone has enough to eat on the planet first?
And, it's not your or my fault that the planet is going to shit. It's literally giant corporations dumping their garbage in everyone else's either it be farmland, animals' habitats, etc. that is causing the problems we are facing. Let's take them to task, and then we can have ethical camel milk or whatever.
@@akakscase Well sure and if there was any framework in place to increase scalability of these products you might have a point. What the end result is of your argument is pricing 'normals' out of the majority of these products, even with scalability, with them only able to afford lesser or knock off versions. People won't spend more to afford the 25 dollar milk, they'll only be able to buy soy/oat/plant milk with the real thing reserved for the rich. Same with meat, Sorted staff will be able to afford the massive markup on meat and the subsequent increase in quality. The rest of us will be stuck with the spam made from the unusable parts of the 11 dollar meat with the chance to have a steak maybe once a week or month.
Your proposal is essentially the reintroduction of class based food. The rich get the choice cuts of high quality and the poor will be left with the offal.
Simplest way to eat a salted duck egg : just mash one into a bowl of rice. Quick & cheap meal.

Happy Sunday everyone!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
i’m so happy you got to include salted duck egg! as an indonesian, this is definetely something that i’ve had for quite a while and i’m so curious on how you’d experiment with this ingredient. apart from having it as a sauce on a breaded protein (chicken, fish, shrimp, crab are very common), it is also SO good cooked as a filling in a salted egg bun (can be found at dim sum places). and a few years ago, the company Irvins went hugely popular making salted egg potato chips and salted egg salmon skin (you should try these, you can probably find these at asian supermarkets). anyway, i’d LOVE to see you guys using more of salted duck egg, maybe on a cooking battle????
“The qualified one who can’t peel an egg.”
Well… good to know that becoming a chef won’t solve that problem for me.
But the smallest eggs you can find, infinitely easiern to peel without any tricks.
@@nihlify Either that or crack them under water in a bowl. Water gets under to the thin film between the white and the shell, loosening it. It ends up making the shell extremely easy to peel.
usually for salted egg, a knife is just used to cut it in half and then scoop it out
@@Mystearicia a true man/woman/human of culture
I've seen the ice pops being sold here too in grocery stores and I was contemplating on buying some, but I was a bit apprehensive. Maybe I'll go and try some. But imo, the salted egg yolks are definitely the most versatile. They are also easy to make from scratch with regular egg yolks and i've seen them used in a lot of ways from just putting them in a bowl of congee to freezing the yolk solid and grating it over a pork chop or salad. The possibilities are endless.
My family and I usually eat the salted egg with warm rice and sweet soy sauce. It's a comfort food and a pretty cheap as well.
I'm never completely sure about "ethical meats". That only works in combination with reduction is conception, as as far as I know the country can't be supplied with ethical farming practices.
Which in the end it makes it mostly a feel good move for the well off. But it's something.
Essentially what Ben said.
I mean cultured meat is definitely ethical, but not something we're (yet) able to produce on a large scale.
Hunted meat is ethical if you hunt ethically and only take game animals in-season.
@@onwardtowaffles Right, with you there, but that's usually not marketed as ethical, even though it is. Primarily meaning scaled down farming, which is unrealistic on its own.
@@onwardtowaffles hunting seasons weren't designed for ethical reasons. Many seasons were created to coincide with either the prime fur condition, or the easiest time to harvest an animal. For example: deer herds can be culled year round by game wardens, even though the dear season is usually in the fall.
My bigger short-term problem is Mike saying that good quality pork doesn´t have to get cooked through. Ethical farming doesn´t necessarily reduce parasite risk.
sorry that's just not accuate. Meat raised using regenertive farming can have a net negative impact on GW. Animals like cows and bison can actually sequester a ton of carbon which can be used to regeneate the soil.
The real issue when it comes to food and global warming relates to the destrucion of the soil (tilling soil to plant veg releases a ton of carbon dioxide AND destroys the soil) tasty animals are actually the solution to the problem.
We rarely peel the salted egg. Just cut it in half and served like that with hot rice and some sambal belacan. 🤤
That's super interesting... thanks so much for letting us know, we will have to try this.
@@SortedFood You should. It is very common here in Malaysia that we ate it that way
Then hiw do you go about eating it? Spoon it out?
does the peel become soft and edible then?
@@thetheodora2371 ...by peel do you mean shell? 🥚
This is the first time I've seen good quality subtitles on your videos, I think? I just want you to know I'm absolutely loving it.
We do try our best.
It’s strange for me to see salted duck egg being “trendy” when I grew up eating it
Same. It’s an easy find in any Asian market and it could almost be a staple food in my family growing up. I’m almost offended that a centuries-old, wide-spread food is now a “trend”. I get that it’s more about how it’s uniquely used in recipes, but seeing it be introduced as a trend to people unfamiliar with it makes it feel like a novelty toy.
@Morgan Grace yes. I agree they handled it well. I think I get the weird offense feeling from past experiences like when people used to do century egg eating challenges. I know a lot of people now are more respectful of other cultures, but not everyone's there yet.
I love your name! 🤣👌🏻
@Morgan Grace Exactly.
This trend at least isn’t like the old ones. The “How does this exist? How do people eat this? Let’s try eating 100 of them,” trends. Food I liked eating was used as a challenge in the same way as eating a 5lb bag of sugar free gummy bears and suffering obvious consequences.
Now it’s gourmet.
Would love to see the normals make a dish then turn it in to “baby” food. It would mean you can’t go to wild with flavour but you could come up with some stunning dishes.
First time I absolutely recognize one of these “trends.” We buy those salty duck eggs like every few weeks. And I have to disagree with Ebers: my Chinese husband loves eating them straight up as a salty snack. I mean, it’s way more protein than chips 🤷♀️
and way more salt
I also do that, but I also eat honey, cream cheese, and pickled mustard root by itself and I recognize that I am not supposed to. because all of those things are condiments.
That sodium content, though...
Here’s the thing with dairy. Yes people like to explore other options but recently we had a brucella outbreak due to people eating unpasteurized dairy products. One of those was camel milk. I think you should explain the safest way to get these products and explain some of the downsides to these.
There's really only one 'safe' way to consume unpasteurized dairy: get it from the farm the day it's milked, and use it same-day or next-day at the latest.
Completely agree! I feel like a lot of the ingredients Sorted look at take into consideration allergies but never people who may be immuno compromised and due to that these "solutions" don't work for everyone.
@@onwardtowaffles And even then it isn't completely safe. My whole family got brucellosis from drinking unpasteurised milk (free to us from the family farm!) some 50 years ago now. Probably a lot safer today, if you can get it (and so much nicer than the shop stuff).
@@AnnabelSmyth brucellosis (like TB) was quite common 50 years ago. Australian dairy heards have been brucellosis and TB free for almost 40 years. I wonder why more places have managed this
There’s always a lot of complaints about raw milk not being available in the US.
To be fair, westerners may know salted duck egg yoke a lot earlier than recent food trend - from the famous Chinese lotus mooncake with salted egg yokes in it. Right now chefs just try to implement it in dishes.
I mean asians have been cooking with it for ages. Their lobster dish is just a variant of the "Golden Sand Prawns".
Hearing Ben say it’s got a nice crack absolutely made my week. 😂🙌 Thank you 🙏
7:34 What Ben said is what I appreciated the most in this part. As someone eating a plant-exclusive diet for the environmental reasons, I think we often forget that regenerative farming will not feed the world if we continue to eat as much animal products as we do toady and we need both - regenerative practices and reduction in meat consumption. Very good point!
One thing worth mentioning is that meat is cheap greatly because of the subsidies so we don't really see it real price, not even mentioning the planetary costs so it actually should be more expensive and people should treat it more like something special than a commodity.
The way Mike’s eyes light up whenever an espresso martini is even mentioned (let alone presented to him) makes me laugh every time 😂

@@SortedFood Greetings from Alabama to the comment person! Whoever you are, you've been doing a really good job lately.
Love these trends but just on the camels milk (especially after following the meat and climate sustainability) how sustainable to the environment can it be to import milk from other countries vs English milk? Think this would be worth looking at :)
Vs British milk it's particularly stupid. Britain has a lot of farming land that can only reliably be grazed to harvest calories. A couple of local farms are trying something new, solar panel farm AND sheep on the worst grazing fields.
Yeah, I thought the branding of camel milk as sustainable is sus because there's no way it's more sustainable in 90% of the world than whatever your local milk is. Cows might not be good for the environment generally but they're raised on my doorstep so the food miles are a thousand times lower
Highlight of the video: Mike being shooketh after hearing “Milking things that aren’t mammals.”
"I have an adult pop every day" behave barry. That's just rude
Always good to see the ever “trendy” Ebbers testing trendy food
It's the perfect combo right?
420g of pork for £2.something is borderline criminal. It just shouldn’t be that cheap. The problem isn’t that the ethical meat is expensive, it’s that we’ve demanded the price of produce is far lower than it really should be.
and just as i was feeling really shitty I GET A SORTED NOTIFICATION!!! thanks lads, as always xo

100% agree, would love those recipes!
I quite like how you do the comparisons now. For example, when exploring a new type of expensive egg yolk, having a standard brined egg yolk. I would like an even more in depth comparison as well.
Regenerative agriculture is carbon negative. We DON'T have to consume less meat if sustainability is your concern, as long as you consume free-range meat. (Even so, the total meat production in the US, of which most is not regenerative, contributes only 1.4% to the US carbon footprint). Crop agriculture, on the other hand, destroys forests, depletes water, propagates the use of chemicals and groundwater contamination, kills the wild life in the fields (and destroyed forests), relies heavily on fossil fuels to plant/grow/harvest/process/transport, and the uber-processed end result contributes to obesity and modern diseases. It is imperative we deep dive into scientific studies, instead of just reading magazine headlines.
Ive enjoyed salted eggs for a few decades now. In duck eggs you can purchase them either cooked or not. Cooked minced in a good congee is great. Raw, use the white in a steamed minced pork mix, putting the yoke on top to be a garnish when taken from the steamer. You can make salted chicken eggs too; strong brine, 14 days, bobs your uncle.

Salted egg yolk fried lobster on top of noodles is one of the more indulgent dishes you can get at a Chinese seafood restaurant (not takeaway but those banquet halls type restaurant)! My family always order it for special occasions! I am impressed. Sure there are many simpler ways to serve it, but in my eyes the yolk is as much of a hero ingredient as the lobster in that dish and you really did that salted duck egg yolk justice with it.
I always love these. you just can't beat a none qualified opinion
I love the conversations about sustainability and meat consumption. It's a very important thing to discuss so we start making better choices. Great job incorporating the topic.

Seeing salted duck eggs become popular and trendy is so weird to me.

Just interesting to see something that I would consider normal being considered new and exciting. 😂
It's super interesting that food items have been around in some cultures for centuries... then all of a sudden they become trendy in another country where is hasn't at large been apart of their culture. We wonder what the main trigger is?
Me seeing Ben enjoy the salted duck egg lobster so much starts scraping at the insides of the shell makes my eye shed a tear 😙
Jamie is especially articulate today.
I’m from Singapore and believe salted egg is actually a staple food in Teochew cuisines. ie, best eaten with porridge/ congee. However the implementation of salted egg in western cuisines I would say is fairly new like Jamie said!
I got mix feelings. One, I really don't like how my childhood foods that I was bullied for eating is being turned into a trend at this point. Second, I'm glad more people are trying them
If it's any consolation, different foods have always moved around the world in history! Lemons didn't exist in europe or middle east before medieval times, they came from asia because people were connected through trade. And on the other hand, salting and curing is a really cool and old way to store food in many countries around the world, so it's great that cured foods are becoming more popular around the world again.
I live in Wisconsin and the Asian markets have had salted duck eggs for as long as I can remember. Balut as well.
Thank you for trying to tackle the extremely touchy subject of veganism and 'sustainable' agriculture. I especially appreciate Ben's correction saying that it's impossible to have the best of both worlds (eating meat and saving the planet). Keep it up boys.
Especially when China and India don't give a shit and do whatever they want. The West could go carbon neutral and it wouldn't matter because of what they do
Steamed/boiled salted duck egg… boiled rice…. BOOOOOM! Sorted 😜 (source - 35 year old who grew up eating these at the dinner table. Ps - my mum makes a mean salted duck egg…)
I live in St. Louis Missouri, it’s one of the smaller cities almost exactly in Middle of America. One of the things St. Louis is known for is St. Louis style pork steaks you should look up a recipe I think you would be pleasantly surprised. It’s usually marinated in a vinegar-based sauce, and a staple at all barbecues.
If meat tastes good enough, you really don't need to slather it in marinades and sauces! Sadly, supermarket meat often has very little taste of its own.
Been eating salted duck eggs here for decades. Easiest is just to mince up the hard boiled ones and use them as a topping for congee/porridge. Add century egg into the mix and you will be having a feast. Mmmm...
From what an Australian Camel milk producer says, Camel milk is Non-Alergenic, unlike all other kinds of milk which contain lactose. It is supposed to be super healthy. I would try it if I could get it.

One could argue the very name "ethical butcher" is a complete misnomer in itself, and I'm saying that as an avid meat devourer.
As someone who tries to go vegan, I wholeheartedly agree. It's less cruel than conventional butchery, but it's still nowhere near ethical.
