I have a feeling that drinking chocolate would be about half the price without the gold, and since edible gold is flavorless, it would taste just as amazing without any of the pretentiousness.

I see that as a more Chinese sentence. My friends dad works in China. Often went to his place and we sometimes had those expensive Chinese teas and they are so good. Well, this was befor the lockdown.
@@lancelindlelee7256 You can still get quite a lot of really nice teas! Shipping might be delayed a bit depending on the country of origin, but there's lots of good online stores. I've been enjoying some genmaicha recently, but I just got some jasmine.
While that chocolate does sound delicious, it seems ridiculous for it to be called Aztec when it's spiced with saffron, pistachio, and cardamom. That is the most Indian-to-middle-eastern dessert spice combination I can think of. It's not remotely Aztec. It would need to be unsweetened and spicy. Spicy here meaning it should burn a bit. It traditionally has some sort of chili powder in it. Naming gripes aside, any food with gold in it is automatically pretentious. It doesn't impart any flavor, it doesn't improve texture, it can't even be digested, it is exclusively for the novelty of eating gold. (I thoroughly enjoyed this video, I just seem to only be capable of complaining tonight)
Actually I think naming issue alone makes it pretentious. Like if you can't even get authenticity right (for lack of a better word) then you don't actually care about the product, just the image you can sell.
@@FrancisR420 The Aztects most likely never had saffron or cardamom. It makes no sense to call it Aztec hot chocolate. Call it Persian chocolate or something more proper.
Well... I mean, technically any chocolate could just be called aztec chocolate but yeah, gold is something you can find in many places around earth and the spices are old world based so it's less aztec than normal hot chocolate...
Terrible combo, potato chips and hummus just do not mesh. Now, a good toadted onion, garlic or Tuscan bagle with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, a spread of hummus and a bit of either feta or a Mexican crumble cheese like Ranchero or Fresco and you have a serious snack.
If your green tea is bitter, you've overbrewed it. You want to leave a green tea in the cup for about three minutes. I used to dislike green tea because I'm in the habit of leaving my tea bags in the cup and forgetting about it for a while, and green teas get bitter if you leave it in too long. I've gotten better.
ElvanLady well that’s interesting. See I come from the Chai world and the longer you leave a chai the better flavour. Even with, not necessarily PG Tips, but Typhoo and English Red the longer you brew it the more of a kick you’ll get. So if you leave a Typhoo brewing for six hours it feels like a donkey kick to your temple. I’ll keep that in mind for green tea. Do you know if Oolong is the same way?
@@Shiina017 Oh you have lit me aflame, sir. Yes, I'm the candle, not the ones discussing the finer points of mixing hot water and dry leaves, lest the concoction be too bitter for the properly refined palate and noble sensibilities. You nut.
Speaking of hot chocolate, I love making my own spiced hot chocolate myself, using nutmeg, ginger, and other things. A friend of mine says it's like drinking a chocolatey ginger snap. Say, how about a hot chocolate battle in the winter months? I'd like to see what you crazy kids come up with.
Now, I'm the kind of lunatic that does everything by-eye and mood, so no measurements will be had, just add things to suit taste, but... -Put milk into saucepan, turn to a low heat -Add in granulated sugar (alternative sweeteners can be used, but they will affect taste and in some cases acidity), and for spices: Cocoa Powder, Ground Ginger (I find the dry ground variety better than fresh in this case), ground cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, ground cardamom, ground coriander. Vanilla extract optional. -Keep whisking together slowly, heat up until everything has blended together (cocoa powder seems to take the longest to mix in), and heat to desired temperature (I personally go until it just barely starts to give off steam). Bonus recipe, you can turn this into some dang tasty oatmeal by adding in some oats and a bit of butter and cooking it until at the desired consistency. And for simplicity of an ingredient list: -Milk -Granulated Sugar (or sweetener) -Cocoa Powder -Ground Ginger -Ground Cinnamon -Nutmeg -Ground Cardamom -Ground Coriander Optional: Vanilla Extract. Drop of Mint oil couldn't hurt either, may have to try that next time.
Umami powder is just unprocessed MSG (and by that I mean it's probably crushed seaweed and/or mushrooms). Just grab MSG powder. It's cheaper and you use less of it.
@@pupleon maybe. Dashi powder is seaweed/bonito, so lots of glutamate there anyways. I still recommend using MSG anyways unless the recipe specifically cards for dashi powder, dried bonito, etc.
@None Umami is just another name for the taste of glutamate. "Umami powder" will taste different because it isn't pure glutamate and will carry other flavors present in the glutamate sources, as opposed to MSG which is refined. It's like "raw" sugar vs. granulated white sugar. Sure "raw" sugar tastes different/better because it still contains the natural molasses, but 99% of the time I'm going to use granulated because it's cheaper and the difference is negligible. If I'm making a stir fry/fried rice, for example, I'd rather put a dash of MSG in that costs less than a cent over a dash of "umami powder" because what extra flavors it gives just aren't worth the price.
The thing with the Gold Dust drinking chocolate is that I wonder now if one could mix it oneself - without the gold. Just cocoa, cardamom and saffron (and sugar) … but then I would like to know how much saffron I would have to add per 100g …
The original also had chili in it and they used the whole bean. Usually you only get fat free cocoa powder, so you'd probably have to add back some fat.
If you think Green Tea is bitter, you're brewing it wrong. Don't use boiling water because it singes the leaves and don't overbrew it. It also helps to get a nice quality green tea and to know what qualities you prefer--some Japanese green teas can take on an oceanic almost seaweedy taste (like a nice sencha or gyokuro yamashiro) while other green teas like dragonwell tend to be more subtley grassy (though I'd say if you're looking for a nice medium crowd pleasing green tea, go for dragonwell because it's not strongly grassy and has a very nice aroma)
Most easily available gyokuro is not actually gyokuro ( Usually a cheaper sencha) and it's usually brewed wrong. Hell, David's Tea tells you to brew it using 80C hot water. I personally am a fan of a nice, earthy genmaicha. Delicious hot or cold and can even withstand a bad brewing. I find that if tea is bitter, you've used too much leaf and let it brew for too long.
For Ben. Regardless of the protein that is ingested, during digestion they're all completely denatured and broken down into the amino acids that they are constructed from. Therefore the consumption of any one given protein has no purpose cause the amino acids just get restructured into any other random assortment of proteins based on your body's requirements.
I mean different proteins have differences and collagen does indeed have certain benefits but its not like collagen is a new thing or you need it in powder form This is essentially jello
if you want to make Mayan hot chocolate just add a bit of chili powder to hot chocolate... most hot chocolate drinks from around that region were just dark chocolate, chili and almond.
Guys, do your hearing impaired viewers a favour - use a different company for your captions. One that understands English accents a bit better Ben: "see what the guys think" Captions "see what we're going for" later, captions confuse 'eat' with 'need', 'cooking' with 'pickling', '50' with '15', 'Masterchef' with 'Martha Chef', 'Odorless' with 'Oatless', 'shown up' with 'throwing', 'tub' with 'Tom' (yes, Tom, the name, when nobody on the show is named Tom). This list was up to the halfway mark. I lost interest by then. It probably continues in a similar fashion I tried to tweak them to the correct words, but they were locked because it's been captioned by an outside company. I then compared it to Google's auto translate - and it had made far less mistakes. or at least, less confusing mistakes.
Supreme Buffalo Are you sure it's not due to automated captions? I've never really looked into it but from what I just found youtube does indeed use speech recognition software for automated captions (since 2010) although channels are allowed to get accurate subtitles in languages that they want and even fans of a channel sometimes submit accurate subtitles/translations for their videos.
it is autogenerated they say that they’re captioned because i believe youtube has an option to make the auto captions actual captions by using the words the system is most confident in and guessing the rest. either way they should make the captions editable so others can correct the mistakes the captioning system is bound to make. glad to see more people talking about closed captions on youtube though!
1) "That tastes fishy" *Ben looks at the camera like he's in The Office* 2) Ben's getting too excited for Dad Joke of the Week 3) PSA: That's not hOW YOU REPLENISH COLLAGEN, PEOPLE!!! WTH?!
You can't really eat a supplement for it. You need to have a good diet, drink water and keep out of the sun. Your body will do the rest, but as you get older, your cells will slow down, but keeping a good overall health helps.
I would loooooove if i worked like that, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a collagen disorder and because collagen can because in all your tissues, it messes with my entire body. It is caused by a fault in my DNA, your DNA dictates how and how much collagen you make, sadly there is still no way to influence or supplement that. So yea don't waist your money!!!
5:26 - "It's considered odorless and tasteless." [later] "And because it's hydrolized, it will absorb into cold liquids as well." me: IT'S IOCANE POWDER.
you've fallen for one of the two classic blunders! The first being never get involved in a land war in Asia but only slightly lesser known: never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA *dies*
I thought that too! And now I don't need to make a separate comment! Now...I am going to sit back and recite the entire script of the Princess Bride in my head....again. ....I may have watched that movie one too many times while I was a kid....and then kept watching it as an adult.
Guys, what's up with the shirts of the "normals" when testing these things? Is that your substitute of a chefs jacket? I love this format! ...amongst others
"a pot of umami" What are the people who sell this trying to pull? Good sources of umami that you hopefully already have in your kitchen: beef stock, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, tomato paste, Marmite. No need to buy a pot of "umami." That's like having sugar, honey, molasses, etc. in the house and buying a pot of "sweetness" made from crystallized, dried, and ground sugar, honey, and molasses. Why. Just why.
I just love everything about these videos. The guys, the intro, the fridge cam, the dad jokes, the food awesomeness....overall quality. This should be on cable.
I'd consider the hot chocolate if they took out the gold flake. Sure, it would still cost more than most brands, but it would probably be much more reasonable to have occasionally.
I’m American and feel pretentious ordering Cadbury drinking chocolate from the UK, but at least it’s not next level #extra chocolate with gold and saffron😂
jai pennycuick no! Most American chocolate is trash compared to European chocolate😭 Example: I love Maltesars and always bought them from a world market. One of the major candy companies here started manufacturing them and they taste like hot garbage.
OK, here's the thing about the collagen: That's not how digestion works. You don't absorb a protein whole into your blood. No matter what the protein is you will chop it up into its smallest pieces and then reassemble it into whatever part of yourself you are building. Sheesh! I recall a comic strip of Rose is Rose that explained this. Not to mention, eating any kind of meat was already supplying you with tons of collagen (most common protein in the body, like the man says), so this is completely pointless.
I love this ❤ Just an idea: Why don't you try something similar to 'come dine with me' where each one of you cook independently for each other (with no help from ben or james 😂)
Could you guys MAKE a version of that drinking chocolate with all the spices...or maybe one of those three price points sit downs. Make a generic hot chocolate, a leveled up one, and a posh one.
got to the end of the hot chocolate part and thought "what? is that it?" i was so in the zone enjoying the vid i forgot these and the gadgets were so short
Loved the first one. Liked this video before it even started, and loved it all the way to the end. This has become my favorite segment in this channel.
Hello I’m also from London but I live in Cambridgeshire, please can you do a ultimate honey battle and a ‘London’s best pancake’ video! Not one of my friend know why I love you guys and neither do I but you are the only British cooking channel I like! 😂💕
Oh man, that hot cocoa looks delicious! But imagine how much cheaper it would be without the gold :P Then you could keep buying it with a little less guilt and a happier wallet.
It's great that I live in an Asian country, I can get those flower tea bulbs for much cheaper and some that look like lotus flower. A bulb that sinks to the bottom and the flower floats to the top with a string attached to the bulb. Super pretty, steep for a bit longer and they taste great too.
7:30 collagen for £27... just make bone-joint broth or eat Russian kholodetz (холодец) for £1. I personally prefer soup with joint broth base for, like, £1-2 per one meal. I am eating this peasant borsch soup almost everyday. £27, gosh. This makes me RICH.
The guy with the beard is my fave. At first I was gutted because he wasn't being the Normal tester, then I saw him in the background and decided to continue watching 😁
Yes , yes, yes. More please! It's official you are now my favourite food channel! Keep up the great work. Caviar crisps 😂😂🤣 but I am off to buy some teabulbs and a glass teapot!
A chocolate with gold is absolutely pretentious! I didn't go to any food is nothing but pretentious. It has no nutritional value and no flavor. It's just a waste.
Liking for James cussing and being an adorably happy ginger chef. Bonus like for Mike's hella cute shirt X3 Loving the Pretentious Ingredients from Barry's Cupboard videos!!
My favorite flowerbud-tea falls on the bottom, disperses white jasmine flowers that float up to the surface, absorb more liquid which makes them snow down on the bottom. And it tastes lovely.
Kushy224 It could also be because this is the second time they've done this and everytime they do anything like this it's enjoyable. I had the same thought of more please just seeing the title and watching none of the video.
Umami pot is super pretentious considering you can buy it by the pound in any asian grocery store by it's more well-known name MSG.... MSG is to umami as NaCl is to salt. Tea flowers can also be found in any asian grocery store. Also Mike is super funny and I love him
What I love about these videos is the interaction between everyone. It all feels so... Homely in a way, if you get what I mean?
Homely in the British sense, I hope 😂 (In the US homely isn't a compliment.)

But Mike is right; there are other teas that bloom better.
I remember I bought one and it was much nicer... Maybe it just looked better but was lower quality, could be
I feel like if you’re going to raid Barry’s kitchen, you could at least feature him a little more 😂
I have a feeling that drinking chocolate would be about half the price without the gold, and since edible gold is flavorless, it would taste just as amazing without any of the pretentiousness.
MysticJhn
But then it still has saffron in it…
Saffron is quite an expensive ingredient but I don’t entirely disagree with you. It would probably be about 5 pound or more cheaper without gold leaf
But saffrom is kind of ok, it's subjective if the price is justified but at least it adds some flavour.
And as body does not digest gold, so it will comes out the same as it goes in 😂
Pah I can get iron pyrite leaf for a fraction of the cost.

While that chocolate does sound delicious, it seems ridiculous for it to be called Aztec when it's spiced with saffron, pistachio, and cardamom.

It traditionally has some sort of chili powder in it.
Naming gripes aside, any food with gold in it is automatically pretentious. It doesn't impart any flavor, it doesn't improve texture, it can't even be digested, it is exclusively for the novelty of eating gold.

Hungry Klaxon thats what i thought however sadly many spices have been lost to time
Yes true 👍

and is toxic
Buying edible gold is literally paying for glittery poop.

Yes! Sorted you should hack the pretentious things that can be replicated!
I think the gold is the filler so they don't spend as much on saffron
saffron was in 2011 according to the business insider webpage about 11 dollars per gram while gold was 57 dollars per gram. not sure that adds up.
The original also had chili in it and they used the whole bean. Usually you only get fat free cocoa powder, so you'd probably have to add back some fat.

Found the pretentious comments
The thing is, I'm pretty sure the tea flower is White tea, not green. All the tea flowers I've bought are white tea, usually Jasmine tea.
And the flavor changes so drastically based on where its grown. Live on Kyushu island, and every town and farm has different flavored green tea
For Ben.

Therefore the consumption of any one given protein has no purpose cause the amino acids just get restructured into any other random assortment of proteins based on your body's requirements.

Sorted should really try to recreate these pretentious ingredients. I’d love to know how to make that chocolate drink.
It's just spiced hot cocoa really. The specific blend is the interesting part really.
You can get some gold foil for 5 dollars too if you wanted to get everything right.
Or have a Pass It On where one must be used on every turn.

Shouldn't Aztec drinking chocolate have chilli in it to be authentic?
If you left out the gold I'd wan that chocolate drink. The gold just ruins it though.

In defense of the hot chocolate, saffron is a pretty expensive spice
Depends how good. Of safron
Yeah but it's a very potent spice. You only need a small amount.
The guys have used saffron before. They would know whether something with saffron in it was worth it.
Imagine how expensive it must have been for James' Aztecs since saffron wasn't introduced to the Americas until the 1730s.
@transylvanian no it isn't that's like saying that truffle is pretentious. Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's pretentious.

3) PSA: That's not hOW YOU REPLENISH COLLAGEN, PEOPLE!!! WTH?!
Yeah, blitzing up gelatin sheets is cheaper and has the same effect on your body, which is...none. This is useless rather than pretentious.
You can't really eat a supplement for it. You need to have a good diet, drink water and keep out of the sun. Your body will do the rest, but as you get older, your cells will slow down, but keeping a good overall health helps.
You could try edible bird's nest or cooked sea cucumber. That's what my grandma swears by xD
3.True!Collagenpowder only gives a placebo effect. It will only empty your walllet and you pay for stuff that will bot work!
I would loooooove if i worked like that, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a collagen disorder and because collagen can because in all your tissues, it messes with my entire body. It is caused by a fault in my DNA, your DNA dictates how and how much collagen you make, sadly there is still no way to influence or supplement that. So yea don't waist your money!!!
mikes shirt is ????? so good ???? the light of my life ???? the apple of my eye ??? AMAZING I LOVE THIS SHIRT
James uses the chopsticks like a fork. Now we're going to judge you for both.
5:26 - "It's considered odorless and tasteless." [later] "And because it's hydrolized, it will absorb into cold liquids as well."
me: IT'S IOCANE POWDER.
you've fallen for one of the two classic blunders! The first being never get involved in a land war in Asia but only slightly lesser known: never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA *dies*
Well damn im off to watch the princess bride now lol
Jessica Kalinowski FYI - “Sicilian,” meaning a person from Sicily.
+kleubner22 thanks, could have just said I spelled it wrong. but sure.
I thought that too! And now I don't need to make a separate comment! Now...I am going to sit back and recite the entire script of the Princess Bride in my head....again. ....I may have watched that movie one too many times while I was a kid....and then kept watching it as an adult.
Guys, what's up with the shirts of the "normals" when testing these things? Is that your substitute of a chefs jacket?
I love this format! ...amongst others
"a pot of umami"
What are the people who sell this trying to pull? Good sources of umami that you hopefully already have in your kitchen: beef stock, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, tomato paste, Marmite. No need to buy a pot of "umami." That's like having sugar, honey, molasses, etc. in the house and buying a pot of "sweetness" made from crystallized, dried, and ground sugar, honey, and molasses. Why. Just why.
marmite? oh hell no
Marmite is great
just buy msg powder, it`s way cheaper and it`s just pure umami
It's basically MSG
Don't buy msg, or anything made in a laboratory!!
I love mikes shirt 😂❤️
He's taken a leaf out of Jamie's book
SORTEDfood 😂😂
Yes!!
I was going to say: Mike's shirt looks pretentious, haha
I am having such a good time binging these old episodes!
My man ben is too cool for y'all
Anything with gold in it is pretentious. Take out the gold and it'd be really good hot chocolate
Love this concept, need more of this. Especially when James is in it ❤️
I just love everything about these videos. The guys, the intro, the fridge cam, the dad jokes, the food awesomeness....overall quality. This should be on cable.
I love flowering tea, they’re pretty and delicious!
It looks like you'd have to brew it for a long time to get much flavour out of it. That's my biggest issue with herbal teas.
I'd consider the hot chocolate if they took out the gold flake. Sure, it would still cost more than most brands, but it would probably be much more reasonable to have occasionally.
Concept: a musicals themed battle
Caitlin Smith I think I would actually cry 💖
But Barry wouldn't stand a chance! If they do a musical theme, they also have to sing.
JustNormalCrazyMe I’m just wondering who’s gonna paint themselves green and sing defying gravity
@@caitlin-1408 Mike! Definitely Mike. He already teased the song in the cereal battle, now it just needs the finish
Btw I love your idea!
OMG, I need it so much, please do this, guys!
I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING AT THE “UH YOU’VE GOT TWO FRIENDS COMING OVER, BETTER BUST OUT THE KETTLE CHIPS AND HUMMUS!” FAR OUT AHAHAHA
I’m American and feel pretentious ordering Cadbury drinking chocolate from the UK, but at least it’s not next level #extra chocolate with gold and saffron😂
Cadbury's is pretty awesome though!
SORTEDfood yeeeeees! I’m perpetually jealous of all the delicious chocolate Europe has to offer
jai pennycuick no! Most American chocolate is trash compared to European chocolate😭 Example: I love Maltesars and always bought them from a world market. One of the major candy companies here started manufacturing them and they taste like hot garbage.
There's way better stuff in the US though, why import British Hershey's
Cadbury is the worst kind of chocolate ever...please pick a French, Swiss or Belgian (or even Dutch) kind of chocolate and you'll never go back
I think Barry is hovering in the background waiting to take it all home afterwards. 😂😂
Mike's shirt matches the tea flower (before it was soaked in hot water)😋
OK, here's the thing about the collagen: That's not how digestion works. You don't absorb a protein whole into your blood. No matter what the protein is you will chop it up into its smallest pieces and then reassemble it into whatever part of yourself you are building. Sheesh! I recall a comic strip of Rose is Rose that explained this. Not to mention, eating any kind of meat was already supplying you with tons of collagen (most common protein in the body, like the man says), so this is completely pointless.
I love this ❤
Just an idea:
Why don't you try something similar to 'come dine with me' where each one of you cook independently for each other (with no help from ben or james 😂)
Yessss... that would be hilarious. The 'normals' would struggle too impress... which makes watching them more enjoyable 😋
it feels like its been forever since i've seen mike in a video... we missed you mike.
Mike's finally have more air time in the videos! Yey!
Isn't umami seasoning just MSG? You could get 1kg of this for like 2 or 3 quid. And the use a fancy jar to put it in...
Msg is the purified form ( majorly it's made by a bacteria Corynebacterium glutamicum). While the umami is dried mushroom/seaweed etc
Could you guys MAKE a version of that drinking chocolate with all the spices...or maybe one of those three price points sit downs. Make a generic hot chocolate, a leveled up one, and a posh one.
I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and now I’ve seen most of your videos. Another great one here, always fun to watch.
Dad joke thought process:
1) ooh, Ben gets to say it
2) are you making fun of my religion?
3) i-is that a pun?
4) I love it!
“Odorless and tasteless”. Was that a Princess Bride joke?
I hope so
got to the end of the hot chocolate part and thought "what? is that it?" i was so in the zone enjoying the vid i forgot these and the gadgets were so short
Love how James get so excited about being great as a chef by knowing ingredient. He is so good at it.
How has this channel only have 2 million subscribers?
Loved the first one. Liked this video before it even started, and loved it all the way to the end. This has become my favorite segment in this channel.
Hello I’m also from London but I live in Cambridgeshire, please can you do a ultimate honey battle and a ‘London’s best pancake’ video! Not one of my friend know why I love you guys and neither do I but you are the only British cooking channel I like! 😂💕
A honey comparison would be good.
"Not one of my friends know why I love you guys" is such a backhanded compliment :')
The hot chocolate thing sounds amazing, ngl. Minus precious metals, though.
Grumpy Scotsman is happy about getting the chocolate right! Yay!
Oh man, that hot cocoa looks delicious! But imagine how much cheaper it would be without the gold :P Then you could keep buying it with a little less guilt and a happier wallet.
I hope y'all are making more of these cause you totally neeeed to!! They are so awesome!
Aw, Ben finally admitting Tyrone exists by taking on the ‘Dad joke of the week’. Well Done Ben!
It's great that I live in an Asian country, I can get those flower tea bulbs for much cheaper and some that look like lotus flower. A bulb that sinks to the bottom and the flower floats to the top with a string attached to the bulb. Super pretty, steep for a bit longer and they taste great too.
Nice to see Ben is embracing fatherhood :) I wonder how tyrone is doing
That's what I was thinking! 😂
This is genuinely my favourite series so far 😂
I bursted in laughter at the end! Dad Joke of the Week really does make my week! :D
"Umami pot" already exists...it's called MSG. And it's awesome.
I saw the Facebook teaser for this and I'm really excited for it.
These are so much fun, and I would highly enjoy another!
Lads please do more than 2 videos a week I need more Sorted in my life😁😁❤❤🍽
I can not tell you how much I LOVED this video. Mike AND James, be still my beating heart!!
Pretentious: Powder Edition
"I'm such a good chef! I'm so happy with myself! "... Grumpy Currie is too proud today! 😂
7:30 collagen for £27... just make bone-joint broth or eat Russian kholodetz (холодец) for £1.
I personally prefer soup with joint broth base for, like, £1-2 per one meal. I am eating this peasant borsch soup almost everyday. £27, gosh. This makes me RICH.
Н. Д. Or even just jello. It just turns to gelatin when melted.
we definitely need more of this! and this is the best channel to watch while eating^^
The guy with the beard is my fave. At first I was gutted because he wasn't being the Normal tester, then I saw him in the background and decided to continue watching 😁
Jamie I assume. I love him too. He and Ebbers are my faves. But they're all great.
I absolutely love these. More is always welcome!
"I'm a chef. I know umami memememememe" i died
Yes , yes, yes. More please! It's official you are now my favourite food channel! Keep up the great work. Caviar crisps 😂😂🤣 but I am off to buy some teabulbs and a glass teapot!
A chocolate with gold is absolutely pretentious! I didn't go to any food is nothing but pretentious. It has no nutritional value and no flavor. It's just a waste.
Blooming teas really are fantastic: the best ones are hand-tied.
Best thing to wake up to, today is gonna be a good day.
Liking for James cussing and being an adorably happy ginger chef. Bonus like for Mike's hella cute shirt X3 Loving the Pretentious Ingredients from Barry's Cupboard videos!!
Could you maybe do something to do with making your own fast-food but healthier??
My favorite flowerbud-tea falls on the bottom, disperses white jasmine flowers that float up to the surface, absorb more liquid which makes them snow down on the bottom. And it tastes lovely.
I love this! Do more please
Video released 2 minutes ago, video over 10 minutes long. How could you possible comment on the quality yet?
Kushy224
Because its sortedfood. I already know its gonna be a good video 💕
Just looking for a quick top comment.
Kushy224 It could also be because this is the second time they've done this and everytime they do anything like this it's enjoyable. I had the same thought of more please just seeing the title and watching none of the video.
Lauren, i bet yo think theres more than two genders don't you?
Absolutely love these! Please keep them coming!
"It's considered odorless and tasteless."
....I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocaine powder.
This was awesome! Hey do you think you guys would ever do a video on meal prep? That would be great. Love your channel!!!
"Its considered oderless and tastless" OH I KNOW, *powdered carbon monoxide*
I love when you find a new channel you love so you binge watch all their videos then you realise it is going on 2 am and you have work in the morning
the way they say crisps is so funny!cripspsp
This video has such great replay value! James and Mike are such a good duo, as are Ben and Jamie (do this again pls)
Umami pot is super pretentious considering you can buy it by the pound in any asian grocery store by it's more well-known name MSG.... MSG is to umami as NaCl is to salt. Tea flowers can also be found in any asian grocery store. Also Mike is super funny and I love him
One-eye - it's not racist you twat. Don't eat anything made in a laboratory - first rule of nutrition.
I stumbled on Sorted a week or so ago and I'm in love! All of the guys are hilarious and seem super sweet!! But James - James has my heart :D LOL
