"What's the one thing Ben has taught us in 13 years?"
Always add a Bay leaf.
And a sprig of mint.
😂
If in doubt, make fish pie
Or quiche!
Add 4 bay leaves if no one's driving.
In South East Asia you dip sour unripe fruits in a salty chili powder, I always assumed that combination was normal. Interesting to see them try with salt and pepper here
Brilliant. That makes so much sense. Love it.
yes, another combo that came to mind is watermelon dipped in salty chili powder as well. It's very popular in Vietnam
In Colombia we mix a lot of fruits with salt pepper and lemon, it’s delicious
Mangoes in salt and chilli yea
South asia too. guavas, raw mangoes with salt chilli
The normals "discovering" everything that they've been told over the years is wonderful.
Indonesian here, Mike pronunciation of Jus Alpukat is actually spot on
For the Jus Alpukat recipe as far as I know most of the seller who sell it doesn't use any coffee in it. Instead they drizzle some chocolate condense milk on the wall of the glass, that's why the color is darker when you mix it. And I think it is work as a drink because as far as I know there is no savory meal that use avocado in Indonesian cuisine, so we doesn't really associate avocado as a savory ingredient
one upping this because this is the version I'm familiar with!
I think he use more cafe style, that ussually call avocado coffee, still use chocolate condense milk tough
In the juice stalls all around my city it’s quite common to ask the seller to add a sachet of instant coffee in your Jus Alpukat though.. but maybe it’s just regional thing
I've had it with coffee in it, sans chocolate, but at an Indonesian restaurant here in NYC. The owner said she had grown up drinking it, but as Leva said, maybe it's regional. Not sure exactly where in Indonesia she was from.
In my household, we always use coffee or mocha with our avocado and condensed milk, also usually we don't blend them, so we still have avocado texture there. I believe it's influenced by my Mom and Grandma who are from Ternate. But yeah most of the time they don't put coffee in for Jus Alpukat.
If I'm not mistaken, the soy sauce caramel that you're describing is a popular sauce for glutinous rice balls in Japan. That snack/sweet is called mitarashi dango
Except it also uses mirin
@ahoodedfigure1430 and sugar. Iirc its the same sauce used to coat teriyaki meat? So it helps balance the soy sauce which,appears to be what was ruining the ice cream experience for them.
Whoever gave Barry the ‘pretentious’ shirt is a genius! 😂
He is dainty and posh
I mean.. that's a pretty low bar for genius but I think you're right!
What brand is it?
Barry is the poster child for pretentiousness
I don’t get it? Why is Barry’s planish off white tee pretentious??
Immediately ran downstairs and tried the apple with salt and pepper. BRILLIANT! I became allergic to potatoes a few years ago and have been missing potato chips/crisps desperately. This works!!!🤯 Thanks guys!!!! ❤🥔❤
Is it just potatoes? You could get root veggie chips like beets and sweet potatoes maybe? 🥲
I saw someone roast radishes like you'd roast potatoes in the regular oven 'til they're done and then for a few minutes in the airfryer to make them more crispy.
@@karinberonius8799 Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into that. I love radishes! Appreciate the suggestion. 👍
@@OneWeekTime Thanks for the suggestions! Much appreciated! Just potatoes, I'm afraid. I have tried sweet potato chips and a few different veg-based chips (beets included 😋), and while delicious, I was still looking for that unique potato chip experience. However, this apple with S and P combo really clicked with me! I used a Macintosh apple. Highly recommend if you haven't tried it. *chef's kiss*
@@bernerandgoldenmom7143 ☺️👍
In India it's pretty common to pair fruits with spices like Aamchoor ( powdered raw mango), salt, pepper we have an entire recipe called fruit chaat and it's divine !!!
Idea for a pass it on: at the start of every round, the person cooking is given a random ingredient that they MUST include in the dish
They've done a pass it on where each new person is given a choice of 2 ingredients that they must use I think 🙂
This but with a twist. For example a desert course using fermented products or a breakfast using strong spices. Maybe not as far as natto and icecream, but I could see odd pairings like fish fingers and sweet custard working (thank you Doctor Who for the idea. It's delicious). Or maybe very tart or astringent fruits in a savory dish.
this but make it ingredients previously used in poker face
I knew the apple one would work because I make a white apple-pepper gravy for my porkchops.
Yeah I've cooked pork with green apples and just use salt and pepper. It was one of my great, great grandmother's recipes (maybe older but she wrote it down)
Apple sauce with pork is pretty normal and, in my mind, pork would always be cooked with the usual salt and pepper.
Black pepper on strawberries is a classic combination, so I knew apples and salt/pepper would work.
Pork chops and applesauce is a classic from childhood. I've done it with a chunkier homemade savoury applesauce. Onions boiled down with the apples, salt and pepper, maybe a but of something else for a hint of spice. Some herbs might work, but savoury applesauce is great.
Apples and old cheddar is a fairly common pairing too so I fully agree.
I personally love to eat sour apple or under-ripe mango with salt+chilli powder, also banana with peanut butter. In certain parts of Indonesia, we also eat pisang goreng (deep-fried plantain) with sambal 😋
Sounds great!
Pisang goreng with sambal sounds awesome to be honest!
I like banana and peanut butter; also apple and peanut butter.
I only like unripe bananas with my peanut butter; if it's ripe it's sweet on sweet and that's overwhelming
I only like unripe bananas, or just barely ripe!
Since this was a normals only episode (unless the chefs were there behind the camera) I would love to see them cook/bake something using these combos and see what the chefs think of it with no info going in
I love this style of video. It would be fun to see the inverse of this, where you give the normals finished/combined foods and have them work out the pairing.
Balsamic vinegar and strawberries with a little sugar is lovely with clotted cream ice cream 😊
I put salt/pepper on my apple slices with a bit of Balsamic reduction drizzled over. Really nice, can't really describe it.
that sounds delicious!
It works really well with strawberries too
Do a quick pickled apple
Its like apples on a salad delicious
Balsamic (either a reduction, or the real, proper expensive stuff) on vanilla or strawberry icecream is delicious.
Also a few years ago over here in Australia, Cadbury made a Vegemite chocolate that was weirdly good. It did the salted caramel thing mostly, but also enhanced the funk that vegemite has.
I reckon the right amount of marmite will probably have the same effect, but i dont know what the ratio would... Probably only a tiny amount.
It's delicious on fresh strawberries too.
Balsamic glaze is the best way to get some kind of value from those strawberries and peaches you get at the supermarket that look better than they taste.
@@bmljenny ooh, never tried it on peaches. Will have to remember.
BTW chocolate and Marmite has been a thing for over a decade, made famous by Paul A. Young
I went into this looking at new flavor pairs, but I gotta say, i'm more interested in the fact that I never knew what "bubblegum _flavoring"_ actually was before this!
So you're telling me that that sweet classic taste is actually a little bit of everything, including the most popular gum flavors? I can't believe it has banana, pineapple, cinnamon, and *cloves* of all things! I can see why the wintergreen, but you never really taste it...
maybe the boys can try making their own bubble gum flavor from the raw ingredients?
That might have been that specific bubblegum drink. I think the 'bubblegum flavour' is a type of aromatic esther, 'cause you can synthesize bubblegum flavour rather straightforwardly. That's where it came from- someone in a lab was mixing stuff together, thought a chemical smelled nice, figured out it wasn't toxic, and used it as a flavouring.
@@Earthenfist Ah, I getcha. Thanks, I thought the flavors were too subtle to actually be used in regular bubblegum flavored gum.
5:36 grilled watermelon with salt & pepper is one of my favs
Oooh really?! Gotta try that!
Drizzle of balsamic vinegar and crumbled feta and it's amazing on top of a leafy salad.
it's subtle, but 1:11 "Jamie loves bacon, lol lol lol" and the camera shakes from whoever laughing. 😂 man, I love this channel.
Baz is a genius. I love marmite and vanilla ice cream. I'm so excited to try them together / make desserts with those flavours in tandem.
9:47 First thing that crossed my mind was the Avolatte. A latte inside of an avocado....and im betting that Barry had one of those already😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Jamie and Bazzles together are a force of nature
"Never trust him on a night."
Would love to hear some of the stories behind that comment about Ben. 😂😂😂
😂 one day maybe 🤣
@SortedFood maybe this weekend. It could be part Janice trivia.😅
Jamie's expression with the Marmite was priceless. Would love to see more of these. How about trying mint and peanut butter or mint and peanuts? Back in the day I used to put peanut butter chocolate candies and chocolate mint bar pieces in with ice cream and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Vanilla ice cream and pumpkin seed oil is the elevated, tastier version of that soy sauce combo! It’s a pretty popular combination in Austria and tastes AMAZING!
Little do you know: They have already done that in a previous weird combo video. It is a pretty good video.
Loved this guys! Now take your scientific findings and prepare a perfectly balanced dish for Ebbers. May I suggest a sundae with coffee avocado ice cream, caramelized bubblegum bacon, and marmite sauce, he'd love that! 😆
I love the Sorted community, this video was really interesting and entertaining but then I spent quite a while surfing the comments because they’re entertainment in themselves!!!
6:16 From not know knowing polysaccharides (not a parrot with sugar) to having a control in experiments, we all grew up.
Can’t wait for the Wild Weekender. It’ll be a sunny distraction during a weekend filled with rain. ☀️
It's going to be so good!
I'm so happy I was able to get the entire weekend free of anything for this.😁
I started putting sea salt on orange slices earlier this year and it is unexpectedly delicious and refreshing, especially on a hot day. I'm going to have to try adding pepper now.
Pepper and orange is really delicious! Black pepper has a lot of floral depth that works really well with bright (but also floral) orange.
Ooh thanks for the tip! I’m on a high salt diet for POTS and I’m always looking for new ways to get salt in!
I feel like that’s kind of a riff on what makes margaritas so delicious 🤤 can’t wait to try that one
Love when you guys do experiments like these!
I have a one-pan baked dinner with chicken and apples I use on my weekends, so I definitely already knew the salt/pepper combo worked really nicely with the apples. I also just really love oddball food combos that don't seem like they should work on paper to begin with so I actively seek these out when I can for something new and punchy.
You guys always make my days better!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Toasted Sesame goes really well on apple slices. So does a combo of apricot jam+peanut butter+taijin seasoning
What an outstanding video from you three. Very nice to see these combinations in action, would never have tested it myself. :)
Many greetings from Germany.
I love that you guys actually talk about flavour profiles and try and train viewers' palettes and brains to consider what they're eating -- rather than just saying "OMG THIS IS AMAZING DELICIOUS MUST EAT" or "OMG DISGUSTING GROSS TIKTOK TREND HORRIBLE". While I do think elements of clickbait have crept in to the channel over time, that is probably inevitable in a competitive enviroment. You deserve to be commended for how considered this video is. Great watch!
I was raised putting salt on fruit and everyone thought I was strange for it. Try kiwi or watermelon. Change your life.
Watermelon with Balsamic Vinaigrette, Feta Chesse, and Pepper is a favorited mine
In the southern states salt on watermelon was fairly common
One of the strangest things I've seen people do ( I have tried it, didn't like it) was crumble "Cool Ranch" Doritos over chocolate ice cream. It's a thing in certain areas of the Southern United States, people argue over how much to crumble the Doritos (powder, or still a little bit chunky), if the spicy Doritos are better... it's something to try, anyway.
I am from North Dakota in the States and shall be trying this. Never hear of it but I like both individually so why not give it a go!?
LOL. As Barry said "if a chef was here..." I literally thought "... he'd say -- well, obviously".
I loved this! More please!
I bet balsamic glaze would be amazing with vanilla icecream! I love balsamic and strawberries so I think it would work.
Missed opportunity to say “Hello!” in a loop like in the good ole days. Also, excited to see new flavour combos.
Happy Wednesday to SortedFood HQ and the Community!
From watching these guys for years, it's a joy. Does seem like chefs are just skill, experience, and the knowledge of how things taste and where to use them. Well cool.
Slices of unripe green mango or jicama (singkamas) + sauteed shrimp paste and Champorado (chocolate rice porridge) + cooked dried salted fish (either dried anchovies (dilis) or dried sardines (tuyo))
Love these combo flavor videos!
And dont worry mates! Just ask Jamie: everything is better with 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓
I've had soy sauce flavoured soft serve ice cream in Japan a few times around tourist attractions. Some of the bigger vendors will have all sorts of flavours like wasabi, macha, sesame etc. In my experience they do taste just like vanilla ice cream with the added flavours and they work really well!
When I was a kid in the 1950s - 1960s I remember my grandfather putting salt and pepper on his watermelon. When I mentioned it to another family member later, I was told, "Nobody does that!" But the memory is very clear, and this video confirms that I saw what I saw.
French fries dipped in a chocolate shake. Strawberries dipped in marshmallow, and then roasted on an open fire. I have a list of 100 more of the best combinations. Olives with a hint of vanilla, and sea salt.
Watermelon and soy sauce go well together. And if you add some furikake seasoning to that it’s absolutely delicious.
I'm gonna try that because I love all 3
One of my favourite snacks is a Granny Smith apple dipped in soy sauce so will definitely be trying it with watermelon now, thank you!
If you swapped out soy for miso on clotted cream ice cream it could be a better combo. Miso is so good in fatty foods, miso butter is amazing for example.
CANNOT WAIT for this weekend!
Dill Pickle and peanut butter is an amazing combo. I also love peanut butter on a grilled cheese, or with and apple or banana. The sweet salty pairs with so much
Weirdest one from Lebanon has to be figs with Zaatar (which is neither a condiment not a spice mix lads 😏😂)
Gotta try that 🥴❤️
Oh my. I apologise in advance if anyone has to try my weirdest one I tweeted! I loved it, but know most won’t 😂😂
Same
What was your flavor?
@@Urandayumm a few like the worse one were Hummus with cinnamon and porridge instead of water it's with Akdimal.
One best is watermelon and ginger
@@moonbook12 I hope they didn't force anyone on the show to pre test them hahaha.. Although the watermelon ginger could work
@@Uranday agree, I think they did
Flavourparing
In Germany we have a dish called "Käsespätzle mit Apfelbrei", there is no good translation for it so you have to look it up.
To prepare it, you need a strong swiss or austrian cheese, put roasted onions on top and than eat with cold apple mash, tastes amazing!
Love ❤️ this concept
I've always loved the combo of (green) apple and cheddar cheese.
After 1 or two more of these vids I’d love to see you all do a weird pairing battle using what you’ve learned!
Great Show! Really enjoyed this one and the crazy combinations were a first for me. Might try the bubblegum and bacon, two of my favourite flavours!! I had an idea for a format and i'm not sure if this has been done yet, but it would be nice for the 'normals' to get blind folded, eat a dish from start to finish, then recreate it without having seen it at all and they have to come as close to the dish they ate as possible. Thanks for the show guys!
A couple things some people do in the US that I may or may not agree with:
-sliced tomatoes with sugar
-watermelon with salt
- dumping salted peanuts in a bottle of beer
Jamie talked about the candied Bacon with peanut butter sauce. But as a kid, we would eat peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. It was just normal American Bacon with a medium amount of peanut butter on the bread. It had that savory but creamy and slightly sweet taste, it is very tasty.
Chocolate and basil! Amazing for cake/ganache etc
You guys are missing on the sour cream & onion crisps + milk chocolate combo
I personally really like salted and peppered apple fried together with onion and livers or with roasted pork.
Same, those are two very old family recipes that were written down over 100 years ago by my great,great grandmother.(great grandparents passed in 2006 at 108 still out on their farm in the mid west)
Vanilla ice cream and toasted sesame oil is also a weird but amazing combo!!!! The nuttiness of the sesame oil pairs well with the sweet, creamyness of the ice cream
I personally love fresh jalapeño on a salted butter frosted sticky dark chocolate brownie! Something about the spice with the butter sweetness! I don’t know if others do this but it’s my favorite homemade dessert!
I can tell you apples (any variant) chopped into small bites and then tossed with salt, paprika/red chili powder/fresh green chilis and mustard is a great snack. You can do that with unripe mangoes, guavas, pears etc and you will love that.
weird combos probably even the internet hasn't tried
Hot Cheetos with garlic mayo
Waffles with Thai sweet chili sauce
Eggs with melted marshmallow
French fries with coffee syrup
Grilled chicken breast with strawberry/apricot jam.
I would absolutely adore seeing Ben react to this video! Seeing his reactions to all this would be amazing!
We need another one of these 😂😂❤❤
12:00 As an Indonesian, I can confirm that Mike's pronunciation of "Jus Alpukat" is quite spot on! Well done, Mike!
I like salt + pepper + dried minced / dehydrated garlic when eating melons or apples. I love catching that small piece of garlic when taking a bite.
Coffee and lemon are good together (particularly if you're adding a coffee liqueur and fresh lemon juice to a cocktail. Try equal parts dark rum, kahlua, Angostura bitters and lemon juice; dry shake with an egg white; shake breifly with ice; strain into a glass; serve)
Green apple with salt and a chunk of cheddar cheese is a terrific snack.
9:14 with my mom I've eaten a "salad" quite often over the last 15-ish years, consisting of green apples and celery (both leaves and stem) with a basic vinaigrette (pepper, salt, vinegar, olive oil) and it's grean, so it totally makes sense to me that works
My favourite sandwich is bacon,avocado and fried egg. Plus most hard and unripe fruits are lovely when sprinkled with a mix of salt and chilli powder, or you can add powdered chinese dried plums. Delicious 😍
Gonna have to try some of these!
Funny about the apple, i been eating mine with salt for decades =) Not always but it does fulfil many cravings...
My Sicilian grandpa used to make me apple and grapefruit/orange slices with salt or salt& chili powder as palate cleanser. Love that you loved it too!
apple, honey, and fresh cracked pepper is my go-to, especially with some yummy creamy/nutty soft cheese on a cracker...oh boy...perfection!
My favorite flavor combo that I have stumbled on is peppered beef jerky and black coffee. If you eat a piece of peppered beef jerky, and then take a sip of black coffee you will get a flood of flavors from the coffee that are otherwise muted. The most prominent flavor being sweetness.
These are so much fun and your reactions are both hilarious and enjoyable. I would recommend trying Tajin on things. My mom always added salt or sakt and pepper ti melins whuch is delicious.
Loving him eating the smoothie from the jar😂😂😂😂
I did add pepper to my apples a few times but I never thought about adding salt as well. Very interesting find
Concerning the apple: it's veeery common in Belgium to pair apple sauce with croquettes and meat (chicken) as a dish, and Cologne has a dish called Himmel un Aad, which is mashed potato mixed with apple sauce.
Also rabbit stewed with prunes.. or savoy cabbage with stewed cinnamon pears.
Try sprinkling cinnamon on pepperoni pizza. I stumble upon this combination by mistake (chili flake and cinnamon containers look alike). I refused to let my last slice of pizza to go to waste so I ate it. You will not be disappointed!
I love apple, pepper, garlic, and salt on a pork loin slow cooked for a Sunday dinner in the autumn when apples are in season from a local orchard!
On using salt & pepper on the apples. I keep a pot of chaat masala on my desk to sprinkle on fruits for extra flavour. Salt & pepper are two of the ingredients in it, though the others really help add as well as bring out the fruity flavours.
Love salt on apples!!
Roasting apples with olive oil and black pepper is wonderful
Truffle Soy Sauce + Vanilla Bean Ice cream is my pretentious treat whenever I wanna shock people. Also Ube + Chocolate ice-cream w/ Sour Sugar is my guilty creation and its FANTASTIC!
You guys never fail to make me smile 😄
i'm definitely gonna use some of these pairings for my oat meals lmao! and Mike, no worries, your pronunciation of 'jus alpukat' was perfect!
In Indonesia, we mash the avocado then blend it with ground coffee (no added water) and sugar. For avocado juice (Jus Alpukat), you just blend avocado, chocolate condensed milk, and ice.
One of my all time favorite apple snacks is taking a green apple and slicing it into thin but wide strips and adding cracked black pepper, balsamic glaze, and feta! One of the best combos!
We've always eaten Granny Smith apples sprinkled with salt and pepper. Try it in an apple pie, delicious. I never tire of Mike's facial expressions.
I mix vanilla ice cream and either rice krispies or corn flakes. It is like having a bowl full of the last inch of ice cream cone ... lovely.
no need to apologizing mike, as an Indonesian I can assure you that your pronunciation on "Jus Alpukat" is spot on imo
I always wondered why I like apples in my salads so much, another reason to season your salads.
6:51 the pepper with apples makes sense to me because you add mace to your apple pie filling. Along with other spices but mace is kind of a peppery spice and works really well in a apple pie. I think adding a pinch of white pepper or something could be quite nice in a pie.
