@@f22raptoruscg Have you read the ingredient list? They do list "White Truffle Powder Concentrate" as well as "White Truffle Essence", so it seems they use a little bit of both.
The smoothies, My guess it's freeze dried ingredients that are powdered and packaged. Freeze dried produce is expensive... But not that level of expensive. So f you can get your own freeze dried stuff, it'll store for ages so you can do this yourself.
@@SortedFood I'm lucky enough that a local strawberry farm does their own on-site freeze drying, and I've used their produce in smoothies before. As long as you let the water do its job rehydrating, it works really well.
I thought of this as well. I kinda want to try and dry my own ingredients, powder them and try this. These would be great addition for hiking foods. Kinda difficult to get any fruit/veg/berries also eating dried meat and nuts does get boring af.
Something I realized watching this video, is that you guys truly are a team and everyone is important to the show. Despite not having the "chefs" in this video, it is no less informative or interesting, and still lots of fun. You all are awesome.
I think insect oil and powder are great. Once you start adding bigger pieces of bugs I struggle. I've had grasshopper, spider, and worm. If I never eat another bug I'll regret nothing. The oil and powder are fantastic for providing more sustainable alternatives. I've got a relative who runs an aquaponic or hydroponics sort of set up with insects used in multiple spots of the cycle.
To be fair, Danish is a difficult language to get one's mouth around. I thought "strikke" was phonetically pronounced "strike-ah"; when my mother said "stroo-gh", I decided, nope, never trying to pronounce ANYTHING in Danish again. (context: I inherited my great-grandmother's Danish knitting patterns, and can't read them but adore looking at them)
If those smoothie packs actually have the amount of fruit, veg and vitamins as they’re claiming it would be amazing for my rougher depression days when it can be really hard to eat healthily due to the effort associated with it.
Eating healthy is such a hassle for such a long term benefit, you want to eat an apple and feel like you can take on the world, but then you still feel terrible because of how poorly your health is handled the rest of the time. I'm trying to do better by mixing healthy things into the unhealthy, eating white rice with some softened cinnamon apple pieces, adding more vegetables to the pot when i slow cook meat, actively being healthy is tough when you're on a low budget, especially when the main grocery shopper in your household loves to buy frozen junk.
My way to mix in healthier low effort items is buying microwave steam bag rice, microwave steam bag veg and then a nice sauce like teriyaki or a tomato and pepper sauce, great for when I'm having a super low mood day and makes me feel like I'm at least getting some healthy food
@krwilson0407 buying packaged rice will save you a ton of money, and packaging. Buy a little rice cooker (you can literally make one serving at a time) and a big bag of rice. You'll save, long term.
Loved seeing Mike and Jamie keeping their stickers on. I know Mike works the camera a lot but it’s so nice to have him in front of it! Maybe next time you have just the normals all together you could do some “while the chef’s away” style content. Breaking classical training cooking rules in favor of more experimental ideas, or working with cheaper/tinned/frozen items the chefs might normally turn up their noses at.
I have seen posters of the sparkling tea near me and have always been curious about it! (I live in Copenhagen) The way you say Rød (red) and Blå (blue) is kinda funny 😂
I don't get it though.. What's the difference exactly between this sparkling tea and (unsweetened) sparkling iced tea? The latter has been around for ages..
The Sparkling Tea and the hot sauce were my favorites. I do agree with Mike that the price for the hot sauce is a bit too steep, BUT it would make an excellent gift for a foodie. It's one to put in your wish list on Amazon, where this is sold.
Stuck inside, waiting on university offers and worried for the future. I always look forward to seeing these videos and relaxing a little. Thanks a lot Sorted!
I'm from Scandinavia and hearing you guys say the name of the sparkling tea is just hilarious 😂 Anyway Blå actually means blue and Rød means red over here 🇸🇯🇩🇰🇸🇪✌
*watching:* I want to try that tea.... I want to try that tea! *inner voice:* please don't be expensive... please don't be expensive *watching:* YES!!!!!!!!!!!
The tea does seem like an interesting prospect. As a recovering bore, I mean alcoholic, I'd love for there to be an intriguing and flavourful alternative to absolutely fucking everything people suggest for you.
I immediately started searching to see if could buy some, but sadly here at the bottom of the world in Kiwi A-go-go Land (aka New Zealand) nobody is selling it anywhere near me.
Was very interested in trying this as well, but unfortunately based on the website, the only online retailer that sells it in the US is charging $40usd. There are also only two shops that sell it, one in Washington, and one in New York.
@@HooverMan That's a darn shame. I was also about to go searching for some but I stopped by in the comments first to see if anyone had done the legwork. Sadly, it seems like you have
I work as a bartender in Copenhagen, we've been serving Sparkling tea now for at least a year and a half. It does not always sound good to guests but it's always a hit when they try it out.
Just watched another video of yours and this came up...perfect timing :D I just love you guys - your content truly makes me smile! Lots of love for the whole crew!
The insect oil is a really good concept that I would like to see more present in consumer goods, although as an animal-based product, it's unlikley to become ubiquitous due to dietry and religious lifestyles (vegan, kosher, etc.). Would be interetsing to know if it's tested for allergic responses (compare with nut oils) and how it works as an alternative to cooking oils (olive, canola, etc.).
I can answer the allergies question their are deffinetly people out there allergic to it and the danger is that most people allergic to superworms and mealworms and crickets and such don't ever find out unless they start keeping reptiles that eat insects so they'll go into it with the oil with no idea they're allergic to it
Yeah testing for allergic responses would sure be intersting. When I bought some mealworm nuggets they did come with a warning that people with shellfish allergies should be cautious since there could be cross-reactions. But I think only once these foods become more common and accepted there will be more data and interest in studying this further.
@@HarrDarr You probably wouldn't like a lot of the food you eat if you knew how it was processed. Compared to a lot of it, insect oil is a lot cleaner.
@@joshherbers7203 Why would you make presumptions about what I know or do not know about my food? It's pretty simple, I would never intentionally put that shit in my body. This is like making an argument for chinese gutter oil in your fast food.
In the last year I’ve had to give up alcohol for medical reasons. The sparkling teas looked fantastic and made me really excited to have something to drink with my friends when we can meet in person again and not feel like I’m missing out.
The amazing thing about this video is, specially around the spelling tea, all 3 of the home cooks have amazing insights on the products, which frankly is good. In a way the chefs influence is with their knowledge, but these guys actually have a personality we can relate to. I would like to see only the normals again in another video.
Kencko seems a lot based on Evive smoothies, even down to the subscription model; which was founded at least 2 years prior. I do admit though the powder format seems more convenient for shipping purposes as it's lighter and take less space.
Yeah that's the advantage for the company, but is there really an advantage for the consumer? If it tastes like a fruit smoothie then all that fuss and expense is for nothing. YOu can buy fruit to make your smoothie taste like a fruit smoothie.
@@AlanHope2013 well the point is that fruit goes bad, there’s a mess you have to clean up to blend it properly, it’s pricey, availability depends on the season... none of that applies to the powdered version (except for the price).
@@AlanHope2013 I don't know for Kencko, but as for Evive they put a lot of unusual ingredients (not just fruit-based smoothies), which makes them healthier and less expensive than if you did your own at home.
The freeze dried smoothie ingredients remind me of the freeze dried meal pouches that Barry made for one of your challenges. The freeze dried smoothie powder also reminds me of the individual packets of water flavoring that are sold in boxes at the supermarket by the instant drinks.
As a scandinavian, more specifically a dane, it feels so nice to see someone from non-nordic countries celebrating out culinary culture! I think i speak for most vikings here, when i say we are veyr proud of the food we have created throughout centuries, and are beyond excited that the rest of the world is finally discovering our inventions too! :)
Fantastic video, yet again! Interesting content as always. I've wondering though, have you guys ever cooked slavic dishes? I have looked everywhere but I don't find anything. If you haven't done any, it would be very interesting to see!
I remember vividly they made bigos one time, a couple of years ago, but I certainly second the request for more Slavic dishes of all kinds! Somehow they don't often come over to that part of Europe in their culinary journeys all over the world :)
@@Cationna Ohhh, thank you for telling me, I will check to see if I can find that. And I think it's high time to venture to the Slavic countries, amongst others they haven't explored yet. :)
I'd love to see how that insect oil compares in more raw applications like vinaigrettes, but also with high heat cooking like searing meat. What's the smoke point? That's one of the biggest and most important differentiators of oil application. Maybe it's higher than veg, hence the lack of browning? Might be good for frying in that case. Also love the sparkling tea. I don't think you were missing a chef, I think you just picked really well!
That oil, is brilliant, i'm all for easily-renewable insect-based products, transformed to be palatable for areas of the world less used to consuming insects, and most importantly, _filling an important culinary role, and not just a snacking niche or the like._
I do think its a good idea. However...I did get really squicked out at the idea of eating it. I'm not afraid of bugs. I feed THOSE EXACT bugs to my lizard. Which maybe is the issue. But as soon as my brain caught up to superworm oil I just *shudder*.
I’d have never even thought about going anywhere near insect products, but thanks to your videos I’d definitely be willing try swapping less eco-friendly oils for that insect one!
There is such potential to help alcoholics, let alone non-alcoholics who would still be healthier if they drank less, with sparkling tea! A non alcoholic drink that feels "grown up", I. E. Not just ordering water while your friends have beer, and not a sugary soft drink which feels like what children have. You do want your drink to be somewhat intense, sippable, refreshing, best appreciated slowly. I'd love to see this one take off but at cheaper prices where you aren't "paying for the experience".
Sparkling grape juice is very common where I live. It's about 4 bucks and packaged like wine. We'll serve it to everyone if there's anyone who can't drink coming to the party. It tastes great, so if anybody gets huffy about the fact that is isn't real champagne, we remind them that it's exactly the same thing minus the alcohol. And people who are really like it dry often use sparkling cider(dark apple juice) which is sold as a champagne replacement; I don't personally like the taste of that though.
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 I would say you're the one who doesn't understand. A sense of normalcy about what you can have, especially in a group drinking what you want to have instead, is very important. I don't personally think there's anything childish about water or soda, but it just isn't beer or wine and being forced to stand out, have people look at you and demand an explanation and JUDGE, only makes things harder. I'm not an alcoholic, and the amount of peer pressure I get about not drinking when I go out with my friends is ridiculous (not unkindly meant, but it doesn't really matter). I cannot imagine how hard it would be to stick to my guns if I were embarrassed or LONGING for what people were trying to get me to do. I'd just lose my job, and that would be getting away easy compared to falling of the bandwagon.
Aw, I was wondering what that was going to look like! You might be able to find US based brands though, I know I've had some advertised to me but doubted their taste (tea and alcohol? Idk I'm skeptical). But now that they're saying it tasted good, I'm curious. 🤔
I have a real love/hate relationship with these videos. On the one hand, I love seeing you guys try out new and exciting products. On the hand, I absolutely hate the fact that the prices become downright obscene to try to get here in the states.
Totally stoked for the bug oil. And I think industrial level is the PERFECT place for it to start. The vast majority of people don't read the labels that closely, especially on products they already use. It should sneak right in under the radar, especially if they come up with some fancy industrial term for it.
I have just made my first packs app recipe. Lemon baked salmon. It was really easy to follow the instructions and its the 1st time I've eaten leafy salad ever. So thank you

As a Dane, I have to say, it isn't called "Bla" It's called "Blå", which means blue. And to add to this; all of Copenhagens products is named in danish, mostly after colours. (Except "Vinter" which is Winter.)
Please please please dedicate an episode to your staff and your teams. Have them do a challenge or two. Maybe make a mega challenge of like 10 people split into two teams made of of the usual 5 and another 5 people from the teams. Maybe staff vs the usual 5 as a challenge. It would be super cool to get to know the team better.
I love that the sparkling tea is becoming more of thing. We´ve had a few sparkling tea drinks (non alcholic ones and not in a wine bottle) in the shops for like 1-1,5 years and they are very refreshing. It is more expensive than soda or just sparkling water but perhaps in the future with a wider success it´ll become a bit cheaper.
Kencko seemed like they're using a lot of unnecessary plastics!! Strange that they're so much about health but didn't go the compostable packaging route?
I'm also leery about them because they're using really Goop-y kind of "means nothing, feels good" language, trying a bit hard to come across as some kind of superfood.. I have no means to verify this where I am, so take this as just a gut feeling.
Took me a while to figure out what Jamie was talking about, when he mentioned the "Copenhagen's Sparkling Tea Road". Which road? Ah, he was trying to pronounce rød! Bless him. It's a horrible word. But yes, the sparkling teas are amazing.

Yeah I agree. Great product, very acceptable, and I say that as someone who would struggle to eat insects in their natural form.
Love the concept of the sparkling teas. Off to see if I can get my hands on a couple of bottles...
Hey March 14th is on a Sunday this year, which is "Pi day" and people celebrate by eating pies. Maybe we could get an ultimate pie battle for pi day?
I’d have never even thought about going anywhere near insect products, but thanks to your videos I’d definitely be willing try swapping less eco-friendly oils for that insect one!
Hearing Jamie trying to say Rød was incredibly entertaining to me and Blå made me do a spit take. 😅😂
Thank you for being really nice and open thinking about other people that could use those products.
There is such potential to help alcoholics, let alone non-alcoholics who would still be healthier if they drank less, with sparkling tea! A non alcoholic drink that feels "grown up", I. E. Not just ordering water while your friends have beer, and not a sugary soft drink which feels like what children have. You do want your drink to be somewhat intense, sippable, refreshing, best appreciated slowly. I'd love to see this one take off but at cheaper prices where you aren't "paying for the experience".
Sparkling grape juice is very common where I live. It's about 4 bucks and packaged like wine. We'll serve it to everyone if there's anyone who can't drink coming to the party. It tastes great, so if anybody gets huffy about the fact that is isn't real champagne, we remind them that it's exactly the same thing minus the alcohol. And people who are really like it dry often use sparkling cider(dark apple juice) which is sold as a champagne replacement; I don't personally like the taste of that though.
There are loads of sparkling fruit juices that are very nice. They come in cans or green bottles like old beer bottles.
@@adde9506 I hate sparkling grape juice, but love sparkling apple juice. Here you can also get alcohol free wines and stuff.
You don't seem to understand how alcoholism works.
Alcoholics are addicts, not kids who want to feel "grown up".
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 I would say you're the one who doesn't understand. A sense of normalcy about what you can have, especially in a group drinking what you want to have instead, is very important. I don't personally think there's anything childish about water or soda, but it just isn't beer or wine and being forced to stand out, have people look at you and demand an explanation and JUDGE, only makes things harder. I'm not an alcoholic, and the amount of peer pressure I get about not drinking when I go out with my friends is ridiculous (not unkindly meant, but it doesn't really matter). I cannot imagine how hard it would be to stick to my guns if I were embarrassed or LONGING for what people were trying to get me to do. I'd just lose my job, and that would be getting away easy compared to falling of the bandwagon.
Finally some of the Danish innovations There is so much Danish stuff you should come visit Copenhagen food festival at some point
Is it safe having just the ‘not quite normals not quite chefs’ alone in the kitchen?
Giving me ramen with nutella in a bread vibes
No worries, the hobs aren't on. Then again, Barry is there...
the amount of excitement I get when I see a new video from this channel isn’t normal. Literally what I look forward to every week sos
the sparkling teas are named 'rød' and 'blå', which just means 'red' and 'blue', like the colour of the circle on each bottle😭
And the way they say the names are (unsurprisingly) completely wrong
I’m keeping my eye out for the sparkling teas, sound like great alternative to brunch mimosas
FYI: "Rød & Blå", means "red & blue" in Danish
det er so cringe når man høre ikke dansker der prøver at udtale danske ord på engelsk, især når Æ, Ø og Å er involveret.
@@bardedkgaming2529 or as anyone remotely knowing danish.
Agreed
@@bardedkgaming2529 næsten lige så cringe som at høre Willy Søvndal tale engelsk 😂
Honestly you guys have become an educational channel for me. I love learning about these food innovations!!
Me trying to get sparkling tea in the US . . . 40$ per bottle. When they said it was 13£ absolute steal!
It's not even available in my country, so you're lucky.
Aw, I was wondering what that was going to look like! You might be able to find US based brands though, I know I've had some advertised to me but doubted their taste (tea and alcohol? Idk I'm skeptical). But now that they're saying it tasted good, I'm curious. 🤔
The only thing keeping me sane these days is watching your videos.. Its been years but you guys still lights me up. Thanks guys
I have a real love/hate relationship with these videos. On the one hand, I love seeing you guys try out new and exciting products. On the hand, I absolutely hate the fact that the prices become downright obscene to try to get here in the states.
I can't even get much of it here in Australia, I tried to get the plum pudding in the ceramic pudding bowl but can't get it here :'(
@@MaZEEZaM I looked for it and much more over $100.00 in US. Not worth it.
Would love to see a backpacking meal challenge, boil in the bag/ready to eat and dehydrated. Also some home prepped options
Barry did that once.
Totally stoked for the bug oil. And I think industrial level is the PERFECT place for it to start. The vast majority of people don't read the labels that closely, especially on products they already use. It should sneak right in under the radar, especially if they come up with some fancy industrial term for it.
Watching out for people like you, I DO read the labels.
I have just made my first packs app recipe. Lemon baked salmon. It was really easy to follow the instructions and its the 1st time I've eaten leafy salad ever. So thank you
Great to hear Daniel... Stick with it... There's so much to enjoy over the coming weeks.
Mike, buy the Truff sauce. Treat yo self!
(Honestly, I really love the Truff sauce. You’re not wrong; It’s perfect on Mac and cheese)
Thank you for your videos! They are just what I've need lately. I've even been binging the old videos. Thank you!
So, no chefs? This is like the end of the Christmas Carol video.
Three guys, no chef.
@@davidant8901 Three normals no chef
Whoever worked on that Truff product design and marketing are genius, that looks wonderful
Thanks guys for all you do! I'm a bit of an Anglophile (One who likes things British) and love watching and listening to you all (love the accent). As an American, I like to learn about what foods you lot enjoy vs myself as a Southern American.
You boys really are my favorite to watch for foodie shows. My Grampa and I used to watch Shan Kan Can Cook or however you spell it from back in the day 🔥🍴 Keep up the Great Work
As a Dane, I have to say, it isn't called "Bla" It's called "Blå", which means blue.
And to add to this; all of Copenhagens products is named in danish, mostly after colours. (Except "Vinter" which is Winter.)
Loving the sparkling teas; what about a food challenge to see what pairs best with what?
You need to do a reaction video of Ebbers reacting to the Normals' puns since they've put up with his puns for every other Food Trend video.
My brother bought my father the Truff 3 set for Christmas. It's incredible!
Please please please dedicate an episode to your staff and your teams. Have them do a challenge or two. Maybe make a mega challenge of like 10 people split into two teams made of of the usual 5 and another 5 people from the teams. Maybe staff vs the usual 5 as a challenge. It would be super cool to get to know the team better.
My family LOVES Truff hot sauces. The black is my favorite and it’s half the price of the white. You should definitely try it.
12:22, I was expecting an exasperated sigh from Janice, until I realised it's not Pass It On...
@@ZehraDogru0 ah whoops, meant a few seconds before that (Jamie's joke about it being full of bugs and expecting it to be funny 😜)
Perfect Danish pronounciation of the colours "red" and "blue".. now "rhode" and "blah"!
Great video, guys! Love from Scandinavia
I haven't seen James in ages... He needs to come back for more of these videos so we get the Ying and yang of the gang and their thoughts!
He’s working from home dealing with a family issue
Omg I want that Sparkling Tea near me. I love tea, the idea of a sparkling iced tea is just Oh YES.
I bought those smoothies awhile back. They're just... the absolute worst. I couldnt find a single one that didnt make me gag. Plus they're expensive.
I love that the sparkling tea is becoming more of thing. We´ve had a few sparkling tea drinks (non alcholic ones and not in a wine bottle) in the shops for like 1-1,5 years and they are very refreshing. It is more expensive than soda or just sparkling water but perhaps in the future with a wider success it´ll become a bit cheaper.
This insect oil sounds fascinating! I would be so up for that in my pantry
Stop lying.
Awesome video as always. Loving mike's cardigan too. Modelling it well! I want one 😁
"Road" and "Bla" nooooooooo guys xD It's R-Ø-D and B-L-Å (as in red and blue in danish) xD
Right? xD
I physically cringed when I heard it
Don’t worry: Mispronunciations are second nature to them lol
@@A-Meda Haha yeah! but then again, the danish æøå is just cruel to english speaking people xD
I'd have just called them red and blue but my Danish pronunciation is about as bad as theirs!
The “soft D” is 100x worse. Spent a year living in Denmark, and trying to pronounce that bloody D killed me 😂
Not sure if you read messages on older videos, but I do enjoy this intro you had. Iconic for me!
When they said someone famous likes the Truff sauce, I thought they were gonna mention Mythical Chef Josh
i've always liked black teas in part because they had a sort of fruity smell similar to raisins. not surprised that sparkling tea would be good.
On behalf of all the Scandinavians: Å is pronounced like the O in Born. Ø is pronounced like the U in Burger
I'm learning Norwegian rn, and this comparison is AMAZING I literally never thought about the vowels like this
As a British person thank you.
And Æ is kind of like E in rest 👏
@@sarahreffstrupjrgensen7772 Wait, what? How? Rest has a pretty straight-forward Eh sound. Æ is more like the A in Bad.
@@piesecks lol nej 😂 Æ lyder som eh
I love you guys ... it’s like me and my military buddies hanging out
Kencko seemed like they're using a lot of unnecessary plastics!! Strange that they're so much about health but didn't go the compostable packaging route?
You could make plastic out of hemp or something else, anything but plastic
actually the smoothie sachets are compostable ☺
@@kat7659 I love this! Thanks for the info :)
@@Thishandleisalreadytaken100 No problem!
I'm also leery about them because they're using really Goop-y kind of "means nothing, feels good" language, trying a bit hard to come across as some kind of superfood.. I have no means to verify this where I am, so take this as just a gut feeling.
The sparkling tea is awesome! Had it over Christmas and I could honestly drink it all week long
Barry: "12 quid-ish"
My brain: quidditch?
Haha me too, fellow-Nikolina/Nicolina
@@nikolinaeriksson990 same name, same brain I guess
I’m really intrigued by the insect oil and I hope this will become a game changer in the commercial food industry, replacing palm oil.
Took me a while to figure out what Jamie was talking about, when he mentioned the "Copenhagen's Sparkling Tea Road". Which road? Ah, he was trying to pronounce rød! Bless him. It's a horrible word. But yes, the sparkling teas are amazing.
that sparkling tea reminds me of this thing we have in indo called ‘tebs’ which is like... soda tea
