I like how Ben accepted the Monica comparison because they're both "Chefy". What was left out is that she's also quite bossy and a control freak, perfectionist.
I absolutely love the fact that Ben hasn’t seen Friends, because I’ve seen a lot of episodes as mum and dad love it, gran and papa would binge it and was on the TV when I visited after football on a Sunday and my nan had the box set, so I understand lots of the references and quotes, but Ben didn’t understand how being compared to Monica was an ‘insult’ 😂😂 yes she’s a chef, but she’s also short tempered, bossy and domineering as a character 😂😂 poor Ebbers and the comparisons were quite accurate 😂😂 Jamie is definitely Joey Barry is undoubtedly Phoebe Mike is such a Rachel James is Chandler And Ebbers is probably Monica tbf 😂😂
Also! Earlier this year, English Heritage released a Victorian cookbook based on actual handwritten recipes from Avis Crocombe that they also cook from in videos on their channel. I'd love to see you guys tackle that, or maybe even do a collab when corona is over :)
Can we please have more of James and Ben experimenting with ideas? I actually learn a lot when they explain their thought process. I also learn a lot when it doesn't come out quite right and they fiddle with it to make it better.
"-it was painful to watch something about people who had friends." Wow, I, who has also not watched Friends (probably for that reason), feel attacked. Ben and I gonna commiserate over in the corner.
I've never been great at making friends (chronically ill since I was little so I missed a lot of school and the socialising you normally do as a kid plus I'm autistic so it was already harder for me) and that's kinda why I like it, for the same reason I love books, it's an escape into a different world where you get to be something and someone else. You feel all their emotions with them and in the end they feel like old friends who you can always go back to.
It's not about people who had friends. It is hard to watch [the sitcom I mean] because it was SO STUPID. Poor people affording such an apartment? In big city centre? none of them actually properly working? Yeaaah, sure. And not funny jokes? Nah, I'll pass.
Wait... Is that a lot? I usually eat 500g of beef mince on my own whenever I make myself a chilli! I can never be bothered to save it so I always have it for one meal (usually once or twice a week!)
@@ayersuk 500g is a lot of mince. If I make a bolognese type of sauce with 500g beef mince I'll eat at least 4 times out of that. Since you're a man you need a bit more protein than me in a day but not that much. I did a quick calculation out of my own curiosity, not to be preachy so please don't take this the wrong way. 500g beef mince (9% fat) has 103,5g protein and average man in the UK weights 84kg. Humans need 1,2g protein per kg if they exercise lightly and 1,5g if they do heavy exercise in a day. So average man in the UK needs 100,8g / 126g protein in day. That's pretty much your one meal, so I hope you eat lightly for the rest of the day.
Next cookbook: Feeding Hannibal- a Connoisseur's Cookbook from the TV-show Hannibal. Please. I would even send you guys one because I accidentally bought two a few years ago.
Someone may have answered this already, but the sandwich looks like a leftover Thanksgiving recipe, which means the turkey would be shredded, not sliced. Hence the volume measure.
We slice the breast, but anything left over we pick off the bone (resulting in shred), plus we usually don't bother slicing the dark meat, just pull it off the bone.
Barbara Danley I think what they’re saying is : most peoples’ family eat MOST of the carved bird on the day of - in slices. Next day, there’s usually not too much breast left for slices, so it gets pulled off in shreds to use for leftovers instead of keeping a giant bird skeleton in the fridge for too long LOL
Ben! In your Friday series, can you cover seasoning combinations for beginners? All I know how to do is lots of garlic and butter plus sometimes canned cream of mushroom soup. I don't know what herbs tend to go with what or how to combine them effectively. A video would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Ooh that would be good. I'm a pretty good cook but I know lots of people who aren't sure about seasoning combinations (my mum included I'm definitely the cook in the family) and a easy to understand and follow video about that sort of thing would be perfect. Also just as a tip freshly ground black pepper should go in nearly everything savory you make and things with potatoes or cheese in them always taste better with English or Dijon mustard in them.
Watching Mike’s expression when James says the trifle has 500g of meat, and the onion, is hilarious. The spectrum in the eaters. Mike: mind blown/so wierd- any normal human fan of the show. Ben: it’s food, it’s not amazing but I can still finish this plate. James: like a scientist dissecting flavors. Taking notes for “future” trifles? Like he is eating amd thinking how he could do better next time but WHEN would there ever need to be a next time?
what James did is the standard chef thing. If you ever see a chef eat anything he or she is less familiar with or done in a for the new way. they will often dig in to there food and asses everything they see and try to taste the individual item. to the length that chefs at a restaurant might just order a extra place so they can place all the items on it.
@@sirBrouwer I am not a chef, but I do the same thing. If I've ever eaten the thing - I can recreate the thing without recipe or instructions - I just remember textures, smells and flavors etc. Autistic brain for the win. At least sometimes :D
@@izuizabela6613 But do you also deconstruct the food at the restaurant. Like if you would order a burger do you eat it like you have been served. or do you open the bun. feel the bun, smell it, look what colour the bun has. eat a bit of the bun. (by then you don't even have started with the rest that you treat like that or worse) tasting is one thing but the chef like horror they can do with other chefs work can be terrible.
@@sirBrouwer I don't need to make vivisection of the dish. I just eat it as I got it and can recreate it. Seriously. Yes, of course, I will look at my dish, especially pretty plated or if in unusual shape [think molecular cusine or something they would serve you in Faviken] but I just eat the food like it was given to me and I can recreate it. Dunno, maybe a superpower then? Oftentimes friends would make me go with them to their fav place, eat the food they love the most and recreate it then :D The harder thing for me is to write down the recipe for someone else, since I always cook as I go, like granny would do ;)
@@izuizabela6613 then we are not really talking about the same thing are we? I was aiming at the idea that chefs have the annoying happed to actually vivisect their dish in a other restaurant then there own.
There's an unfortunate behind the scenes where it turned out Matt LeBlanc was eating food that David Schwimmer spat out, and didn't find out until after
My sister is a friend's fanatic and I didn't even make it halfway through the video before I had to go order the book for her...the recipes looked delicious and she will be so excited! I can't wait til it arrives and I can share this vid with her...
I might be convinced that Rachel made part of three recipes but I will never be convinced that she made half trifle and half Shepherd’s/Cottage pie because there is little chance of that Shepherd’s pie being supposed to be topped with sliced bananas and whipped cream.
Looking at the sandwich recipe, it looks like it was designed specifically for thanksgiving leftover! Probably why they measured the turkey in cups is when you have leftover turkey from thanksgiving, it’s in more chunks than slices (like you would get at a deli).
@@mad_yam There's "exotic" meats that they can get in the UK, though, like snake meat, etc. I remember Myth busters did something like that for "Does everything taste like Chicken" with a Butcher in San Fran, so I bet there is a Butcher like that in London too.
@@mad_yam I agree! But the boys had an exceptionally terrible time trying some of them. I guess I classed it as weird since the meats were quite new and otherworldly to them.
This was one of your most entertaining vlogs to date. As a fan of the Friends tv series, your recipe versions were spot on. That Meat Trifle was a work of art. Your responses during the tasting of that delicacy were priceless. Brave men!
@@AttaboyIII More to your point, isn't the earth slowing its soon over time? The only ways I can imagine the earth spinning faster would likely destroy most life on earth, before the spinning faster part even comes into it lol
BEN AS GUNTHER IM DYING HAHAHAHHA I actually spat out my drink and laughed. And Barry as phoebe is accurate. Also I kind of want to know what Gunther means over there.. LOL
I know its a bit late to say something on this video but I thought I would add this in anyway. My grandmother simmers the raisins which makes them very moist, she reserves the water to add into the mixture if it appears too dry adding even more of the flavor in.
Brown sugar is always measured packed. It was supposed to be chunks of leftover roast turkey, not deli slices, hence the ability to measure by cup (which no one would actually do).
When they were talking about which one of the friends gang they were, I thought "Who among Sorted would _I_ be?" Definitely a Ben. I love it when he talks about random trivia facts about stuff like a nerd, and definitely know I do that myself much to the chagrin of others. I even get annoyed when the guys cut him off, because I want to hear what he has to say. I find it interesting.
I would be a James. I'm always trying to push my cooking ability higher, trying some pretty weird stuff sometimes - plus I'm really judgmental and sassy.
@@izuizabela6613 I wouldn't go so far as to call people more intelligent just because they enjoy trivia about things more. That's just a personality trait if anything. I know plenty of intelligent people who find it boring and try to change the subject whenever I geek out about some random trivia about something like cooking chemistry.
@@LudicrousRat I did not meant trivia facts in particular, but overall society reaction to person who shows their knowledge. Anytime anyhow. Most people treat worse someone who is in their opinion a nerd. Also see how our society feels like it is more insulting to say "you're ugly" than "you're stupid".
I think I'm some weird combo of Ben and Jamie with a splash of James. Ben: I love random information and love sharing that information with people to the point of one of friends asking me what the "Fact of the Day" is. Jamie: I would take a good burger over just about any other food, and I love dad jokes and puns and laugh so much at stupid things. James: We have the same reactions to kitchen gadgets.
As someone who has seen every single Friends episode over and over (and over) again? I really appreciated all the Friends-references Jamie and Barry did! Mike's reaction to the trifle was amazing! Solid video as usual, you guys always make me laugh!
“You know what it is? When Ben was growing up it was too painful to watch a show about people who had friends.” 😂😂😂😂 That was such a solid and quick roast, I cackled. Jamie might try too hard in the kitchen, but his quips are effortless! “Uh…I am. I am…the moistmaker.” 😂 *Also the cups is for “leftover turkey”! We slice ours when we’re eating it, but for a sandwich, I think a lot of us have it shredded so you just mash a cup full of shredded turkey and that’s your cup lmao Okay and my personal take on characters: James = Chandlar…funny, lighthearted but serious in an instant and always helpful Ebbers = Monica…methodical, funny, but a bit rigid and a slight (I love you Ben!) know it all Jamie = Joey…plays dumb, always goofy, loves food and his friends, never in a bad mood…but is actually so reliable and loving and not dumb at all Mike = Rachel…kind of the chaotic, quick talking golden retriever friend that everyone loves, can bounce between stressed and grounded in like 2 seconds Bazz = Phoebe…smart, but constantly snarky and sarcastic and just quick with the quips and remarks…makes everyone laugh or gives people pause with the jokes Kush = Ross…much like Monica, just a bit more chaotic and all over the place but still methodical and organized, yet quick to offer a zinger even in moments of stress
Preordered the book straight away. Exactly the kind of cook book needed. Hate googling how to do all those little individual bits with a meal. Can't wait!
@@kayjacoby290 actually a cup isn't always 8oz. Depends on the density of the item, how you fill the cup (packed, not packed etc) which is why (in my opinion anyway) weights are better. And more accurate. And since you can just put a bowl on the scale and keep pressing zero (tare) no mess
I would love to see you guys make some recipes out of: Heroes' Feast: The Official Dungeons and Dragons Cookbook. You could combine some fun recipes with some serious throwback costuming!
i’ve been binge watching episodes since i was introduced to sorted through the mythical kitchen collab. currently it is Nov 1, 2023 and this episode hit hard with the recent news of Matthew Perry’s death. Always wondered if there would be someone to actually make the trifle as shown instead of making it dessert based.
Its trifle time! 😉 I hoped for it as a sweet OR savory pass it on „trifle“ challenge, each with three layers with minimum height, presented in a big glass bowl... but you know you made my grey Wednesday a lot better with your upload 😊
The little random shot of Big Ben made me smile, looks like the little cuts to landmarks they make in cooking programs where the chefs travel to different places, like Rick Stein and similar
FYI, many US persons make post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches with leftover turkey that has been pulled/shredded, which can be measured by volume. Also, it's generally understood that brown sugar is measured firmly packed.
You guys are the best!!! I love that Baz and Jamie were referencing so many things from the show and I was laughing my head off as Friends was a show I grew up watching and loved whilst my boyfriend just sat there dazed as he didn't get any of it lol!! the best part? Its normally the opposite way around and I usually sit there not understanding references... Thank you also to Ben and James for being good sports and giving the trifle the best chance as a lot of us (outside of UK) grew up not understanding what mince meat was and always envisioned mince to have actual meat in it. As someone who now lives in UK, it always boggled me and became a source of debate (friendly) between friends who are British and non British. Thank you for bringing to life the happy memories of Friends
You CAN measure turkey in cups. Since the recipe specifies LEFTOVER turkey, I would imagine that they are referring to the little bits that you pull off of the carcass after you are done carving slices.
Ben's reaction when he tasted his own monstrosity was the same as Joey's. Each individual element GOOD. Leaves out the fact that combined, not so much.
I Love the idea of making original Rachel's triffle! 🧡 I'm a huge Friends fan and bought both: official and unofficial cookbooks. And I have to say, recipie-wise, I like unofficial better. The recipies remind me more of characters and scenes from The show.
Hello! With the weather getting colder and colder (at least where I live) I would love to get some crockpot recipe ideas! My crockpot is my favorite thing in my kitchen and there is nothing like coming home to a nice hearty meal I don't have to think about.
@@chandajensen13 oh ok. I've never had Thanksgiving obviously and now thinking about it I don't think I've even ever seen a whole cooked Turkey in real life just on tv.
Once again, James saying "I am the moist maker" is everything I didn't know I needed to experience today.
Oh James 🤦♂️😂
but how many women agree with him?
James beating Ben as a chef and replacing him as the resident innuendo guy.
Yes he is.
He’s the “moist maker” maker

It is rather a strange combo 😂
Did it taste like feet?
One word. Jamie.
That's why.
@@SortedFood To be fair, your version was way nicer than what came out in the show.
Oh! I was like "Please make The Trifle!"
"I am the moist maker"
somehow I don't doubt that, James.
@joseph ka - If the earth spun faster we would likely all die
- The sun is already spinning
- WWIII-antichrist-pope-jesus-what-now?
@joseph ka you've picked a rather strange place to evangelize your beliefs. I would ask you the logic behind that choice, but... well..
@@AttaboyIII More to your point, isn't the earth slowing its soon over time? The only ways I can imagine the earth spinning faster would likely destroy most life on earth, before the spinning faster part even comes into it lol
@@rufusconnolly8489 Good point, slowly losing angular momentum. Would take a big old shove to get it spinning faster 😂
@@rufusconnolly8489 Or if it somehow shrunk, then it would spin faster, like pulling your legs in on a desk chair
I love seeing the chefs experiment and create new or strange dishes! Really hoping we get a bit more of this format!
Literally best video yet. Also Mike's reaction to the amount of beef in it, is priceless! 14:50
That moment when you glance quickly at the screen and are relieved to realize Barry is wearing a peach-colored top and is not, in fact, topless. 😂
His salmon colored shirt.
What’s wrong with a topless Barry?
Avarren S nothing at all! 😆
"I am the moist maker".
Yes indeed. Yes you are James.
I feel like the content you guys have been churning out recently is so gooood. Love from SG! 🇸🇬
We're glad you like it!
Feeding Hannibal.. 100% one of the most amazing and bizarre cookbooks around..
they seem to have so much fun together, wish i had a group of friends like that!!!
Ben and James vs Babish and Sohla the ultimate youtube food crossover event
That friends-like transition at the start was great 😂
BEN AS GUNTHER IM DYING HAHAHAHHA
I actually spat out my drink and laughed.
And Barry as phoebe is accurate.
Also I kind of want to know what Gunther means over there.. LOL
Michelle C Look it up in Urban Dictionary.
Ben needs to watch friends know to understand the insult lol.
I know its a bit late to say something on this video but I thought I would add this in anyway. My grandmother simmers the raisins which makes them very moist, she reserves the water to add into the mixture if it appears too dry adding even more of the flavor in.
Brown sugar is always measured packed.
It was supposed to be chunks of leftover roast turkey, not deli slices, hence the ability to measure by cup (which no one would actually do).
When they were talking about which one of the friends gang they were, I thought "Who among Sorted would _I_ be?" Definitely a Ben. I love it when he talks about random trivia facts about stuff like a nerd, and definitely know I do that myself much to the chagrin of others. I even get annoyed when the guys cut him off, because I want to hear what he has to say. I find it interesting.
I would be a James. I'm always trying to push my cooking ability higher, trying some pretty weird stuff sometimes - plus I'm really judgmental and sassy.
Same. Feel like Ben is my brother from another mother ;-)
Why do people always belittle a more intelligent person, huh? this society is crap.
@@izuizabela6613 I wouldn't go so far as to call people more intelligent just because they enjoy trivia about things more. That's just a personality trait if anything. I know plenty of intelligent people who find it boring and try to change the subject whenever I geek out about some random trivia about something like cooking chemistry.
@@LudicrousRat I did not meant trivia facts in particular, but overall society reaction to person who shows their knowledge. Anytime anyhow. Most people treat worse someone who is in their opinion a nerd.
Also see how our society feels like it is more insulting to say "you're ugly" than "you're stupid".
I think I'm some weird combo of Ben and Jamie with a splash of James.
Ben: I love random information and love sharing that information with people to the point of one of friends asking me what the "Fact of the Day" is.
Jamie: I would take a good burger over just about any other food, and I love dad jokes and puns and laugh so much at stupid things.
James: We have the same reactions to kitchen gadgets.
I love how the cover of How We Cook gives the illusion that Ben and James are the same height!!
As someone who has seen every single Friends episode over and over (and over) again? I really appreciated all the Friends-references Jamie and Barry did! Mike's reaction to the trifle was amazing! Solid video as usual, you guys always make me laugh!
“You know what it is? When Ben was growing up it was too painful to watch a show about people who had friends.” 😂😂😂😂
That was such a solid and quick roast, I cackled. Jamie might try too hard in the kitchen, but his quips are effortless!
“Uh…I am. I am…the moistmaker.” 😂
*Also the cups is for “leftover turkey”! We slice ours when we’re eating it, but for a sandwich, I think a lot of us have it shredded so you just mash a cup full of shredded turkey and that’s your cup lmao
Okay and my personal take on characters:
James = Chandlar…funny, lighthearted but serious in an instant and always helpful
Ebbers = Monica…methodical, funny, but a bit rigid and a slight (I love you Ben!) know it all
Jamie = Joey…plays dumb, always goofy, loves food and his friends, never in a bad mood…but is actually so reliable and loving and not dumb at all
Mike = Rachel…kind of the chaotic, quick talking golden retriever friend that everyone loves, can bounce between stressed and grounded in like 2 seconds
Bazz = Phoebe…smart, but constantly snarky and sarcastic and just quick with the quips and remarks…makes everyone laugh or gives people pause with the jokes
Kush = Ross…much like Monica, just a bit more chaotic and all over the place but still methodical and organized, yet quick to offer a zinger even in moments of stress
the Dungeons and Dragons official cookbook Heroes Feast is out now. it would be a blast to see you guys tackle some of those recipes.
I've said it before and I'll say it again the 'Feeding Hannibal' cook book by Janice Poon is amazing
"That beef needs more sugar!"
I've never seen Friends, but anything that results in that horrifying sentence from James can't be all bad! 🤣
I've already added "That beef needs more sugar!" to my mental list of Sorted T-shirt merch slogans.
Thank you Sortedfood and I'm glad this video has came on my birthday!....🥰❤
Happy Birthday!
@@SortedFood Thank you boys ! ❤❤❤
Happy birthday Nisha!
You guys are the best!! Taking a recipe that should have been disgusting and making it work!!?!? Geniuses!! I love this show!!
This is the best thing ever. Two of my most favourite things together
That stuffing looked great - I may have to find the book just for that recipe!
Just got the signed version of the book, love that's its just the simple things that you can choose how to combine
I would love if you guys did Feeding Hannibal: A connoisseurs cookbook, from the NBC show. Could get interesting! 😁
Well done Ben and James. That's a creative solution on that 'trifle'.
Preordered the book straight away. Exactly the kind of cook book needed. Hate googling how to do all those little individual bits with a meal. Can't wait!
"you can't measure turkey in cups"
My cursed brain: turkey puree
So gravy?
Mince/ground.
Cooked, cubed.
Cram the slices into a cup.
Americans who cook/ bake, know that a cup = 8 ounces, duh.
If you carve a turkey the way my dad does, you are getting shreds.
@@kayjacoby290 actually a cup isn't always 8oz. Depends on the density of the item, how you fill the cup (packed, not packed etc) which is why (in my opinion anyway) weights are better. And more accurate. And since you can just put a bowl on the scale and keep pressing zero (tare) no mess
@@lauriepenner350 thank you! just fill up a dry cup measure with turkey shreds, how is this confusing??
This is the earliest I have been all month as I have been staying in school late to study. Love the videos
@NutriFIT nutritie si fitnes thanks
"You can't measure turkey in cups". That is the phrase that pays for today.
Especially when using sliced deli Turkey instead of shredded leftover Thanksgiving Turkey.
@@jbrand255 came to look if there's this comment
I would love to see you guys make some recipes out of: Heroes' Feast: The Official Dungeons and Dragons Cookbook. You could combine some fun recipes with some serious throwback costuming!
i’ve been binge watching episodes since i was introduced to sorted through the mythical kitchen collab.
currently it is Nov 1, 2023 and this episode hit hard with the recent news of Matthew Perry’s death.
Always wondered if there would be someone to actually make the trifle as shown instead of making it dessert based.
Its trifle time! 😉 I hoped for it as a sweet OR savory pass it on „trifle“ challenge, each with three layers with minimum height, presented in a big glass bowl... but you know you made my grey Wednesday a lot better with your upload 😊
We nearly got there!
I'd love to see the chefs recreating more meals from TV/film, separate from cookbooks
Go watch Binging With Babish then.
yeah, i really enjoyed all the references they made!
@@Khazandar Yeah I think thats his turfXD
I'll try again: "Prison Ramen" should be the next cookbook review!
please do more recipes from the friends cookbook!! loved it! so nostalgic!
The little random shot of Big Ben made me smile, looks like the little cuts to landmarks they make in cooking programs where the chefs travel to different places, like Rick Stein and similar
Its good to see how Ben and James make eggs, but we really need to know how Barry makes them
hes on another level with eggs
2 words. ☁️ cloud 🥚 egg 🐣
I like how Jamie tries to do "oh. my. gawd." and instead does "oh. my. gwad."
The Friends cookbook is a re-release. It originally came out in the late 90's. I bought it the first time round!!
I had it, too!!! I remember making the meatloaf!
Is the new version identical to the old one?
@@KGT811 In recipes it is. Just a new lay out and new pics!!
FYI, many US persons make post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches with leftover turkey that has been pulled/shredded, which can be measured by volume. Also, it's generally understood that brown sugar is measured firmly packed.
You guys are the best!!! I love that Baz and Jamie were referencing so many things from the show and I was laughing my head off as Friends was a show I grew up watching and loved whilst my boyfriend just sat there dazed as he didn't get any of it lol!! the best part? Its normally the opposite way around and I usually sit there not understanding references...
Thank you also to Ben and James for being good sports and giving the trifle the best chance as a lot of us (outside of UK) grew up not understanding what mince meat was and always envisioned mince to have actual meat in it. As someone who now lives in UK, it always boggled me and became a source of debate (friendly) between friends who are British and non British.
Thank you for bringing to life the happy memories of Friends
You CAN measure turkey in cups. Since the recipe specifies LEFTOVER turkey, I would imagine that they are referring to the little bits that you pull off of the carcass after you are done carving slices.
Ben's reaction when he tasted his own monstrosity was the same as Joey's. Each individual element GOOD. Leaves out the fact that combined, not so much.
James saying he was the moist maker made me spray my water on the monitor... I wasn't ready for that haha
Loved this so much. I didn't watch Friends when it first aired but catch it now in syndicate. Great stuff!
I Love the idea of making original Rachel's triffle! 🧡
I'm a huge Friends fan and bought both: official and unofficial cookbooks. And I have to say, recipie-wise, I like unofficial better. The recipies remind me more of characters and scenes from The show.
Hello! With the weather getting colder and colder (at least where I live) I would love to get some crockpot recipe ideas! My crockpot is my favorite thing in my kitchen and there is nothing like coming home to a nice hearty meal I don't have to think about.
oh man I need a t-shirt with James' sassy mug on it saying I AM THE MOIST MAKER 😂😂😂
The sandwich is made from Thanksgiving leftovers . That's how you can measure shredded chicken.
But you don't usually shred Turkey do you? (I'm neither American nor a meat eater)
@@violetskies14 when using as leftovers you can. But you're right when eating the meal it's usually served as slices
@@chandajensen13 oh ok. I've never had Thanksgiving obviously and now thinking about it I don't think I've even ever seen a whole cooked Turkey in real life just on tv.
This is best episode eveeer as Friends is my fave show. When I saw the thumbnail I was like omg 😱 Friends!! Please make more Friends recipes
these cookbook videos are my FAVORITE, please keep making them!
