Just finished watching ur chocolate chip cookie vid n now both of my fav youtuber in this vid together just rlly makes my day.Feels like I hit jackpot!
Seeing Max giggle at unintentional innuendo's is hilarious... Max is just brilliant, i love tasting history, so seeing both sorted and max miller in the same show is just epic
Fun fact: The "Dennis the Menace" that Max has heard of probably isn't the one in the Beano. There are childrens comic characters of the same name in both the US and the UK, first published on the same day, by complete coincidence. The UK character is a boy with spikey black hair, and gets full page comics in the Beano. The US character is a boy with slightly floppy blonde hair, and is a single page or short strip newspaper comic.
Yes I feel like the man's face was very confused when they were talking about Dennis the menace. He was probably thinking " wait are you guys talking about Dennis the menace like the Macaulay Culkin movie?"
I'm pretty sure even in the uk a biscuit tin has a higher chance of being filled with sewing equipment than actual biscuits edit autocorrect failed me you'd need very compact tolls or a very large tin for sowing equipment
Props to Barry for filming despite the sore throat. By the sounds of it, probably wasn’t the kind that goes away with just a warm cup of tea. Been appreciating the daily videos for December as well, been really helping me get through the year. Go Sorted!
Seeing Max Miller, one of my favourite food creators, on the channel of Sorted Food, one of my favourite food channels, is truly a dream! It's always lovely to see cross-overs and collaborations in the space
In the US the biscuit/cookie tin is a popular thing around Christmas, and then the tin is taken by the resident seamstress/crafter and then holds a sewing or other crafting supplies.
I appreciate this was filmed in advance but we need a part two! So many classics missed: the rich tea, garibaldis, ginger nuts, mint viscounts, hobnobs, fig rolls, (dark) chocolate digestives, party rings, malted milks, chocolate fingers, pink wafers! The list is endless!
Dark chocolate digestives... oohh... sometimes I trek to a Jewish supermarket in north London (SO far from me) to buy the kosher ones because they're vegan, that's how much I love them. It's actually fortunate they're not easier to get hold of or my waistline would walk out on me for good
Honestly they showed the worst kind of British biscuits (can’t say anything for the Scottish thingy, never tasted them) just chocolate covered hobnobs, duo and Rich tea could floor any one
Eyyyy it's Max! What a fun crossover. Wouldn't mind seeing him talk the Sorted team through a historical dish.... or see him do the 10 minute burger challenge. Also my goodness what happened to Barry's voice?
Barry just lost his voice in transit when they went over to film these episodes in the US - we had other videos from this trip a month or three ago and he really was throaty in all of them. Blame it on the customs for making him enter the country without it!
That’s a chocolate digestive. The original digestive biscuits can be eaten either sweet (with a cup of tea) or savoury (with cheese. Either way, they’re very nice.
Max is absolutely FAB. You really should try cooking some of the dishes from his book on your channel, too (or he should have you on his channel to do so). And the way he conveys the history is an absolute delight. OR it would be really keen to have you cooking from your 1800s cookbook on his channel with him conveying the history :)
We had numbers of biscuit tins we turned into sewing baskets and craft tins once the biscuits were finished. They're a great place to keep those stupid replacement buttons that are attached to new clothes!!!! I absolutely adore Bourbon Cremes!!! I would eat straight through an entire package....often! Growing up, Chocolate Digestives were #1 in our house.
My two favorite food channels together - Merry Christmas to ME! Thank you all for making this happen. Wishing all of you and your families lovely holidays and a joyfilled new year!
Baz is wearing a 'palm heel strike' shirt ... hopefully they will head back to the Mythical Kitchen for some chaos! Lovely to see Max, one of my favorite RUclipsrs!
I grew up in the states, but for me, these were biscuits, and biscuits and cookies were and still are distinctly different things. I grew up in an Iranian immigrant household, so we definitely have a tea and biscuits culture. In Farsi, we use “shirini” to refer to most sweet baked goods, and a chocolate chip *cookie* would be classified as a shirini. There is a specific type of shirini called a “biscuit” which is said similarly to the French word. Biscuit refers to something hard and crunchy, like a cracker, which is also sweet. Digestive “cookies,” for example, are biscuits to me. We also love tea, and my personal favorite is Ceylon.
I come from the place where the Tunnocks factory is and they still actually have their little bakery on Uddingston Main Street despite selling biscuits all over! If you like the look of the Tea Cake, try a Caramel Wafer or Caramel Log, they're excellent too 👌 Also, Max is a clearly a man of culture to single out the Custard Cream 😌
Dennis the menace is actually a weird story also. They were born simultaneously, in March 1951, two entirely independent and wildly contrasting Dennis the Menaces. One was the creation of Hank Ketcham, a former Disney animator in California. The other was the brainchild of the British cartoonist David “Davey” Law.
This must be one of the most fascinating Sorted vids I've ever watched, and Max is such a great guest for the channel. Good vibes! I'm off for a cuppa and a dunker now :D
In Canada we have those marshmallow biscuits, called Whippets, but ours can have a layer of jam, caramel, or maple syrup between the cookie and the marshmallow. The jam ones are the ones I remember most. Also Wagon Wheels are similar ingredients, but wider and flatter.
We moved to Canada in '69 from England and we had the Peek Freans version of the Jammy Dodger called a Fruit Creme. They also had an assorted bag of bisquits very similar to some of the ones you're showing here. The Peek Freans company was originally in England and is now owned by an American company.
Max and Sorted- the episode we have been waiting for! Thank you for an awesome Christmas present! I hope he shared some of his homemade garum while you were there.
As a non-UK person, I only know the jammy dodger because of Doctor Who, that one time 11 threatened Daleks with it. The name always puzzled me, so cool to finally find out where that came from!
Fun fact, those Tunnocks tea cakes are similar to Mallowpuffs in New Zealand. They're sold in packs of 10, not individually wrapped. They were super popular as a morning tea snack when I was in primary school in the late 90s
The filling is quite different though. A Mallowpuff is marshmallow, with a spongey "spring" to it, while the Tunnocks Teacake filling is much softer, closer to an Italian meringue. (PS kia ora from Christchurch, NZ)
They look similar to a Mallowmar in the US. It's been probably 40 or more years since I've had one, but as I recall, had a medium-density marshmallow filling (softer/airier than the type made for roasting on a stick), a plain cookie bottom (possibly thicker than the Scottish biscuit), and was enrobed in a snappy chocolate shell.
Picked up s packet of Christmas gingerbread biscuits to eat whilst watching this video, who knew it would be a biscuit video!? I’m sure I’ll still end up hungry watching this. So happy there are more max videos, what a treat
What an incredibly pleasant surprise to see Max! I also loved him on Babish. Perhaps next stop then will be Sorted and Babish?! PS what’s up with the shot at 16:50?
Mmmmm Tunnock's Tea Cakes for me. Followed as a close second by the custard creams. Yum. So hard to find them in Australia, but I grab them every time I see them in a shop.
We do use biscuit tins for sewing supplies. In an African house (and others of course), they put everything in a biscuit tin, any old tin and container from a product.
Jammy dodgers for me, but they are all delicious! Lovely to see Max over here! He won me over when he did a historical look at afternoon tea. Thanks a million for this collab ! 🫖
In Canada the Tunnock teacakes are known by brand name so, depending on which brand you buy, they're known as Viva Puffs or as Whippits. I prefer the term Viva Puff and there are varieties with an extra jam or caramel between the biscuit and marshmallow
Greetings from the UK. Found you from Mythical Kitchen. I enjoyed watching this. I just like it when us Muricans and Brits are together with mutual interests or entertainment.
Fascinating! Thank you. So many of these have been technical challenges on The Great British Bake Off through the years, and as an American, I wasn’t up on what the bakers were trying to replicate.
As an American, I haven't tried all of these but I do love Jaffa cakes! And those marshmallow things have American counterparts: marshmallow pinwheels is the name of one brand. Sadly, they do NOT come individually foil wrapped!
My mother who was a huge Anglophile, especially after my sister moved to the UK, absolutely loved Jammie Dodgers. They always remind me of her. Miss you mom.
JAMMIE DODGERS!!! Yum! First biscuit my daughter had on our first trip to the UK in 2001. I buy her several packages from an import shop for Christmas every year. Tunnocks were introduced to us by a cousin who lives in Uddingston. My favorite!
One of my favourites is the cream sandwich style with a jam button or window. For those covered in the video however... Maybe the custard creams, though we have something similar to the Tanuk, I'm just not a huge marshmallow guy myself.
How fun is this?! We have a store called World Market here where I think I'll try to find some of these biscuits. We have a chocolate 'enrobed' cookie with marshmallow inside on a chocolate cookies: Pinwheels. They are shaped like a bundt cake and were my late dad's favorite. Love Max and his reactions to some of the comments! 🤣
Also look for an ethnic grocery store- I find tons of great sweets and teas at our Asian/Indian/Middle Eastern market! Cant always read the label, but a picture of a cookie is universal. Lol Also an amazing place to find dried fruit, dry beans and rice, oils, etc, and of course spices at a great price, and usually much fresher than the standard grocery store.
@@leapintothewild not knowing what exactly is in the packet is the best. I love doing this when I travel too, walk into a grocery store, buy a few packets of the most random cookies/biscuits/whatever is the aisle, sometimes brilliance... sometimes... well not so brilliant :)
There are also mallomars. Pinwheels, if I remember right, have a chocolate cookie base. Mallomars have a vanilla base. Pinwheels are my favorite tho!!!
When I was a kid I always chose bourbon over custard cream - as they would always make me feel sick from both the sweet filling & sweet biscuits- whilst the bourbon biscuit was not too sweet and was a mellow, lovely accompaniment to my tea. Also helped that at any function/ event the custard creams would disappear quickly and I was left to happily munch on as many bourbons as I wished.
My grandma always had the last ones in her cupboard. But because we're américain they weren't just chocolat. Some were coated in coconut, some were coated in like a lemon shell ( white chocolate and lemon mixed together?). That one was my favorite!
Loving the episodes with Max! Hope you collab more often in the future :D Maybe make a historical recipe together sometime, that'd be fun. I'd like to see Max and Ben try to outdo each other on the history fact giving haha.
We have something similar to the Tanuk teacake here in the states. It's like a swirly marshmallow on a chocolate cookie, covered in chocolate. They're called Pinwheels. They're really good. It's a fun mix of textures lol
Jaffa cakes. The Cloverdale company which provides store brand good for Dollar General has a similar product but no orange jam. The texture of the cake and dark chocolate covering are very similar.
The tea cake is very close to the Canadian (?) Cookie called Puffs. My grandmother loved them a bit frozen. Rural country. Freezing keeps things 'fresh'.
When we got danish biscuits on the market in those blue, round tins every kid remembers the disappointment of finding your nana's sewing equipment inside. The custard one's remind me of our "markizy" they also had vanilla cream filling just the biscuits were round. The method of eating I practice, not dearing to say it's traditional one, was separating the biscuits and licking off the cream. Why? No idea. Maybe it made oit last longer.
As a child I lived across the fence from THE markizy factory! Not just vanilla cream, but hazelnut, coconut and "reverses" which were white biscuits with cocoa cream, and halva. They also made wafers and other biscuits. There were school trips to the factory every year and we were allowed to eat all the broken/misshapen rejects we could while we were there. Ah, those were the times.
I can’t see the Danish cookie tin at the store over the holidays without thinking of my elderly aunts and my grandmother and their sewing tins. They were always repurposed.
Jaffa cakes are available here in the US, but hard to find. Also available with raspberry jelly (my favorite) The biscuit with marshmallow and chocolate has a version here with a thin layer of jam on the biscuit under the mallow. Imported from Mexico,and found in most grocery stores.
Well, just before you asked which would be our favorite, I was off to Amazon checking if we can get Tunnock's here in the U.S. (yes, of course we can 😁), so I guess that must be my answer!
It’s so surreal and delightful seeing my two favorite food channels together in one video. :) Everyone go check out Tasting History with Max Miller, it’s just such nerdy fun! I love it! And thank you Sorted for giving me the biggest cookie craving ever. Love your stuff!!
What's the difference between a Chocolate-coated marshmallow treat (invented in the 19th century in Denmark) and a Tunnock's teacake? And the Jammie Dodgers looks very similar to the Austrian Christmas cookie "Linzer Augen" (which is based on the Linzer Torte from 1653). Funny coincidence, the cookies are also called "Spitzbuben" in Austria, which you could translate as rascal. Which makes a perfect connection to Rodger the Dodger 😅
I was thinking the same thing that that looks an awful lot like the Schokokuss from Denmark. I've had them in Germany and they are tasty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate-coated_marshmallow_treats
The Tunnocks tea cake is my favorite. It reminds me of a Mallomar (essentially the same combo and placement of cookie/biscuit, marshmallow, chocolate) but less sweet and softer.
This has probably already been said, but when the Brits talk “Dennis the Menace”, it’s a totally different character than what an American would think of.
We have some different variations of these in Canada. Peak Freans makes a bourbon, a "fruit creme"/JD, the vanilla creme (like the custard), and Dare makes viva puffs which is a smaller tulloch's tea biscuit.
The teacake is very reminiscent of the Whippet in Canada. My grandparents would always have those around every year we'd visit them and they were my favourite.
Tunnock's! I'm craving a Snowball now! Edit: And The Benuendo returns. I sometimes wonder if Ben is really aware of what comes out of his mouth. A sticky, messy what?
And I am craving a Nabisco Mallowmar. Do they still even make them? As a kid you could never get them in summer because the dark chocolate coating would melt. Big deal when they returned in autumn.
My first pick was the McVities Jaffa cakes. I like the flavors of chocolate and orange together. How I wish I could find them in the stores here in Vermont! I liked the crossover. You guys are fun and knowledgeable!
Thanks for having me, gents!
You're amazing max! Huge fan of You and the gents🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Love all of you guys and very happy about the crossovers!
Just finished watching ur chocolate chip cookie vid n now both of my fav youtuber in this vid together just rlly makes my day.Feels like I hit jackpot!
Woohoo!!! Yay Max!
Best biscuit dunker ever!
"It remembers what chocolate tastes like and its trying to explain it to me" - is honestly the most accurate thing anyone has ever said.
Yes. And why I love Max Miller. He saw right through that biscuit.
Not remotely.
Unlike your statement here, which is an exaggeration that's not accurate at all.
Seeing Max giggle at unintentional innuendo's is hilarious... Max is just brilliant, i love tasting history, so seeing both sorted and max miller in the same show is just epic
Thanks for this, was searching the comments to see who else noticed that!
The last thing you want is a sticky cockpit...LOL.
I wish they didn't cut right after those innuendos. I want to see the extended version. The cut right after "sticky cockpit" was terrible.
@@PetitePoulette247 Agreed. You just know that Max lost it there!
He also snickered at the difference between cakes going hard and biscuits going limp
Fun fact: The "Dennis the Menace" that Max has heard of probably isn't the one in the Beano. There are childrens comic characters of the same name in both the US and the UK, first published on the same day, by complete coincidence. The UK character is a boy with spikey black hair, and gets full page comics in the Beano. The US character is a boy with slightly floppy blonde hair, and is a single page or short strip newspaper comic.
I just learned about this a month or two ago. Fascinating!
Love (UK) Dennis the Menace, together with Gnasher and Rasher
Yes I feel like the man's face was very confused when they were talking about Dennis the menace. He was probably thinking " wait are you guys talking about Dennis the menace like the Macaulay Culkin movie?"
I was just thinking this, it's an amazing story
@@LifeLostSoul But Macaulay Culkin was not in that movie, Mason Gamble played Dennis. You're likely thinking of Richie Rich.
You can just tell how delighted Ben was to have full justification for nerdily sharing history - and I'm all for it!
Baz was 100% correct, "You make history so much more interesting..."! That's why we love Max!
I'm pretty sure even in the uk a biscuit tin has a higher chance of being filled with sewing equipment than actual biscuits
edit autocorrect failed me you'd need very compact tolls or a very large tin for sowing equipment
Chicken 🍗rice recipe highlights ruclips.net/user/shortsDyrec3XSI98?feature=share
well, you might as well re-use the tin once its empty
thousands of odd buttons in my household
Might even be used as a first aid tin or to keep batteries in.
I love how universal this thing is, Indonesian here
Props to Barry for filming despite the sore throat. By the sounds of it, probably wasn’t the kind that goes away with just a warm cup of tea. Been appreciating the daily videos for December as well, been really helping me get through the year. Go Sorted!
Yeah can’t have been easy to keep talking!
Seeing Max Miller, one of my favourite food creators, on the channel of Sorted Food, one of my favourite food channels, is truly a dream! It's always lovely to see cross-overs and collaborations in the space
One big happy family of foodies! 🙌
I'd love to see more Sorted-Max collabs
This has made my day
Still hoping he did a 10-minute burger challenge with them XD
Same here! Dream come true!
Thanks for inviting Max. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have found this channel 🙂Jim Bell (Australia)
'It remembers what chocolate is like and it's trying to explain it to me'.... *chefs kiss* spot on description of a bourbon Max!
Too accurate!
A Bourbon Max? Is that a Bourbon that actually tastes of chocolate?
In the US the biscuit/cookie tin is a popular thing around Christmas, and then the tin is taken by the resident seamstress/crafter and then holds a sewing or other crafting supplies.
MAX is an awesome guest! Perfect addition to the advent calendar 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
You can imagine how much other history food chat happened when the cameras weren't rolling!
@@SortedFoodi can and i love it!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@SortedFood A collab with Townsends would be great, too -- all the British foods taken to the new world.
@@nancylindsay4255I hadn't even thought of that. That would be amazing.
I appreciate this was filmed in advance but we need a part two! So many classics missed: the rich tea, garibaldis, ginger nuts, mint viscounts, hobnobs, fig rolls, (dark) chocolate digestives, party rings, malted milks, chocolate fingers, pink wafers! The list is endless!
It’s more an Aussie thing but it’s still the Commonwealth, Tim Tams.
Nice and the basics are covered.
Yes, the McVities chocolate digestives are awesome.
Dark chocolate digestives... oohh... sometimes I trek to a Jewish supermarket in north London (SO far from me) to buy the kosher ones because they're vegan, that's how much I love them. It's actually fortunate they're not easier to get hold of or my waistline would walk out on me for good

Eyyyy it's Max! What a fun crossover. Wouldn't mind seeing him talk the Sorted team through a historical dish.... or see him do the 10 minute burger challenge.
Also my goodness what happened to Barry's voice?
Yes, that's an excellent idea. Sounds like Barry has a cold. 🙃
Barry just lost his voice in transit when they went over to film these episodes in the US - we had other videos from this trip a month or three ago and he really was throaty in all of them. Blame it on the customs for making him enter the country without it!
Historic pass it on would be wild. 😂
Custard Creams for the win! And thank you for inviting Max - you make a great team! Do it more often.
“It’s like it remembers what chocolate tastes like and it’s trying to explain it to me.” 😂😂😂
That's British food in general... Or Spanish curry...
That reminds me of the jokes people make about that La Croix drink. "Thinking very hard of a strawberry. Was once in a room with a mango."
When I was in the UK, I really enjoyed the McVites digestive biscuits that had milk chocolate on one side. I haven't had them in years. I miss them 😢.
You can buy them in the US. In Texas HEB and Kroger carry them or Hobnobs.
That’s a chocolate digestive. The original digestive biscuits can be eaten either sweet (with a cup of tea) or savoury (with cheese.
Either way, they’re very nice.
@@pamelaspooner7183 Thank you! I'll look and see if maybe they can ship to another state.
Understand your pain. Mine were dark chocolate ones though.
@@Vanda-il9ul Dark chocolate digestives are the best.
Max is absolutely FAB. You really should try cooking some of the dishes from his book on your channel, too (or he should have you on his channel to do so). And the way he conveys the history is an absolute delight. OR it would be really keen to have you cooking from your 1800s cookbook on his channel with him conveying the history :)
My favourite of those featured is the Tunnock Teacake. However the dark chocolate hobnob is clearly the king of the biscuits.
We had numbers of biscuit tins we turned into sewing baskets and craft tins once the biscuits were finished. They're a great place to keep those stupid replacement buttons that are attached to new clothes!!!!

The American and British Dennis the Menace are two seperate characters, debuted apparently by coincidence on the same day in the 50s.
Extremely important detail
And very different, ones just a kid who annoys his neighbour. The other is an actual menace that destroys property and is a proper toerag 😂😂
Exactly! Add in Gnasher and you know which one it is.
Not the same day I believe but they were debuted very close together
@@MrVisualHigh Not the same day, but the same week! One on Monday and the other on Saturday.
Max is wonderful. I never knew that I needed to watch an entire video of him simply rating biscuits.
Of all biscuits, I love a malted milk.
Can we get more biscuits episodes like this? It's interesting to know the history of good old British biscuits.
I come from the place where the Tunnocks factory is and they still actually have their little bakery on Uddingston Main Street despite selling biscuits all over! If you like the look of the Tea Cake, try a Caramel Wafer or Caramel Log, they're excellent too 👌
Also, Max is a clearly a man of culture to single out the Custard Cream 😌
I’m definitely a caramel wafer fan, yum.
The dark chocolate wafer is the best - very hard to get down here in England, but I used to have a Scottish boss who would bring us them occasionally.
I miss these things so much (I’ve got cœliac disease), especially the caramel wafers😢
As much as I love a Tunnocks tea cake, their wafers are just awesome.
@@ErwinPommel 100%, the tea cakes can be a bit rich with all that mallow! A wafer is a well balanced classic 👌
Dennis the menace is actually a weird story also. They were born simultaneously, in March 1951, two entirely independent and wildly contrasting Dennis the Menaces. One was the creation of Hank Ketcham, a former Disney animator in California. The other was the brainchild of the British cartoonist David “Davey” Law.
Oh so that's why they look different. I just assumed the look changed over time, didn't realize this was the actual reason.
And, of course, the Beano was published in Dundee, the home of marmalade... and the forgotten Dundee biscuit.
I love this video!! Ebbers can finally flex his history muscles and @TastingHistory is a delight. Such great chemistry and we all learn something :)
This must be one of the most fascinating Sorted vids I've ever watched, and Max is such a great guest for the channel. Good vibes! I'm off for a cuppa and a dunker now :D
🤓
I wish this video kept going and going! I am a food history nerd and I literally cant get enough of Max's channel and now this video! Obsessed!
Great to see a collab with Max, I love Tasting History as it combines my two favourite things food and History 😂
In Canada we have those marshmallow biscuits, called Whippets, but ours can have a layer of jam, caramel, or maple syrup between the cookie and the marshmallow. The jam ones are the ones I remember most. Also Wagon Wheels are similar ingredients, but wider and flatter.
Yes we have those in the UK
It's a genuine treat to have a video every day. Thank you for all your hard work guys!
We moved to Canada in '69 from England and we had the Peek Freans version of the Jammy Dodger called a Fruit Creme.

Max and Sorted- the episode we have been waiting for! Thank you for an awesome Christmas present! I hope he shared some of his homemade garum while you were there.
History and nostalgia in one video is 💯 to me. Wonder how many of those biscuits I ate as a kid.
As a non-UK person, I only know the jammy dodger because of Doctor Who, that one time 11 threatened Daleks with it. The name always puzzled me, so cool to finally find out where that came from!
I was recently thinking about those deliciously deceptive Danish cookies. This is my sign to grab a tin
The buttery ones?
Oooooh I haven't had those in a while. I feel the winter weight coming on
Love the Danish butter cookies. Get at least 1 tin of those every Christmas.
They were always bought at Christmas.
I’ll second that idea…just a big part of my childhood. Can’t wait to find a tin!
Fun fact, those Tunnocks tea cakes are similar to Mallowpuffs in New Zealand. They're sold in packs of 10, not individually wrapped. They were super popular as a morning tea snack when I was in primary school in the late 90s

Delighted to see Max over here hanging with you guys. So much food knowledge in one place makes a great day for me.
Literally the two food channels I can't get enough of 🥰
What an incredibly pleasant surprise to see Max! I also loved him on Babish. Perhaps next stop then will be Sorted and Babish?!
PS what’s up with the shot at 16:50?
Not Ben and Max giving Barry a brief study on pineapple history 😂
They definitely went off on one!
Mmmmm Tunnock's Tea Cakes for me. Followed as a close second by the custard creams. Yum. So hard to find them in Australia, but I grab them every time I see them in a shop.
That description of the 2nd biscuit just made me think “What if La Croix made a chocolate cookie?”
We do use biscuit tins for sewing supplies. In an African house (and others of course), they put everything in a biscuit tin, any old tin and container from a product.
LOVE Max and his Tasting History! Please do more collabs!
Fantastic to see Max and the Sorted guys together. Out of the 5 biscuits shown in the video my favourite is the Jaffa Cake.❤
I love Max's channel! Possibly my favorite collab so far.
Congrats Max! Love to see you elsewhere on FoodTube! 😊🎉
Jammy dodgers for me, but they are all delicious! Lovely to see Max over here! He won me over when he did a historical look at afternoon tea. Thanks a million for this collab ! 🫖

No, Barry, that's exactly how history works.

Lol Also an amazing place to find dried fruit, dry beans and rice, oils, etc, and of course spices at a great price, and usually much fresher than the standard grocery store.
@@leapintothewild not knowing what exactly is in the packet is the best. I love doing this when I travel too, walk into a grocery store, buy a few packets of the most random cookies/biscuits/whatever is the aisle, sometimes brilliance... sometimes... well not so brilliant :)
There are also mallomars. Pinwheels, if I remember right, have a chocolate cookie base. Mallomars have a vanilla base. Pinwheels are my favorite tho!!!
YAAAY! Thanks for listening to me and getting a collab with Max @TastingHistory going! Love it!
When I was a kid I always chose bourbon over custard cream - as they would always make me feel sick from both the sweet filling & sweet biscuits- whilst the bourbon biscuit was not too sweet and was a mellow, lovely accompaniment to my tea.
Also helped that at any function/ event the custard creams would disappear quickly and I was left to happily munch on as many bourbons as I wished.
I loved custard creams!!! I missed being able to get them when Marks & Sparks stores closed in Canada eons ago.
Okay well now I need a show where Max and Ben visit historical sites and try to out history each other in the most polite way!
My grandma always had the last ones in her cupboard. But because we're américain they weren't just chocolat. Some were coated in coconut, some were coated in like a lemon shell ( white chocolate and lemon mixed together?). That one was my favorite!
Loving the episodes with Max! Hope you collab more often in the future :D Maybe make a historical recipe together sometime, that'd be fun. I'd like to see Max and Ben try to outdo each other on the history fact giving haha.
We have something similar to the Tanuk teacake here in the states. It's like a swirly marshmallow on a chocolate cookie, covered in chocolate. They're called Pinwheels. They're really good. It's a fun mix of textures lol
Your collabs with max are my all time favorites! Huge fan of you both! Yoir quemestry is out of this world! Best food channels😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jaffa cakes.
The Cloverdale company which provides store brand good for Dollar General has a similar product but no orange jam. The texture of the cake and dark chocolate covering are very similar.
I’ve been binging Max Miller lately, he just makes such interesting and well produced content. And such yummy food!
I love the Custard Cream and really like the Jammy Dodger (reminds me of granny), but how could you omit the digestives?
You guys need to do a weekend featuring Sorted, Jolly and Max.
Custard cream was very nice. I have bourbon and Jammie dodgers and the tamuks tea cakes en route from Amazon.
The tea cake is very close to the Canadian (?) Cookie called Puffs. My grandmother loved them a bit frozen.
Rural country. Freezing keeps things 'fresh'.
When we got danish biscuits on the market in those blue, round tins every kid remembers the disappointment of finding your nana's sewing equipment inside. The custard one's remind me of our "markizy" they also had vanilla cream filling just the biscuits were round. The method of eating I practice, not dearing to say it's traditional one, was separating the biscuits and licking off the cream. Why? No idea. Maybe it made oit last longer.
As a child I lived across the fence from THE markizy factory! Not just vanilla cream, but hazelnut, coconut and "reverses" which were white biscuits with cocoa cream, and halva. They also made wafers and other biscuits.
There were school trips to the factory every year and we were allowed to eat all the broken/misshapen rejects we could while we were there. Ah, those were the times.
My mother always used a large Danish cookie tin as her sewing box. That's a childhood memory I still have.
I can’t see the Danish cookie tin at the store over the holidays without thinking of my elderly aunts and my grandmother and their sewing tins. They were always repurposed.
I’m South African and my favourite biscuit is McVitie’s rich tea biscuit.
They are everywhere in Britain
Here from Max' channel and loved this collab! Also the amount of smutty giggling that Max was having trouble stifling! 🤭🤠💜
Jaffa cakes are available here in the US, but hard to find. Also available with raspberry jelly (my favorite) The biscuit with marshmallow and chocolate has a version here with a thin layer of jam on the biscuit under the mallow. Imported from Mexico,and found in most grocery stores.
Hearing Max catching the British accent here and there was charming and 😂
It's hard not to do, especially if you've grown up watch lots of BBC shows
@@Heritage367lol. I've done it, apparently in highschool I'd just randomly switch to a British accent without even knowing I did.
Well, just before you asked which would be our favorite, I was off to Amazon checking if we can get Tunnock's here in the U.S. (yes, of course we can 😁), so I guess that must be my answer!
It’s so surreal and delightful seeing my two favorite food channels together in one video. :) Everyone go check out Tasting History with Max Miller, it’s just such nerdy fun! I love it! And thank you Sorted for giving me the biggest cookie craving ever. Love your stuff!!
Thank you for having Max on your show! And thank you Max, for bringing
Sorted Food to my attention, I love their humor!
What's the difference between a Chocolate-coated marshmallow treat (invented in the 19th century in Denmark) and a Tunnock's teacake?
And the Jammie Dodgers looks very similar to the Austrian Christmas cookie "Linzer Augen" (which is based on the Linzer Torte from 1653).
Funny coincidence, the cookies are also called "Spitzbuben" in Austria, which you could translate as rascal. Which makes a perfect connection to Rodger the Dodger 😅
I was thinking the same thing that that looks an awful lot like the Schokokuss from Denmark. I've had them in Germany and they are tasty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate-coated_marshmallow_treats
The Tunnocks tea cake is my favorite. It reminds me of a Mallomar (essentially the same combo and placement of cookie/biscuit, marshmallow, chocolate) but less sweet and softer.
This has probably already been said, but when the Brits talk “Dennis the Menace”, it’s a totally different character than what an American would think of.
TIL
We have some different variations of these in Canada. Peak Freans makes a bourbon, a "fruit creme"/JD, the vanilla creme (like the custard), and Dare makes viva puffs which is a smaller tulloch's tea biscuit.
How can you leave out digestives and hobnobs? The two most classic
You could make a case for the Ginger Nut, too. And if we're talking Tunnocks, the Caramel Wafer would be a solid pick.
You mean we need another follow up episode sometime?
Yes more follow up episodes you also missed malted milk, rich tea,party rings and nice biscuits. Maybe atomic shrimp could help?
My Anglophile Mom had a large assortment of tins which held a wide variety of baked goods. The sewing supplies were kept in her sewing basket.
Barry in a “Palm Heel Strike” shirt brings me an immense amount of joy 🥹
The three best food channels brought together
The teacake is very reminiscent of the Whippet in Canada. My grandparents would always have those around every year we'd visit them and they were my favourite.
Reading the title I thought "meh", but it was so much more fun than I thought! You guys never dissappoint and I love learning random history facts! ❤
Since Max Miller was on discussing biscuits i went and viewed all of his videos. I have learned so much. Your show is the BEST.
Tunnock's! I'm craving a Snowball now!
Edit: And The Benuendo returns. I sometimes wonder if Ben is really aware of what comes out of his mouth. A sticky, messy what?
And I am craving a Nabisco Mallowmar. Do they still even make them? As a kid you could never get them in summer because the dark chocolate coating would melt. Big deal when they returned in autumn.
My first pick was the McVities Jaffa cakes. I like the flavors of chocolate and orange together. How I wish I could find them in the stores here in Vermont! I liked the crossover. You guys are fun and knowledgeable!
