I am not a breakie person and slightly fussy to boot so these are a bit out of my comfort zone. Oh and no vodka for me but not judging anyone for having it with breakies 😂
When I see someone having vodka (or any alcohol during breakfast) they usually have to give some reason for it like "Well, I'm on vacation.", "I only do it when having brunch.", etc. It's almost never, "Well, it's just a normal thing."
As a 34 year old Colombian, I've never ever had Chocolate con Queso as breakfast lol it's always been, as Ben pointed out, an afternoon tasty treat. Another very popular drink to dump some cheese on is Aguapanela which is made from unrefined cane sugar (known here as Panela)
Quick Question. Why don't these videos come with an accompanying "here's how the food team prepped these dishes" video? The Matoke is something I'd love to know your recipe on, as it sounds great.
Sounds like a horrible idea to me. Can you imagine the comment sections? It's just going to be filled with crap like, oh you did this wrong, or you substituted this and that's not right. It would be a shit show.
Because an infotainment video rates better than a cooking instruction video. Also, Sorted recipes are usually paywalled in the sidekick app these days, so I wouldn't hold my breath for any "here's how we make a dish" video soon. [Edit: I love your idea for those videos! I just don't see them happening keeping in mind how the focus of Sorted content has changed over time.]
The guess of Bulgaria for the second dish is quite accurate actually as we do have a dish exactly like it with the exact same additive sauce of vinegar, garlic and salt. Only difference is we make it with pork, don't eat it for breakfast, because if you down one of those in the morning you are not eating anything else for the rest of the day and we eat it during the winter season as both a soup and fully gelatinized substance due to the pork fat and the added gelatin. All of the Balkans have a dish like this, except Turkey.
For me, can't beat a giuvoche if you want an eggy breakfast, or palachinki. I'm very lucky to have a Bulgarian partner who's introduced me to the delicious food of his country.
Turkey has that too just not with pork, we use lamb or beef offals mostly, everything else is almost identical. We have brain, hoove and head(kelle paça) and tripe soups that is very very popular
yeah i think for almost all of them they got close enough that in Ben's place i would have given them the half point each, he mentioned at the start (the last one with the banana might be debatable). wouldn't change a single thing about the score though, so pretty irrelevant
Yeah, most "countries" are just lines on a map, while the food ignores the border. And not knowing the regional food of Africa is kinda a given. It's a huge continent and most westerners (myself included) are unfamiliar with almost all of the cuisines in Africa. I'm Korean and cringe a bit went something is described as "tasting Asian" because the term is so vague and doesn't really mean anything. But I understand that the person using it is trying to describe what they are unfamiliar with in the most familiar terms.
Guys, I'm Armenian and seeing you dive in khash and say that it's tasty gave me so much pride. Plus with vodka you reminded me of my father's ritual - he always does khash himself, spends all night on it actually, and congratulates himself with a glass vodka in the morning)
A few years ago (sometime in the 80's) there was a member of my extended family (I can not remember who) who went to Japan as an exchange student. She was told to never refuse any food and to always show appreciation for the hospitality - every morning she was given a different breakfast dish each one becoming more and more exotic to a white middle class Australian (in the 80's) until she finally had to admit that she could not eat breakfast that morning... The Japanese family laughed and the mother stated (something like) "we were wondering if or when you would ever say 'no thank you'... our children would have stated that they would not eat the breakfast a few days ago". They (apparently) did the breakfast on the 3rd or 4th morning she was there to show her something that they would have eaten years ago. when my cousin ate it they decided to see what else she would eat (always with a 'common' breakfast at hand for if or when she would say 'thanks... but no thanks'). So (when she ate the food) they then prepared other and more unusual foods from around Japan - food that some Japanese people eat or use to eat but not the usual fare... Many of which were apparently festival foods or food from Japans history. When she finally stated did that she could not eat the breakfast. They laughed and apparently used the experience as a learning tool to explore what people do and do not eat in both Japan and Australia.
Btw "The belly soup" as it is known around is also a Bulgarian/Balkans thing. A great cure for the hungover, could add some hot pepper flakes to spice it up besides the garlic :)
Love that Mike's appreciation for Cheeses has grown so much over the years, used to think he was the pickiest of the lot Also, Please, Sirs, may we have some more off these vids? thank you
Of course Mike likes the first dish. Didn’t he love that strange dessert cheese set (with things like mint choc chip flavor) that James also hated some years ago? 😂
There’s a pretty common Chinese breakfast food which is called “you tiao” and is a nonsweet fried dough stick that is dipped into freshly made soy milk. You should try it! It’s one of my favorites whenever I go visit family in Beijing
As a Mongolian, I knew immediately that those were buuz when the "soup" came out of the dumpling! You can also poach these parcels in milk and it's very tasty. I'm afraid seasoning in this cuisine isn't very exciting, as the climate is very harsh - sorry, Barry. We do have a lot of dairy products that are delicious though. For ex., aaruul are milk curds, and every non-Mongolian friend I offer them to absolutely hates the taste/texture haha. Might be a fun one for the exotic food challenges ;-)
I stumbled across a recipe for buuz a few months ago and they are my fav!! I make big batches to freeze and then I can steam them for an easy supper when I need a pick me up.
I loved to see chocolate santafereño in one of your videos!! And I'm really impressed with Mike for getting the country right! (Although I'll point out that it's Colombia not Columbia). The name "Chocolate santafereño" comes from the capital´s old name. Bogotá was called Santafé de Bogotá decades ago, and the chocolate was a classic there, that's why it's called "Satanfereño". Chocolate con queso is definitely a classic in the center of the country, and there are many places in Bogotá that serve really really good chocolate! Thanks for featuring this dish!!!
Honestly, I'm stuck at about 13:08 where Baz said he's been to Kenya. And then the husband and I started talking about world food, it's regions, and different kinds of fruits from around the world. Thanks boys!
I love videos like this exploring food from other cultures and tasting all the different flavours! Would love to see this become a series of different lunches or desserts around the world
Matoke is easily available from many Indian fruit and veg shops if you’re in suburban London or Leicester or similar. Matoke steamed or cooked in the skin on a BBQ with chilli and lemon is delicious, but matoke crisps are the best!
5:33 Barry was actually not far off with his guess. In Bulgaria we have almost exactly the same dish, we call it "pacha" [пача], however due to pork being cheaper we more often make it with pork legs,ears,cheeks. It can be served hot like this with the vinegar & garlic, or it can be left in the fridge to gel up and then cut like deli.
In greece we have a similar breakfast as the second shown in this video called 'Patsas' and there are even stores that are open 24/7 selling only that. Many people eat it even at 2am after a night of drinking
Oh I didn’t know that people eat it for breakfast. I thought it was mostly “drunk food”. My parents are from Greece but I grew up in Canada, so it’s not as popular here but some people do make it in our community :)
@@russergee49 As a greek person, I've never heard of anyone having it as actual breakfast, if they have it in the early morning it's after an all-nighter of drinking. I think it's generally considered more of a proper meal by most people.
I love these videos where you discover dishes from around the world. One of my favourite things is that the whole team is so grounded that the exotic doesn't feel pretentious or absurd. It is simply normal for somewhere else.
For those that enjoy this episode I think you would enjoy Beryl Shereshewsky. Great videos with cameos from her viewers about dishes from around the world.
Beryl’s videos are wonderful. Totally recommend her for learning about foods around the world, straight from her viewers who share wonderful culture and context around the food.
9:45 first of all, pierogi is an entirely different dish in russia where they are made out of a yeast dough and either baked or fried. second, if anything they are extremely similar to manti which are a staple for the tatar cuisine, like uzbekistan for example.
Love this format! In Taiwan we have egg pancake rolls ( green onion pancakes), sweet or salty soy milk, fan tuan ( rice rolls that can be vegetarian or with pork floss, Chinese donut, and other bits), and also soup dumplings. A bit heavy but great after a night out because a lot of the breakfast shops that are open 24/7
We are so spoiled for options in Taiwan, I usually like the, water fried buns (literal translation), but usually I just get something with egg or 7eleven
@@MrKeeganimal sadly, right now I think they are only giving traveler Visa to spouses and family members. Both my parents are in Taiwan and I still had to get a Visa to go back
I really like the games where the answers aren't given on screen. It's fun to guess along! And it's always fun to talk about food(it's much more fun to eat it tough)!
You guys should try the Dominican Republic's breakfast, is called "los tres golpes" meaning something like "the three hits" and it is Mangu (smashed plantain) fried eggs, fried salami (Dominican salami, which is similar to a summer sausage) and fried cheese (a special kind of cheese made for frying! it doesn't quite melt). I'd love to see the reactions! love the videos as always
I was so impressed with myself for guessing the Armenian breakfast XD It struck me as a very Middle Eastern style meal until the vodka, which made me think Eastern European. Then I remembered my brother recently moved to Armenia for work and it clicked.
I wish you guys had done Encebollado from the coast of Ecuador. It's a breakfast fish soup. It sounds awful, but it's basically everyone's favorite food as soon as they try it.
@@SortedFood Ecuador has some hidden gems. It's such a small country and some of the food is so similar to Peru that it gets overshadowed and forgotten. One thing that definitely separates it from Peruvian food is that, for the most part, Ecuadorian food does not include spicy dishes Some of the best things to try: Encebollado - breakfast fish soup Seco de Pollo - a sort of stewed chicken that is served with the staple Ecuadorian sides: rice and fried ripe plantains Encocado - it's a coconut-based citrus sauce put over seafood like shrimp or a white fish and it's pretty dang good Hornado - Basically a whole slow-roasted pork, popular in the mountains Fanesca - a special creamy soup with fish and lots of vegetables made on Easter Cuy Asado - this one you guys probably can't/won't do, but it's rotisserie guinea pig. If you took a bite without looking, you would say it's chicken. Cliche, I know, but true. Horchata - No, not Mexican horchata. This is completely different. It's a purple tea drink made with a huge variety of herbs and flowers. Very unique. Bolon de Verde - I'm not a huge fan, myself, but it's a green plantain pounded into a sort of paste and then wrapped around meat and sometimes cheese. Often added to soup. Fruit Juices - Ecuador has the best fruit juices you've never heard of. Maracuyá, naranjilla, tomate de árbol Alright, that's my quick list. You could probably do Fanesca for a holiday food special, guessing what it celebrates. Horchata for a name mix-up thing. Encebollado for another breakfast thing. Cuy to see if the guys can tell what it is if given a carved piece. Stuff like that.
Kenyan Ugandan here, happy to see East Africa represented. The banana is pronounced Mah-Toh-keh (Matoke) I’ve been watching Sorted for years and love your videos ❤️
As soon as the meat fell out of the dumpling at 7:42 (ish) my first thought was actually of Bwz. There is this Mongolian restaurant near where I live and they make bwz and I get them almost every year for my birthday, so good! Mind you, the lady who runs the place (hole in the wall place) pronounced it like 'bewtz' instead of how Ebbers does, which sounds closer to 'booze.'
That's because in Mongolian, the spelling literally doesn't matter, as long as you get the right 'sound' from it. It's a very fascinating language like that. It can be spelled bwz, buuz, bouz, bws, etc.
@@JanPospisilArt interestingly enough, the Chinese soup dumplings they mentioned are basically smaller versions of this. I wonder if it's the result of a culinary crossover from the Mongol empire days
Mike hates cheese and Barry hates banana, but they both really liked the dishes with those ingredients. Just shows how keeping an open mind to new things can end up with an enjoyable experience! (And all of those recipes sound delicious!)
Honestly, I'm Armenian and was gonna comment so that you guys can try some of our dishes sometime and BAM, you guys made a dish! Honestly super fun to see! Thanks guys! 🤘
This was a really fascinating episode! Never actually thought about the varied breakfast foods but this opened my eyes to missed opportunities! Please! I would very much like to get the recipes you used for these!!!
The kotogo reminds me of a Cuban dish I had a few times and loooooves - ropa vieja served with maduros in the stew. and while I’m sure the maduros were a bit sweeter than the green bananas, I can see how you all would have loved it. It sounds delightful!
Really enjoyed this. Thanks. We make fried eggs with soy sauce, green onions over rice (from Woks of Life) whenever we have left over rice for breakfast. Not sure how authentic it is for a Chinese breakfast? Imagine it would vary greatly by region too since China is such a huge country.
A restaurant in Pasadena, CA called turned Green Street turned me on to fried eggs and brown rice years ago. The runny yolk makes a wonderful sauce for the rice. I cheat and use a Minute Rice brown rice cup when I make it at home.
Would love you guys to try either pickled herring and ”Kalles kaviar” - smoked fish roe from sweden! The fish roe is eaten with sliced eggs on a special hard bread called “knäckebröd” that translates to breaking bread!
The Armenian dish reminds me of locro, a squash based stew from Argentina. Locro is a staple around Argentina in May (along with humita, a dish similar to tamale). It’s definitely one of those soups that bubbles away for a long long time. Being American I was initially put off by the tripe, but it grew on me and I found the texture experience to be similar to eating clam chowder.
I love videos like these where you taste meals from around the world! Teas around the world, snacks around the world, etc etc would be so fun to see too. More like this please!!
As a Colombian I saw the thumbnail and immediately recognized our delicious chocolate! Normally this is PART of the breakfast, not the entire thing, you can eat it with anything you want in your meal, like eggs, tamal, changua, etc. But also a "light" option would be the chocolate with the cheese and a piece of bread of your liking Also, the most appropiate cheese to use is quesillo, is an artisan cheese wrapped in banana leaf Lastly, since Mike liked it so much, I'll forgive the typo, it's Colombia, not Columbia 😂
I actually love Barrys development with Bananas. From some years ago where he actually didn't know how to peel a banana, since he didn't eat them at that time, to now where he really enjoys them and would love to eat this dish more often. Keep it up :D
I loved this video! So many delicious looking breakfasts to try, the vast majority of them savory! (For some reason I’m always associating breakfast with sweet things like oatmeal, pastries, and cereal despite growing up eating fish and rice and soup for breakfast.) would love to find some recipes and give these a go!
Went to Uganda earlier in the year and had Matoke and beans for breakfast most days - absolutely delicious! I've used green bananas to make it in the UK and it's not quite the same, but close enough. Bonus treat, you can actually shred and stir fry the green banana skins as a vegetable, zero waste and very tasty! Maybe something to try in a weird food video. Keep up the good work lads!
Mongolia: (makes dumplings that are hearty and economical taking into account the surroundings) Berry James Taylor, Earl of Pretentiousness: “Yes, I’d like mine refined please. With a side of Manuka.”
Such an interesting variety of breakfast foods here, I'd love to see more from around the world. I guess if these are staple breakfast foods, they must be staples for a very good reason!
Fantastic stuff as always, guys! I love all of the things I learn watching your videos, and the production quality is top notch. You’re truly one of RUclips’s gems.
This type of video is great, I love being introduced to new cuisines! Also I’m not sure if I’ve just missed it but I don’t think you’ve done much Caribbean food on the channel. I’d recommend things like Ackee and Saltfish and fried dumplings, sweet potato pudding, or ducana (like a sweet potato dumpling thing), there’s a few more well known things like the stew/pepperpot, jerk chicken, fried plantain, possibly banana pancakes with corned beef cooked in a tomatoey sauce. (Half of my family is Antiguan so I’ve got to experience some amazing food!)
I know the second dish from Azerbaijan, where it's a traditional breakfast for those who have overindulged the night before. Both countries may claim it as their own; there's a lot of shared history, but they haven't been on the best of terms for a while...
Came for this comment. You are 100% right. I will just add that in Azerbaijan khash is not just a breakfast dish, it is a favorite early morning (like 6 am) winter warming breakfast dish.
Georgians also cook khash so I honestly have no idea where it cames from originally. But vodka plus khash is definetly more Armenian thing (Georgians would drink Chacha).
The 'chocolate without cheese is like love without a kiss' reminds me of what my father always says. 'A pizza without hot pepper (flakes) is like a kiss without a mustache'.
Well it was a fun video! I discovered things I did not know and from countries that are not usually talked about! It was refreshing! Did the staff try the avocado dessert/breakfast with condensed milk and ice coming from the South American Area? And what about trying Israeli breakfasts or Jewish dishes? There are special things in Israel! (like Boorekas, Have you heard of it? REALLY easy to make and its sooo good And there are so many different types, different fillings and shapes and modes of preparation, it is really recommended to look into it and the communal dishes in Israel, Jahanon is also a great recommendation!!)
Loved this so interesting and infomative, you need another channel with how to make the dishes, im sure alot of people would love to try these recipes. Best channel on youtube hands down i cant get enough of you videos 😊
Their guesses are getting better. They definitely get the right continent now and often get the correct region. Bravo for highlighting different world cuisines.
@sortedfood: try Ugali from Kenya. I grew up there and we used to have it with a stew of either spinach or corn or cabbage or okra. Delicious! Also, an egg omelette with fries/chips in it.
Love the concept. How about doing the same but in a more defined area like South America where you'd have similarities but subtle differences, or not! Who knows? Over to you guys to get it sorted :-)
We have a similar soup in Türkiye made of sheep"s head and hoofs. We serve ours with two sauces, garlic and vinegar and also a sauce made from cooking off spices in butter. This can be eaten in the morning but is usually eaten by people in the early hours that have been out drinking.
I actually managed to guess both Mongolia and Colombia correctly. Also it reminded me of the Norwegian (IIRC) custom of eating ekte gjetost, a very young and creamy cheese with coffee for breakfast
For your Bulgarian breakfast - podluchena shkembe chorba - tripe soup (tripe in milk boullion with paprika and the same condiment garlic+vinegar) or if you are not drunk - banitsa (egg and sirene filling) with yogurt/airan. For more acquired taste buds gruel made of sheep/goat brined cheese melted with butter and mixed with sourdough bread crumbs. And for the afternoon bread slices with salted butter covered with green garlic leaves or lyutenitsa
Breakfast foods from Trinidad and Tobago. Went there for my honeymoon and salt fish and “bake” (a fried dough dinner roll hybrid) still my favorite breakfast of all time nine years later.
The Armenian breakfast is very close to what we In North India call Nihari, it's basically a stew made from off cuts of Buffalo cooked overnight and served with a flaky bread. Would be interesting to trace the history of both the dishes.
my favorite breakfast is taking leftover roti and adding cheese and ketchup/tomatoes and fry it until the cheese is melted. Its like a crossover between grilled cheese and a quasadilla
i mean, it probably doesn't taste like vegemite? And if it does it wouldn't be the end of the world since vegemite doesn't go horrifically with tomatoey things
My favourite thing about Indian food (although I do have cutlery on standby) is that I can take the Roti/Chapatti, wrap it around the food and then make a cone out of it succeeded by eating it. Also, Roomali Roti counts as a ‘Snapkin’.
When it came to the Armenian dish, you just see Ebbers hopefully looking at Mike and Barry after he mentions that this kind of dish takes all night to prepare, and they didn't even ask him xD
More reasons to love Mike, just a note, is ColOmbia. I have never tried chocolate santafereño with goat cheese, I'll have to try it to see how it tastes. The cheese that we use is similar to mozarella, but a little bit saltier, also our chocolate is not too sweet. It's a delicious warm drink to have on a rainy cold day in Bogotá.
Kolbulle with lingon jam. It is one of the only dishes I know of where you want to burn the food. Like, badly. The jam pair well with the burnt taste and even better with the salt bacon on the inside. This is not a breakfast however, more a dish from some rather specific parts of Sweden that we make in the great outdoors during some special occasion. Not a holyday or something just that special, just some small special thing. It can be made indoors, just use a bad cast iron pan and don't use a fire alarm.
I am not a breakie person and slightly fussy to boot so these are a bit out of my comfort zone. Oh and no vodka for me but not judging anyone for having it with breakies 😂
Some of these dishes would also taste great to us at any time of the day too. Yes vodka for breakfast definitely isn't for everyone 😂.
I grew up eating tripe...but vodka would be needed for brekkie
I'm not a breakfast person either, but any of those would be good any point of the day!
When I see someone having vodka (or any alcohol during breakfast) they usually have to give some reason for it like "Well, I'm on vacation.", "I only do it when having brunch.", etc. It's almost never, "Well, it's just a normal thing."
@@tiacho2893 хаш is kinda hangover food. it`s not for regular breakfast. Its plated at 5-6 a.m. in Yerevan

I’ve never known anyone else who has my same taste when it comes to cheese.
It's still impressive to have things to eat and expand your palate, even after so many years.

Yes that was great.

Oooh, I saw German foodtuber MyNameIsAndong make that in one of his videos! He lived in China for a few years when he was younger.
I love dipping it in black coffee, or cut up in congee! It's my go to for when I have not too much time to sit down for breakfast
Its overrated tbh. Its just a bread.
It's not just bread j.k
It's fried dough. That soaks up anything that it dipped in. It's quite delicious in congee
In Indonesia this is called cakwe, it is very delicious to eat with Sate Padang sauce, common to use in congee(the slice one)

Honestly, I'm stuck at about 13:08 where Baz said he's been to Kenya. And then the husband and I started talking about world food, it's regions, and different kinds of fruits from around the world. Thanks boys!
I love videos like this exploring food from other cultures and tasting all the different flavours! Would love to see this become a series of different lunches or desserts around the world
Matoke is easily available from many Indian fruit and veg shops if you’re in suburban London or Leicester or similar. Matoke steamed or cooked in the skin on a BBQ with chilli and lemon is delicious, but matoke crisps are the best!
We have a few Indian and African veg shops here in Glasgow. I'm sure I've seen Matoke hanging outside
5:33 Barry was actually not far off with his guess. In Bulgaria we have almost exactly the same dish, we call it "pacha" [пача], however due to pork being cheaper we more often make it with pork legs,ears,cheeks. It can be served hot like this with the vinegar & garlic, or it can be left in the fridge to gel up and then cut like deli.
In greece we have a similar breakfast as the second shown in this video called 'Patsas' and there are even stores that are open 24/7 selling only that. Many people eat it even at 2am after a night of drinking
Oh I didn’t know that people eat it for breakfast. I thought it was mostly “drunk food”. My parents are from Greece but I grew up in Canada, so it’s not as popular here but some people do make it in our community :)
@@russergee49 As a greek person, I've never heard of anyone having it as actual breakfast, if they have it in the early morning it's after an all-nighter of drinking. I think it's generally considered more of a proper meal by most people.
I love these videos where you discover dishes from around the world. One of my favourite things is that the whole team is so grounded that the exotic doesn't feel pretentious or absurd. It is simply normal for somewhere else.
For those that enjoy this episode I think you would enjoy Beryl Shereshewsky. Great videos with cameos from her viewers about dishes from around the world.
Love her!!!
Beryl is great!
Beryl’s videos are wonderful. Totally recommend her for learning about foods around the world, straight from her viewers who share wonderful culture and context around the food.
She’s great!
That would be an amazing collab!
9:45 first of all, pierogi is an entirely different dish in russia where they are made out of a yeast dough and either baked or fried. second, if anything they are extremely similar to manti which are a staple for the tatar cuisine, like uzbekistan for example.
Love this format! In Taiwan we have egg pancake rolls ( green onion pancakes), sweet or salty soy milk, fan tuan ( rice rolls that can be vegetarian or with pork floss, Chinese donut, and other bits), and also soup dumplings. A bit heavy but great after a night out because a lot of the breakfast shops that are open 24/7
We are so spoiled for options in Taiwan, I usually like the, water fried buns (literal translation), but usually I just get something with egg or 7eleven
I...I need to go to Taiwan
@@MrKeeganimal sadly, right now I think they are only giving traveler Visa to spouses and family members. Both my parents are in Taiwan and I still had to get a Visa to go back
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
I was gonna say salty soy milk!! 😊
I really like the games where the answers aren't given on screen. It's fun to guess along! And it's always fun to talk about food(it's much more fun to eat it tough)!
Katogo and Matoke has to be my favorite must have breakfast food whenever i am in Uganda. This was a fun show. East Africa Representation🙌🏽🙌🏽
You guys should try the Dominican Republic's breakfast, is called "los tres golpes" meaning something like "the three hits" and it is Mangu (smashed plantain) fried eggs, fried salami (Dominican salami, which is similar to a summer sausage) and fried cheese (a special kind of cheese made for frying! it doesn't quite melt). I'd love to see the reactions! love the videos as always
Wow that sounds delicious! Thank you for the rec!
I was so impressed with myself for guessing the Armenian breakfast XD It struck me as a very Middle Eastern style meal until the vodka, which made me think Eastern European. Then I remembered my brother recently moved to Armenia for work and it clicked.
I really like the stories behind the countries and how the dishes help sustain the people of that country. Thanks for the videos!
Ahhh my little Colombian heart is so happy seeing the rep! Literally knew what it was the minute I saw the chocolate bubbles!
Thanks!
Thank you Chris!
I’d love more like this. Even some obvious ones like Italy with its pastries and coffee are would be a lot of fun
It's wonderful to see you guys still at it after so many years, I've been watching your channel since 2016 and y'all still rock
I wish you guys had done Encebollado from the coast of Ecuador. It's a breakfast fish soup. It sounds awful, but it's basically everyone's favorite food as soon as they try it.
That sounds SO good! 👀
@@SortedFood Ecuador has some hidden gems. It's such a small country and some of the food is so similar to Peru that it gets overshadowed and forgotten. One thing that definitely separates it from Peruvian food is that, for the most part, Ecuadorian food does not include spicy dishes
Some of the best things to try:
Encebollado - breakfast fish soup
Seco de Pollo - a sort of stewed chicken that is served with the staple Ecuadorian sides: rice and fried ripe plantains
Encocado - it's a coconut-based citrus sauce put over seafood like shrimp or a white fish and it's pretty dang good
Hornado - Basically a whole slow-roasted pork, popular in the mountains
Fanesca - a special creamy soup with fish and lots of vegetables made on Easter
Cuy Asado - this one you guys probably can't/won't do, but it's rotisserie guinea pig. If you took a bite without looking, you would say it's chicken. Cliche, I know, but true.
Horchata - No, not Mexican horchata. This is completely different. It's a purple tea drink made with a huge variety of herbs and flowers. Very unique.
Bolon de Verde - I'm not a huge fan, myself, but it's a green plantain pounded into a sort of paste and then wrapped around meat and sometimes cheese. Often added to soup.
Fruit Juices - Ecuador has the best fruit juices you've never heard of. Maracuyá, naranjilla, tomate de árbol
Alright, that's my quick list. You could probably do Fanesca for a holiday food special, guessing what it celebrates. Horchata for a name mix-up thing. Encebollado for another breakfast thing. Cuy to see if the guys can tell what it is if given a carved piece. Stuff like that.
Kenyan Ugandan here, happy to see East Africa represented. The banana is pronounced Mah-Toh-keh (Matoke)
I’ve been watching Sorted for years and love your videos ❤️
Honestly, this was one of your most interesting episodes ever! Loved the selection of countries in this one
As soon as the meat fell out of the dumpling at 7:42 (ish) my first thought was actually of Bwz. There is this Mongolian restaurant near where I live and they make bwz and I get them almost every year for my birthday, so good!
Mind you, the lady who runs the place (hole in the wall place) pronounced it like 'bewtz' instead of how Ebbers does, which sounds closer to 'booze.'
That's so interesting, thanks for sharing 😀
That's because in Mongolian, the spelling literally doesn't matter, as long as you get the right 'sound' from it. It's a very fascinating language like that. It can be spelled bwz, buuz, bouz, bws, etc.
@@kirohaas3193 Is it in any way related to baozi? (even linguistically?) edit: Oh, wikipedia says "yes".
@@JanPospisilArt interestingly enough, the Chinese soup dumplings they mentioned are basically smaller versions of this. I wonder if it's the result of a culinary crossover from the Mongol empire days
Mike hates cheese and Barry hates banana, but they both really liked the dishes with those ingredients. Just shows how keeping an open mind to new things can end up with an enjoyable experience! (And all of those recipes sound delicious!)
Honestly, I'm Armenian and was gonna comment so that you guys can try some of our dishes sometime and BAM, you guys made a dish! Honestly super fun to see! Thanks guys! 🤘
This was a really fascinating episode! Never actually thought about the varied breakfast foods but this opened my eyes to missed opportunities!
Please! I would very much like to get the recipes you used for these!!!
The kotogo reminds me of a Cuban dish I had a few times and loooooves - ropa vieja served with maduros in the stew. and while I’m sure the maduros were a bit sweeter than the green bananas, I can see how you all would have loved it. It sounds delightful!
Really enjoyed this. Thanks. We make fried eggs with soy sauce, green onions over rice (from Woks of Life) whenever we have left over rice for breakfast. Not sure how authentic it is for a Chinese breakfast? Imagine it would vary greatly by region too since China is such a huge country.
Sounds like Korean Gyeran Bap my favorite breakfast.
This sounds great!
that is actually very similar to japanese breakfast (lookup "Tamago Kake Gohan").
A restaurant in Pasadena, CA called turned Green Street turned me on to fried eggs and brown rice years ago. The runny yolk makes a wonderful sauce for the rice. I cheat and use a Minute Rice brown rice cup when I make it at home.
Would love you guys to try either pickled herring and ”Kalles kaviar” - smoked fish roe from sweden! The fish roe is eaten with sliced eggs on a special hard bread called “knäckebröd” that translates to breaking bread!
I think the official translation is Crispbread
The Armenian dish reminds me of locro, a squash based stew from Argentina. Locro is a staple around Argentina in May (along with humita, a dish similar to tamale). It’s definitely one of those soups that bubbles away for a long long time. Being American I was initially put off by the tripe, but it grew on me and I found the texture experience to be similar to eating clam chowder.
Please do more of these! This was amazing and educational, and all the dishes sounded DELICIOUS!
Café sin queso es como amor sin beso...I'll remember that one! The Finnish love a bit of cheese in their coffee too if I'm not mistaken.
I love videos like these where you taste meals from around the world! Teas around the world, snacks around the world, etc etc would be so fun to see too. More like this please!!
ben: youll get a half point if youre close.
proceeds to not give half points to any of the quite close guesses XD
Well if youre both kinda close it doesnt matter anyway
As a Colombian I saw the thumbnail and immediately recognized our delicious chocolate! Normally this is PART of the breakfast, not the entire thing, you can eat it with anything you want in your meal, like eggs, tamal, changua, etc. But also a "light" option would be the chocolate with the cheese and a piece of bread of your liking
Also, the most appropiate cheese to use is quesillo, is an artisan cheese wrapped in banana leaf
Lastly, since Mike liked it so much, I'll forgive the typo, it's Colombia, not Columbia 😂
I actually love Barrys development with Bananas. From some years ago where he actually didn't know how to peel a banana, since he didn't eat them at that time, to now where he really enjoys them and would love to eat this dish more often. Keep it up :D
I loved this video! So many delicious looking breakfasts to try, the vast majority of them savory! (For some reason I’m always associating breakfast with sweet things like oatmeal, pastries, and cereal despite growing up eating fish and rice and soup for breakfast.) would love to find some recipes and give these a go!
Went to Uganda earlier in the year and had Matoke and beans for breakfast most days - absolutely delicious! I've used green bananas to make it in the UK and it's not quite the same, but close enough. Bonus treat, you can actually shred and stir fry the green banana skins as a vegetable, zero waste and very tasty! Maybe something to try in a weird food video.
Keep up the good work lads!
Mongolia: (makes dumplings that are hearty and economical taking into account the surroundings)
Berry James Taylor, Earl of Pretentiousness: “Yes, I’d like mine refined please. With a side of Manuka.”
Such an interesting variety of breakfast foods here, I'd love to see more from around the world. I guess if these are staple breakfast foods, they must be staples for a very good reason!
There is a region in Russia, Bashkeria, where bashkir people live, they also have buuz as a native food, sometimes called pozas, sometimes buuzas
А как же бурятия и иркутская область?
Looooove videos like these. Food is the global language of love that unites us!
This is a really great format. I would love to see them try romanian tripe soup. It is a delicacy and so, so special.
I was impressed with the Normals reasonings for their guesses, even if they didn’t get the country exactly!
There is a similar dish in Bulgaria and the condiment of garlic and vinegar is kinda local. Kudos to Barry for the guess.
Nah, certainly not local, we use it here in Greece a lot with the tripe soup as well.
Fantastic stuff as always, guys! I love all of the things I learn watching your videos, and the production quality is top notch. You’re truly one of RUclips’s gems.
I love seeing how much Barry’s relationship to bananas has changed over the years!
That hot chocolate looks interesting BUT "Ebbers took the tip off your banana" and Barry's expression just had me laughing soooooooooo much! 😁
This type of video is great, I love being introduced to new cuisines! Also I’m not sure if I’ve just missed it but I don’t think you’ve done much Caribbean food on the channel. I’d recommend things like Ackee and Saltfish and fried dumplings, sweet potato pudding, or ducana (like a sweet potato dumpling thing), there’s a few more well known things like the stew/pepperpot, jerk chicken, fried plantain, possibly banana pancakes with corned beef cooked in a tomatoey sauce. (Half of my family is Antiguan so I’ve got to experience some amazing food!)
I know the second dish from Azerbaijan, where it's a traditional breakfast for those who have overindulged the night before. Both countries may claim it as their own; there's a lot of shared history, but they haven't been on the best of terms for a while...
Came for this comment. You are 100% right. I will just add that in Azerbaijan khash is not just a breakfast dish, it is a favorite early morning (like 6 am) winter warming breakfast dish.
Georgians also cook khash so I honestly have no idea where it cames from originally. But vodka plus khash is definetly more Armenian thing (Georgians would drink Chacha).
Banana/plantains in savory dishes are pretty common in both African and South American dishes. It is amazing how well it works.
I remember Mike saying he didn't like cheese some years ago, now he's loving it in hot chocolate? It's amazing how people change!
He likes his cheese weird.
Wonderful to see some East African food on the channel! There is a lot more to try, especially from the Swahili coast!
The 'chocolate without cheese is like love without a kiss' reminds me of what my father always says.
'A pizza without hot pepper (flakes) is like a kiss without a mustache'.
Both causes burns? XD
Does it mater if the mustache is on a man or a woman?
I enjoyed this video. It's always nice to see the different things people eat to start their day.
Well it was a fun video! I discovered things I did not know and from countries that are not usually talked about! It was refreshing!
Did the staff try the avocado dessert/breakfast with condensed milk and ice coming from the South American Area?
And what about trying Israeli breakfasts or Jewish dishes? There are special things in Israel!
(like Boorekas, Have you heard of it? REALLY easy to make and its sooo good And there are so many different types, different fillings and shapes and modes of preparation, it is really recommended to look into it and the communal dishes in Israel, Jahanon is also a great recommendation!!)
Chocolate and cheese is a great combo! Ever since I was a kid I've loved a nutella and red leicester sandwich for that nutty/chocolatey/salty mix.
fantastic to see buuz on the menu for once!
as a Ugandan i am actually amazed to see Katogo, i was not ready. thank you
So excited for this one!
Loved this so interesting and infomative, you need another channel with how to make the dishes, im sure alot of people would love to try these recipes. Best channel on youtube hands down i cant get enough of you videos 😊
Don't know if you've tried it yet, but Tocino from the Philippines! For a vegan version I used marinated oyster mushrooms instead of porkloin.
Their guesses are getting better. They definitely get the right continent now and often get the correct region. Bravo for highlighting different world cuisines.
Yeeaaa Sorted Sundays
@sortedfood: try Ugali from Kenya. I grew up there and we used to have it with a stew of either spinach or corn or cabbage or okra. Delicious! Also, an egg omelette with fries/chips in it.
Yuuuuuum!
Love the concept. How about doing the same but in a more defined area like South America where you'd have similarities but subtle differences, or not! Who knows? Over to you guys to get it sorted :-)
Could do a "walk along" the continent, like start on one side and jump from country to country to see how one dish tweaks in each place.
We have a similar soup in Türkiye made of sheep"s head and hoofs. We serve ours with two sauces, garlic and vinegar and also a sauce made from cooking off spices in butter. This can be eaten in the morning but is usually eaten by people in the early hours that have been out drinking.
I actually managed to guess both Mongolia and Colombia correctly. Also it reminded me of the Norwegian (IIRC) custom of eating ekte gjetost, a very young and creamy cheese with coffee for breakfast
For your Bulgarian breakfast - podluchena shkembe chorba - tripe soup (tripe in milk boullion with paprika and the same condiment garlic+vinegar) or if you are not drunk - banitsa (egg and sirene filling) with yogurt/airan. For more acquired taste buds gruel made of sheep/goat brined cheese melted with butter and mixed with sourdough bread crumbs. And for the afternoon bread slices with salted butter covered with green garlic leaves or lyutenitsa
Nice that Mike get's to try food as a normal :P
Breakfast foods from Trinidad and Tobago. Went there for my honeymoon and salt fish and “bake” (a fried dough dinner roll hybrid) still my favorite breakfast of all time nine years later.
I’m surprised Mike likes the first one- considering his dislike of cheese
This is a good point. It's a texture thing, and he liked the texture of the chocolate and cheese together 🤷♂
And Barry likes the last one despite his dislike of bananas!
Thanks for brightening up my Sunday evening!
Thanks for watching :)
The Armenian breakfast is very close to what we In North India call Nihari, it's basically a stew made from off cuts of Buffalo cooked overnight and served with a flaky bread.
Would be interesting to trace the history of both the dishes.
my favorite breakfast is taking leftover roti and adding cheese and ketchup/tomatoes and fry it until the cheese is melted. Its like a crossover between grilled cheese and a quasadilla
You know, this breakfast video sure is good timing considering we now have _vegemite baked beans_ in Australia
they're an abomination, they've ruined two glorious food products
i mean, it probably doesn't taste like vegemite? And if it does it wouldn't be the end of the world since vegemite doesn't go horrifically with tomatoey things
Really liked this video. Liked trying to guess along with Barry & Mike. Make more “Guess Where” videos. Fun and educational
My favourite thing about Indian food (although I do have cutlery on standby) is that I can take the Roti/Chapatti, wrap it around the food and then make a cone out of it succeeded by eating it. Also, Roomali Roti counts as a ‘Snapkin’.
Bravo for another voyage of the senses !
When it came to the Armenian dish, you just see Ebbers hopefully looking at Mike and Barry after he mentions that this kind of dish takes all night to prepare, and they didn't even ask him xD
More reasons to love Mike, just a note, is ColOmbia. I have never tried chocolate santafereño with goat cheese, I'll have to try it to see how it tastes. The cheese that we use is similar to mozarella, but a little bit saltier, also our chocolate is not too sweet. It's a delicious warm drink to have on a rainy cold day in Bogotá.
So…every day in Bogotá?
@@RBonfas yess, every day.
Breakfast?!? I'm here for it! 🤤🤤
Love it, I feel confident with my food knowledge getting these right!!
Kolbulle with lingon jam. It is one of the only dishes I know of where you want to burn the food. Like, badly. The jam pair well with the burnt taste and even better with the salt bacon on the inside. This is not a breakfast however, more a dish from some rather specific parts of Sweden that we make in the great outdoors during some special occasion. Not a holyday or something just that special, just some small special thing. It can be made indoors, just use a bad cast iron pan and don't use a fire alarm.
