Really loving these one a day videos. I noticed you're not skimping on duration nor content. Thank you for giving us this wonderful uplifting present!! Helps fight the winter blues here in dreary Oregon!!! Merry Christmas to all that work so hard giving us these videos!
I really wanted to see the cooked pepperoni watermelon pizza. The versions in the video definitely look nice but really changes the dish that they were meant to be taste testing.
I really liked how Ben appreciated Kush' professionalism when they got served sausage roll cheese melts. It shows that even when you have a simple, social-media recipe, you can prepare it either in a sloppy way, or a smart way, so the technique and thinking still matter. And it's just nice to see these little details pointed out by a chef "who knows" :)
Watermelon and Feta are actually a pretty good combination. My mom used to make a salad with watermelon, feta, mint, pine nuts, and a lime and honey dressing.
I work at a food place in the states and YEARS ago, during 1 summer we had a watermelon feta salad. It had like romaine, mint, watermelon, feta and a few other things.
As much as I agree with the kitchen to not serve watermelon as pizza, because this is a comparison to Tik-Tok, it should have been done. But thank you for the watermelon salad idea that I will try tonight....just not as a slice :)
I did do a chicken sandwich a little while back that was fried chicken tossed in Cajun seasoning. A waffle with cinnamon and cayenne and then a honey butter and Louisiana hot sauce mixture drizzled on it. I also added sweet and spicy pickles and coleslaw that I made with apple cider vinegar and a little sugar. It was definitely a combo of sweet/spicy and salty/tangy and it was a LOT…but it was so good.
I'm not sure the bread is really the issue. You've just got to REALLY like sweet food, and then it isn't really working because of the hot honey and anything else being a clever balance you're just tolerating that. Food certainly doesn't need to be an exact equal balance of 5 flavours with a mixture of texture and temperature, there isn't a mathematical algorithm to making good food. Personally I just don't think anything would save vanilla ice cream and fried chicken. The oil makes the ice cream awful and the sweet creamy taste texture mix just doesn't appeal to me as much as something like a sharp and sour pickle does, when it comes to being combined with chicken. I think you can make far better fried chicken sandwiches by ignoring the sweet side of the equation entirely, though I'm not surprised this came from the United States of Diabetes... 😂
The waffle iron she was using for the last one was a classic Norwegian waffle iron. They're not like stroopwaffles, they are soft, can be a little bit crispy, and are traditionally eaten with toppings of brown cheese, jam, jam and sour cream, and butter and brown cheese.
I do not understand why the Belgian waffle is so popular. They're bland and doughy. Grew up with a classic waffle iron (same shape but smaller and hotter) and I'm just baffled. Belgian waffles are like taking a slice of white bread, sitting it next to the stove until warm, and calling it toast.
I must say, being of Cypriot origin, watermelon and halloumi is a dish i grew up eating, Such a natural combination. Salty cheese with the fresh sweetness of the fruit So watermelon and cheese for me is a winner but not with a cheddar or something really mature. Has to be a fresh white cheese
there was a burger place near me that used to do burger of the months. one month they did something called the Hallouminaughti burger, which was angus beef patty, watermelon, halloumi and mint paste. I loved it so much, i think i had 11 or so in a month.
What they did with the watermelon was completely different to the tictoc video in my opinion. They didn't do that one justice... They should have actually done the pepperoni pizza to give it a proper go
My grandfather is Greek, and watermelon with cheese (usually Feta, but also those little boccancinis at times) and salad was a common summer treat. Sometimes just the melon, cheese, and some balsamic dressing. It's a flavor I quite like, though my dietary restrictions make it a rare treat. But now I've got new ideas for it- I never thought to add nuts to the melon salad, but the crunch and creamy walnut flavour sound divine with the sweet juicy melon and the salty cheese.
The waffle iron was for heart-shaped waffles - I think the shape is a lot more common in Germany than the big iron for Belgian waffles is. The heart-shaped waffles are a lot flatter and their recesses are less deep, so Ben was right on the money with his guess that the TikTok variant would have more surface touching points.
Watermelon and cheese is almost ubiquitious in South Eastern Europe and parts of the Middle East. Usually the cheese is a feta-related, salty one. It took me a while to try it, but now I am hooked!
I'll be honest, the moment Ebbers mentioned hippos eating pumpkins I opened a new tab and watched that for about 10 minutes instead. Mike has good taste.
I feel like a maple ice cream (not sure if that's readily available in the UK?) would go much better with the chicken sandwich, but would also use about half the amount used in these videos. It would bring more of a Chicken and Waffles vibe
I’m odd in that I love seeing a chef or someone from a food channel NOT liking something! I get really wound up by food programs where they like absolutely everything they eat!! It’s not reality to me!
I'd prefer them to find things just "meh" or "okay" if it's really not good. Don't lie for internet cred lol Like I watch dancing bacon eatvall around the world snd she does like most things but watching her face while gagging down the stinky tofu was priceless. Lol. 😂
@@animalsmistakenformonsters1492 Yeah. It's easy to forget that pretty much every video you see online has been edited. Much like every single show on TV. The good ones you never even notice the edits. Gotta remind yourself that it's almost never one shot, one take, done. ;)
I recently tried raw honey and a sheep milk brie, and I'm instantly a huge fan. I'm 100% including some honey alongside all the regular chutneys and pickles on cheeseboards going forward.
Try some dank honey too! (E.g. buckwheat, pine, chestnut) My nonno's hometown has a traditional pairing of pecorino and chestnut honey and it is glorious.
A quick version of the sausage roll toastie... Open up a sausage roll and grate cheese into it. Spread the mayo on and pop it into a toastie maker. Great quick snack
I just wanted to thank you guys for uploading high quality content every day for a month ❤. It's given me so much inspiration to cook over winter break
Their second one and the excitement for it was one of the most British things I've seen 😅 the only thing missing was the sausage being blood sausage and some beans on the side
There’s a lovely shop near me that do ice cream sandwiches, they look like burgers but are completely sweet. You guys should visit! It’s a lovely places for a day trip. A series of you all travelling around the uk and trying unique foods in different spots. Not necessarily traditional, but unique.
A non-sweet, sour cream and chive ice cream on a hot chicken sandwich actually sounds like a fantastic idea. We whipped cream once but didn't sweeten it and added french onion soup mix. It was a light fluffy chip dip that really nice and light. Plus it looked double the size that traditional chip dip is for the cost. Whipped cream with no sweetener is also lovely in baked potato
The problem is no matter how good the dish, you'd have to scarf it down before the ice cream melted and/or the bun became a soggy mess otherwise, you'd have your messiest meal since your 1st birthday smash cake.
I see the point people are making about the watermelon pizza, but the boys (well, Kush) did what I always do with recipes and examples and go my own route. Bravo, Kush!
0:45 I MEAN, I’ve seen a version of Fried Chicken with a side of Sweet Waffles and Honey. Not surprised by Ice-Cream. Also, vanilla ice-cream with chilli sauce is a thing from what I’ve heard.
They'd faint if they saw my favorite savory/ vanilla ice cream mix. I've done it with Guinness but my favorite beer is Vanilla Java Porter with a scoop of really good vanilla bean ice cream in it. It sounds like it should be a crime against nature but the smooth dark bitter beer with hints of chocolate and vanilla just really goes well with vanilla ice cream. Im sure you could do chocolate but that might be too chocolatey (?) But I love weird food combos. My other favorite beer is a grapefruit IPA with a ring of sugar on the top. Or the every popular clamato tomato juice half/half with a good Mexican beer and a good squeeze of lemon/lime-rimmed with tajin and a big old pickle spear (or if you like spicy pickled jalapeños on a stick lol) I've seen it called chelada or michealina.
Y favourite weird combo I absoloutely love is homemade irish brown soda with thick hard cold kerry gold butter with marmalade slices of strong cheddar (block) and chef tomato ketchup on top. Sounds awful but it's amazing
Okay, but you totally cheated on the watermelon pizza. You should have tried it exactly as shown on the TikTok! 😅 Also, pineapple and cheese is a very American dish. My old Granny used to make it for every holiday.
@@bcaye yes, it is. However, colloquially calling a food an "American dish" is generally accepted as referring to the United States, regardless of how pedantic you want to be about semantics.
Cheese and Vegemite Sausage Rolls have been a bakery staple in Australia (or Perth at least) for quite some time. Hadn't thought it subsequently frying them.
The Double Boot Sandwich - A double marmite and pork mantis wellington sandwiching a liquid cheese filling coated in an emulsion of raw egg yolks and vegetable oil. Served cut into perfect cubes.
Everytime I watch one of these, I fall a little bit more in love with Ebbers. He's so knowledgeable and professional as a chef, but then goofy and silly at the same time. Annoyingly adorbale!
@@lux0rd01 I understand the concept, just not the execution... too much ice cream and too sweet. It's all about balance. This is just *Tic Tac* clickbait perpetuated by like-happy "influencers".
My favorite thing when im eating a spicy fried chicken sandwich is a vanilla shake on the side - i think the flavors work great together, but i don't think you need to ice cream on the actual sandwich
I’ve got a love/hate relationship with TikTok food trends. They’re fascinating yet quite often they’re all about the name or looks and not about the taste. But then there’s that moment when one of them truly works. Wondering if I’ll see one of those in this video.
Just started the video, but the ice cream on a chicken sandwich speaks to me, because I work in an Italian restaurant that one weekend of the year colabarates with an ice cream shop down the road to make a 8 course menu where every dish has some ice cream component on the dish
On the eighteenth day of December, my true love gave to me: 10 TikTok Trends, Mike in a cardigan (again) and Ben on a TikTok Date (without Barry, can you believe?).
Ebbers doing a lil happy dance while eating the sausage roll toastie gives me life and makes me want to immediately purchase a plane ticket to the UK because it really does look incredible
Do you need the cheese texture, or could you just add a couple of drops of liquid smoke to a sour cream and sugar mix and add chopped chives half-way through churning?
Love the video! ❤ For the rice "waffle": you were using a thick Belgian-style waffle iron. The video you watched used a waffle iron that makes thin waffles. So theirs toasted much more quickly than yours. If you ever try it again, use the same kind of waffle iron they did.
18:11 A spoonful of cold creme fraiche premixed with hot honey, chillies of some sort, dill pickles slices with savory waffles as the bread. I'm making the sushi rice waffles tomorrow! Another amazing video, thanks @sortedfood! ❤
You did not get even remotely close to trying the watermelon pizza tik tok. Big fail on that one in my mind. If you are going to review a tik tok trend, then make the tik tok trend. What you did here was decide this trend was bad and just did your own thing. Which is fine, but it's not what the video was supposed to be about.
I am such a fan of this video a day advent calendar. Its so enjoyable having so much sorted food. But pleaaaase treat yourself to some time off in the new year lads! This must have been some effort to get all this done 😂
I am an Australian and have been eating Sausage Roll on a Roll since primary school (I'm 67 now), you have just reignited my schoolgirl craving, I'm now going to up my game! And YES, Mango Chutney 👍
The waffle iron they used in the waffle one is typical for Scandinavian countries - at least Norway. The waffles are far thinner than the typical Belgian-style ones, which would probably account for Ben's worries about the raising agent, and you also get the 'signature' heart shape. They might be used in other countries as well, but I KNOW they're very common in Norway. My family and I used to use them to make cheese toastiest, actually, which were really great. The outside browns evenly and gets super crispy, it provides heat from both sides at the same time so there's no need to worry about flipping, and it's much harder to accidentally burn something. I've never used one for rice, but the cheese toasties were done in just a few minutes. It's been more than a decade since I did this, so I can't quite recall, but say 5 minutes or so, maybe 10-15 if you include the time it takes the waffle iron to heat up?
If you have never done waffle iron potato hash browns you gotta try them. Grated potato ( liquid squeezed out ) chopped onions and smoked sea salt into the waffle iron seasoned with bacon grease for ten minutes or until crisp. Had them this morning.
There was a pub in Newcastle got a cease and desist by Greggs for selling a burger called 'Dirty Thoughts of Cheryl Cole' which had two of their sausage rolls in the burger
the ice cream and fried chicken does inspire me to think what other things would be better there to the same effect. because i think it's just not adventurous either, picking the most "default" ice cream. test it with a dark chocolate for bitterness, or any kind of fruit sorbet, something citrussy, so you get the cold and creamy, but acidity as contrast.
The Greg-Wich: Pork and (insert whatever seasoning) sausage, with shredded cheddar and parmesan, marmite and homemade mayonnaise, wrapped in puff pastry.. served with an array of dips Honestly just make everything from scratch - except the puff pastry, storebought is just as good - and serve it at a party, no one would be the wiser
I don't mind seeing a chefy take on the trends but personally I'd have liked to see the initial concept executed beforehand. If the video is melted cheese and pepperoni on watermelon I'd like to see one of those two things make it on the dish. Maybe that's just me.
Really loving these one a day videos. I noticed you're not skimping on duration nor content. Thank you for giving us this wonderful uplifting present!! Helps fight the winter blues here in dreary Oregon!!! Merry Christmas to all that work so hard giving us these videos!
Glad you like them! 🥲
I couldn't have said it better!
From a Brit also living in Oregon, I couldn't agree more!
I really wanted to see the cooked pepperoni watermelon pizza. The versions in the video definitely look nice but really changes the dish that they were meant to be taste testing.
Next time!
@@SortedFoodPLEASE 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
you already know its gonna be shit tho tbh
I feel like the watermelon Pizza as it was in the TT Video would be perfect for Jamie
I've seen people try it as it is in the TikTok and they've all hated it lol

We have an italian restaurant that serves watermelon feta salad with their sunday brunch menu! SO good!!!
Ebbers little happy dance while he was eating the sausage roll toastie made my day.
I was looking for this comment!
I went back to watch the happy dance and you were so right
Was also looking if this post already existed ❤ just lovely!
Reminds me of Glen from Glen and Friends 😁
I feel like not doing a pepperoni version of the watermelon one is kinda cheating XD
Agreed. Felt like a completely different dish
Absolutely! You could argue, as they do, that they "did it better" but in reality they didn't actually "do it" at all
absolutley agree, raging
Agreed, why even show the first ‘pizza’ clip
@@Fulgur98 Well, you make your own then and try it. Will you be raving, or raging???
"Hey, let's watch a video on watermelon pizza and then see if it actually works" *proceeds to bring out a completely different dish*
Yeah I dislike the fact that they didn't even try to make what the video showed. They made a salad on a watermelon.
As much as I agree with the kitchen to not serve watermelon as pizza, because this is a comparison to Tik-Tok, it should have been done. But thank you for the watermelon salad idea that I will try tonight....just not as a slice :)
The chicken and ice cream thing would make so much more sense with a waffle rather than on a sandwich
and regular hot sauce instead of a honey, sweetness overload as is.
At some point it's better to have some chicken and then some waffles
I did do a chicken sandwich a little while back that was fried chicken tossed in Cajun seasoning. A waffle with cinnamon and cayenne and then a honey butter and Louisiana hot sauce mixture drizzled on it. I also added sweet and spicy pickles and coleslaw that I made with apple cider vinegar and a little sugar.

You've reviewed some savory ice creams this year. I wonder if there's some way to save that ice cream burger by combining flavors in a different way.

For example last year we had a carpaccio with black truffle mayonaise ice cream drops
Or a steak with a disk of bernaise ice cream
On the eighteenth day of December, my true love gave to me: 10 TikTok Trends, Mike in a cardigan (again) and Ben on a TikTok Date (without Barry, can you believe?).
Ebbers doing a lil happy dance while eating the sausage roll toastie gives me life and makes me want to immediately purchase a plane ticket to the UK because it really does look incredible
Could you experiment with making a sour cream, smoked cheese and chive Ice Cream? That would bang! Or would it?
Do you need the cheese texture, or could you just add a couple of drops of liquid smoke to a sour cream and sugar mix and add chopped chives half-way through churning?
Love the video! ❤
For the rice "waffle": you were using a thick Belgian-style waffle iron. The video you watched used a waffle iron that makes thin waffles. So theirs toasted much more quickly than yours. If you ever try it again, use the same kind of waffle iron they did.
We need more of this tiktok series!
18:11 A spoonful of cold creme fraiche premixed with hot honey, chillies of some sort, dill pickles slices with savory waffles as the bread.
I'm making the sushi rice waffles tomorrow! Another amazing video, thanks @sortedfood! ❤
That was a misrepresentation of the TT watermelon pizza. Why watch the video if youre gonna completely remake it in a completely different way??
Idk why but for the sausage roll toasties thing "A Ploughman called Gregg" spring to mind 😂
You did not get even remotely close to trying the watermelon pizza tik tok. Big fail on that one in my mind. If you are going to review a tik tok trend, then make the tik tok trend. What you did here was decide this trend was bad and just did your own thing. Which is fine, but it's not what the video was supposed to be about.
I am such a fan of this video a day advent calendar. Its so enjoyable having so much sorted food. But pleaaaase treat yourself to some time off in the new year lads! This must have been some effort to get all this done 😂
I am an Australian and have been eating Sausage Roll on a Roll since primary school (I'm 67 now), you have just reignited my schoolgirl craving, I'm now going to up my game! And YES, Mango Chutney 👍
Loved the “Slurp” and then the NO! Ebbers….😂
I am so glad that Ben sticks to his nerdy cheffy views in the face of clickbait food trends!
Greggs Grilled cheese with Marmite. You've got to respect that. That's a medly of national treasures!😃
The waffle iron they used in the waffle one is typical for Scandinavian countries - at least Norway. The waffles are far thinner than the typical Belgian-style ones, which would probably account for Ben's worries about the raising agent, and you also get the 'signature' heart shape. They might be used in other countries as well, but I KNOW they're very common in Norway.
My family and I used to use them to make cheese toastiest, actually, which were really great. The outside browns evenly and gets super crispy, it provides heat from both sides at the same time so there's no need to worry about flipping, and it's much harder to accidentally burn something. I've never used one for rice, but the cheese toasties were done in just a few minutes. It's been more than a decade since I did this, so I can't quite recall, but say 5 minutes or so, maybe 10-15 if you include the time it takes the waffle iron to heat up?
The texture from the icecream and bread also sounds amazing, as a kid I loved making mash n chicken rolls and the texture was my favourite part.
The charged watermelon with the right ingredients sounds like a great way to serve a well chilled summer salad.
Watermelon & halloumi skewers on a barbecue or grill is one of my summer favourites!
If you have never done waffle iron potato hash browns you gotta try them. Grated potato ( liquid squeezed out ) chopped onions and smoked sea salt into the waffle iron seasoned with bacon grease for ten minutes or until crisp. Had them this morning.
There was a pub in Newcastle got a cease and desist by Greggs for selling a burger called 'Dirty Thoughts of Cheryl Cole' which had two of their sausage rolls in the burger
Tried kush's roast taters from the other day, boil to death, fridge cold, shallow fry in oven. BANGING ! Best roasties iv ever had, my new go to.
the ice cream and fried chicken does inspire me to think what other things would be better there to the same effect. because i think it's just not adventurous either, picking the most "default" ice cream. test it with a dark chocolate for bitterness, or any kind of fruit sorbet, something citrussy, so you get the cold and creamy, but acidity as contrast.
The Greg-Wich: Pork and (insert whatever seasoning) sausage, with shredded cheddar and parmesan, marmite and homemade mayonnaise, wrapped in puff pastry.. served with an array of dips
Honestly just make everything from scratch - except the puff pastry, storebought is just as good - and serve it at a party, no one would be the wiser
Banana and processed cheese goes really well together. Putting thin slices of banana in the middle of a toasted cheese sandwich is amazingly good.
I agree with ebbers. Spicy chicken sandwich with mayonnaise and either a ton of dill pickles or lettuce and extra tomato
I don't mind seeing a chefy take on the trends but personally I'd have liked to see the initial concept executed beforehand. If the video is melted cheese and pepperoni on watermelon I'd like to see one of those two things make it on the dish. Maybe that's just me.
