Mike's "I like brie!" with that proud grin...too cute. It was like a four year old who just tried some green veg and realized he liked it 😅
Mike, sucralose is not table sugar. Sucrose is table sugar, sucralose is made through the chlorination of sugar (sucrose). Sucralose is also known as Splenda.
Yes, UK has a sugar tax so there is artificial sweeteners in everything?
Which is why I could never drink Thum's Up. I've tried various drinks made with the artificial sweeteners and all of them have an after taste that I don't like. Some hit right away and others take a few seconds but all of them taste wrong to me. The closest I've come to something that doesn't bother me was the sweetener made from monk fruit. It isn't the same as sugar but it isn't bad.
@@57thornsyikes, artificial sweeteners give me migraines. Glad to know to check for that if I go to the UK
I like xylitol which is made from birch syrup.
@@Sarah-ic4yu most of the US doesn’t use real sugar either. It’s glucose which isn’t table sugar either. That’s why a lot of people prefer, in America at least, Mexican Coke. I lived in Honduras for two years, and the difference is quite noticeable after a little bit of time having the real thing.
are we all going to ignore Jamie's outstanding technique when he poured the Guinness from the can
Haha, he's a pro!
Alcohol as a drinker vs alcohol as a hobby.
Loved the almost aggressive way he came in to show how it’s meant to be poured 😂
i like Guinness its a lady beer and you can drink a lot of it , the beer i like the best is hancock gambrinus light its what we call a gold beer it got a minium alc % of 9,5 but normaly its around 11-13 %---- they have to write 9,5 on the lable to be a gold beer and it comes in 33 cl bottles ,,.. 3 i can feel it..... 6 iam the worlds best lover.... 9 i can swim to england no porblem
Came here to say this ^ Outstanding pour, sir 👏 👏
Proud of Mike for expanding his horizons and trying the Brie!
Ditto!
every single time hes tried cheese on the channel hes liked it lmao i think hes a fraud
He's growing up!
Brie is my least favorite cheese.
brie is so yummy
@@NoThankUBeQuiet
It was Jamie popping that Guinness can down on the table like Ben hadn’t properly loaded the dishwasher for me! 😅
Mike continuing with his realization that he's a cheese guy. 🤣
Hahaha there is still time to turn him!
@@SortedFood he's like a child who says he doesn't like something because it sounds icky! Stop being a baby, we all see you like cheese dude
@pastaalalamborghini stop being a nonce
As a French guy, from Normandie, I can tell you that brie is by far the most boring cheese, ever. Such a sad excuse of a cheese, eat Camembert :)
Can this become a series? Love comparing foods you find when on holiday to similar ones you know and love from home.
From normal to sous chef to expert in just a few minutes. Barry has been on quite the journey on this channel.
We know right 😅
@@SortedFoodit’s wonderful to see. And a good reminder that everyone can become a decent home cook when they make the effort.
Can't argue on the growth buuuuuut... Jamie was robbed. #teamJamieForSousChef
@@MadoshiKatai Mike is still the sous chef of my heart. But we are agreed, it's not Barry!
I was curious because I'm a language nerd, and after googling, I learned that the Lay's Thai logo reads as "Lay" whether you're reading it as an English speaker _or_ as a Thai speaker. It's some very clever typography taking advantage of typographical conventions in both written languages.
Can we please get some justice for Jamie? A Colourblind challenge where all ingredients are colourless or make them wear colour tinted glasses. Lets see the boys at the same disadvantage as Jamie for once and see how they do!
I’m so glad Jamie came in to drop that Guinness properly. I was screaming at my screen watching Ebbers pour it. Lol.
Mike won't be allowed to say he doesn't like cheese soon, he liked almost any non-blue cheese on the channel yet 😁
Ben is so real for saying Coca-Cola is naughty because I think the same and order a cola when I’m out having a fun time.
I love how your channel emphasizes the differences in the world. It's so easy to think that in this day and age of social media the world is the same all over. But even something simple like the flavors of chips or a soda being different reminds us how full of cool things to discover the world is.
I occasionally try international snacks for fun. Walker's Cheese & Onion beats just about any standard Lay's flavor. (Also Lay's limited 'biscuits and gravy' flavor still wears the crown...)
I don't know how easy it is to grab it here (or rather there), but I would like to see the comparison of a real British cheddar and an American cheddar.
There are some very good American cheddars but I have no idea if they can be found in England.
@@KenS1267 i have had some excellent American cheeses, but I was thinking more about comparing more run of the mill English and American products. Stuff that you can buy from your regular supermarket.
...As opposed to a fake British cheddar?
@@grabble7605 It's the American one that is fake!
As an American that spends two months of each year in London, Extra mature English Cheddar is unbeatable, IMHO.
Loving this video format! Top tip from a South African for your next episode... there's a SAFFA foodie store at Kings Cross station that sells a lot of the snacks and sweets that we have back home. I vote @sortedfood should go get some goodies there and try finding the British equivalent to test against for next time. (Especially if they have South African Sparletta Cream Soda, Steri Stumpi, Ghost Pops, NikNax or Mrs Balls Simba Chips).🌍 Also PS: on the Walkers vs Lays, the most preferred South African Lays, is Lays Lightly Salted.
My first thought was South African Cream Soda!
Had Thums Up for the first time when I went to an Indian restaurant, now every time I go to get Indian food I check to see if they have Thums Up.
Also, the commercials for Thums Up are amazing! Kind of like the Dos Equis commercials.
I think it’s be cool to see them in an etiquette competition. Lay out a meal, with all the different utensils, and see how “proper”eating it’s done. (I’m imaging that dining scene from the titanic)
I'd love for you to try German "Mettbrötchen" (and some variants like with pepper or with onions on top) and de-mystify it a bit.
Yes, it's raw meat, but highly regulated and probably safer to eat than some things you can get at a streetfood stall.
My cousin brought me some oregano flavoured chips from greece a few years ago. Loved them, I really wish I could buy them locally in Canada.
It's too bad more flavours aren't available, even if they were limited time offerings. I get the limited shelf space at stores, maybe an online ordering system should be made. But we Canadians have ketchup chips which seem to be popular outside Canada. PC has their World of Flavours line, which can be hit or miss. I've noticed a few unique flavours in the international aisle.
Yes but you have all seasoned ruffles in Canada (is that the right name?) That the rest of the world are really missing out on😅. Plus all the Pickled flavored things... had a dill pickle beer when I was in Canada last year, loved it!
All dressed is the name I'm used to. We also have sour cream and onion. Miss Vickie's (a brand) has a sea salt and malt vinegar chip that is good.
@CelticUchuu i like all of those, including ketchup as well (which doesn't really taste of ketchup persay) all dressed, it seems only canadians know the flavour, it's pretty difficult to describe, other than just calling it "all dressed" it is it's own flavour. Haha
@@CelticUchuu We have a couple of British stores in our area in Ontario and they sell Walker chips ( variety of flavours). Worth a check in your location.
First of all, so happy to see the Indian Rep. Second of all, Thums Up with Biryani is a great choice. And finally, Snacks Discourse is best discourse.
Oooooh yes! We bet it's great with a Biryani!
@@SortedFood Wanted to add that the call back to the lemon drink was good. In fact try adding a little lime, rock salt, and cumin powder to Thums up!
@@SortedFood Also, we prefer Thums up with dark rum instead of the classic rum and coke. Somehow tastes better
Here in U.S., 'Lay's' don't have ridges - 'Ruffles' have ridges 🙂 (same company, but differently nicknamed chips/crisps)
We get Lay's Wavy and Ruffles brands in Canada. You stunt get Lay's Wavy flavours?
They have Lays Wavy everywhere in the US, they’re not flavored as often as the normal tho and ruffles are more popular
If this becomes a series, I'd love to see a Kit Kat vs Kvikk Lunsj segment.
@SortedFood Sucrose is table sugar
Sucralose is a VERY different thing!
What Mike didn't mention is Coke acquired it to _kill_ Thums Up. But they ultimately reintroduced it due to market demand!
Also, y'all need to try Masala Coke, lol! Given how much y'all liked the salt in there
This is my favorite format. Thanks guys!
One more fact about Thums Up!
When Coca Cola acquired it, they tried to withdraw Thums Up initially to put more focus on Coca Cola, however they found people moving onto Pepsi instead and brought it back. It still has the largest share of soft drinks in India.
My absolute favourite, so glad y’all covered it!
I love these comparison videos. And you all do a great job describing the flavors and textures for the viewers. 😊
From Germany Fritz Kola. Also from Germany Apfleschorle and RabarberSchorle.
From the Netherlands Twentse Bunker kaas. Cheese made in Delden and then stored in old ammunition bunkers in Daarleveen.The older ripened goat variant is nice for cooking. They use a vegetarian rennet to make the cheese.
When you're so early that you can actually see which number of "like" you are! Perfect thing to watch during lunch.
Love this video... Y'all always try to analyze and explain the flavours so well, so that even if we aren't eating it we can still imagine it. It's so well done, and I love the little history lessons and information boxes y'all add.
According to my dad, the thums up you get today, is nothing like you used to get back in his day. So I'm assuming there is a vast difference between thums up in the 70s versus now. I'm assuming this also holds through for other snacks and beverages - over time recipes change and they just don't taste the same.
I worked in Ireland for a while. The locals I talked to said there are 3 different kinda of Draught Guinness. Dublin Guinness, Irish Guinness and the Rest of the World. I took that to mean Dubliners kept the best for themselves, 2nd best for Ireland and then obviously the Rest of the World got the least best. 😕
Interestingly, the best Guinness that you'll get outside of Ireland is in Malaysia.
Inside of Ireland, it's probably Sean's in Athlone.
Also, by locals, I assume you mean some lads from Dublin, because I've never heard that 😅
Fascinating! More of this please (a new series?).
Seeing the Coke was interesting; here in the States we have American/Classic Coca Cola and "Mexican Coca Cola", oftentimes the Mexican version is preferred, and I've heard that it's much closer to the earlier recipes.
I totally agree. A cane sugar Mexican Coke tastes like what I had as a kid in the 1970's.
American and Canadian Coke is made with high fructose corn syrup, not cane sugar like Mexican Coke. That's why there is a taste difference, and why having a Mexican Coke remind people who are old enough about how Coke used to taste.
Coke actually only supplies the unsweetened syrup the world over. It is the local bottling facility that supplies the sweetener, water, and carbonation level. There are 4 different kinds of American Coke.
How about liquorice from around the world ? - Scandinavian countries versus U.K. versus Germany, Holland, etc.
Great idea! 👏
The Graphics in this episode are new and exciting. Well done 👏🏽
Oh.. THAT coke...
Not the Colombian type....
😂😂
By god
I am not sure I want to see any of the boys after doing a line... Even though when I see Kush cook, I feel he would be too fast even for a frequent user 😂
Drug use is actually a big problem amongst professional chefs trying to keep up with the pressure. Sooo, you never really know until you know, do you?
This is an awesome new series! Cheers!
Please compare Canadian maple syrup!! 🍁🍁I lived in the UK for a year and my parents sent over maple syrup for me cause the equivalent in the UK didn’t cut it😂
Considering how Coke adjusts their tastes according to the market they sell in, you guys could also try Coke sold in India vs UK. Like Mexican and US coke.
IMHO, UK Coke and Mexican Coke are similar -- both use cane sugar. US Coke is comparatively horrible, leaning on corn syrup.
Would love to see these guys try Old Dutch chips (crisps) in uniquely Canadian flavours, like Dill Pickle, Ketchup, and All-Dressed.
There is a Walkers Tomato Ketchup flavour that I haven't seen in England for about 6/7 years.
But the last time I visited Scotland I found it again. So it must still be popular there.
Yes!! That would be great, dill pickle chips are the best! Although my favourites are the Kettle Chip brand.
Here in Brasil we have a soda called Guaraná Jesus, with a similar story with the thumbs up one. It has a very unique flavor and I think you should take a look at it, even if just for curiosity alone.
Seriously, Mike! Every single time there’s cheese in a video you say “I don’t like cheese”, and then you taste it and say “oh, I actually like this one!”. Every single time! You like cheese, Mike!!!!!
Excited to see what gets to be included!
Fun fact: Walkers/Lays is called Smiths in Australia.
Used to be in Belgium as well
Smiths chips were the first chips I tasted 65 years ago in The Netherlands; they came plain with a bit of salt in a twist of paper, so you could salt to taste.
Smiths were a British crisp company until not long ago, and Walkers bought them out. I'm guessing it's the same company still but just under a different name. They kept the Smiths name on their Squares (a type of crisp) for a long time after they were taken over.
So I googled it, and Frank Smith set it up in the UK in 1920s then took the brand to Australia in 1932. Both sides are now owned by PepsiCo but not Walkers as the subdivision in Australia.
Love seeing Kush flex his Cheffy skills! I NEED a Kush x Sohla & Ham El-Waylly collab
Not sure what British Brie you had there, but there's one called Baron Bigod that is absolutely gorgeous. It really does rival a true Brie.
St Endellions not bad either
Baron Bigod is the best Brie ❤
Also, Ben. I'm amazed and loving your ability to do so well while struggling with the booze.i do my best too.
I was told that Indomie sold in Indonesia and abroad (e.g., Europe) are different. They have to tweak ones that are sold abroad, such as less umami meaning less MSG 😁. If you can get a hold of them, can be nice to try
Interesting! Thanks for the recommendation :)
😢 Is it everywhere but Indonesia or just the countries with strick food regs get the less flavour? Because there is nothing stopping Indomie giving us the full force here in Middle East and I hope we get the original ones
20 years ago, when i worked in a bar the draught Guinness was brewed in London, the bottled guiness was brewed in Dublin. The draught had a completely different coloured head, the bottled Guinness had a darker head, it was more yellow, the draught was more white/cream in colour. London brewery closed in 2005
Thums Up goes well with an Indian rum called Old Monk. You guys should try that.
Sounds fantastic - thanks for the suggestion!
Please do more of these
So is this a new schedule where we get more Sorted every week? Please say yes!
It's Walkers here in Ireland not Lays (just FYI)
But still inferior to Tayto 😆
@@lindaclark7 yep and inferior to King also. Haven't bought a Walkers in years but had a Tayto crisp sandwich a week ago lol
Love the format!! First two were not apples to apples. The last two were what I love to see!!!
We can purchase Walker's Prawn Cocktail and other flavours in Canada. The one we really like but have not seen for awhile is the Worcester Sauce flavour.
The Thums Up with any good Biryani is a certified hood meal & the aromatic flavours of the meal with the drink go so well it’s insane.
Jamie's little "Thank you!". 🥰
Please try Elephant house Cream Soda from Sri Lanka.
If you’re feeling Risky, try Necto and Ginger beer from Sri Lanka as well.
Love Jamie's arms coming in from off camera to say, "You numpty, this is how you pour Guiness!"
I discovered baked brie over the holidays and had the same experience as Mike. I love Brie now.
Try the brie (or camembert) - melted - with sweet black current jam on a well toasted piece of bread. One of my absolute favorite treats! It's so damn good and addictive - If it wasn't so unhealthy I would eat it every day 😀
Oooh I gotta try! When I was in Bulgaria I had deep fried breaded smoked cheese with blueberry jam and it was god tier. I had never had blueberry jam before.
Blueberry jam is now a staple in my house and recently I had some frozen rellenos from Lidl with my lunch, chucked them in the air fryer. Forgot to make a dip, I just whacked some blueberry jam and sriracha together and good god, I gotta say I am a culinary genius :P
But I love blackcurrant jam and now I gotta do this, thanks!
we have seen after the show bloopers but id love a live stream or a show with someone recording you and someone recording them,,,or something like that. I know you guys have a ton of fun but we miss that in your final stuff
Coca-Cola used to be made with the Coca leaf (the source of cocaine) and Kola nut. That's the literal source of the name. That's a bit more "Coke and a maniacal grin" than "Coke and a smile" and maybe just a wee bit peppier than is truly advisable.
(To be fair, cocaine wasn't illegal when it was invented.)
It's been years, but the Coca Cola Museum in Atlanta (Georgia, USA)
had groups of unlimited soda testing fountains based on countries they marketed to. The differences were WILD! We kept going back and forth trying to decide which were good or bad and which was SO very different. Lots of fun!
It's walkers in Ireland as well!
I've been living in a part of town with a considerable Asian population and learned to really love Southeast Asian Lays chips/crisps. There was a flavor, also from Thailand, that was incredible, it was called Namtok Hot Pot and it tasted of Thai basil, beef stock, chili, and fish sauce.
Mike, you learn something new every day 😂 I am a picky eater trying to reform and every once in a while find something I like that I once would have turned my nose up at. I enjoyed a curry with green beans as the main ingredient the other night and it was delicious (to be fair, I think my green bean distaste was based on canned green beans and casserole made from the horrible mushy things.)
Awesome! Suggestion: try mexican coke! It really tastes different
I think our UK coke would taste similar to Mexican as we also use sugar, not fructose corn syrup like the USA? So maybe a 3 way taste test, UK, USA and Mexico
@@alexdavis5766 I've heard that Mexican Coke might be using Corn Syrup too, because there is a new tax on Sugar and they're much more lax with their labeling rules there.
That was going to be my comment.
@alexdavis5766 mike was incorrect on that one. Sucralose is not table sugar, it's chlorinated sugar, and artificial sweetener commonly known as Splenda. Mexican coke is different because it uses cane sugar, as opposed to Corn Syrup or artificial sweeteners. Though mexican coke might be changing thier recipe soon in response to tax changes. Likely depends on how much of a fuss people kick up.
Mike's cheese journey is very similar to my cheese journey xD Got to love it. And yes as a Dutchie, people did not want to believe I did not like cheese
Just asked someone from Wisconsin “what’s your take on Prawn Cocktail”
“Ew”… and I agree !
Hi from Scotland…
Dear Jamie, thanks for the Guinness pour tip! Had to try it out and worked like a charm, no suds on my trousers.
I love coke with cane sugar out of Mexico. I loved the coke we had in the United States before they changed it and put in corn syrup.
They did a study on that a few years back with over a thousand participants. Blindfolded, almost none of them could tell the difference in the Mexican Coke they rave about with cane sugar and US Coke.
@@freighter1097not necessarily just about taste. Corn syrup just isn’t good and is terrible for the environment.
@@Farquad76.547 I've yet to hear one person besides you talk about the environmental factor. It was literally a taste test and nothing more.
I love these videos.. as a Scot living in New Zealand, I miss some of the staples I grew up with, such as Skips, Walker crisps.. granted we can get some of them here, just not quite the same, and expensive.. Was so excited when I first saw Irn Bru :) If you can get L&P there, you should give that a try!
Good to learn more about the Nigerian Guinness, I'd love to see you guys do Irish vs Scottish whiskey.
I love this channel😊
Fun fact, foreign extra stout was originally made with the extra abv to last the long sea voyages.
I loved Walkers salt and vinegar, when got back to Poland I’ve tried Lays the same flavour and hate them here 😅
Watching you try the cheese made me think you guys should get the pong cheese either a subscription box or one of their one off set boxes. We have been trying lots of cheese we might have been scared of eg. Blue cheese etc. it's very fun opening the box to see what we have we even gifted a set box at Christmas
About tasting carbonation, when carbon-dioxide mixes with water, it releases a sort of bitter-sour tang into the water. A great way to see this is to let some soda water go flat, and then taste it next to regular flat water. I'd recommend carbonating mineral water and then letting it go flat to compare to the same mineral water.
I really enjoyed this. If you are going to do this trend again, one thing i would love to see is Tayto crisps versus Walkers crisps. From Ireland
I knew someone who worked for Frito Lay. Apparently their internal website would show various kinds of crisps and other products from across the globe. Their favorite was salted watermelon Pepsi from Japan I think
If you ever decide to do an episode on mixer syrups a la soda stream, I would highly recommend trying Portland Syrups, the Root Beer in particular. It’s the best root beer I’ve ever tasted.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Portland syrups Cola is also excellent. I mix it more dilute than recommended with sparkling water to make a less-sweet cola. Haven't tried it with rum and lime juice, a la Cuba Libre yet, but I plan to. More spicy and herbal than Pepsi or Coke (US, anyway).
I've got Portland Syrups Ginger to add a little extra kick to my mules!
This will put me under the table and you won’t know what I will do down there. Ebers we all love you!!!
Walkers used to be called Smith's in the Netherlands, another UK. company. It is now Lays. You might want to try Crisps Joppiesaus or Crisps HEMA rookworst. Trying Joppie sauce itself and rookworst itself might be more satisfying.
It's still called Smith's in Australia.
Bens point about the crisp packet size - a multipack is 25g, but individual bags are 45g 🥔🦐
I’m from the Philippines but moved to Germany, the flavour I miss from home is the Original flavour of Sprite. I don’t know if Sprite tastes the same in the UK and Germany from the original taste from the US which I’ve recently learned came from pine leaves.
Love the sorted branded crisp packets, what flavours would sorted sell?
Didn't they do a video once where Ben made flavoured crisps personalized for each person?
The American Lays chip I love is the barbacue, onion, or spicy. We have the triple cream bries cheese that can also be funk to it. I hardly drink any coke anymore but like mixing balsamic vinegar into a plain soda. But I'm weird I like to have a little bit of apple cider vinegar too. Gunnius beer is great!!! Thanks guys!!!
I would love for you guys to try unique softdrink/soda around the the world. In Perth we have Kirks Kole Beer which is only available in the state of WA.
So I had to! I ordered in chana masala and a can of thums up and it really does complement it well.
if you are going to compare Irish Guinness against Nigerian Guinness, you need to compare Irish Guinness extra stout against Nigerian Guinness extra stout. The difference between Irish canned draft Guinness and Irish extra stout Guinness is sizeable as well.
Guinness Extra Stout in a bottle is also brewed under license at Labatt Brewery in London, Ontario, Canada.
As a Somerset dweller, and cheese lover, i buy my cheese from cheese merchants, and buy both Somerset and "Brie" brie, depending on what i want it for. I love both.
What i find interesting is how various places in the world take the humble crisp (or potato chip) and stamp their own flavor profile on it. Fried potato is tasty, but adding flavorings to it makes it even better.
My favorites are BBQ or Salt and Vinegar. When it's hot and i am sweating a lot, Salt and vinegar. All other times BBQ kettle chips are the go to.
Yay, Mike tried the cheese! Brie is pretty yum.
Ireland has walkers too, we haven't been moved to the lays.
One of my favorite things to do is find unique flavors of Lays and try them! It’s so much fun to do!
We used to have Smiths crisps in the Netherlands. They kept the name for a while after being acquired by Lays I think. But it has been Lays for ages already. Never seen prawn cocktail though. Seems yummy 😋
Ben's right about Guinness, a properly poured pint of stout in a good bar in Ireland, with good company, music & atmosphere is unbeatable. Having very fond memories of being in Galway at the oyster festival years ago. Galway, Guinness, Girls & oysters made for an excellent time. 🦪😉
