Pretentious Ingredients Marathon | Sorted Food

[@krablord]

As someone who leaves TV on quietly to fall asleep, I love having these marathons to put on. Familiar voices and music, with no worries of sudden loud explosion sounds- lovely vids to easily throw on

[@smay745]

I do the same thing! Their ollllld Eye Candy videos are great for this, too.

[@yourfriendbunbury]

100%😊

[@erinnyren5564]

Agreed! ❤

I’m doing this right now!

As long as it's not Jamie using a pressure cooker!

I hope all the sorted crew are sat in their homes relaxing with their feet up (pretentious ingredients on hand for snacking) after working so hard this month. Happy new year sorted community!

[@CyKsFuze]

Can't afford it, but I'm snacking on cup noodles and Red Hots.

[@thaisstone5192]

I don't get why you people get such a charge out of pissing on Barry's head all the time. No wonder the rest of the world thinks that British food is arse; you make fun of anybody who might be interested in having something in their kitchen other than snags, gravy mix, instant mash and frozen mixed vege.

[@missdire]

​@@CyKsFuze Hey... cup noodles and Red Hots are AMAZING!

We're so glad you enjoyed the advent calendar videos, Happy New Year to you too :)

[@giraffesinc.2193]

@@SortedFood The Advent videos were spectacular, such a lovely gift and much appreciated!

[@MazzyJC]

I was given a Himalayan salt cooking block for Christmas in about 2006. I use it on my gas stove. It's never cracked or broken. The meat and veg I've cooked on it always tastes really nice. Mines a little smaller than the one on here so it takes a while to cook on it. Thank you for all the videos in 2023. Happy New Year all. It's 4:25am 1st Jan in my part of Oz right now. It's a little weird weather wise. It's the middle of summer and I have the heater on it's 14C right now but usually 45+C this time of year.

[@littlelamb-]

Can I ask how or if you clean it? Would it just start to dissolve alway?

[@pavelmacek282]

@@littlelamb- I was about to ask the same as you surely don´t put it in dishwasher and once you had a fish on it, it is probably good to wipe it or something...

[@MazzyJC]

@littlelamb- because of the salt and heat you just give it a light scrape with a knife. It slowly dissolves. It will last a long time

[@MazzyJC]

@pavelmacek282 because of the salt and heat you just give it a light scrape with a knife. It slowly dissolves. You can't put it in a dishwasher or sink of water or it will dissolve quickly. I don't know what would happen with fish as I'm allergic to fish so it doesn't come into my house ever

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

My first Christmas after I married, I cooked a lovely goose, I saved the fat to render for lotion I wanted to make. Walking in the kitchen I see my cat standing in the pot of fat, sucking it up, small cat, deep pot, she was covered in the fat. Took 6 bathes to get it off of her!!! And since she had visited the litter box before, I had to trash the sandy goose fat! Her fur was so soft and shiny!!

[@one-eyepadidally8449]

Poor goose. 😢

[@TheDiplomancer]

I'm so glad you made a marathon of this! It's my favorite format! Happy New Year, boys!

[@SortedFood]

Enjoy! HNY to you too 🎉

[@christianstorms3950]

it's so interesting to see those old episodes and wondering about the faceless but highly praised "foodteam". That sentence "this is what you get when you ask a chef to make mashed potatoes" has a completely new oomph now that I know of Kush.😂 But of course the rest of the still mostly behind the scenes working foodteam has earned their share of praise countless times ❤

[@ninthusiva7546]

Preferred it when the only chefs were ben and james. And the boys actually were more unhinged

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I love these so much. I think it's like going shopping at "Gourmet Warehouse" and buying everything you hate that you want (that you never let yourself buy) and feeling like you're trying it all out. So much fun.

[@maximest-jean3890]

While I love the older sorted videos, it's so nice to see how much the production quality has improved, happy new years to all of you !

[@Chione900]

I'm in the process of moving house, and these videos could not have come out at a better time! These will be playing throughout my apartment to keep me company as I unpack everything I own.

[@erinhowett3630]

How’s unpacking going?

[@CHUPII_]

This was such a great month! I really appreciated a video every day although I’m sure it was exhausting. Definitely gave me something to look forward to. I hope everyone at sorted and in the comments has a great new year

[@Getpojke]

Thanks again to all the team at Sorted for the magical festive programming. You really pushed the boat out this year. Wishing you all the best in the coming New Year & hope you have a great Hogmanay with the ones you love & a wee bit of a rest. "Lang may yer lums reek". 🍸🍸

[@ladymindkey]

Watching this makes me miss the mini bloopers you guys used to have after almost every video you put out.

[@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790]

Happy 2024, Sorted crew! I look forward to watching your shenanigans in the new year. (Hopefully that will include a series with Kush as the main-character. Preferably with him wearing a chef's jacket/apron with a tiny violin on it 😅)

Yup, right on schedule 😁 Happy New Year! 🎉

[@darrensanderson1031]

If you want something similar to the 'smoked sugar', but without the pretentiousness or price tag, then start blind baking things with Caster Sugar rather than rice/beans/etc. After a few runs through the oven (and a good stir in between), you'll have "Toasted Sugar", which helps give a nice smokey, caramel hint to whatever you're making with it :)

[@safiremorningstar]

I really love Jamie's take on the balsamic vinegar it shows that as a family man he knows what pretentious really means, when he says he doesn't want to know what the price is because that'll just make him angry you can see that he really understands that what makes a pretentious ingredient pretentious is the fact that even if it's fantastic you reconcile the price being so exorbitant with a different kind that might do the same trick and be good enough even if it's not as wow as the other one. Jamie has really become the right kind of family man.

[@JLa_802]

Love the marathon videos, perfect for the background when I’m cooking or doing chores. This one ended right when I got into bed!

[@gendoll5006]

I watched the kitchen gadgets one yesterday and though I rewatch videos all the time it was nice seeing some gadgets that I forgot about! I look forward to this one today! Granted… I watch Sorted at lunch and dinner and have made it my bedtime routine for months now. I fall asleep to either a poker face or chef skills video every night lol. How strange it would feel if someone fell asleep to my voice every night lol.

"It's not pretentious, its crap." Is the most Spaff comment ever.. just saying

LOLS 🤣

[@Ellie0427]

These compilations make me feel so, so very seen 😂 Rather than hunt down playlists of these, popping on one video? Perfect.

[@peterdeane4490]

We've been getting our poultry from a local farmer for several years. We pay at least double what you'd pay for a good quality supermarket chicken, but these are pasture raised and taste fantastic, and we are supporting local food production. This is important as we live pretty far off the beaten track and food supply would be a problem if the local supply channels were disrupted by bad weather, natural disasters, or the zombie apocalypse. I also wanted to say that morel mushrooms aren't particularly rare here in British Columbia, but they are quite unpredictable in where they pop up. People often find them in their garden beds after mulching them with wood chips, and they are often found the first year on burned over ground after forest fires.

[@pastrygirl71]

I live in Michigan and Morels are all over in upper Michigan. Mesick, MI has a festival around it every year. Your hunting spots are well guarded secrets and you can literally buy them off the back of trucks between April and June. They always make sure to place picked mushrooms on mesh bags so the spores fall back to the earth while hunting, ensuring more mushrooms.

[@carooolopez]

Im living for these marathon videos. As someone who loves to rewatch videos these are amazing! Would love a pass it in marathon! Happy new year to you all!

[@rukinohi]

I can't believe I've seen all of them when they came out yet it feels like yesterday... time really flies by 😄

[@thewiLik]

Loving these marathon vidz.... have seen it all before, but have forgotten it 😂 so amazing recap and lots of content 😃

[@Locomaid]

Morels, goose, ceristtes (griottes), and marron glacees are quite common on continental Europe and not nearly as pricey as the products you have tried. That said, packaging, exclusive name brands, organic methods can easily multiply prices. Great selection of products! Makes me nostalgic for home.

[@chrisThurt4269]

I've seen kits sold online for around $30 usd that will let you grow your own morel mushrooms. We here in Iowa have a ton of them in our forested areas and it's a yearly tradition to go out morel hunting, build a huge bonfire and have a morel hunting party!

[@one-eyepadidally8449]

That goes against everything they said in this video when they said it’s a mystery regarding what makes them grow and how they grow etc - that they are rare and only wild. lol.

[@swissfoodie3542]

I love those marathons, thanks a lot everybody at Sorted food for the great work. Sometimes I am really amazed that you have never heard of a product that is quite common here in Switzerland (which isnt that far away from the UK), like here at 1:10 the morel mushrooms. Those are most popular in a rich cream sauce that you can for example served with perch filet or filet de mignon. They are also good in a risotto, or again in a rich cream sauce together with other mushrooms served in "vol auf vent" (a kind of pastry), or with polenta and chicken.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Happy 2024 guys! I hope to come back to watch more vids from you, well-established and new, in this New Year.

[@monyx2926]

Thank you so much. I loved this compilation. I am so lucky to have had fresh Chanterelle mushrooms as a child. We went mushroom hunting and found them! I think I have had Morels as well. Hee, hee -- It is Marrons Glass-ay.

[@Kris_2213]

Morels are in Michigan during may, and upper Michigan even longer from mid April to mid June. I grew up morel hunting/ hiking with my grandma up north, so yummy and fun.

[@furbysmith3240]

Barry during the butter segment, looks like a monk with his brown pull over.

[@victorias.813]

19:28 im gonna be honest here this put me through an existential crisis bc i had no idea how sea urchins reproduce and it led me down a very long rabbit hole of marine life activity and im sorry to the FBI agent watching my search history.

[@dennisdawson9896]

I live in West Virginia, USA. I have hunted these since I was a wee boy and I am now 50ish. I have found them as big as my hand. I never sold them because they are too damn good and I eat them all. Butter sautéed and baked on a flatbread!

[@Getpojke]

Mushrooms?

[@serenapalmer1267]

I’ve been waiting for this marathon! 🎉

[@Getpojke]

The Christmas sweetmeats at the end are really festive for me. We weren't allowed many sweets growing up, but at Christmas we'd get something special & different family members all had their odd favourites. Marron glacé & lokum were two of mine. Brother was a fan of sugared almonds or nougat. We all loved marzipan & would make lots of coloured marzipan fruits to give as gifts. Lebkuchen/Pfefferkuchen/Pfeffernüsse always went down well & we'd always get a couple of sugar mice in our Christmas stocking. Also freshly roasted chestnuts in a brown paper bag! Heaven.

[@danpalchak6916]

SORTED FOOD TEAM: As part of the demonstration on the Croissant Cube your team created a layered bread pudding of sorts. It looks absolutely delicious and I wonder if you wouldn’t mind sharing the recipe so we might share in the deliciousness. Big thanks!

[@EeveeDocAgain]

Now that we know Kush was in the kitchen behind the scenes, the mad cube croissant cheese stack and bread pudding makes so much sense!! 😂😂😂😂

[@one-eyepadidally8449]

HA! Last assorted video I watched was of Kush doing a very chaotic remote control of Barry, instructing him to make a BIZARRE concoction that he had originally seen on TT - a hot dog spaghetti bolognese cheese “lasagna” (with no lasagna pasta) mounted on a hot dog bun. And for some crazy reason, it WON against a much more sane dish that Ben had instructed Jaime (or is it Jamie?) to do.

[@conniegilchrist6925]

I picked them as a child in USA. I told my classmate the location of the patch. You cheffed it up. Fresh would be used battered or floured. Commonly would be frozen at home to preserve the fresh use. The season last from March till April in Oklahoma. The seasons runs later in the farther north. Morels in commerce are likely be from China.

[@DaxianPreston]

Watching the evolution of the guys and the editing is fascinating. Ebbers absolutely got fatter. Love you Ebbers.

[@markbrown2640]

You can get goose around here pretty easily. Not only do some poultry farms raise goose for market (usually either to order or at farm markets) but I have seen roadside stands where hunters sell their surplus Canadian geese.

[@Shadowborne13]

I had goose for Christmas this year, and I much preferred it to turkey. Even if it had less meat than I expected, it tasted better, and the skin was fantastic. I'm not sure if I'll be doing it every year, as it was comparatively expensive, and quite difficult to get a hold of.

[@TryshaAnderson]

I used to hunt morels when I was a kid and my grandpa told us we needed to be quiet or we would scare the mushrooms. LOL

[@ldkmelon]

they probably user error the salt block, you have to heat them up a special way to not break

[@IAmPerryT]

It's blown my mind at the quality of videos on howit'ss changed in such a short time. Honestl, I didn't realise at the tim, but compared to the old style video, you have come on literally leaps and bounds. Both are outstanding videos, but the videos recently have been top tier which make us look back negatively on the videos the past which I loved back then and have forgotten about about because the recent videos have been at such high a quality we forgot about the close shakey cam. I'm not dissing them at all, but I'm glad yous have come so far from them. Also, ps bring back fridge cam

[@maxj9204]

Black garlic: stick blend a head or 2 in melted butter, then baste under the skin of roast chicken, season as you normally would. Super easy and makes it unbelievably juicy and savoury, and the resulting gravy is nuts.

[@selenericardez]

Sea Urchin Pasta is my boyfriend's favorite :). It is much more simple to make than people might assume. I saute onions and garlic with butter, then I add stock, white wine, salt, pepper. and I let that reduce. Usually I would blend cream and fresh sea urchin (the product you are showing will work instad of the fresh sea urchin). into the reduction and toss over some type of long noodle like fettuccini. You can top it with dried seaweed (kizami), more see urchin and some ikura. :)

If anyone sees this, balsamic vinegar should be looked at like wine is. I've recently had a vinegar identical to the one in this but not pretentious, it was just aged in cherry barrels for 30 years. A large bottle (way more than they had) was about 60 dollars. It isn't cheap, but it isn't meant to be cooked with like a normal balsamic. It's a finishing touch or something to put over a burrata, tomato, and basil crostini. It is immensely good and I have a new appreciation for vinegars and olive oils.

[@DorienVandael]

Getting excited for more of this in 2024!! ❤

My mom had a spot where she could find morel mushrooms, but she moved away from it about twelve years before she passed away and I didn't think to ask her to show me where it was. It's probably still out there, like the mushroom version of the Lost Dutchman Mine.

[@rebehka7992]

I love the idea of the marathons, it's much better for me than watching a playlist. I mean, I'll still do that cos I've been watching you guys for about a decade, but anyway. The only thing that I want is a little card in between the episodes with the name and the date of each one. You don't need to do a bumper (if that's still the term? It's been a long time since I was in school) in between each episode like Rhett and Link, but. The slightly OCD person in me wants a title/date card. And, it would make finding each individual episode again on the channel much easier for newer subscribers.

[@bcaye]

You can buy just the basic black garlic in cloves. It really is something completely different. Using it like garlic lets you control how much and at what stage in the recipe you utilize it. Deep but very sweet garlic flavor. It goes well anywhere you might use roasted garlic but I have found that it does better subjected to less heat, so add it towards the end of any slow cooked dish.

[@hollish196]

@ 53m or so---aged soy sauce is phenomenal in stir fry sauce. ALL the difference! As in knock your socks off.
