Jamie guessing French on a French-Canadian dish and still losing the point is hilariously on-brand

[@rhinodragon]

I love how Barry is like “I’ve been to said country but never seen this dish” then Jamie puts him down by saying “you been there at Christmas” which is so perfect when Jamie gets it right xD

I always really enjoy how they say “not to their taste” especially since these are traditional dishes that are probably much loved. I’m the same way at craft fairs and art markets, I’ll say something is “out of my budget” instead of “too expensive” because it probably took a lot of time and skill to make and just because I don’t want or can’t pay that much doesn’t mean they’re charging too much. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s gross, it’s just not to your taste☺️

These start of video jlhighlight reels need to go away and get in the bin please

This is one of my favorite formats as the boys work really hard to analyze and determine where it’s from only to be completely wrong.

Thanks for including Finnish foods for once! Have to say, Ben's pronounciation of lanttulaatikko was very close! I've never had kale in the finnish christmas table and our ham (joulukinkku) doesn't look that glazed but is typically coated with mustard. We typically have peas and fresh salads, salmon in baked and/or graved form. In addition to the swede casserole, we have sweetened potato casserole (not sweet potato, that's an entire different dish), beetroot casserole with aura-cheese and my favorite carrot casserole, which is basically baked mix of rice porridge and pureed/mashed carrot. Ben was also correct, that the casseroles are eaten throughout the week between christmas and new years, as there's always have too much of them. In that sense, Jamie is also correct that you take just a little, as theres everything else on the table too.

I'm a Finn and couldn't recognize what the guys were served 😅 I was like cool, I know other Nordics do ham at Christmas, maybe theirs look like that? (Did not register as ham, the big pig leg, to me lol) I've never heard of anyone eating kale at Christmas, so I was like "who does that, the Swedes??" 😄 I do like lanttulaatikko (lanttu meaning rutabaga, laatikko meaning box which in food contexts means casserole), I'm sad that most people don't

Getting to research and cook these dishes was a world away from getting the food ready for Sorted Live! Both were just as enjoyable though- for different reasons ;).

Regular reminder to the sorted team to put hand-written captions on videos. If there isn't good captions, then the video is not ready to be published.

As an Italian, a sicilian to be precise, I had never heard of the "seven fish feast", so I went on investigating. Unfortunately this time you got caught in one of those italian-american traditions that nobody in Italy has ever heard of before. Many Italian newspapers cite the New York Times description of this supposedly Italian festivity meal, but unfortunately it does not come from Italy

I’m a Quebecer and I can you, I would love it if my tourtierre looked even half as good as that one. I never saw carrots in tourtierre before but I might try that this year. Thanks for the representation 💜

[@Gerwald_Lanzer]

Jamie was absolutely on point with most of these dishes, even going so far as to guess the correct region of the last one

[@yianmillan8376]

As a Venezuelan who has been watching the channel for over a year I'm so happy to see one of my favorite Christmas dishes making an appearance! The leaves we use to wrap hallacas are commonly called 'Bijao' also there are different ways to make it depending on the state you are from. Thanks for this glow up guys!

[@cheryla7480]

As an English speaking Canadian; it’s not unusual to see tortiere served as well as having our turkey dinner. It is delicious and a real comfort food. Bravo Quebec!

[@nsjs11]

As a Venezuelan that's been following this channel for years, it makes me so happy to see you enjoy our food! Part of the beauty of making hallacas is getting together with your family to make them.

[@shelbseroo]

My dad made tortiere every Christmas growing up - he passed in 2020 but I've been picking one up for Christmas Eve for many years. It's such a comforting dish ❤️

[@tiiah1404]

As a Finn we would have beetroot salad called Rosolli instead of the kale salad (again cold winters and root veggies). I have never seen kale salad on Christmas table around here. Swede casserole looks spot on and it's nice to see something from our country!

[@its_just_N]

Shout out to lanttulaatikko, a must-have dish for every Christmas despite never being anyone's favorite.

[@ikathiggs13]

Always so respectful of other cultures and foods. Merry Christmas, boys! 🎄

[@christinamahoney5852]

So happy to see Canadien food represented. My grandmother made loads of these pies every year. She used lard in her crust...the family joke was you would have pie Christmas eve and heartburn until New Year's. Our family Christmas penance.
