Theres an app called Too Good To Go that does that, among other things (in lausanne, i had a selection of restaurant food, bakery, some fresh produce, even flowers every so often). Unfortunately it's not in every country or city, so you gotta check first :/

And the fact that he had already tried the box you gave him..... I do love to see that one of the normals is obviously a major foodie, 1 is a dad that is the main cook (or at least that's how it seems to me. And the type of person he represents), and one is Mike. I know they are all 3 dads. But Jamie is publicly the stereotypical cheese ball dad. I'm looking forward to see y'all do family BBQs at some point.

[@mymee600]

This is completely unrelated to the content but thank you so much for adding closed captions as soon as the video comes out. Not a lot of content creators do this and as someone whose first language isn’t english it helps so much. I’m sure people who are hard of hearing are very grateful too 🥰 loving the content this year in particular too

[@laartje24]

It helps with various disabilities honestly. I use it for my sensory processing disorder and narcolepsy. Helps me follow along with the video a lot better! You also have my thanks for adding them.

[@Telcomvic]

Agreed, as someone whose hearing is not the best, the closed captions makes my watching so much more enjoyable.

[@op3129]

all this (but for hearing, which is degrading at an alarming rate)

[@Zile.e]

Honestly, that bread box subscription would be great for a bigger family or a student house where there are more people. Toast is a staple but bread, of any kind, is a great snack and if you get so much variety (wraps, crumpets, etc.) it's a great thing to have for multiple people to just grab.

[@eroneko]

yep not much use for someone like me. a standard loaf of bread has started growing mould before ive worked my way to the end of it. but would be great once a week for 3-4 people.

A lot of our community share on OLIO, plus you can freeze the breads to keep them fresh.

[@Anne-ne5oy]

I live in a shared student house with 11 people. One girl works at a bakery and brings home lots of bread and pastries that would otherwise go to waste after late shift about twice a week. We love all of the bread and I actually started buying at the bakery as well on her days off because I've gotten so used to it. It's an awesome concept and the bread doesnt go stale often. And if it does we make german bread dumplings out of it 😁

[@JZBath]

We paused the video to sign up for the Earth and Wheat bread box! Found out, it's actually baked in our home town! We didn't know it existed, this is brilliant. Thanks SortedFood!

[@sharayalee3376]

“That’s 12 million sandwiches Barry!” I love the bread box! A lot of places will donate to food banks, senior centers or other organizations but sometimes there’s still more left over.

[@The_Keeper]

And, this has the added advantage of the bakers recouping some, if not all, of the expenses of making the bread.

[@MercenaryPen]

my only concern is that 2kg is a lot of bread at once for a single person

[@jamesbailey4304]

As a person in love with carbs in general and a distain for food water, that's appalling. I'm gonna look into local bakeries and see if they participate. I know some folks who can use it. Appreciate the tip.

[@milktea.7691]

@@MercenaryPen they do have less frequent options and you could probably freeze some of it so it doesn't get stale or make breadcrumbs if it does. would be better for more than one person though for sure

[@sinswept]

To be fair, I think a subscription like this (even if it is for a limited time) would be an excellent thing for a company or private person to donate to a charity or organisation who for example provide meals to people sleeping rough. Helps both the charity and the baker!

[@bethmontgomery1996]

My only problem with these videos is that there is always at least one that I really, really want and can’t have because of where I live.

[@paullenoue8173]

[@athousandlives7231]

Yeah since they are all UK based, it‘s just to far even if they would offer it 😅

[@VATROU]

Personally it would be nice if you looked at one of these box subscription services and they had connections to alternatives that could deliver to another country. Or is based in another country that they believe is up to their standards.

[@nettack]

That, and the bread box being the first one in all of that time, that is actually reasonably priced.

[@E_2the_mma]

Yeah I get it can be very annoying but I'm glad that finally I know if I see something here I know I can get it because it's often the other way round since everything usually is tailored around the US and Canada

Stay away. They're not for anyone who likes food.

[@sarahschmitt4354]

They have a tendency to send ingredients that are damaged in some way (broken, split, bruised, I’ve even gotten one that was crushed) or just kind of old. I’ve had better luck with every plate which is also cheapee

[@Sorceress966]

I've been doing it for a month or so, and as a very novice cook I'm very much loving it, it's making dinners much more interesting. Now it's pointed out to me, yeah, the packaging is a bit much, but I've not had issues with the quality of food or delivery. I can see the problem with recurring recipes like a lack of choices, but it's free to skip the week. And once I'm done with this subscription, I've still got their recipe cards for later use.

[@sanikaborah7370]

The Earth and Wheat Bread Box looks like an amazing service; good price, good for food waste and the environment, and some items freeze really well!

[@michaelmorgan2111]

Here in the us I’m subscribed to a kit called imperfect foods. They give you produce, meat bread and pantry staples that would otherwise be thrown away due to being “ugly” or overstocked. They give you a day and a half to shop and then send your box to you either weekly or biweekly. It’s great

[@MrAndrewtheguru]

That's a tricky proposition. I work in foodservice, and the *biggest* thing people want when going out to eat is consistency. If they order a sandwich and get it on different bread every single day, there would be some people that enjoy the experience. A *lot* of people would not. That's ignoring the sheer volume of produce that restaurants work through--having an inconsistent supply would not work at scale, even if it does drive you to explore at home.

[@andy16005343]

Of all of them the bread one is by far the most appealing. The flexibilty to choose one, two, three or four boxes a month is great and looks like it does some good as well. Very tempted to try even though we don't currently use a lot of bread - might encourage some new recipe searching as well. All the others I think I'd rather just hit some random items in my weekly shop to get the variety that way as they don't seem to offer huge value for money (for those of us outside of London prices!) Very interesting though, and would love to see more.

One of my favorite things to have come out of the year 2020 was my signing up for a produce subscription called Misfit Market. One box each week of organic produce that is perfectly good to eat but is ugly/odd looking/ or surplus and would otherwise go to waste because it’s not pretty enough to be sold in the supermarket. You get to pick and choose what you want each week. It’s great. I’ve expanded my palate by ordering things I’ve never had before and it’s nice to know I’m helping prevent food waste AND it gets delivered to my door. The company also makes sure to use recycled and biodegradable packaging including the cooler packs. It’s in the USA only as far as I know but I’m hoping they’re successful and can continue to expand.

When Barry said that he'd done the subscription box, I got pretentious ingredient video flashbacks! Lol 😆

[@kathyb10]

So, after watching this video I ordered an Earth and Wheat box. It arrived yesterday and I was ridiculously excited to unpack it, it all looks amazing! It's going to be a great week-end and I've got a well stocked freezer too. Thanks SORTEDfood

[@TehCommunistDuck]

I always feel like subscription services are kind of expensive for me, but earth and wheat sounds absolutely phenomenal - signed up before finishing the video!

[@tetsuei5928]

I love the idea and the thought behind the bread one - absolutely would do that if an option was available where I was.

[@chrissymorin]

I could totally hear James Hoffman screech in the back of my mind as Jamie was prepping the coffee. (Mind you, he'd be screeching if he saw me prep coffee too ehehehehe.)

5:09 we just found a contentder for a new badge - blindfolded cooking (things are allowed to be pre-chopped, no knife skills. Maybe give them x amount of time before the blindfolds go on so they can set hobs and such)

[@BradleyBoy]

Jamie: We don't want to be snobby or pretentious about it Barry: I FEEL VERY ATTACKED

[@davinapickering1235]

Always loving these reviews. Would love to see more subscriptions geared towards offering wasted food products. Wish there was a website where we could go to source every single company that’s focused on that belief. You brighten my day boys, Thank you☺️ warm regards from Bangkok Thailand

[@14rs2]

Could you guys also review full meal subscriptions? Like macro meals and things? See how they stack up?

[@SortedFood]

Thanks for the idea :)

[@devium]

Yes! I would love some more reviews on things like Hello Fresh, Chefs Plate, or other meal kit boxes (I know some specific ones are geographic specific)

[@jamyedowell245]

@@devium helloFresh is decent. $100usd/week for 3 meals (4 person meals) was a bit much for me. I used to do all my grocery shopping for 3 at the first of the month. $400-$430/month, 3 meals a day for 3 people. The recipes are always good. There are several options a week to choose from, as well as customization for gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and I believe keto diets. Produce and meats have always been good quality. The breads, I haven't been a fan of.

[@marcgamer15]

Aaah yes more of this, i love these videos!!

[@laurawilliams2445]

I really wish these types of subscriptions were offered in Canada, they all sound amazing!

[@LittleRedLemon04]

Agreed!

[@suecampbell4811]

You showed us how quickly we can make fresh pasta, so we'd choose that over getting a pasta subscription. We currently have a coffee subscription - for whole beans - and get a couple of types each month. We make our own bread, using a Zojirushi machine so you know its great, but that price and freshness of the bread intrigues us - sadly we're in the U.S. and are unaware of any bakery delivery service of excess inventory. The wine in the can - Barry sold it to us - we started out saying canned wine is a hard no but after hearing Ben describe the can lining and reception from those in the know about wine and Barry's lip-smacking taste test, we'd actually consider it! Well done!

[@taheera8849]

Does Jamie convert everything into sandwiches? "How much is that, J?" "It's about 200 sandwiches."

[@takemetoglasgow09]

If he ruled a country that would be the currency 😌

[@heyitsrae4085]

If I lived in the UK I'd definitely use the bread subscription!! For the quality and amount that you get at that price?! Definitely worth it!

[@emilypearl3510]

I would love to see you guys trying out one of those Japanese snack boxes. Bokksu I know has an initial fixed box. But there are loads out there.

[@tips22]

Signed up to Earth and Wheat a month back and it's been fantastic! I've not bought any other bread, now have some in the freezer, haven't had a bad batch yet, and always have some on hand! It's the freshest bread I've had that isn't homemade.

[@matthewwilson9749]

I love your content. Keep up the great job gents. Greetings from across the pond in Canada 🇨🇦

[@BlueGlow26]

Blooper reference 3:38 😁 Now we know exactly why Jamie was suppressing his laugh and red in the face haha

[@simonrichards4114]

Came here expecting this to be about HelloFresh or whatever, leaving with a subscription to earth and wheat! Nice one guys!

[@Missmethinksalot1]

Ooh good point

[@hopefletcher7420]

I received a tea subscription for Christmas. I get a box with 8 different blends every 3 months. Each blend only makes a few cups (loose leaves) but I'm trying so many new flavors it's great. I would love getting a coffee subscription it would make a wonderful gift.

[@carolynmurtaza1180]

how about tryiny the fresh cookk boxes... like Hello Fresh, gousto, simply cook, morrisons eat fresh box etc

[@MrApplelovin]

I'd love to see them do a Morrisons Eat Fresh one, we've had a subscription for a while and really enjoyed them but have seen varying comments about the quality etc, but there's not many video reviews of it

[@Candy-io8hi]

Oh I would try them all just to give it a go! I make my own fresh pasta at home so the pasta one isn't going to be a go-to for me but the rest? Yes!! The bread one is my favorite, why not take the product that would be discarded and use it? Much better than waste 😁 Love Ben's version of raiding the fridge hehe

[@poojatanawade7005]

Barry is so so cute! Also Barry you are the best photographer EVER!!

[@LiamQ1994]

The bread one is brilliant, I'll definitely be looking into that one. Not only good for the environment and small business but potentially also more economical than getting stuff at the shop!

[@ericorange2654]

Let’s see a video of the boys running a pop up kitchen. James and Ben need to show off their chief cred, and the normals can be waiters, bartenders etc And of course Janice can design the menu Edit: it could be a cool multi part video talking about different aspects like designing a menu, preparation and other things most people don’t even consider

[@peacelizard]

The can wine looked pretty cool. As someone who doesn't know a lot about them and needs to widen my palette more, it would definitely help. Plus, I like the cans from a storage perspective. I had a wine subscription a couple years ago; I think they would send 6 bottles of a month and it was annoying storing that (or more if we didn't drink it all in a timely manner)

[@alishabaker9346]

Love the idea of food subscriptions especially when you can get a one of box or pick how often you receive it. Maybe you guys should make one

[@SortedFood]

What would you want us to sell?

[@SilverTwil]

I agree..none of these boxes are available in the US and they sound delicious! If SORTEDfood did one maybe they'd ship here! As for what they'd send, I'd suggest some of the stuff from the recipe books!

[@raha5527]

[@alishabaker9346]

@@SortedFood it would be great to see recipes from books and vary them by meal time or themes

[@StKezziah]

I signed up to earth and wheat after this and I definitely recommend! You get fairly similar things every time but it's a small relatively new business and I'm sure when more bakeries across the UK join in there will be much more variety! However all you do get is wonderful and absolute staples of the kitchen
