Sorted Food’s Mystery Food Vacation: JAMIE

[@mrow7598]

For Ben: A double decker bus is about 4.1 Meters tall. Grand Canyon is 1857 meters deep. So the Grand Canyon is 453 double decker busses tall.

[@sirBrouwer]

so that would be one hell of a traffic jam.

[@ducklinsenmayer7681]

@@sirBrouwer Yes, but what flavor of jam?

[@melaniechorak251]

I'm Native American. Ty for properly explaining fry bread. It's often confused as traditional when our food is actually very vegetable and grain centric + fish and game meats. Kudos ❤😺 That being said fry bread is stupid delicious and if you see it try it! My husband is from another country and I was heartbroken they were out of fry bread at his first powwow. I really wanted him to try it and it's fairly uncommon in our state. 😿

[@samamaya9946]

I agree. I also think it was great that they didn’t go to a touristy food location.

​@@samamaya9946I absolutely agree. They clearly went to the effort to find locally iconic things.

[@mid333]

I lived in Arizona for 10 years (6 years in Tucson, 4 in Phoenix). My husband and I explored as much of Arizona as we could during those 10 years.. it’s such a special state. I miss it so much, so this video was really a treat for me 🌵❤

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

This was a spectacular video. I am a huge fan and is always welcomed to see you guys do something a little different and just have fun. Plus the cinematophraphy is amazing! Proper credit to the team for that

[@kamanama3671]

i’ve been to Tucson many times and even though it is as hot as all Hades… the food scene is amazing. They have some of the freshest ingredients with some of the warmest hearts cooking them❤

[@DaleyKreations]

Cool! When Ben commented on the quinoa leaves I thought "those look a lot like lamb's quarters" (which grow rampant in my yard. Turns out they are closely related and the seeds can be eaten the same ways. I've got free quinoa in my yard!

[@rhondamc5529]

I want to make a pesto with lamb's quarter. Like you , it's all over my garden.

[@sirBrouwer]

you could probably also use the leaves and blanch it in hot water with some mashed potato in to a what we Dutch call a stamppot. (keep the potato mash a bit firm)

[@DaleyKreations]

@@sirBrouwer Oh in the reverse of Ben, I knew the leaves could be eaten, I just didn't know about the seeds

[@AnonAnd]

Kudos to Jamie for being the only one on this channel to directly address colonization and its impact on food culture. I would love to see more of this on the channel!

[@Cationna]

What on earth do you mean, they constantly mention various kinds of colonialism and colonization's influence on global foods?? Not a "global X food" episode goes by where that is a topic, and even in very homely UK-centered recipes it comes up for obvious reasons.

[@kn5w]

25 years ago, I did the same thing: flying over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter. It's an experience that stayed with me ever since and I'm glad to see you got to do it too. I was not especially well back then, having contracted both sinusitis and tonsilitus at the same time, but it's still a core memory. Thanks for helping me relive a key point in my life so far.

[@margowsky]

Wow! I've spent the last week or two wondering what happened to the footage from the USA. Today is my birthday. What a wonderful surprise this is!

[@SortedFood]

Well, happy birthday to you!!

[@lexirose271]

Yay!!! I adore this part of the US... I hope you stop by Santa Fe because it is gorgeous 🌮👩‍🌾 I am from Colorado myself but currently an expat in Europe so this will be a nice vacation back without needing to step foot in the states! One thing I will add is that the Colorado River is one of our most precious landmarks and we are about to lose it completely. I used to work for the Colorado Water Conservation Board and the issues that have come from this river are legendary. Enjoy it while you can everyone!!

Way to go Jamie for the planning and the team for amazing shots! This was definitely epic. When I saw this was finally USA footage I was excited, when is saw it was AZ I was ecstatic! I grew up in PHX. Can't wait to see the rest of this series! Well done as usual Sorted!!!

[@sdube001]

Dad was Air Force and his last two stations in the USA were California and Colorado. After he retired in Colorado, we stayed there. He and mom loved seeing anything we could drive to in a day or two, so I got to see so much of Southwest America. I got misty eyed each time I went to the Grand Canyon. If you are ever in the 4 Corners area again, I HIGHLY recommend Mesa Verde. It's beautiful, and the ancient cliff dwellings are a marvel in themselves. I've now retired to Las Vegas, and now only a few hours from the Grand Canyon. I also highly recommend a trip to Yellowstone in Wyoming if you ever get back to the States. Once you get past the fact that you are essentially on a massive volcano, the beauty of the area is outstanding, as is the wildlife.😊

Tombstone is such an interesting and historical city to walk around.

[@augustus4047]

For those who remember from back in the day this is high praise. Keith Floyd was a TV chef who went to various places around the world and explored their geography and culture through the lens of food and the rapport that enthusiasm for learning about their food gave him with the locals. It put a passion and enthusiasm for all of the places he visited that projected out of the screen and made you want to go to those places, experience that culture and eat that food. Jamie has just pulled off a complete Keith Floyd.

[@pokenchill4945]

Australia trip is a must! Visited the Grand Canyon, you now need to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and eat Daintree Icecream

[@SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

Really appreciate yall highlighting the history of fry bread. It was born from horrific conditions and incredible resilience. ❤

[@lellyt2372]

I am Irish and that resonated with me so much. Our foods also tell the history of our people and the suffering we went through. Much of our recipes and staple food tradition were born out of our hardships that we endured at the hands of colonisers. We celebrate them now, as our comfort foods and we even have taken on some of the foods of our colonisers as our own traditional comfort foods. They are not the dishes that are known throughout the world as Irish but we still have them and they are such a part of our history that not every Irish person even knows they come out of hardship and suffering

[@rainzerdesu]

You are blessed to call this amazing State your home ! I was in Arizona way back in 1991. I was 13 and it blew my mind. We didn't get to spend very long there, only a day or two passing through but for a young teen from rural Ireland it was unbelievable !

And as everyone else has said, the production levels on these videos are phenomenal!

I have however to admit, that I would have liked, that Sorted went to another continent (as you promised us many years ago, several times). You have been to the US several times, and I love the videos from there. It would however be great, to get Sorted from somewhere in asia or africa.

I genuinely shed a couple of tears at the shots passing over the edge and revealing the depth and beauty of the grand canyon (3:50). I wish I could see it in person. Made me feel small in the best way, reminding me that nature is bigger than us and will exist well after we're done wiping ourselves out with our small, small problems and squabbles.

[@LiqdPT]

It's even more amazing in person. What they likely didn't get from the helicopter is just how eerie it is to walk up to the edge and say something, and your voice just dissappears. No echo whatsoever. No reverb. It's just off into the ether.

As a Phoenician, WTF? How can you call that an Arizona Food Trip/Tour without even making a stop in Phoenix? The food scene over the past 15 years has grown to rival any major US metro area. Very disappointed that PHX wasn't represented. It didn't even need to be the main course, but to just completely gloss over it and go right through to Tucson... that's almost a slap in the face. ;) You could have even stopped off at the Superstition area to get some good tourist type stuff. Besides the Phoenix slight, Jamie did really well in his choices. The Grand Canyon flight as the boys first time seeing it in real life had to have been crazy. I remember seeing it for the first time as a kid. I couldn't even take it in because it was just so huge.
