Taste Testing Pretentious Ingredients | S2 E2 Sorted Food

[@therevolutionwillbecaffeinated]

An interesting point made after the Japanese chilli paste: sometimes/quite often it’s not the ingredient itself that’s pretentious, it’s the use of it by someone who either doesn’t care to know the history/culture behind it or who knows the surface level history/culture and uses it in order to seem knowledgeable or ‘worldly’

[@harfgarflarf]

Also as someone who lives in Japan often everyday ingredients from here are sold for massive markups in the UK.

[@Agamemnon2]

I think I saw the stuff being sold at Muji downtown, I might pick up a jar and see what I can do with it.

[@jonnyblows9261]

Which is why I appreciate the guys explaining the process and the farming and labour that goes into such a craft. They give everything a fair chance.

[@thewerdna]

Yeah, like, someone in Japan using it wouldn't be pretentious. Someone specifically importing it from Japan for personal use could very easily end up being pretentious.

I love Jamie correcting Ben's pronounciation. He's learned his lesson: never antagonise the Spanish XD

[@TheSoberBear]

Odd comment, as 'pronounciation' isn't actually a word... Never antagonise those who can spell 😁

[@joshp8535]

@@TheSoberBear You shouldn't antagonize people who spell incorrectly, either. Because often when they spell things wrong. It's because they have never seem the word written down, and learned it by ear. Furthermore, this person used the root word and then basically added on. That is a damn good effort. Even further, English is probably their second language. Point is, you can gently correct, but don't make fun. That's rude.

[@AnisPunjwani]

I feel like a lot of the ingredients recently have been more unique with specific applications rather than actually being pretentious. Could use something over the top which has regular replacements available to balance out the ingredients as well in the future

[@birdbird5337]

Seconded. A few "don't waste money on this, the non-premium version is just as good" things would be great

[@metalexile]

Yeah. It has all been interesting, but all the products featured lately have been niche products or traditional regional specialities and almost nothing has been genuinely pretentious in ages. Again, it’s all interesting, but for a series labeled pretentious ingredients, I think it has lost the plot a bit.

[@katiemusgrove228]

It kind of feels like an extension of ‘pick the premium’ rather than being its own thing

[@Bartimusable]

Or they could change the question from "Is this pretentious" to "would i be pretentious if i bought this?" As in, would a normal buy this because they would actually use it in a correct or appropriate way, or would they use it as a "oh, look what i bought" or useless fancy-maker (like putting flaky sea salt in soup), thus making them pretentious.

[@no_activity]

@@Bartimusable "useless fancy-maker" is exactly what I think of when I think of Pretentious things.

[@PhilBoswell]

Jamie's dead right: there is a distinction to be made between "pretentious" and "premium".

[@wolfsokaya]

The added goldflakes can help to decide. :]

[@DizzyBusy]

If it's made of the grass of a football pitch, it's probably pretentious

[@billyeveryteen7328]

He was right in making a distinction between "pretentious" and "premium," but for me, lost it again when he also made a distinction between "sciency" and "pretentious." Because to me, making food "sciency" reeks of molecular gastronomy, which is pretentious as balls.

[@RowanWolf22]

@@billyeveryteen7328 It makes sense though scientifically, put water in something where water shouldn’t be (chocolate) and you may end up ruining everything. But it is science to know how the crystals in chocolate form and what will ruin or seize it etc, which normal cooks may not know. Science can be pretentious, but at the same time, cooking is science to an extend. (Especially baking and sweet treats.) for me pretentious foods are expensive foods that don’t give any significant benefit to dishes / can be substituted for other items easily. (Premium items often bring out flavour, quality and delicious tastes, science- y understanding items are to help make food better without ruining it)

[@billyeveryteen7328]

@@RowanWolf22 Yeah, I completely agree with you. That association is completely a personal bias on my end, just because I really hated the molecular gastronomy trend. But I do agree that food science, in itself, is not pretentious. I'm actually a big fan of people like Alton Brown and Anne Reardon, two people who are self-described "food scientists" and go into detail about the physical and chemical reactions behind food and cooking. I think it's just the specific wording Jamie used; he described the lemon powder as "sciency" in a way that made me think of the stupid powders and gels you put in molecular gastronomy.

[@DizzyBusy]

@@jabonought yes, sometimes male chicks get...put to rest...upon hatching, because you only need one rooster in a flock of 10-12 hens. The hens are kept to produce eggs and more chicks. Recently a German lab discovered a process to identify the sex of an egg and since then it's becoming common practice (in some countries) to sell eggs containing male chicks, so that they get eaten and don't hatch at all. That's why cocks, lol, are more expensive to raise, because they don't return the costs of feed and pen the way hens do.

Are badges still a thing? If so, please give Jamie a golden Cultural Suck-Up badge for correcting Ebbers on the pronunciation of the Zolla brand.

[@mickaylao.9744]

Ben also keeps not mentioning that these fishing companies from the Bay of Biscay are Basque families carrying on Basque traditions and don't call themselves Spanish. The motto/slogan on the Zallo website is "everything that has a name exists," a Basque saying. Basques have small plates called pintxos, not tapas!

[@mathewcalaway7684]

Only if he gets a 'talking to dolphins' badge as well. No, I don't know what that has to do with cookery.

[@toomanyopinions8353]

​@Mickayla O. From my experience, people tend to ignore independence movements within previously established countries. Which is depressing as hell. Personally I find it even more sad that even someone from the UK, which is much closer to Spain and therefore should know more about it, is making this mistake. Someone from another english speaking part of the world I would understand more how they would make it. Then again, the English don't exactly have the best track record on respecting independence of ethnic groups.

An idea for future taste test videos - I've noticed the boys tend to try the dish without the ingredient if they can, like the chicken (with and without the condiment). This adds an interesting insight to what the ingredient really adds to a dish. With that in mind, it might be useful to make a control group dish that lacks the ingredient, or has a budget/standard replacement for it. That way, we could get a closer look at what really makes these products stand out. Anyway, great video as always, and I hope you see this

[@mycacumpston6961]

They already have a series like this called pick the premium. They have two of the same dishes with only one ingredient being either affordable or premium. They have to guess which ingredient is different and guess which one is the premium. No point making the same series twice.

So I had an idea. This is the second time that a Japanese product’s price has been way higher than the actual price. What if they added on a mention of the price in the origin country versus what they paid or even do a video or series just about product price differences (like guessing what it costs or which product had a price mark up).

[@johnhmstr]

this was a revelation to me... i didn't realize Lemon powder was not common in the UK. In the US anyone who has done any baking or really any above basic home cook level has very likely run into it. my favorite use is in Frostings or cupcakes for a super fast very tasty lemon flavor with no change to recipes at all. :-) but also great in home made spice mixes for chicken and seafood.

[@aprilblossoms4]

Pass it on idea: Every ingredient is a mystery. You write the name of the actual ingredient on paper and place it in an envelope, and write a generalized description on the outside. (Example: envelope would say fruit and inside it could be any fruit. Envelope could say seasoning and inside it could be any seasoning sweet or savory.) each guy could pick a max of 3 envelopes to make a dish out of and EVERY envelope would have to be used in some way.

Ebbers is so right about the stigma we have of what/how/where food is supposed to be. When I was in Mexico for work a few years ago, the two best meals I had in Mexico was a birria lunch spot behind the security outpost at Guadalajara airport, hidden behind where the federales checked security cameras, and what was essentially a pop-up "restaurant" ran out of the front garden of a woman who lived across the corporate plaza where I was working. In both situations, the only reason I found out about either place is because I specifically asked a random employee where they and the other locals eat on their lunch breaks.

[@MrMartinSchou]

I find the idea that the anchovy are hand caught one by one to be extremely unlikely. It paints a picture of fishermen using rods to catch them, and that isn't going to be viable for anything sold at large scale like this.

The grey mullet roe is actually thought of in Taiwan as a sort of premium, you splurge for it around the holidays, kind of ingredient. However, I never had it as a powder, it was always cured in a sort of slab and then you cut it into slices. Cool to see it featured tho!

I would LOVE to see you feature an episode of Indigenous Australian bushfoods. To keep with things you might be able to source Dried I suggest Kakadu or Davidson Plums. And Jilungin & Gumby Gumby Tea are both delish and medicinal. We ahve so much to offer! How about cooking with wattle seed!

I love powdered lemon! I go through citrus fruit like crazy, having it on hand great when it's not in season and grocery quality would be better suited for the compost. Personally I use in my tequila sodas or as an additive in seltzers and carbonated waters.
