Taste Testing BREAKFASTS from Around the World!! | Sorted Food

[@rif9576]

I am not a breakie person and slightly fussy to boot so these are a bit out of my comfort zone. Oh and no vodka for me but not judging anyone for having it with breakies 😂

[@SortedFood]

Some of these dishes would also taste great to us at any time of the day too. Yes vodka for breakfast definitely isn't for everyone 😂.

[@alasdairmcfarland5143]

I grew up eating tripe...but vodka would be needed for brekkie

[@codecane77]

I'm not a breakfast person either, but any of those would be good any point of the day!

[@tiacho2893]

When I see someone having vodka (or any alcohol during breakfast) they usually have to give some reason for it like "Well, I'm on vacation.", "I only do it when having brunch.", etc. It's almost never, "Well, it's just a normal thing."

[@MisanthropyFerret]

@@tiacho2893 хаш is kinda hangover food. it`s not for regular breakfast. Its plated at 5-6 a.m. in Yerevan

[@jordanjohnston5108]

Quick Question. Why don't these videos come with an accompanying "here's how the food team prepped these dishes" video? The Matoke is something I'd love to know your recipe on, as it sounds great.

[@wizzzard999]

This sounds like a perfect second channel idea! XD

[@liamguy2820]

SortedPlus - behind the scenes channel with the food team..

[@thomasmathew13]

Sounds like a horrible idea to me. Can you imagine the comment sections? It's just going to be filled with crap like, oh you did this wrong, or you substituted this and that's not right. It would be a shit show.

[@viveladecadence]

Because an infotainment video rates better than a cooking instruction video. Also, Sorted recipes are usually paywalled in the sidekick app these days, so I wouldn't hold my breath for any "here's how we make a dish" video soon. [Edit: I love your idea for those videos! I just don't see them happening keeping in mind how the focus of Sorted content has changed over time.]

As a 34 year old Colombian, I've never ever had Chocolate con Queso as breakfast lol it's always been, as Ben pointed out, an afternoon tasty treat. Another very popular drink to dump some cheese on is Aguapanela which is made from unrefined cane sugar (known here as Panela)

[@FaultAndDakranon]

I've had aguapanela with cheese! It's so good :)

[@Brewther]

And here I was thinking that you would point out that it's Colombia and not Columbia (which you will find in the US)

[@jfelipe1997]

Pretty nice that they started with us haven’t seen many Colombian stuff on sorted

My wife and I have a good friend from Colombia. I’ll have to ask her about this and try it the next time she visits this year!

[@jfelipe1997]

@@adamwarren5654 it is really good, if you guys can find the “panela” try that one too

[@TrainHardnett]

The guess of Bulgaria for the second dish is quite accurate actually as we do have a dish exactly like it with the exact same additive sauce of vinegar, garlic and salt. Only difference is we make it with pork, don't eat it for breakfast, because if you down one of those in the morning you are not eating anything else for the rest of the day and we eat it during the winter season as both a soup and fully gelatinized substance due to the pork fat and the added gelatin. All of the Balkans have a dish like this, except Turkey.

[@fionaclaphamhoward5876]

For me, can't beat a giuvoche if you want an eggy breakfast, or palachinki. I'm very lucky to have a Bulgarian partner who's introduced me to the delicious food of his country.

[@kubilaykabatas298]

Turkey has that too just not with pork, we use lamb or beef offals mostly, everything else is almost identical. We have brain, hoove and head(kelle paça) and tripe soups that is very very popular

[@TrainHardnett]

@@kubilaykabatas298 doesn't the lamb make a completely different dish though? With a bit of rice and cooked on low heat for a long time.

[@Anavrinde]

Guys, I'm Armenian and seeing you dive in khash and say that it's tasty gave me so much pride. Plus with vodka you reminded me of my father's ritual - he always does khash himself, spends all night on it actually, and congratulates himself with a glass vodka in the morning)

[@ngairetaylor6373]

A few years ago (sometime in the 80's) there was a member of my extended family (I can not remember who) who went to Japan as an exchange student. She was told to never refuse any food and to always show appreciation for the hospitality - every morning she was given a different breakfast dish each one becoming more and more exotic to a white middle class Australian (in the 80's) until she finally had to admit that she could not eat breakfast that morning... The Japanese family laughed and the mother stated (something like) "we were wondering if or when you would ever say 'no thank you'... our children would have stated that they would not eat the breakfast a few days ago". They (apparently) did the breakfast on the 3rd or 4th morning she was there to show her something that they would have eaten years ago. when my cousin ate it they decided to see what else she would eat (always with a 'common' breakfast at hand for if or when she would say 'thanks... but no thanks'). So (when she ate the food) they then prepared other and more unusual foods from around Japan - food that some Japanese people eat or use to eat but not the usual fare... Many of which were apparently festival foods or food from Japans history. When she finally stated did that she could not eat the breakfast. They laughed and apparently used the experience as a learning tool to explore what people do and do not eat in both Japan and Australia.

[@cazzioc]

To be fair to the guys, they were in the right parts of the world with their wrong guesses, which I think is impressive.

[@Moehre040]

yeah i think for almost all of them they got close enough that in Ben's place i would have given them the half point each, he mentioned at the start (the last one with the banana might be debatable). wouldn't change a single thing about the score though, so pretty irrelevant

[@tiacho2893]

Yeah, most "countries" are just lines on a map, while the food ignores the border. And not knowing the regional food of Africa is kinda a given. It's a huge continent and most westerners (myself included) are unfamiliar with almost all of the cuisines in Africa. I'm Korean and cringe a bit went something is described as "tasting Asian" because the term is so vague and doesn't really mean anything. But I understand that the person using it is trying to describe what they are unfamiliar with in the most familiar terms.

[@bip5395]

Btw "The belly soup" as it is known around is also a Bulgarian/Balkans thing. A great cure for the hungover, could add some hot pepper flakes to spice it up besides the garlic :)

As a Mongolian, I knew immediately that those were buuz when the "soup" came out of the dumpling! You can also poach these parcels in milk and it's very tasty. I'm afraid seasoning in this cuisine isn't very exciting, as the climate is very harsh - sorry, Barry. We do have a lot of dairy products that are delicious though. For ex., aaruul are milk curds, and every non-Mongolian friend I offer them to absolutely hates the taste/texture haha. Might be a fun one for the exotic food challenges ;-)

[@jessicazaytsoff1494]

Buuz looks like something my scando + Sami family would like!

If you play video games, FFXIV has a Mongolian inspired region with all the NPCs talking about buuz! Makes me want to try some.

[@honchandesu]

@@Draphia oh I never knew! Thanks for that! Always pleasantly surprised when I encounter Mongolian stuff on the outside :-)

I stumbled across a recipe for buuz a few months ago and they are my fav!! I make big batches to freeze and then I can steam them for an easy supper when I need a pick me up.

[@Theaddekalk]

loved buuz since i visited mongolia, for 10 years ago, made some actually this week.

[@angelicatorres762]

I loved to see chocolate santafereño in one of your videos!! And I'm really impressed with Mike for getting the country right! (Although I'll point out that it's Colombia not Columbia). The name "Chocolate santafereño" comes from the capital´s old name. Bogotá was called Santafé de Bogotá decades ago, and the chocolate was a classic there, that's why it's called "Satanfereño". Chocolate con queso is definitely a classic in the center of the country, and there are many places in Bogotá that serve really really good chocolate! Thanks for featuring this dish!!!

[@albert_vds]

I really like the games where the answers aren't given on screen. It's fun to guess along! And it's always fun to talk about food(it's much more fun to eat it tough)!

[@animefallenangel]

I was so impressed with myself for guessing the Armenian breakfast XD It struck me as a very Middle Eastern style meal until the vodka, which made me think Eastern European. Then I remembered my brother recently moved to Armenia for work and it clicked.

I'd love to see the reactions! love the videos as always

Wow that sounds delicious! Thank you for the rec!

As soon as the meat fell out of the dumpling at 7:42 (ish) my first thought was actually of Bwz. There is this Mongolian restaurant near where I live and they make bwz and I get them almost every year for my birthday, so good! Mind you, the lady who runs the place (hole in the wall place) pronounced it like 'bewtz' instead of how Ebbers does, which sounds closer to 'booze.'

[@SortedFood]

That's so interesting, thanks for sharing 😀

[@kirohaas3193]

​ That's because in Mongolian, the spelling literally doesn't matter, as long as you get the right 'sound' from it. It's a very fascinating language like that. It can be spelled bwz, buuz, bouz, bws, etc.

5:33 Barry was actually not far off with his guess. In Bulgaria we have almost exactly the same dish, we call it "pacha" [пача], however due to pork being cheaper we more often make it with pork legs,ears,cheeks. It can be served hot like this with the vinegar & garlic, or it can be left in the fridge to gel up and then cut like deli.

[@dinitris16]

In greece we have a similar breakfast as the second shown in this video called 'Patsas' and there are even stores that are open 24/7 selling only that. Many people eat it even at 2am after a night of drinking

[@russergee49]

Oh I didn’t know that people eat it for breakfast. I thought it was mostly “drunk food”. My parents are from Greece but I grew up in Canada, so it’s not as popular here but some people do make it in our community :)

[@tastymedleys]

@@russergee49 As a greek person, I've never heard of anyone having it as actual breakfast, if they have it in the early morning it's after an all-nighter of drinking. I think it's generally considered more of a proper meal by most people.

Love this format! In Taiwan we have egg pancake rolls ( green onion pancakes), sweet or salty soy milk, fan tuan ( rice rolls that can be vegetarian or with pork floss, Chinese donut, and other bits), and also soup dumplings.

As a Colombian I saw the thumbnail and immediately recognized our delicious chocolate! Normally this is PART of the breakfast, not the entire thing, you can eat it with anything you want in your meal, like eggs, tamal, changua, etc. But also a "light" option would be the chocolate with the cheese and a piece of bread of your liking Also, the most appropiate cheese to use is quesillo, is an artisan cheese wrapped in banana leaf Lastly, since Mike liked it so much, I'll forgive the typo, it's Colombia, not Columbia 😂

[@SortedFood]

That sounds SO good! 👀

[@AFallingToaster]

@@SortedFood Ecuador has some hidden gems. It's such a small country and some of the food is so similar to Peru that it gets overshadowed and forgotten. One thing that definitely separates it from Peruvian food is that, for the most part, Ecuadorian food does not include spicy dishes Some of the best things to try: Encebollado - breakfast fish soup Seco de Pollo - a sort of stewed chicken that is served with the staple Ecuadorian sides: rice and fried ripe plantains Encocado - it's a coconut-based citrus sauce put over seafood like shrimp or a white fish and it's pretty dang good Hornado - Basically a whole slow-roasted pork, popular in the mountains Fanesca - a special creamy soup with fish and lots of vegetables made on Easter Cuy Asado - this one you guys probably can't/won't do, but it's rotisserie guinea pig. If you took a bite without looking, you would say it's chicken. Cliche, I know, but true. Horchata - No, not Mexican horchata. This is completely different. It's a purple tea drink made with a huge variety of herbs and flowers. Very unique. Bolon de Verde - I'm not a huge fan, myself, but it's a green plantain pounded into a sort of paste and then wrapped around meat and sometimes cheese. Often added to soup. Fruit Juices - Ecuador has the best fruit juices you've never heard of. Maracuyá, naranjilla, tomate de árbol Alright, that's my quick list. You could probably do Fanesca for a holiday food special, guessing what it celebrates. Horchata for a name mix-up thing. Encebollado for another breakfast thing. Cuy to see if the guys can tell what it is if given a carved piece. Stuff like that.

[@Roushlamn]

Banana/plantains in savory dishes are pretty common in both African and South American dishes. It is amazing how well it works.

[@discreetscrivener7885]

The Armenian dish reminds me of locro, a squash based stew from Argentina. Locro is a staple around Argentina in May (along with humita, a dish similar to tamale). It’s definitely one of those soups that bubbles away for a long long time. Being American I was initially put off by the tripe, but it grew on me and I found the texture experience to be similar to eating clam chowder.

Seriously, we had that in a needle point with stitched 🍎apples, 🥧 pie, and a wedge of 🧀 cheese. (My grandma was so weird) Instead of whipped cream, or ice cream, thin slices of cheddar we're laid across the top crust on an apple pie to melt from the steam.

Funny thing is I am Armenian and it didn't cross my mind you guys would do this dish as one of the meals. Ben, you almost said the name correctly but just a little off. The main thing is that some locations in Armenia use different parts of lamb to make the dish and there are some(like my family) who makes it using only and mainly the head of the lamb. Eyes, tongue, brain and everything else around it excluding the skin. We make it similar to how Traditional Ramen Broth is made and we also don't usually mix the vinegar and garlic together and keep it separated because some people don't want one or the other or equal parts of them together.

Love the concept. How about doing the same but in a more defined area like South America where you'd have similarities but subtle differences, or not! Who knows? Over to you guys to get it sorted :-)

[@RedRose1010100]

Could do a "walk along" the continent, like start on one side and jump from country to country to see how one dish tweaks in each place.

[@thefancyunicorn]

Their guesses are getting better. They definitely get the right continent now and often get the correct region. Bravo for highlighting different world cuisines.

[@katherinetusa181]

I’m surprised Mike likes the first one- considering his dislike of cheese

[@SortedFood]

This is a good point. It's a texture thing, and he liked the texture of the chocolate and cheese together 🤷‍♂

[@yumkas]

And Barry likes the last one despite his dislike of bananas!

[@susanegley4149]

Looooove videos like these. Food is the global language of love that unites us!

[@ldn_rumrunner]

I actually managed to guess both Mongolia and Colombia correctly. Also it reminded me of the Norwegian (IIRC) custom of eating ekte gjetost, a very young and creamy cheese with coffee for breakfast

[@maksichawla6317]

Wonderful to see some East African food on the channel! There is a lot more to try, especially from the Swahili coast!

[@moonshiro]

Well it was a fun video! I discovered things I did not know and from countries that are not usually talked about! It was refreshing! Did the staff try the avocado dessert/breakfast with condensed milk and ice coming from the South American Area? And what about trying Israeli breakfasts or Jewish dishes? There are special things in Israel! (like Boorekas, Have you heard of it? REALLY easy to make and its sooo good And there are so many different types, different fillings and shapes and modes of preparation, it is really recommended to look into it and the communal dishes in Israel, Jahanon is also a great recommendation!!)

[@xclim2011]

Do you think it’s possible to share on how you prepare offal? Seeing there are more of these types of ingredients you have in your videos now I hope we get to see the process and what you will need to do to prepare some of these cool dishes. Thanks Sorted!

[@katherinetusa181]

So excited for this one!

[@auracle6184]

Chocolate and cheese is a great combo! Ever since I was a kid I've loved a nutella and red leicester sandwich for that nutty/chocolatey/salty mix.

[@atifahmad5000]

The Armenian breakfast is very close to what we In North India call Nihari, it's basically a stew made from off cuts of Buffalo cooked overnight and served with a flaky bread. Would be interesting to trace the history of both the dishes.

[@krissybell76]

Watching this next to my Aunt (we’re Armenian) and she says, ‘what are they eating? That sounds like Khash.’ She was so happy to be right and that an Armenian dish was featured. 🥰

[@Joe___R]

This is an exceedingly difficult game. Given the amount of countries & potentially only regional dishes makes this by far the most difficult game you have ever had. I seriously doubt Ben would have done any better when given food for a country he has never been to nor even had any food from it or a neighboring country.

[@tattletail9720]

try a Russian cottage cheese pancake (Syrniki) it was a game changer for me.

[@Tharr-cx4uq]

Yeeaaa Sorted Sundays

[@TraceyOfficial]

I think the boys deserve 1/2 points for being so close to the answers. I am also amazed how the countries see what I would consider Dinner meals for breakfast, bar the chocolate drink there is almost no "sugar milk" combinations.

[@hilotakenaka]

You know, this breakfast video sure is good timing considering we now have _vegemite baked beans_ in Australia

[@alexanderd7058]

they're an abomination, they've ruined two glorious food products

[@countrye3013]

i mean, it probably doesn't taste like vegemite? And if it does it wouldn't be the end of the world since vegemite doesn't go horrifically with tomatoey things

[@sk8rgirlo]

This type of video is great, I love being introduced to new cuisines! Also I’m not sure if I’ve just missed it but I don’t think you’ve done much Caribbean food on the channel. I’d recommend things like Ackee and Saltfish and fried dumplings, sweet potato pudding, or ducana (like a sweet potato dumpling thing), there’s a few more well known things like the stew/pepperpot, jerk chicken, fried plantain, possibly banana pancakes with corned beef cooked in a tomatoey sauce. (Half of my family is Antiguan so I’ve got to experience some amazing food!)

[@danielcollins2897]

I think Barry should have gotten half a point for being geographically close with Peru, plus part of Peru used to be part of Grand Columbia before it split into the many countries that are there today. I also think they both should have gotten a half point with the Mongolian dish considering the train of thought they both were on was spot on, however they both stepped off said train on the wrong stations. For me, Barry:1 Mike:2

[@b_uppy]

Yes, Ebbers said a half point for being close. Bulgaria is actually pretty close to Armenia, across it the Black Sea from Armenia. The 3rd one they should both get half a point. I'd say a tie...

[@webbon]

And you spell it Colombia, not with a U.

[@teai2103]

For your Bulgarian breakfast - podluchena shkembe chorba - tripe soup (tripe in milk boullion with paprika and the same condiment garlic+vinegar) or if you are not drunk - banitsa (egg and sirene filling) with yogurt/airan. For more acquired taste buds gruel made of sheep/goat brined cheese melted with butter and mixed with sourdough bread crumbs. And for the afternoon bread slices with salted butter covered with green garlic leaves or lyutenitsa

[@themightyai-5302]

Kolbulle with lingon jam. It is one of the only dishes I know of where you want to burn the food. Like, badly. The jam pair well with the burnt taste and even better with the salt bacon on the inside. This is not a breakfast however, more a dish from some rather specific parts of Sweden that we make in the great outdoors during some special occasion. Not a holyday or something just that special, just some small special thing. It can be made indoors, just use a bad cast iron pan and don't use a fire alarm.

[@Beluchy59]

I absolutely adore Mike in vids like these because he’s always super interested and respectful in a way that’s almost childlike when presented with other countries. Absolutely love him.

[@beckyjennings5050]

Breakfast?!? I'm here for it! 🤤🤤

[@arothmanmusic]

I’m so glad you titled it “Global Breakfasts from Around the World”. At first I was expecting global breakfasts that were solely from London.
