TASTING CHINESE TREATS ft SORTED FOOD

[@aethernax3399]

Finally, my two favorite cooking channels collaborating on a video!!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Cheers :-)

[@synthiaperkins3686]

I can't believe I didn't know this existed!!! I never miss an episode from either channel (nowadays) I hope to see more!

[@carmenwilson3825]

Barry, I loved this collaboration with Sorted Food. You and Jamie worked really well together and had me laughing hysterically. You two should definitely collaborate again or have a show together. You're both a joy to watch. I love Lychee so would have been curious to try the jelly.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Thanks had a lot of fun :-)

[@carmenwilson3825]

Barry Lewis It definitely looked like it! ; D

[@dansurf828]

Please do another collaboration. Maby an ultimate battle

[@Mharriscreations]

This was pretty fun to watch as a foreigner living in China. About that tea though, to make it properly you use about a third as much as you did and let it sit for a couple of minutes longer. Seriously a small bag like that is enough for about 4 or 5 cups of tea.

[@yenee94]

I've watched a lot of people reviewing foreign food, but it was refreshing to watch people experienced in culinary art reviewing them. Cudos!

[@jashem123]

i love how well they work together! both have so much life in them!

[@beatlejn]

So the orange peel syou shouldn't just bite and swallow. It's more tolerable if you leave it in your mouth and it helps with sore throat and dry mouth.

[@martinva1447]

I remember someone in the comments asking for a collab with this guy, and you did it. That shows you dont only read comments but also takes them seriusly, and Thats awesome

[@ashleylamborn4087]

the red bean cake thing looks like a giant fig newton!

[@taylortaijeron6293]

Two of KZbins funniest KZbinrs together.. This is awesome!

[@burgerpattie]

I love how Jamie is such a foodie and appreciates everything, even if some of them is nasty.

[@burgerpattie]

I spoke too soon.

[@1addition1subtraction]

@@burgerpattie 😂 lol 😂

[@techno9495]

Its alway good to know what people eat in different places on earth.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Sure is, i've been sent a fair few things now!

[@brianartillery]

The picture of the 'dried Prune' looked exactly like the 'surprise' that our cat leaves us to thank us for accidentally shutting him in the house during the day.

[@bellemiku]

two fav food youtubers in one video omg

[@MultiEllie1998]

'Pret a manger' means 'ready to eat ' 😊

[@mrbarrylewis]

awesome good to know, I remember mange from school but that's it

[@michaelcoward7698]

scrofulous mange no doubt...

[@XxXshauniXxX]

brilliant video with sorted food, looking forward to more collabs with other people in the future :)

[@mermaidmicahlynn6163]

How am I just finding this???? My 2 favorite youtubers ever

[@Tezziie2701]

I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED I LOVE THIS

[@lindavanpelt755]

I love how you guys are so positive about the things you tried, even if you didn't enjoy it as much as you may have wanted to. Whereas in most videos of people trying foreign treats, they are a bit rude and offensive towards the food they don't like. I really appreciate that. And the video with Sorted food was a splendid collab! Very enjoyable. Well done.

[@vivsck]

Kudos for Jamie, he's on his best behaviour :)

[@evernals]

the white chunks in the jelly is nata de coco, which is a by product when fermenting coconut water, originated in the philippines

[@botanyao]

Hi usually for the orange peel you dont not chew it:) eat it like a lozenges and it will taste better.

[@botanyao]

Do not chew***

[@mrbarrylewis]

I wish you were there telling us that!

[@botanyao]

Maybe you will want to try it again . Then again it is really salty and in my country orange peels arw more popular with the elderly :)

[@JoanneTaylorChan]

I'm from Hong Kong... A little fun fact, we normally have preserved prunes with Chinese medicines (the bowl of black bitter soup)

[@idna832]

waiting for sorted and barry to collab again ....

[@twigwoodzim]

probably my favourite of all your snack video's

[@bogi18]

I tasted a kind of salty-sweet dried prunes in Taipei. And they are AMAZING! I ate 100g in one go.

[@sabbyf7922]

Another GREAT colab!

[@keevarodden8885]

Awesome collab us two look like you've known each other for ages xx

[@168crystal]

The jellies are actually made of konjac, a type of substitute for gelatin(in Singapore we call it konnyaku jelly and most people loves it).

[@brianartillery]

As long as that red bean pastry hasn't been polished with 'guardsman's gloss' I would be happy.

[@LarlemMagic]

I think the first chips are meant to be sold in Korea, Japan and China.

[@hmmmhmmm6917]

yes

[@crystalkim2287]

First snack is not Korean, it's Chinese verion of Korean snack '꽃게랑'.

[@cokieplayz9534]

Crystal Kim it has Korean characters...

[@jess_ym523]

It just shows how the taste of people vary so much in different countries. :)

[@OpticPancakeZz]

My two favourite channels in one room!

[@ohyeabananas]

barry is definitely imagining savoury-ness in the middle of the red bean cake. I grew up on that stuff and have never had one that i would remotely consider "somewhat savoury." Tbh jamie was a lot more open-minded about these things. &the lychee jelly! Omg. That explains my childhood in one go.

[@makaylawalker5279]

I don't know about anyone else but man I cracked up when you ate the prune licorice. Hahahahaha

[@crybabymoon]

FINALLY my two favourite cooking channels did a collab ^.^ I kind of freaked out seeing the videos right below each other and my mom asked me what was wrong xD

[@mrbarrylewis]

Lol that's cool

[@zombiesforyou]

We usually get those snacks during Chinese New Year. Everyone heads for the prunes and especially the orange peel, those are the crowd faves. LOL

[@dawntan3167]

The chunks in there is called Nata De Coco.

[@HopelessSinner]

Battle of the Dad jokes....!!!

[@Big_Loo]

Barry, you really should try lychee berries on their own, not mixed into a Jello shot with coconut. They are absolutely delicious.

[@Euleelee]

The first snack is not from China it's actually from Korea...

[@mrbarrylewis]

ooooh ok

[@jeanettedoesgames6467]

Ya it is

[@Himaniiibiebsy]

May be they're famous in China? That's why the person sent them over

[@AThousandLivesOfDais]

Really happy about this collab!

[@thespicyscorpian4672]

‘It is a spoon job’😬😂

[@ZhiyuanXu]

The orange peel and prune are both amazing snacks. Your loss😌

[@ChaosTherum]

I love those little jellos I buy big tubs of them from the asian market all the time.

[@LouLovesSmilers]

I sense a bromance blossoming!! Great video guys

[@mrbarrylewis]

Cheers first time we met properly but we got on great and nobody died

[@LouLovesSmilers]

Look like you've been friends for years! Hahah that's always a good thing

[@aliciab4676]

For the tea you put the leaves in the cup you drink from with water without straining.

[@kimberleypotter9852]

Oh yes. My two favourite channels together! Thankyou Lord.

[@tigereyemusic]

You can get those egg roll things with chocolate in the centre. Not here in the UK, but I've found them elsewhere in Europe. They're gorgeous.

[@nataliekwong2]

The crab chips are AMAZING!!!

[@DenseMeat]

get to watch my two favourite food tubers trying random Chinese foods, oh the joy :D

[@mrbarrylewis]

:)

[@thebluewhale8891]

There's a brand of potato 'crisps' called UTZ here in the US. They have their own brand of crab flavor and it's like eating compact slivers of pure salt. No crab flavor, just mouth killing salt. It still pisses me off because I really wanted crab flavor and paid $3.50 for a bag of them.

[@Marzipana1]

Guess the tea would've been enough for 10 of your cups.And Chinese tea is never "clean" (my chinese friend explained it that way). You put it in little boiling water, drain out the water, then put water in again, LITTLE bit of tea.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Barry Lewis It's great to have an open mind. Some of what you consumed has medicinal qualities, I would reckon, like the green tea.

[@cherry0248]

You guys verbally destroyed things I really love to eat 😂😂😂 good collaboration tho😁

[@kasperstenbom]

Enjoyed this, Barry! Love these treat tasting videos! :D

[@missmississippi16990]

Barry, I think some of your comments could be seen as slightly offensive. As a Chinese myself, I felt a bit uncomfortable with you saying "We're Chinese, we're crazy". Just cause you don't like it you shouldn't call the people who do crazy, and also who's to say that some of the foods in the UK aren't digesting to other people e.g. Marmite. Also it's important to say that not everyone in China likes all of these snacks. Another example being "By the buttocks of some angry Chinese man", this was the first video of yours I have watched because of Sorted, and due to how uncomfortable some of your comments have made me I will not be watching again. But I thought I should just warn you to be slightly more careful with some of your choices of words in the future.

[@pujaesha]

Ah,Jamie is sucha good sport :)

[@ladonsew8021]

Amal Majid very good looking

[@emalinel]

Ben trained your taste buds well Jamie :D Good job for holding it in with all the orange peel. My mom used to eat the prune candies a lot and I never got used to the taste no matter how many times I tried it. Ah! Those egg rolls are my childhood! They're delicious and kinda sweet. I used to drink milk through them like TimTams :3 Also lychee anything is delicious xD (though I more prefer the actual fruit than the jelly now that I'm older) Regarding the red bean paste recipe it's pretty common in a lot of Asian pastries (Korean, especially Japanese, Chinese, etc.) and the bean used to make the paste is completely different from the typical kidney bean you guys are imagining (it's called adzuki beans, look it up!). I think it's more of a textural thing that tends to throw people off because it's not quite "melt-in-your-mouth" like chocolate and it's also not as sweet (at least in most cases). It's basically a paste of cooked red beans and sugar which is usually stuffed in everything from rice-flour based pastries (like mochi! look it up) or wheat based ones (like moon cakes! also look that up too). I personally like it because chocolate (at least in that amount) is a bit too rich for me and I like sweets on the less sweet side. Regarding the chestnuts...uh I've avoided those for good reason. I mean some brands are good are really get the cooked/roasted chestnut down (usually the better brands have them in vacuum sealed packages so it doesn't spoil as easily), but usually I tend to avoid them because I like the texture of freshly roasted chestnuts better. And lastly, gods the tea. PLEASE BREW IT LONGER. That was like a minute or two, definitely not enough time for the flavor to come through. Green tea especially does tend to have a grassy note to it, but depending on the blend it can bring some really nutty (kinda roasted) notes as well that goes really well with sweeter pastries. I'm actually surprised how many things you guys DIDN'T like here. Especially some of the milder stuff like the lychee cups, or the rice crackers or the egg rolls. But hey, you guys probably grew up eating sweets/snacks a lot different than what I've been used to eating so this was probably an eye-opening experience for you guys. On an end note, I would really give red bean pastries (maybe find an asian grocery store near you or a confectionary/bakery shop that sells chinese pastries) and green tea another try because they're a STELLAR combination together. Thanks for the interesting collab guys :)

[@bearsheila]

the dried orange peel is good to relieve sore throat...just mix it with tea or hot water :)

[@TriSinging]

the orange peel can only be made from a certain selected mandarin oranges. and the most famous place or the only place that produces the highest quality of dried orange peels is my hometown. people buy those mandarin oranges and then peel them, and throw away the flesh but some retain the flesh to make jam, or preserve them for sore throat remedies

[@ViroValkyrie]

Pity that you didn't find the green tea to your taste. Bi Luo Chuen green tea is one of my favorites. Given enough time and hot enough water for it to brew, it gives out a very unique aftertaste and aroma. It is quite refreshing, in fact. Usually, it is better to get some fresh Bi Luo Chuen tea leaves instead of the air-tight packs you have in the video. Nice collab BTW ;)

[@cjtramm8]

Barry is my favorite. Such a great guy and show

[@jinwoooooooooo]

5:30 that orange peel is actually really good for sore throat, its more of a semi medicine than a treat

[@mattbell2374]

OH THE HD. SO PWEETY. Ahem, yeah that's, pretty cool man...

[@mrbarrylewis]

Cheers, the lighting in the studio really brought the best out of my camera.

[@ilajoie3]

I wonder if Jamie would be brave enough to eat things that Ashens would bring

[@yoshitoshi98]

I’d rather see Ben’s reaction.

[@frankandreaswenzel]

So regarding the chestnuts: have you ever had Vermicelles or Marrons Glacés? BTW, in Switzerland, you can buy roasted chestnuts on every corner. They're called Maroni, it used to be a staple food in the Swiss-Italian valleys.

[@Helvetica09]

Vermicelle *drools*

[@NoemiLopez-tv9hv]

que genial SORTED y BARRY en un solo video!!❤️

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

Noemi Lopez English

[@N0odlzOodlz]

oh they're preserved prunes! they're not bad actually. the jellies are my favorite though.

[@QuaversASMR]

As much as this is the best collaboration ever, it still would be better if Mike was in it :)

[@mrbarrylewis]

Don't think he was about that day, good excuse to do another!

[@QuaversASMR]

hell yeah!

[@chloetaylor9946]

LOVE your videos of tasting continental foods/ treats xxx And love your channel

[@TheDoozintiger]

Barry this needs to happen again. I love the guys at sortrd food. Also when you are there get them to hook you up with good mythical morning. Do your horrible sandwich thing you dont with ashens with them. All the best.

[@jakeneo]

Try mixing the orange peel with some cut guava... keep the mix in the refrigerator for an hour or 2.. The guava will taste very good with the orange peel..

[@MySmileIsntFake897]

Love this collaboration! :D I love asian snacks and food~~

[@mrbarrylewis]

Thanks a bunch, yeah it's pretty cool to try it!

[@BANJOKUZOOIE]

You can buy that lechi coconut stuff in world markets and other markets on California.

[@richie6799]

Those tea leaves are what u get tin the tea bags it's just this is "real" tea, because in the tea bags they put all kinds of stuff in it but that is just pure tea leaves.

[@SimonJ57]

The reason why the french "pret a manger" sounds like a french resteraunt, is that it means "Ready to eat". There is a cafe franchise with that name, I had to google the name to find out what it meant.

[@shirleycastle5170]

Your sure getting up there with meeting all the famous youtubers. Lol

[@daisybarndon4973]

In Australia those jellies in the little tubs are banned in schools due to people sucking up the jelly and coking on it so they have banned them

[@Ardacalya]

I love your international food tasting videos and I always am looking forward to more and love sorted haha great video

[@fleurfernandez]

I love chinese food and desserts! Great video guys

[@mrbarrylewis]

Awesome, some cool food

[@Kimablee]

Loved this, you guys had me in tears laughing!!

[@Smithlord]

In China you tend to find the sweet things for example cakes are salty and the savoury things like bread is one that springs to mind are more sweet tasting, it really confused me when I first visited Hong Kong age 7 :P

[@TheDay141]

Looking forward to future collaborations. Keep up the good work Barry! :)

[@mrbarrylewis]

Cheers

[@TheDay141]

Barry Lewis You're welcome

[@Unknownheh]

I love the fact that your videos contains many many snacks(encompassing a lot of the country's culture) & HAHAH i get so hungry. Anyways, I feel that Chinese food in general is not an easily acquired taste. People in asia grew up eating what you might consider exotic things (raw, alive, preserved) as compared to caucasians, who are more reserved and prefer eating things cooked. (:

[@patriciachristie4772]

You are like naughty little school boys ! Very funny to watch.

[@nekopireVT]

So many things referring to feet. I laughed til I couldn't breath because of this video.

[@brianartillery]

Lychees are delicious, despite looking like an unholy cross between a testicle and an eyeball.

[@Annieb1990]

a brilliant collaboration :) xxx

[@YaoiNoTenshi]

Green tea should be brewed in 175F water for a minute, to a minute and a half... For future reference.

[@kelskitchen3673]

the red bean bar looks like a huge moon cake in bar form

[@kash2178]

or you can do the ultimate pizza challenge where you make a pizza stuffed with every filling and try to eat it

[@13939014402]

Red bean would only served in dessert in Chinese cooking, and strangely it mostly served in savory dish in the west...

[@Ladderthief1]

Damn, that's a really nice fridge.

[@conniemay8292]

Nice I love it wen you do giant foods. Can u do some more

[@shinnlee704]

I'm From Singapore, And They Also Sell Food That You Guys Have Tasted. Some Are Just Horrible And Some Are Pretty Good, But Maybe Other People From Other Countries Don't Get Used Too The Taste Of The Food

[@grimTales1]

On the pack of roasted chesnuts the French part just says they're peeled, and ready to eat.

[@justayl]

I grew up eating all that stiff. Glad u guys gave it a taste!3

[@mrbarrylewis]

Nice!

[@kaidavis7923]

Lol, the orange peel reaction was hilarious xD But orange peel can be made into a great candy if you don't put salt into it C:
