The ULTIMATE Lemon Meringue Tart Battle! | Sorted Food

The ULTIMATE Lemon Tart SHOULD have a crisp pastry base, tangy lemon filling, a thin layer of raspberry jelly, and a soft, creamy meringue topping.
If they try REALLY hard, the guys might get at least one of the components right (?!)

Please make a video, where the chefs make a complex dish and then the normals have to make it themselves only by tasting it.

[@dianneramil2116]

Areg Canas up for this!

[@oogity-swoogity]

I like this idea

[@emmahoward7351]

Areg Canas good idea x

[@dpchiko17]

They seen it! Please do it now!

[@StephenJ95]

I’ve been wanting this for ages. Like ‘Taste It Now Make It’ in Hell’s Kitchen. I can only imagine the carnage that would ensue.

[@edajio_]

I love that Mike and Jamie know exactly what Baz is talking about with the lemon tarts not being too lemon-y, but they're still screwing with him 😂

[@VixeyTeh]

And he can't stop trying to get his point accross, hejust gets stuck in the infinite loop. XD

[@hopecox]

I feel like I'm Barry and my friends are Mike and J. #ifeelyabaz

[@AlexNgiam]

Can I suggest a simple twist to these kind of recipe challenges? Include some sporadic common mistakes in the recipes and see if the boys can pick it up. They either get it right, or screw the dish up. And Ben has to eat the dish regardless of screwed up or not. It would be quite educational for us amateur chef-wannabe viewers too, to learn what mistakes not to make while cooking

[@MelissaFlaquer]

OMG! This is genius! milky scrambled eggs or custard? eggs one at the time or all at once? leave out salt entirely in a recipe... and they all have to eat it no matter what!

[@RosieDuck]

this is an amazing idea!! and reminds me of this: one time, one of Jamie Oliver's tart recipes (i guess) on his website had a typo. it said something like 12 lemons instead of 2 lemons, which made a DRASTIC difference as you can imagine. and people, had SO MUCH trust in Jamie Oliver that they actually went and put 10+ lemon in their creation and... well... you can imagine the results :D i wonder how much these guys trust their chefy friends lol XD edit: it was a pasta recipe apparently which right now has been changed from 13 to 3 lemons as needed

[@PotatoTK]

Yes!

[@k.wegner]

Melissa ß. I luv the idea.....😁🤪😳😆😂🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍✌️

[@jerden3285]

I feel like they already add enough mistakes to the recipe, without any extra help!

[@NutritionImpossible]

Aww. James consoling Mike with a one-armed hug is the second-most heartwarming thing I've seen today after that parade of raccoons being helped out of a dumpster.

[@rassclartindeairblud5335]

ahah, that raccoon vid is everywhere

[@bcaye]

Fuck raccoons. They come in through my cat door. I wouldn't care if they just ate the cat food but they have to browse through the trash and tip over the water bowls.

This comment made me ugly laugh

[@valliarlette6596]

I'm amazed they could meet the brief considering the many restrictions (one blowtorch? one stand mixer? deliberately short time allowance?) that had to be overcome. Well done, in spite of.

[@yoissmee1244]

Yeah i wish they were given like 4 hours bc they're still not pros and there was too many obstacles holding them back

[@seofra8252]

You can do awesome things even if your not a pro. They are knowledgeable home chefs at this point. I think they would be good on Masterchef actually.

[@sammulhall]

This was so stressful to watch... Ben and James’s tart looks delicious though

[@PandaCatXD]

Stressful and hilarious :P

[@lavanderFemme]

17:56 Mike singing to himself as the panic sets in is always priceless ^_^ P.S. How long have I been missing out on bloopers?? Now I want to go back and binge the last 10 seconds of every video

[@ryantrinder4386]

I don't think it was panic. I assume it was a HGV but there was a horn and there's a song that starts with a horn followed by a tune that Mike was vocalising. I think it's Vengaboys but I'm not certain! EDIT: I googled it and it's Vengaboys - We like to party!

[@mananexus]

You should do a five ingredient challenge where all of you get the same 5 ingredients and see who can make the beat dish you can use other ingredients but whatever you make must have he base 5.

[@terilyte3152]

That reminds me of MasterChef a bit

This is still one of my favourite Sorted videos of all time. Mike's cry of agony as the merengue comes sloping out the pipping bag never fails to make me laugh.

Yes! A food battle! Missed these soo much 😭 😁

[@eliserich1063]

Do an international challenge,all the boys are given a country and they have to come up with a dish from said country.

[@ryanlum3269]

jamie speaking in the intro was quite quiet this week; the music was louder. maybe a suggestion to increase the audio for the narration next time? xx

[@Laura_Norda]

I was thinking just the same. The background music is so much louder than the speaking. It can be a bit bad but today's video was a lot worse than normal. I don't like to be a complainer, but being hard of hearing life's already difficult enough without having to strain to hear talking on a sorted video :'(((((

[@ns1983za]

I agree. I actually found the audio volume to be quite inconsistent across the whole video.

[@britnii113]

Mike your mousse looked *really great* tho so it's okay ♡

[@agentarachnid2009]

Please do a student battle. Have a realistic student budget and equipment

I got a set to kit out a camper van, as all the equipment was 3/4 size from normal. Felt like kids toys

[@mariofilipovic1]

I'M GOOEY IN THE MIDDLE BABY LET ME BAKE :D

[@SilverAlaunt]

I’d love to see a blind taste test battle where Barry, Mike, and Jamie make the same recipe (that has some wiggle room for creativity - like the design on the pie crust, presentation style, etc.) and Ben and James and a few others have to determine who made which dish.

[@andyt2k]

*See's the title, actually gets so excited I click twice*

[@genw5385]

haha title got me excited too!

[@stevenn1940]

Interesting idea: have the three choose a desert dish to make, and declare it beforehand. Then add a modifier, randomly drawn from a hat or such, that the recipe has to made in the style of. For example, if one said "cheesecake" and got a modifier "hamburger," they would need to make a cheesecake in the style of a hamburger.

[@VixeyTeh]

Jamie draws Burrito and the modifier Paella. :P >:}

[@Ingeronic]

You evil, evil chefs! Please do some more of this. I do love seeing Barry, Jamie and Mike struggling.

This is so great, and i loved it. But it took a while didnt for you to make another ultimate battle. But it was all worth it. Love everything about you guys keep it up😁😍

[@Cationna]

So this was an all-round delight. A lemon tart with meringue battle - YES THANK YOU (my favourite!), a thrilling race (oh you wicked sneaks, you, Ben & James, you can't just set them up for a failure like this and just sit back and enjoy the entertainment with us), and an ultimate plot twist of an ending (but really, well done, Jamie!)... This was 18 minutes of my life well spent. What can I say, I just love you guys and the easy, endless-banter-filled friendship of yours centered around the mouth-watering food. Even if watching it does give me unquenchable cravings in the middle of the night so I end up gazing sulkily into my understuffed fridge at 3 am and inevitably turning to your old cake-in-a-mug recipe.

[@sandraroberts5951]

Mike you shouldn't have OVER beat your Meringue to get at Jamie thats why yours was so runny

[@VixeyTeh]

:O wow... moments like this make you believe in karma... But also he put the wrong vial of puree in the merrange and the jelly.

[@taylorcarter831]

Doesn't making it too early also cause it to deflate? Ideally, if they'd had the time, they should have made it while their jelly was setting.

[@cathyc926]

It'd be really interesting if not everyone had the exact same recipe. Might be fun if you take out an 'essential' ingredient from each of their recipes and have them figure out what's missing/how much to add :)

I know I'm late to this party, but this is by far, one of my top 10 favorite episodes. I really felt that the pressure of the challenge, great directing and camera work, and the boys just being the boys, really synergized in this episode.

[@ethancampbell215]

I absolutely love the fact that despite all the progression and development all the normals have made over the years, improving their skills and techniques and broadening their expansive knowledge and understanding, there is no change in the present from the past when placed in these battle scenarios 😂 they all very quickly lose all composure, everything goes out the window as they struggle with the basics and they exude enough stress and panic to power a super collider 😂

AAHHH...you guys are amazing!! Laughed through the whole thing!!

[@thomasedwards6641]
