I love your videos, and I was so excited to see you on this channel today! So many of your around-the-world series have inspired me to try different foods (especially the holiday foods and breakfasts)!
@@SortedFoodAfter seeing Jamie guessing Brazil for the Finnish meat pie... i strongly recommend him to look up "podrão" - the ultimate SouthEastern Brazilian street food (mainly from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro).
It's really popular here in Germany as a funfair food aswell. Mostly in the eastern parts but It's THE food I am always looking forward to when attending a fair!
As a brazilian myself I need to thank Jamie for thinking that we could be described as "out there" There is no bigger compliment, you can all go home. He won
Finally a Finnish cuisine, and it's a 4 AM drunken street grill food :D This is literally *the* thing people eat when they are drunk off their minds crawling out of a bar. The egg joke is more rare and I think it pertains more to "Atomi", which is the lihapiirakka (meat pie) with either ham or egg in it, not sausage/wiener. Lihapiirakka by itself means just the pastry with the rice and beef/pork mince, this would be "Lihapiirakka nakilla", literally meat pie with wiener, and the question you get asked is always "With all toppings?" and the answer is almost always yes. So you get ketchup, mustard, relish, onion, sometimes a mayo or dried onions as well. Atomi and Vety (atom and hydrogen) are from the eastern side of Finland, specifically from Lappeenranta and they are the lihapiirakka with either ham or egg (Atomi), or with both (Vety).
Next I want to know how they explain Lörtsy as a street food. Or are they even able to say the word. Personally I have never eaten Finnish street foods because I have never been drunk - because all of our street food is made especially to drunk people. To someone who is sober - it's a bit too much.
It's the most perplexing foods that specifically Finns enjoy 😂 They had a Finnish holiday food before on some episode and it was lanttulaatikko (turnip casserole, for our non-Finnish speaking friends) 😂
@@judaswasametalheadwow i did not know that! i was going to say jordan, definitely reminded me of the middle east. i was thinking of the nomads or bedouins- when ben said travelers

@@shevahauser1780 There was some trades between the Roman republic/empire and the Chinese empire nearly 2500 years ago. Not much, but enough for some cultural spread along these silk road. Nowadays, the Ouïghours are a muslim turkish minority in the west of China and the CPC is blatantly trying to make them disappear.There is a word for this but YT doesn't like it
I think it would be awesome if you had Max Miller from Tasting History on! Cooking dishes from even further in the past (than the cookbook you all so love) would be an amazing episode!
As a Finn, was totally lost on the lihapiirakka until "with egg or without" until it hit me 😂 I just eat it with ketchup, some people like it with relish and mustard Korokke was a nice curveball, could've gone literally anywhere but the hints gave it away for me
I have never in all my years seen a lihapiirakka treated like that - but then again every time I've had one it's come straight out of a plastic wrapper...
Back in 1980', 1990' and 00' I get these from tiny grill kiosks. But I dont see these kiosks anymore anywhere. I dont think they are so common now a days. I like lihapiirakka with meat patty and fried egg, hämäläinen it was called. 😀
@@Dinariina Yeah exactly. Lihapiirakka like that, possibly even more loaded up were popular in the 90's as street food. Rare these days to see as street food. Ready made lihapiirakka are still popular, and cheap. Granted I could also live in my Helsinki bubble. I do like my Vety in Lappeenranta. Lihapiirakka with smoked ham and egg.
This is funny. I was literally eating some lihapiirakka as I started watching this. And it still took me some time to figure out what it was. The dough looked way better than store bought ones here in Finland.
After 5 seconds of seeing it, I got one out of the fridge, well a meatless one but anyway. Ate it cold as one does (with mustard, mayo, ketchup and, since I had it in the fridge, ranch dip).
Thank you for bringing attention to the Muslim community in China and specifically naming the the Xinjiang region. People overestimate how powerful a plate of food can be, but that dish is a very clear reminder that there is an entire people group, with traditions, history, culture, all of which cannot and should not be erased.
A note for Ben: it's tonKATSU sauce, named for tonkatsu, or deep fried pork cutlet. TonKOTSU is the creamy, pork based soup used in Hakata ramen. Also it's korokke (koh-roh-keh); I think you may have been thinking of karaage (kah-rah-ah-geh) when you pronounced it. Korokke is a type of karaage (fried food), but usually if you see karaage on a menu outside Japan it means fried chicken. Hope this is helpful info!
All great notes I also think special mention should also go to how the name reflects that french influence they mentioned. KOROKKE coming from Kuroketto or Croquette
"(kah-rah-ah-geh)" makes me literally cringe. English speakers should just learn how to pronounce vowels normally without needing to put an "h" when pronouncing a normal vowel, aka a monophthong. How hard is it? "Ka" English speaker; hmm... KEI! Also it wouldn't be pronounced like two syllables in the middle. It's just a drawn out vowel. "rah-ah" is very misleading.
@@minstorm Right... do you have the same reaction when Japanese people imperfectly pronounce English words using the sounds from their language? Either way seems weird to be overly worried about it. Also, it isn't just a drawn out vowel, the "Ah" sound is pronounced separately, it can sometimes sound like a drawn out vowel depending on the person.
Suomi mainittu! I've been waiting for Finland to featured in one of these episodes because since we are not very well known for our food culture, there is a plethora of unknown dishesh that are total curveballs. Lihapiirakka is definitely a classic after a long night out, I usually have mine without sausage but that's jus personal preference. I would also add that pickle relish is another very common filling people like.
Very glad that you covered Chuan'r (although the pronunciation is not exactly spot on lol)! China is a huge country with very diverse styles of cuisines, and a lot of them, particularly cuisines from ethnic minorities, are hugely different from what non-Chinese people associate with Chinese flavors. I would love to see a deep dive into some of the lesser known Chinese cuisines and dishes!
Fun fact about Langos: They are equally famous and eaten in Sweden. They are always sold during summer in markets. We tend to put a bit more ingredients on them though, mainly shrimp, red onion, fish roe. Another interesting thing is that the dish exists in an almost identical form among the nativ american population.
They are also very popular in Austria, although traditionally eaten without toppings, just the garlic oil. In Germany you geht them with a lot of topping options
I actually first discovered KWOOK a couple weeks ago and now two of my favourite food channels are collaborating!! Now let's see Jamie react to Kevin's review of the full English!!
I love how Ben said "traditionally on bamboo sticks" for the last dish and both guys went "North Africa" without realizing just how wrong that guess was. My own guess was Mongolia, but that was a very "I'm only hearing what I want to hear" type of guessing there :D
the bamboo sticks part made me think of asia, then the comment about nomadic people narrowed it down to china, mainly because he said it was the nomadic people within the country- I.E it sounded as if they werent the main group of people making up the demographics of the country like it would be in mongolia (im aware that they're sedentary-ish now and have had it in history aswell but y'know the mongolians were known for being nomadic not for their cities)
Native Americans did not make frybread as they do now. They did have a form of hard tack, but the frybread was borrowed from other cultures much later after white people nuked the natives' culture.
Lihapiirakka is amazing after a long night out, all that greasiness just hits the spot. Pickle relish is also a typical filling, at least in my neck of the woods.
well you can usually have it with or without the condiments or "mausteet"; Katchup mustard relish and onion. Most grills usually let you pick and choose which ones you want.
Lángos is also the perfect hangover food because of it's fattyness and because it's a dough, soaking up all the sugars. In Budapest you'll see a lot of street vendors or small booths near party districts, but in many other parts of town as well.
@@christinaamira1337 it's dead simple to make tbh. Tho there are different dough types. My grandma made it crunchy and hence that's my preferred one, but on the beaches they serve the fluffy kind. I'm pretty sure you can vuy all the ingredients you need :) It was originally a food made out of necessity so it does not require a lot of ingredients. Some recipes use boiled potatoes shredded into the dough, some recipes roll the individual disks out to let it puff I usually just let the dough puff up and then take a chunk out, flatten in my hand into a medium sized or smal disc and let it cook in oil.
In Germany you can find them at Christmas markets. They are awesome when it's cold outside and they warm you up from the inside. 😊 I hope I can visit Budapest some day so I can compare them. 😂
I was so confused on the lihapiirakka because of the little sausages since it's not a thing my family put in, and the ones you get from the store only have rice and meat filling. But they are extreeemely customizable so that is not wrong! Fun to see Finland in one of these, would love to see something like poronkäristys (thinly sliced reindeer meat stew) or karjalanpiirakka in this!
It's sad to see the old school grill-kiosk is such a rarity for so many nowadays. The traditional offerings of such kiosks are Plain, Sausage, 1 or 2 nakki or ham or egg. then mustard, ketchup relish and onion as toppings of your choosing. most only seem to know lihapiirakka as the quick microwave snack from the supermarket. Treat it more like a mix of burger and hotdog, and you're closer to the cultural roots of Lihapiirakka.
You can get microwave lihis with sausages from the grocery stores as well, at least the better equipped ones like cittari or prisma. HK at least makes one, lihis kahdella nakilla.
Langos is quite popular across Eastern Europe (Hungarian food in general is popular here). I'm Polish and I adore them - my favourite topping version is garlic, ketchup, cheese and pickles, it's so gooooood❤
It's amazing how many different ways you can eat it. In sweden where I'm from they often sell it with sour cream, red onion, shrimp and caviar (the less expensive kind).
I just had to watch this episode as fast as possible, as I recognized a Langos straigth away from the thumbnail. That was one of my favourite foods in Hungary when I went on vacation there. Great summers :D
The meat pie with sausage's intended use case is "waiting for a taxi after the pub at 2am". This is why the meat pie huts (or vans) are usually right by the taxi rank.
Maltese Pastizzi should be on this list. (Pea Cakes and Cheese Cakes). Mushy Peas in a flaky pastry. And ricotta cheese in a flaky pastry. They are absolutely golden and the team would love them!
I recognized the Lihis (Lihapiirakka) straight! Because I live in Finland. Is a "drunk" food sold mainly at street grills at hours after party, but some still enjoy it as a normal food. In my opinion you need to be drunk to even swallow that.
@@SortedFood I friend of mine eated Lihapiirakka's for lunch at University. Meat pie cut open, add thick sausage (HK Sininen) nuke at micro, eaten with generous amounts of mustand and ketchup.
I feel like Ebbers doesnt get enough love for his hosting skills! Always a pleasure, never a chore! Had to chuckle at the dish Kevin knew everything about too 😂 typical eh?
Lihapiirakka is just the pie. The filling is extremely personal to who's eating it. Some just put ketchup or mustard into it, some put sausage, bacon, eggs, all sorts of stuff in there. It's delicious.
Oh....I really really like Kevin what a treasure and so humble and down to earth, can't wait to see his burger challenge. Love this game so much, learning a lot while failing miserably in my guesses (sigh) 😁
Here in Sweden or at least where I live in the northen part. Langos is such a common streetfood too and I absolutly love it! The most popular way to have it here is with sourcream, cheese, onion and shrimp. So tasty!
As a hungarian who wants to move to northern Sweden and eats Lángos weekly (and love shrimp) this really makes me excited. One of the few food items that I thought I would really miss! :D
Growing up in Michigan, USA, of Hungarian descent, we often had Szalonna at family get-togethers. The way we enjoyed it was taking the hog jowl (szalonna) and roasting it over hot coals until dripping. Then, taking a slice of crusty white bread adding the drippings, then sliced vegetables ( onion, tomato, peppers), then more drippings over it all. It was amazing and I miss it!!
Lihapiirakka can be served in many ways and usually grills have their own specialty fillings but one thing constant is minced meat with rice. Stuffings can include wieners, baloney, pickled cucumber, fried egg, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, aioli, shrimps, mayo, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, kebab meat, cheese blue or edamer, meat patties etc. basically anything that the local customer base may want as a filling. There is also apple jam filled version that omits rice and minced meat and other condiments. Lihapiirakka has been around since at least the middle ages and was originally filled with root vegetables and such rather then minced meat and rice.
I like putting the guest into this game. It brings a different perspective into guessing the food origins. I'm happy to see Kevin on here - I just started watching his channel and really enjoy it.
Finnish guy here: I would like to give the disclaimer that for Lihapiirakka, the rice-meat filling is the "meat pie" part. The sausage, onion, even the condiments are all up to a person's preference. And usually street vendors and cafes do have it so you can pick and choose what you want, within their menu. Also super common in supermarkets as fridged goods. P.S. Ben, you pronounced that so wrong. Actually cracked me up so thank you. (Finnish is quite a 'flat' language, so the accents just don't exist.) Love from Finland.
Finally Finland gets some love in the food culture. I thought it was Lihapiirakka that they were eating but was like "Naah no way just something similiar" them Ben comes with the "wanna pay with egg" and im like aaaaaight its Finland. Althou offended that guest star over here called it Swedish first
i mean as a swede i do however get why he did it, we have a very connected history and to someone who knows neither language it might sound somewhat similar in pronounciation
THE RELIEF I felt in hearing the struggle of a British person pronouncing that damn Worcestershire sauce. From now on, for me, it will always be "wash your sister sauce". Thank you from Italy Jamie!
various meatpie dishes are often sold by grill kiosks to drunken people, as those tend to be open until quite late in the night and sometimes people just want something to eat after a night of drinking. there's a lot of variance what gets put into the meatpie besides its standard meat+rice filling, but you can pretty safely assume all Finnish grill kiosks will have some sort of big meatpie with various things stuffed inside of it, some meat, something green, sauces, sometimes an egg etc. i have also noticed that quite often these places have their big meatpie menu item named like "(someone's name) special", which i guess comes from the exact filling varying from place to place
The addition of sausages, mustard and onion is specifically a street version feature. You can also buy these readymade from stores and consume them without those additions, though a schlep of ketchup is often added.
Sausages, mustard, relish and a fried egg is how I like to eat mine when I can bother to make one "properly". Fried egg really rounds the mix of flavors together, imho. On hot/lazy days I buy cheap ones from store and eat them cold. I'm slightly disappointed they didn't serve one with egg & ham, could had confused boys even more by calling it atom or hydrogen :p
If your shirt is clean after eating lihapiirakka, either the lihis was lacking in the variety of fillings, or you were lacking in blood alcohol content.
the classic lihapiirakka has rice, beef, onion and sometimes carrot and is fully enclosed instead of being open. at first, i didn't realize that it's a lihapiirakka because it had hotdogs, also ebbers pronounced it better than i thought he would (the "R" was a bit weak)
Yeah, the pure version is closed one, but this is for the 4am drunken carvings, LIhis with Wiener, egg, ham, plenty of condiments .. Messy and oh so tasty.
Great Video, I love learning about all those Foods! You should add "Maultaschen" to the list! it's basically a giant ravioli from southern Germany. It was invented by Fasting Monchs who wanted to still eat meat. So they wraped it in noodles and vegetables, in the hopes God wouldn't notice. They called them Herrgottsbscheiserle, which literally translates to "Lord father foolers".
Oh, hey! I have the same bloodline as this wonderful man! And it looks like you guys nailed the Langos, which, weirdly enough, kinda confirms that the other dishes are basically as close as you could get them. And that's great! Genuinely love this channel and how much effort you folks put into every aspect of it. Also, this is, by far, my favorite series. It's just sooooo cool to see what people from around the world munch on. 'Cause you just know that street food is a ridiculously good metric of the history, both from long ago, or from very recent times. Just gives you a great way to get viscerally involved in a culture. Alsoalso, trust Finland to make something so strange but badass at the same time. Love those chaps!
Thank you for acknowledging Xinjiang and their unique and beautiful culture! Some of the best food available in China and needs to be recognized given the situation there ❤
Ben is back as a host! How I have missed the meme templates, the judgemental looks and the joy of learning. Happy Wednesday to the SORTEDFOOD HQ and the Community.
As someone living in the very city that takes pride being the 'home' of specific meatpies, I'm glad to see 'em! With local street vendors it's either ham slices(smoked or boiled), boiled egg, or both. Along with additional options of onion, ketchup, mustard and relish. And popular local bakeries make fresh pies every day so anyone can pick up a few and fill them as they like!
My makes korokke every once in a while (we're Korean). It's a hassle to make and deep fry but sooooooo good. I suggest everyone try it or make it themself. BTW like the many Asian words for bread (bang in Korean or pan in Japanese) coming from the French "pain", this comes from the French word croquette.
I called the Xinjiang lamb meat skewers (they're also called yang rou chuan, literally sheep-meat skewers) the moment Ben said "fennel and cumin"! Had some fantastic ones in Urumuqi, the capital of Xinjiang province. :3
Every province in China has their own distinct cuisine. Sichuan, Hunan, Fujian, etc. The TH-cam channel Chinese Cooking Demystified does an excellent job of showcasing dishes from around the country
@@jummeh that’s why it’s an introduction to the cuisine and not a deep dive. Because judging by that short they put out it’d be a good fun yet educational for the chefs and audience too, esp if they get into how the dish is cooked.
I have been watching you guys for years watching every episode you guys upload. I am Romanian and I have to say this has to be one of my favorite episodes because I'm excited that you guys finally meet a Romanian and try the cuisine.
Your videos are always my favorite guys and the inclusion of kevin made this one particulary great! You should invite him again for a battle!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Please comment guys!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've discovered this particular series within Sorted and loving it. I've also been loving Sorted and watching your great back log of videos. Cumin lamb is one of my favorite Chinese dishes if I can find it at restaurants that make it, just that right combo of spices with some heat.
Definetly would have guessed the first Finnish street food would have been karjalanpiirakka or karelian pie, but I suppose the meat pies are just classic :D
This put such a big smile on my face :) Long time supporter of both kevin and Sorted foods. Great to see my favourite content creators working with each other :)
YES!! Chinese bbq are commonly overlooked but it's actually sooooo popular all over the country. In the summer especially in northern china, city streets will be lined with "kao chuan" or bbq skewer places until 2am in the morning.
I love the fact that the availability of street food is much more prevalent in other countries around the world because England doesn’t really offer street food outside of a burger van here and there but there is no vendors that I’ve ever come across that cook and sell traditional English food. One of my favourite things about going on holiday is exploring the streets on market days and buying food from vendors who are selling dishes that are traditional to the country, it’s a great way to embrace the culture of the country by celebrating the local cuisine and its also a great feeling by supporting a small independent entrepreneur who appreciate your business more than a global chain do
I see Jamie is advertising Sorted's range of "Swinger wear" with the pineapple 🍍 shirt! Might be interesting to do an episode of food & symbolism sometime in the future? 😂
Lihapiirakka kahdella nakilla 🤣Didn't see that one coming, gave me a good chuckle. I usually eat my lihapiirakka with cheese, without the "hot dogs" (when in home) but it's a classic dish after a long night in a bar.
Wow, this was a first for me - I got every single one of them right! Never got anywhere near that before. 🎉 - I guessed Korea or Japan on the first one (okay, so halfway right), just ’cause that’s what it looked like. Though I nearly changed to Vietnam when he started talking about French influence! - I was quite shocked that Jamie didn’t know lángos (which I’m now craving). I’ve had that several times in the UK. - I happened to know lihapiirakat from when I’ve been to Finland, so I recognised that - And the look and spices on the skewers just looked so much like the 羊肉串儿 (lamb skewers) my flatmates used to get at the little Xinjiang restaurant close to my old flat in Beijing, so I just took a punt that that’s what it was.
I rarely enjoy the guests you bring on but Kevin is great! I was happy to see a face I recognized and follow on TikTok regularly 😁 Great ways to learn about food around the world!
Kevin seems like such a likeable person and just overall sweetheart and together with Jamie it's a brilliant combination! I've come acrosshis channel before and liked it, but will go check out some more of the content now. Thoroughly enjoyed this collab and can't wait to see the 10min burger challenge!
In college I studied abroad in Hungary and until the end of last year I taught English in Beijing. Naturally I've eaten more than my share of both langos and chuan. Love to see it.
Starting with my favourite japanese snack (luckily been there last month) and a staple food at every German medieval fair, the first two dishes played right into my palette
Was just gifted Kwoowk's cook book for Father's Day, very awesome read and such a great combination of cheap / healthy meals. Hadn't watched much of his stuff before, but enjoying him thoroughly and he works with the Sorted guys very well.
When I saw Korokke, my initial guess was Kroket (Netherlands). It's fascinating how various parts of the world can have similar types of food with different names.
Loving the "Place the Taste" segment! Just had a thought - how about switching up the scoring to be like golf? A bang-on guess could add zero points to your score (lower is better) and a way-off answer could add thousands based on how far out it is. Adds a bit more tension to the game and makes those precise guesses all the more clutch. Just a thought - keep up the great work!
I lived in China for a bit and knew immediately what this was. The vegan version there was made with mushrooms and was amazing. After hearing Jamie's comment about not excepting those flavors from China I thought it would be awesome to do a whole episode with different Chinese dishes from all over the country (fried tea and beans for example, tofu skin with tamarind mint and chilli- so many amazing regional cuisines)
I just want to add I had the pleasure of traveling to Xinjiang recently and it is a crazy part of China and an important leg on the ancient silk road. It's the desert people; lots of nomadics tribes up there in the mountains and borders with countries like Turkmenistan, Khazakstan etc. The best lamb I have ever had. So glad their food got a feature.
I'm familiar with both chuanr and croquettes so it's so interesting to see how people view them based solely off the taste and ingredients! I guessed Colombia for the Finnish dish because I didn't think you'd find rice in a street food dish in Europe! Very interesting.
"Lihapiirakka kahella nakilla, kaikki mausteet" or "Meat pie with two wieners, all spices" which usually includes ketchup, mustard, pickle relish and chopped onion, is a staple of the Finnish hot dog stand just like chips&fish is in the UK
Last time i was in NYC i had a very similar dish to the Langos but it was a Georgian dish in a Georgian restaurant. Pretty much the same energy. It was spectacular.
We do have fun in Switzerland but even with having lived in Finland a few months, I never heard of this dish :D but I remember them having some pretty odd snacks so I guess that makes sense :) great video guys!
I had such a blast guys. Thank you so much for having me and I can't wait to see you again!!!!

It's really popular here in Germany as a funfair food aswell. Mostly in the eastern parts but It's THE food I am always looking forward to when attending a fair!

@@mrsgunsoul But it looked too good to be real lanttulaatikko. It has to be ugly looking, mush to small atoms and taste partly like it's poison.
Finns don´t really eat lihapiirakka anymore after a night out. They usually go with poorly made and shit tasting kebab, unfortunately.
@@kheldaur2107Depends on where you live.😮
Smaller towns don't have kebab places unless it's from a pizzeria.

I 107th this.
As a Finn, was totally lost on the lihapiirakka until "with egg or without" until it hit me 😂
I just eat it with ketchup, some people like it with relish and mustard
Korokke was a nice curveball, could've gone literally anywhere but the hints gave it away for me
I have never in all my years seen a lihapiirakka treated like that - but then again every time I've had one it's come straight out of a plastic wrapper...
I saw it coming, this was number 1 street food after bar nights when I was younger😂
Back in 1980', 1990' and 00' I get these from tiny grill kiosks. But I dont see these kiosks anymore anywhere. I dont think they are so common now a days. I like lihapiirakka with meat patty and fried egg, hämäläinen it was called. 😀
@@Dinariina Yeah exactly. Lihapiirakka like that, possibly even more loaded up were popular in the 90's as street food. Rare these days to see as street food. Ready made lihapiirakka are still popular, and cheap. Granted I could also live in my Helsinki bubble. I do like my Vety in Lappeenranta. Lihapiirakka with smoked ham and egg.
Where do you guys live😅 I've eaten a lot of these, they're sold in every grocery store and very popular still in little grill shops
This is funny. I was literally eating some lihapiirakka as I started watching this. And it still took me some time to figure out what it was. The dough looked way better than store bought ones here in Finland.
That's a 5-point comment 😂
It's more Kuopio area style with the hard casing.
After 5 seconds of seeing it, I got one out of the fridge, well a meatless one but anyway. Ate it cold as one does (with mustard, mayo, ketchup and, since I had it in the fridge, ranch dip).
Thank you for bringing attention to the Muslim community in China and specifically naming the the Xinjiang region. People overestimate how powerful a plate of food can be, but that dish is a very clear reminder that there is an entire people group, with traditions, history, culture, all of which cannot and should not be erased.
I like how Kush did a whole lesson about the types of skewers and where they are commonly used and Jamie still got it wrong. Love it! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
They also completely missed that Ben said they're usually sold as bamboo skewers 😅
Any idea of how to find that episode? I’d like to learn that.
@@CreachterZ I think it's one of the shorts on their channel from about a week ago or 2 weeks ago
@@CreachterZ It was part of a video a few days ago, their monthly wrap up one.
Nomads, meat based, bamboo. Mongolia
A note for Ben: it's tonKATSU sauce, named for tonkatsu, or deep fried pork cutlet. TonKOTSU is the creamy, pork based soup used in Hakata ramen. Also it's korokke (koh-roh-keh); I think you may have been thinking of karaage (kah-rah-ah-geh) when you pronounced it. Korokke is a type of karaage (fried food), but usually if you see karaage on a menu outside Japan it means fried chicken. Hope this is helpful info!
All great notes I also think special mention should also go to how the name reflects that french influence they mentioned. KOROKKE coming from Kuroketto or Croquette
"(kah-rah-ah-geh)" makes me literally cringe. English speakers should just learn how to pronounce vowels normally without needing to put an "h" when pronouncing a normal vowel, aka a monophthong. How hard is it? "Ka" English speaker; hmm... KEI! Also it wouldn't be pronounced like two syllables in the middle. It's just a drawn out vowel. "rah-ah" is very misleading.
@@minstorm🙄
@@minstorm Right... do you have the same reaction when Japanese people imperfectly pronounce English words using the sounds from their language? Either way seems weird to be overly worried about it. Also, it isn't just a drawn out vowel, the "Ah" sound is pronounced separately, it can sometimes sound like a drawn out vowel depending on the person.
Suomi mainittu! I've been waiting for Finland to featured in one of these episodes because since we are not very well known for our food culture, there is a plethora of unknown dishesh that are total curveballs. Lihapiirakka is definitely a classic after a long night out, I usually have mine without sausage but that's jus personal preference. I would also add that pickle relish is another very common filling people like.
Torille! 🇫🇮
Very glad that you covered Chuan'r (although the pronunciation is not exactly spot on lol)! China is a huge country with very diverse styles of cuisines, and a lot of them, particularly cuisines from ethnic minorities, are hugely different from what non-Chinese people associate with Chinese flavors. I would love to see a deep dive into some of the lesser known Chinese cuisines and dishes!
Seeing those chuanr made me crave 炒面片… 🤤
I did have a giggle at the pronunciation - needs a northern Chinese accent on it.
Upon seeing them sat next to each other, it sort of feels like Kevin and Jamie are alternate universe versions of each other lol
Fun fact about Langos: They are equally famous and eaten in Sweden. They are always sold during summer in markets. We tend to put a bit more ingredients on them though, mainly shrimp, red onion, fish roe.
Another interesting thing is that the dish exists in an almost identical form among the nativ american population.
Fry bread tacos. ❤😊
They are also very popular in Austria, although traditionally eaten without toppings, just the garlic oil. In Germany you geht them with a lot of topping options
I actually first discovered KWOOK a couple weeks ago and now two of my favourite food channels are collaborating!! Now let's see Jamie react to Kevin's review of the full English!!
I love how Ben said "traditionally on bamboo sticks" for the last dish and both guys went "North Africa" without realizing just how wrong that guess was. My own guess was Mongolia, but that was a very "I'm only hearing what I want to hear" type of guessing there :D
I had the same guess !!
I had the same guess!
the bamboo sticks part made me think of asia, then the comment about nomadic people narrowed it down to china, mainly because he said it was the nomadic people within the country- I.E it sounded as if they werent the main group of people making up the demographics of the country like it would be in mongolia (im aware that they're sedentary-ish now and have had it in history aswell but y'know the mongolians were known for being nomadic not for their cities)
Y'all should look into native American fry bread tacos. I think it would be interesting for this format
Excellent suggestion
Native Americans did not make frybread as they do now. They did have a form of hard tack, but the frybread was borrowed from other cultures much later after white people nuked the natives' culture.
But it's not street food...
I clicked instantly when I saw the thumbnail, and yes, that pronounciation on "lángos" was correct! Love that it got featured on this show
Phew! Thanks for letting us know 😅
The Dutch kapsalon should definitely be in one of the next ones of these.
100%
As a German working in the Netherlands i hereby confirm this Statement on behalf of the country of Germany
Ik las deze voordat ik de video had gezien en ben het er mee eens. Al staan bitterballen daar wel naast
This also gets served in Belgium. I would think that a "broodje kroket" would be more in line with the Dutch culture. (croquette sandwich in english)
If they do it, they absolutely should feed it to Jaimie, I think he would love it based on what food he normally enjoys.
Kevin is a great guest, good vibes with Ben and Jamie.
Lihapiirakka is amazing after a long night out, all that greasiness just hits the spot. Pickle relish is also a typical filling, at least in my neck of the woods.
well you can usually have it with or without the condiments or "mausteet"; Katchup mustard relish and onion. Most grills usually let you pick and choose which ones you want.
@@LasOrvelozAnd that's the beauty of the dish😊
Lángos is also the perfect hangover food because of it's fattyness and because it's a dough, soaking up all the sugars.
In Budapest you'll see a lot of street vendors or small booths near party districts, but in many other parts of town as well.
Exactly. I loved when my mum made langos on sunday mornings. After a long saturday night 😂 I miss it so much since I live in London....
@@christinaamira1337 it's dead simple to make tbh. Tho there are different dough types. My grandma made it crunchy and hence that's my preferred one, but on the beaches they serve the fluffy kind. I'm pretty sure you can vuy all the ingredients you need :)
It was originally a food made out of necessity so it does not require a lot of ingredients.
Some recipes use boiled potatoes shredded into the dough, some recipes roll the individual disks out to let it puff
I usually just let the dough puff up and then take a chunk out, flatten in my hand into a medium sized or smal disc and let it cook in oil.
In Germany you can find them at Christmas markets. They are awesome when it's cold outside and they warm you up from the inside. 😊 I hope I can visit Budapest some day so I can compare them. 😂
Yeah I know how to make it. But just only for myself I won't do it😂
Gotta love Sorted for making us consistently hungry
Or Hungary...aka Langos dish.
I was so confused on the lihapiirakka because of the little sausages since it's not a thing my family put in, and the ones you get from the store only have rice and meat filling. But they are extreeemely customizable so that is not wrong! Fun to see Finland in one of these, would love to see something like poronkäristys (thinly sliced reindeer meat stew) or karjalanpiirakka in this!
It's sad to see the old school grill-kiosk is such a rarity for so many nowadays. The traditional offerings of such kiosks are Plain, Sausage, 1 or 2 nakki or ham or egg. then mustard, ketchup relish and onion as toppings of your choosing.
most only seem to know lihapiirakka as the quick microwave snack from the supermarket. Treat it more like a mix of burger and hotdog, and you're closer to the cultural roots of Lihapiirakka.
You can get microwave lihis with sausages from the grocery stores as well, at least the better equipped ones like cittari or prisma. HK at least makes one, lihis kahdella nakilla.
Langos is quite popular across Eastern Europe (Hungarian food in general is popular here). I'm Polish and I adore them - my favourite topping version is garlic, ketchup, cheese and pickles, it's so gooooood❤
It's amazing how many different ways you can eat it. In sweden where I'm from they often sell it with sour cream, red onion, shrimp and caviar (the less expensive kind).
Yeah, I was lucky enough to have a shop selling fresh langos on my way from school. So I enjoyed them quite often
I just had to watch this episode as fast as possible, as I recognized a Langos straigth away from the thumbnail. That was one of my favourite foods in Hungary when I went on vacation there. Great summers :D
The meat pie with sausage's intended use case is "waiting for a taxi after the pub at 2am". This is why the meat pie huts (or vans) are usually right by the taxi rank.
Maltese Pastizzi should be on this list. (Pea Cakes and Cheese Cakes). Mushy Peas in a flaky pastry. And ricotta cheese in a flaky pastry.
They are absolutely golden and the team would love them!
These episodes make me so hungry
I always save these to watch during my meals.😊
This collaboration is out of this world! You guys always bring the best guests!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I recognized the Lihis (Lihapiirakka) straight! Because I live in Finland. Is a "drunk" food sold mainly at street grills at hours after party, but some still enjoy it as a normal food. In my opinion you need to be drunk to even swallow that.
We'd definitely be very happy with that dish after a night out.
I only knew it because I spoke to a Finnish guy called Kaarija in Liverpool and he told me he loved it.
@@SortedFood I friend of mine eated Lihapiirakka's for lunch at University. Meat pie cut open, add thick sausage (HK Sininen) nuke at micro, eaten with generous amounts of mustand and ketchup.
@TProphGames A Finnish guy😊.....
You mean a Eurovision runner up😂
@@suzawilo very true!
I feel like Ebbers doesnt get enough love for his hosting skills! Always a pleasure, never a chore!
Had to chuckle at the dish Kevin knew everything about too 😂 typical eh?
Lihapiirakka is just the pie. The filling is extremely personal to who's eating it. Some just put ketchup or mustard into it, some put sausage, bacon, eggs, all sorts of stuff in there. It's delicious.
Oh....I really really like Kevin what a treasure and so humble and down to earth, can't wait to see his burger challenge. Love this game so much, learning a lot while failing miserably in my guesses (sigh) 😁
Lihapiirakka, or "lihis", as we call it, is best enjoyed after a night out drinking. It always hit's the spot.
Here in Sweden or at least where I live in the northen part. Langos is such a common streetfood too and I absolutly love it! The most popular way to have it here is with sourcream, cheese, onion and shrimp. So tasty!
As a hungarian who wants to move to northern Sweden and eats Lángos weekly (and love shrimp) this really makes me excited. One of the few food items that I thought I would really miss! :D
Growing up in Michigan, USA, of Hungarian descent, we often had Szalonna at family get-togethers. The way we enjoyed it was taking the hog jowl (szalonna) and roasting it over hot coals until dripping. Then, taking a slice of crusty white bread adding the drippings, then sliced vegetables ( onion, tomato, peppers), then more drippings over it all. It was amazing and I miss it!!
Grew up in CA with a Hungarian mom, we definitely did this over our campfires too 💕, but with Hungarian smoked bacon not jowl.
Lihapiirakka can be served in many ways and usually grills have their own specialty fillings but one thing constant is minced meat with rice. Stuffings can include wieners, baloney, pickled cucumber, fried egg, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, aioli, shrimps, mayo, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, kebab meat, cheese blue or edamer, meat patties etc. basically anything that the local customer base may want as a filling. There is also apple jam filled version that omits rice and minced meat and other condiments. Lihapiirakka has been around since at least the middle ages and was originally filled with root vegetables and such rather then minced meat and rice.
I like putting the guest into this game. It brings a different perspective into guessing the food origins. I'm happy to see Kevin on here - I just started watching his channel and really enjoy it.
Finnish guy here:
I would like to give the disclaimer that for Lihapiirakka, the rice-meat filling is the "meat pie" part. The sausage, onion, even the condiments are all up to a person's preference. And usually street vendors and cafes do have it so you can pick and choose what you want, within their menu. Also super common in supermarkets as fridged goods.
P.S.
Ben, you pronounced that so wrong. Actually cracked me up so thank you. (Finnish is quite a 'flat' language, so the accents just don't exist.)
Love from Finland.
I’ve never seen Kevin but he was such a fun addition to this video!
Finally Finland gets some love in the food culture. I thought it was Lihapiirakka that they were eating but was like "Naah no way just something similiar" them Ben comes with the "wanna pay with egg" and im like aaaaaight its Finland. Althou offended that guest star over here called it Swedish first
i mean as a swede i do however get why he did it, we have a very connected history and to someone who knows neither language it might sound somewhat similar in pronounciation
I love the new series name! Y'all totally need to rename this series!
Also poor Jamie, lol! That Hungary one, hahaha
THE RELIEF I felt in hearing the struggle of a British person pronouncing that damn Worcestershire sauce. From now on, for me, it will always be "wash your sister sauce". Thank you from Italy Jamie!
growing up in texas i was taught to say a very clear Worshta-sheer-shire sauce cuz we cover all our bases and say the end both ways lol
We normally just say it as "wusta" and ignore the shire
The Finnish dish sounded like a drunken creation.. 😂when you crave so many things so you combine it all in some bread
various meatpie dishes are often sold by grill kiosks to drunken people, as those tend to be open until quite late in the night and sometimes people just want something to eat after a night of drinking. there's a lot of variance what gets put into the meatpie besides its standard meat+rice filling, but you can pretty safely assume all Finnish grill kiosks will have some sort of big meatpie with various things stuffed inside of it, some meat, something green, sauces, sometimes an egg etc.
i have also noticed that quite often these places have their big meatpie menu item named like "(someone's name) special", which i guess comes from the exact filling varying from place to place
knowing finland it probably was lol
The addition of sausages, mustard and onion is specifically a street version feature. You can also buy these readymade from stores and consume them without those additions, though a schlep of ketchup is often added.
Sausages, mustard, relish and a fried egg is how I like to eat mine when I can bother to make one "properly". Fried egg really rounds the mix of flavors together, imho.
On hot/lazy days I buy cheap ones from store and eat them cold.
I'm slightly disappointed they didn't serve one with egg & ham, could had confused boys even more by calling it atom or hydrogen :p
If your shirt is clean after eating lihapiirakka, either the lihis was lacking in the variety of fillings, or you were lacking in blood alcohol content.
Thanks for a very nice video about tasting street food dishes from around the world 👍
the classic lihapiirakka has rice, beef, onion and sometimes carrot and is fully enclosed instead of being open. at first, i didn't realize that it's a lihapiirakka because it had hotdogs, also ebbers pronounced it better than i thought he would (the "R" was a bit weak)
Yeah, the pure version is closed one, but this is for the 4am drunken carvings, LIhis with Wiener, egg, ham, plenty of condiments .. Messy and oh so tasty.
Oh my God I just pressed play without really looking and nearly lost it when I saw the guest. Loved this! Please do more together, this was amazing.
"Wash your sister sauce." I am never going to be able to call Worcestershire sauce by any name other than that one ever again. Thank you.
Great Video, I love learning about all those Foods!
You should add "Maultaschen" to the list! it's basically a giant ravioli from southern Germany. It was invented by Fasting Monchs who wanted to still eat meat. So they wraped it in noodles and vegetables, in the hopes God wouldn't notice. They called them Herrgottsbscheiserle, which literally translates to "Lord father foolers".
Langos is still my favorite fair food! Every 'Kirmes' or Christmas market here in Germany has at least one stand. Absolutely delicious! ❤
Love playing along at home. Not tooting my own trumpet but I usually beat the guys!
Haha that's amazing Alex! 👏
@@SortedFoodShe's Best girl ❤❤❤❤❤
@@SortedFoodI got two spot on, feeling pretty proud of myself
Oh, hey! I have the same bloodline as this wonderful man! And it looks like you guys nailed the Langos, which, weirdly enough, kinda confirms that the other dishes are basically as close as you could get them. And that's great! Genuinely love this channel and how much effort you folks put into every aspect of it.
Also, this is, by far, my favorite series. It's just sooooo cool to see what people from around the world munch on. 'Cause you just know that street food is a ridiculously good metric of the history, both from long ago, or from very recent times. Just gives you a great way to get viscerally involved in a culture.
Alsoalso, trust Finland to make something so strange but badass at the same time. Love those chaps!
Thank you for acknowledging Xinjiang and their unique and beautiful culture! Some of the best food available in China and needs to be recognized given the situation there ❤
Ben is back as a host! How I have missed the meme templates, the judgemental looks and the joy of learning.
Happy Wednesday to the SORTEDFOOD HQ and the Community.
Damn you watch this channel too 😅
@@aditisk99Nice to see you too!
As someone living in the very city that takes pride being the 'home' of specific meatpies, I'm glad to see 'em!
With local street vendors it's either ham slices(smoked or boiled), boiled egg, or both. Along with additional options of onion, ketchup, mustard and relish.
And popular local bakeries make fresh pies every day so anyone can pick up a few and fill them as they like!
Would love to see a Halal Snack Pack for an Australian Dish
One of the best guests you'd had on the show, knowledgeable and funny. Loved this episode.
Kevin: “If we’re both wrong, we fight.”
Jamie: “Shall I get my duelling pistols or my sword?”
Kevin was such a great guest!!! Jamie is adorable as always ☺️
My makes korokke every once in a while (we're Korean). It's a hassle to make and deep fry but sooooooo good. I suggest everyone try it or make it themself. BTW like the many Asian words for bread (bang in Korean or pan in Japanese) coming from the French "pain", this comes from the French word croquette.
I called the Xinjiang lamb meat skewers (they're also called yang rou chuan, literally sheep-meat skewers) the moment Ben said "fennel and cumin"! Had some fantastic ones in Urumuqi, the capital of Xinjiang province. :3
I would love for Sorted crew to be introduced to Northern vs Southern Chinese cuisines, they’re just so different.
Every province in China has their own distinct cuisine. Sichuan, Hunan, Fujian, etc. The TH-cam channel Chinese Cooking Demystified does an excellent job of showcasing dishes from around the country
Yeah, well speaking of 'Chinese food' collectively is like say... let's go for European food.
@@jummeh that’s why it’s an introduction to the cuisine and not a deep dive. Because judging by that short they put out it’d be a good fun yet educational for the chefs and audience too, esp if they get into how the dish is cooked.
I have been watching you guys for years watching every episode you guys upload. I am Romanian and I have to say this has to be one of my favorite episodes because I'm excited that you guys finally meet a Romanian and try the cuisine.
Your videos are always my favorite guys and the inclusion of kevin made this one particulary great! You should invite him again for a battle!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Please comment guys!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've discovered this particular series within Sorted and loving it. I've also been loving Sorted and watching your great back log of videos. Cumin lamb is one of my favorite Chinese dishes if I can find it at restaurants that make it, just that right combo of spices with some heat.
Definetly would have guessed the first Finnish street food would have been karjalanpiirakka or karelian pie, but I suppose the meat pies are just classic :D
This put such a big smile on my face :) Long time supporter of both kevin and Sorted foods. Great to see my favourite content creators working with each other :)
YES!! Chinese bbq are commonly overlooked but it's actually sooooo popular all over the country. In the summer especially in northern china, city streets will be lined with "kao chuan" or bbq skewer places until 2am in the morning.
I love the fact that the availability of street food is much more prevalent in other countries around the world because England doesn’t really offer street food outside of a burger van here and there but there is no vendors that I’ve ever come across that cook and sell traditional English food. One of my favourite things about going on holiday is exploring the streets on market days and buying food from vendors who are selling dishes that are traditional to the country, it’s a great way to embrace the culture of the country by celebrating the local cuisine and its also a great feeling by supporting a small independent entrepreneur who appreciate your business more than a global chain do
I see Jamie is advertising Sorted's range of "Swinger wear" with the pineapple 🍍 shirt!
Might be interesting to do an episode of food & symbolism sometime in the future? 😂
I just recently binged all of Kevin’s videos, so it’s a joy to see him here on Sorted-especially on such a fun video concept ❤
Love this collaboration!!!
yh honestly was so surprised seeing him come on but Im all here for it
That's great to hear as we love it to!!!!
@@SortedFoodKnow i did!❤❤❤❤
Lihapiirakka kahdella nakilla 🤣Didn't see that one coming, gave me a good chuckle. I usually eat my lihapiirakka with cheese, without the "hot dogs" (when in home) but it's a classic dish after a long night in a bar.
Wow, this was a first for me - I got every single one of them right! Never got anywhere near that before. 🎉
- I guessed Korea or Japan on the first one (okay, so halfway right), just ’cause that’s what it looked like. Though I nearly changed to Vietnam when he started talking about French influence!
- I was quite shocked that Jamie didn’t know lángos (which I’m now craving). I’ve had that several times in the UK.
- I happened to know lihapiirakat from when I’ve been to Finland, so I recognised that
- And the look and spices on the skewers just looked so much like the 羊肉串儿 (lamb skewers) my flatmates used to get at the little Xinjiang restaurant close to my old flat in Beijing, so I just took a punt that that’s what it was.
Great video! Was sure one of them would get the last one with the "bamboo skewer" clue Ben casually dropped in.
Petition to see the name of the show be changed to ‘Place The Taste’ lol
It has a nice ring to it huh?
@@SortedFoodperfect!🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@SortedFood Yes, it does
I rarely enjoy the guests you bring on but Kevin is great! I was happy to see a face I recognized and follow on TikTok regularly 😁 Great ways to learn about food around the world!
I’ve never watched Kevin before but he is a delight 😊
Yeah I only recently found his videos too. He seems a nice chap, would be good to see him again on the show.
He's an awesome chap :)
@@SortedFoodhe truly is
Kevin seems like such a likeable person and just overall sweetheart and together with Jamie it's a brilliant combination! I've come acrosshis channel before and liked it, but will go check out some more of the content now. Thoroughly enjoyed this collab and can't wait to see the 10min burger challenge!
A fun idea for a game might be giving the normals the ingredients of a famous dish with no instructions and seeing what they come up with.
In college I studied abroad in Hungary and until the end of last year I taught English in Beijing. Naturally I've eaten more than my share of both langos and chuan. Love to see it.
You guys are awesome!

@@SortedFood🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊
Starting with my favourite japanese snack (luckily been there last month) and a staple food at every German medieval fair, the first two dishes played right into my palette
I do look forward to the next Burger Challenge. I wonder what Kevin has in store for us.
It's a great video!
Was just gifted Kwoowk's cook book for Father's Day, very awesome read and such a great combination of cheap / healthy meals. Hadn't watched much of his stuff before, but enjoying him thoroughly and he works with the Sorted guys very well.
When I saw Korokke, my initial guess was Kroket (Netherlands). It's fascinating how various parts of the world can have similar types of food with different names.
Loving the "Place the Taste" segment! Just had a thought - how about switching up the scoring to be like golf? A bang-on guess could add zero points to your score (lower is better) and a way-off answer could add thousands based on how far out it is. Adds a bit more tension to the game and makes those precise guesses all the more clutch. Just a thought - keep up the great work!
Love the Finnish Meat Pie. Never realized that you were to open them up and add more stuff. they are great by themselves with katsup
I lived in China for a bit and knew immediately what this was. The vegan version there was made with mushrooms and was amazing. After hearing Jamie's comment about not excepting those flavors from China I thought it would be awesome to do a whole episode with different Chinese dishes from all over the country (fried tea and beans for example, tofu skin with tamarind mint and chilli- so many amazing regional cuisines)
“But what you don’t know about me, is that I have Hungarian blood.” 8:13 A twist straight out of a novel.
I just want to add I had the pleasure of traveling to Xinjiang recently and it is a crazy part of China and an important leg on the ancient silk road. It's the desert people; lots of nomadics tribes up there in the mountains and borders with countries like Turkmenistan, Khazakstan etc. The best lamb I have ever had. So glad their food got a feature.
😂 as a finn, very happy. And i laughed so mutch. Thank you. 😁
You guys are one of a kind and you too Kevin! Love 💕❤️💕💕 both your channels!😊😊😊😊
I'm familiar with both chuanr and croquettes so it's so interesting to see how people view them based solely off the taste and ingredients! I guessed Colombia for the Finnish dish because I didn't think you'd find rice in a street food dish in Europe! Very interesting.
"Lihapiirakka kahella nakilla, kaikki mausteet" or "Meat pie with two wieners, all spices" which usually includes ketchup, mustard, pickle relish and chopped onion, is a staple of the Finnish hot dog stand just like chips&fish is in the UK
Last time i was in NYC i had a very similar dish to the Langos but it was a Georgian dish in a Georgian restaurant. Pretty much the same energy. It was spectacular.
We do have fun in Switzerland but even with having lived in Finland a few months, I never heard of this dish :D but I remember them having some pretty odd snacks so I guess that makes sense :) great video guys!
