That's the difference between having instructions and knowing what you're making versus having no instructions and no clue about what the end result is supposed to be. Also, no time crunch with what he was making.
Jamie: put beef in an oven and wait. Barry: put “meatballs” and sauce in a couple of pots and pans, organize other items. Mike: cook EVERYTHING Sri Lankan all at once.
So i was supposed to be taking my sister away for a few day at the end of January, after her chemo treatment but that is now not happening. We live 100 miles apart and i was wondering how we could still feel together. Now thinking a food kit each cooking together at the same time via zoom. SORTED
Such a lovey idea! Based on watching my BFF’s chemo journey, may I suggest you talk w/her about her anticipated energy level post-treatment (however many days after the actual day) before you decide on what kit to order? Something requiring standing over a stovetop for 15-20mins might be less ideal than one where more work can be done sitting down. Wishing your sister an smooth & quick recovery. ❤️
[Piggybacking on Laura's comment] Or, depending on how much strength your sister has post-chemo, maybe ordering 2 identical sets of goodies (preferably something neither of you have tried but sounds really good) and having your very own "Pretentious or Not" episode might be another option. Less work but still something Done Together.
Ben telling me exactly, and in great detail, how to plant artisanal produce would be amazing. I fear it's a 15 hour course with detailed notes, though.
@@Cranberrycheesecake1 that and the significant expense of many of the kits, but nice as a rare treat. I do wish we had these in Australia though I am SO GLAD we don’t have such ginormous virus numbers that really stimulates restraints to offer such alternatives to dining in. We are Super fortunate in Australia as far as the shi$&ing virus is concerned.
@@xavierrobinson9126 well spice can be stored for a very, very long time and u would prob need to do the sauces yourself, so with that u do as much as u need
I'm Indian and I can't believe how much I've been missing out on with Sri Lankan food despite their being our neighbours! Thanks for the window in, guys!
Yeah, it's very distinct ^^ And it varies much from Tamil and SInhala regions ;) Here these are all renditions of traditional srilankan-tamil dishes ;)
That's how we judge whether the children in the family are allowed to order their own meal...has anyone seen them happy dance a dish yet? No, then they're not approved yet. 😂
I love it when meateaters don't just ridicule a vegetarian option, but give their honest opinion and acknowledge that it can be really good. Thanks lads :)
@@dh1380 I see how my words could be interpreted like I think that way but I don't, I promise haha. Personally, as a veggie, I have just experienced quite a lot of animosity from friends and family and I wanted tot compliment these guys.
Without a doubt! While I do tend to live more of an omnivorous lifestyle, I absolutely love trying vegetarian and vegan dishes because they’re often very pleasant and well thought out ❤️ People often forget being vegetarian isn’t just taking a bite out of a block of raw tofu (although admittedly I like the taste of raw tofu and will eat silken tofu with a bit of soy sauce and chili oil 👀) - it’s its own culinary style.
@@annabellacaramella i mostly preface most of that stuff with "yeah sorry bout this. But due to gout or some other sickness. I can't eat meat. If it's alright with you, I'll bring my own food"
I need those ribs, and also these questions answered. 1. Where's James? 2. Who punched Jamie on the nose? 3. Has Mike learned Ben's valuable lesson of, " Clear as you go"?
I am so glad that the western world is discovering the joys of ingredients like jackfruit and soya beans as sort of meat substitutes. We have been using those in curries and different dishes for years only nobody here really thinks of them as meat substitute but just another vegetable to cook with.
Me too! I love actually knowing how to cook them as regular ingredients in my dishes, now. :3 Just thought I would say that, since the other white guy (guessing... and pretty sure I'm right) that commented is just commenting to be oppositional for the sake of being oppositional. 😅
@Bois82 Indian Cuisine is vast in variety, of which you perhaps know only a few (most prominently north Indian) Not all regional Indian cuisine "smother things in spices" to mask the flavours of the main ingredient.
I was glad to see my country’s food featured in the show. Kalupol means blackened coconut, and I was glad to see you guys try the amazing flavours of Sri Lanka. As Mike correctly pointed, most Sri Lankan dishes don’t look so appealing to Western eyes. But the flavours are superb. You just have to try it once to realise that. 🙂
Hey so just to clarify, do you call that bread roti in SL? We'd call them porrotta in southern India...and googling Srilankan roti seem to come up with a different bread involving coconut? Or is 'roti' just a general term meaning bread for you guys as well?
We dont really call it roti, we call it paratha too. Our roti is more the coconut roti (pol roti) you would find. But I think for ease of use South Asian flat breads get called roti as an umbrella term outside of the sub continent.
@@rahulr1305 I'm sri lankan British (maybe I'm not qualified I have been to Sri Lanka like 3 times 🤣) and tbh idk. If we make roti at home it's the way u guys would think of it. But if we were to buy it (at least in the UK) it's always like that
@@rahulr1305 so the kind that we usually refer to as roti has coconut in it, but the ones used for kottu is called godamba roti. It's very similar to a parata :)
These boys are doing the most for small businesses and for all of us stuck at home. Can't even begin to explain how much I appreciate these videos, and the canned food/budget meals type videos too
As a Sri Lankan it always makes me super happy to see my culture represented thateal pack was a great insight into our culture can't say I've ever been to an event without some rolls , kind of sad they didn't try my favourite snack mixture on camera though
I’ve been watching for about 7 years now I think and I just wanted to point out how mindful y’all have become about what you use has on the environment. Mike reusing the marrow tin foil for the chicken is so small and idk why that’s what made me come to the realization and write out this rambling comment but yeah love and appreciate you guys!
15:33 what Mike is saying here is how I felt cooking my first sidekick recipe, all of that knowledge and cheffy preparedness allowed me to make something much better than I usually would, first try!
As someone with a dietary requirement (Coeliacs), I would love to see you do one of these with food kits/boxes designed for those with different dietary requirements whether through health, religion etc.
When I shared flat as a student. We used to take 2 big packs of sev and add chopped onions, tomatoes, green chillies, coriander and lemon(zest and juice). It is a lovely evening snack.
Is this history here? Is this the first time the normals ever cooked without either chef on camera supervising??? I feel like there might have been once for a doctor who themed party but I can't remember if James was around... But look at them, scrambling eggs and not burning down the kitchen. So proud of them
Happy New Year, guys!! I’m vicariously having great culinary experiences through you, since neither of those cuisines are available in my country, nor do we have the “restaurant in a box” option. Enjoy that delicious food and keep sharing it with us, mere mortals.
I genuinely wish I knew about these DIY restaurant kits during lockdown for 2 main reasons, firstly it was brilliant that people could support businesses, particularly small ones, so they could survive unprecedented times, but secondly because takeaways are a unique and special experience that we were deprived of but having all the ingredients coming to your door making it remarkably simple to create an amazing meal was a unique experience!
In regards to the plastic containers - can you clean them in the dishwasher and make sure they have matching lids, and take them to your local Sallies or food shelter or similar - very useful for providing food for people to take with them without the shelter having to buy excess ones.
At least with the one Mike reviewed, it all looks reusable. But yeah, I'd never order these with the horrible ammounts of plastic waste that's involved with them.
@@oliverspence9450 wow that’s a seriously rude comment thanks for that. Of course recycling exists but it also makes more sense to not create so much stuff that needs recycling to begin with.
Just 100 companies in the world create 71% of global emissions. I don't think, in the grand scheme of things, the impact of the plastic waste for a once-in-a-while treat like this is very harmful. Meanwhile, the support might mean everything to a restaurant and/or small business during a pandemic.
thank you for mentioning the plastic, even though you've acknowledged it before, it's still worth recognising. And the points you've made about restaurants still needing to turn a profit, and tackling one problem at a time, are very enlightening. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I'm in a very intense period of my exams for my final year of Uni and this is the perfect procrastination! And its inspiring me to get buying more DIY food kits!
Try the Boojum meal kit!! It’s a very popular Mexican burrito restaurant in Ireland and NI and they deliver to mainland U.K. Best burritos EVER and relatively cheap as it’s mostly students who eat there.
I love how you guys utilise our favourite Chef/Normal Review series to let people know that DIY kit is an option that a lot of us may not be aware of during lockdown. You are not only encouraging people to cook but also to keep supporting our local restaurants around the world!
The “meat balls” can also be made with minced soya bean, red kidney beans and seasoning. Sri Lankan food is often extremely spicy 🌶 that’ll burn going in and coming out.
The Sri Lanka kit was phenomenal. Even if I think as a person living alone, if it doesn't go bad in that time, that's like a month worth of food for 75 pounds... That's crazy!
I actually don’t mind all the plastic packaging because it looks like it’s high enough quality to be reused. Plastic isn’t the problem. Single-use plastic is.
This channel is so wholesome! People being excited about cooking food, eating said food, options for veggies too, and the community is absolutely wonderful!! Have the best day to absolutely everyone :D
Hey Sorted Team, I am from Sri Lanka and I am over the moon to see you guys trying out the local cuisine. Top Tip, the Koththu is a staple for everyone at 2am after a night of bar hopping and String Hoppers are a breakfast staple! Love you guys! Keep at it and I’ll keep watching.
Honestly Hopper London is the only I have seen from all the reviews that you’ve all done on the channel that actually looks bloody worth it. There’s so much in the pack and that’s amazing!! So much attention to detail too! Also, I was really inspired with Barry’s triangle cucumber raita. I thought it was really clever so thank you Barry
I’m SriLankan and seeing you guys try SriLankan cuisines has made me so happy. BTW plz try some more of our cuisines. We have fantastic yet different stuff from different areas.
It may be more plastic, but it essentially eliminates food waste You can also use the containers to bring the food to work (if you are able to work) or to other people! There was a kitchen here in Ottawa (Canada) where they cooked food for up to 500 people a day, for free mind you, during the first lockdown and dropped it off for anyone who needed it.
That bone marrow curry with Roti looks so fancy & delicious ...we call it Roti Prata in Malaysia / Singapore and normally just have it with mutton, fish, chicken or dhal curry ... sometimes with sambal too
@@sophiechilliful the kind that they used in this video looks like the paratha* (roti prata in singapore) so idk what the parotta then ---should be the same thing, different names in diff cultures
@@lelurve guide.michelin.com/en/article/features/guide-to-indian-breads#:~:text=It%20is%20often%20confused%20with,has%20a%20higher%20gluten%20percentage. Since they're eating Sri lankan food, it would be more apt to call it parotta.
On the topic of plastics. Most takeaway boxes are PP5 (they have the triangle symbol with a 5 in the middle). In London these are recycled by the vast majority of councils as standard. Whilst reuse and reduce is better, recycling is still an option!
I am not into kitchen gadgets or pretentious ingredients. But guys, you make these videos so fun I could watch them all day every day :D Keep the great work up! Sending the whole team the best wishes for the new year!
SriLanken Canadian here. That package nailed all of the guilty pleasures, great package. All my friends love all of those. Also Mikey pronounced Kothoo Roti. Nice work!
Mike during 10 minutes of a “pass it on”:full Huttlestorm
Mike making 4 dishes simultaneously: Chill AF
Haha, he was very calm and collected. The instructions were very clear TBF.
@@SortedFood Instructions make ALL the difference :D
I also enjoyed Mike's ease with the cornucopia of indgredients and dishes. Well done!
That's the difference between having instructions and knowing what you're making versus having no instructions and no clue about what the end result is supposed to be. Also, no time crunch with what he was making.
The time crunch and simultaneous management of different things at once really reduce this man to a pile of anxiety
Jamie: put beef in an oven and wait.
Barry: put “meatballs” and sauce in a couple of pots and pans, organize other items.
Mike: cook EVERYTHING Sri Lankan all at once.
Mike single handedly bringing granny cardigans back in vogue
You know it! 😉

Don't know how vogue it is, but he definitely rocks it shamelessly. He's full on embraced the granny sweater!

Oh, that's such a great idea, I'd love to see that
Maybe mention it on his Twitter?
I think he posts it on his IG daily, plus you can find a few videos here and there on yt. All the best!
Ben telling me exactly, and in great detail, how to plant artisanal produce would be amazing. I fear it's a 15 hour course with detailed notes, though.
2 ways. Either get a wheelbarrow like Ben or get the High tech herb grower they reviewed
These meal kits have the merit of bringing dishes that we normally wouldn’t choose to our kitchen with a relatively low risks.
And with low food waste too - I might not use a full packet of spice x or sauce b. Great way to test for your palate!
the only down side would be the massive amounts of plastic, but otherwise its fun to do and nice to try.

The energy of these 3 together without supervision
“If it wasn’t for you, I would be a pro chef by now!” ~ Barry 2021
Tbh, with that amount of ridicule and bullying? Yeah. Joke or not, hearing your friends constantly shit on you can't be good for you
Hey Sorted Team,
I am from Sri Lanka and I am over the moon to see you guys trying out the local cuisine. Top Tip, the Koththu is a staple for everyone at 2am after a night of bar hopping and String Hoppers are a breakfast staple! Love you guys! Keep at it and I’ll keep watching.
i miss the "normal" food battles
Me too!!!:(
Honestly Hopper London is the only I have seen from all the reviews that you’ve all done on the channel that actually looks bloody worth it. There’s so much in the pack and that’s amazing!! So much attention to detail too! Also, I was really inspired with Barry’s triangle cucumber raita. I thought it was really clever so thank you Barry
I was just thinking I would really love a Sorted upload.... and what do you know!
Always here to deliver!
I watch these with my 7 month old baby and every time Jamie is on he laughs. I think my baby is in love with Jamie 💘
Barry being reminded what a brilliant amateur chef he is. Well played 😂
I’m SriLankan and seeing you guys try SriLankan cuisines has made me so happy. BTW plz try some more of our cuisines. We have fantastic yet different stuff from different areas.
Barry : It's going to be a good year people
2021 : And so, I took that personally...
My favourite is Mike's kit because of the variety, you are getting a lot for your money and you learn a lot as well.
I do like these kit/appliance/pretentious etc videos but I hope we get a bit more in the way of recipe videos this year.
Same
Me too
It may be more plastic, but it essentially eliminates food waste
You can also use the containers to bring the food to work (if you are able to work) or to other people!
There was a kitchen here in Ottawa (Canada) where they cooked food for up to 500 people a day, for free mind you, during the first lockdown and dropped it off for anyone who needed it.
Jamie: that bone marrow has the texture of my dreams
Me: so...I have a few questions...
These restaurant meal kits are my new favorite series of videos!! More please!
wow barry: "if it wasn't for you, i'd be a pro chef by now." LOL
That bone marrow curry with Roti looks so fancy & delicious ...we call it Roti Prata in Malaysia / Singapore and normally just have it with mutton, fish, chicken or dhal curry ... sometimes with sambal too
It was actually incredible! Ooooooh Roti Prata sounds great.
The "roti" is flaky like a croissant because it's a porotta, not roti.
paratha*
@@lelurve paratha and parotta are different.
@@sophiechilliful the kind that they used in this video looks like the paratha* (roti prata in singapore) so idk what the parotta then ---should be the same thing, different names in diff cultures
@@lelurve guide.michelin.com/en/article/features/guide-to-indian-breads#:~:text=It%20is%20often%20confused%20with,has%20a%20higher%20gluten%20percentage.
Since they're eating Sri lankan food, it would be more apt to call it parotta.
On the topic of plastics. Most takeaway boxes are PP5 (they have the triangle symbol with a 5 in the middle). In London these are recycled by the vast majority of councils as standard. Whilst reuse and reduce is better, recycling is still an option!
Mike:
"But wait..."
"THERE'S MORE!"
I am not into kitchen gadgets or pretentious ingredients. But guys, you make these videos so fun I could watch them all day every day :D
Keep the great work up! Sending the whole team the best wishes for the new year!
Is jamie cosplaying Rudolf the reindeer with that red nose :)
I was guessing it's chilly in there for some reason
SriLanken Canadian here. That package nailed all of the guilty pleasures, great package. All my friends love all of those. Also Mikey pronounced Kothoo Roti. Nice work!
