I am a Finn who has a Kenyan girlfriend. And we have found out that both our countries have almost the same street food. In Finland we have muikku (vendace), tiny freshwater whitefish that are put in rye flour, deepfried and served with smashed potatoes and sour cream or garlic sauce. In Kenya they have similar tiny fish, which is fished on lake Victoria called omena. It is also deep fried and then served with chili and lemon. I have never had fresh deep fried omena yet, but my girlfriend says they and muikku taste extremely similar deep fried. It would be funny to have both of those in the same episode. Almost the same dish, but from totally different parts of the world. You could probably use the same fish too, which ever is available, because it apparently makes very little difference.😅
As an Irish person I was so proud to see the Spice Bag arrive. You should try the Chicken Fillet Roll next as it is the true Irish delicacy (lol) and Brits I know living here are obsessed with it!
Gentlemen, my mom passed away 4 days ago and today was the funeral. I happened to have found your channel a year ago when I was in the hospital. At any rate you guys showed up at the right time and have a wonderful channel going. Thanks for the laughs.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you've found some content that gives you relief for a bit and allow you to smile and breathe. Take care and listen, as much as possible, to what your mind and body tell you they need. That is true always but even more so during such a sensitive and difficult time.
I'm so sorry for your loss... hopefully, you have a good support system to help you through this incredibly hard time. Please know you are not alone. My sincere condolences.
@@SortedFoodand both Jamie and Ben seem to be just as fanatical at playing the game as my family and I usually are. According to our former nanny, none of use would go to bed unless we had beaten the others at least once. 😂
Every time this comes up I'm having an internal debate about this rule. On the one hand I think measuring from the center of the mainland on the country is just wrong like in this case with Hawaii, but on the other hand, if that was not the case I would always pick France if I was in doubt 😂
@@goldenghostinca completely dumb example was them guessing Pakistan and Nepal while the correct answer was Yemen and they pretended it's a super close decision. No, it wasn't. Same here. Fiji is obviously a much better answer in every way
A Canadian Here, I'd like to suggest Beaver Tails: deep fried dough in a long flat shape, covered in ingredients. I recommend either Nutella and banana/strawberry OR you can go really wild and stick a handful of poutine on one and fold it like a soft taco. (There is no way to really offend anyone with toppings for this. Go wild. )
As someone from denmark my personal reaction was closer to "Ah yeah those crazy copenhagen people might have made a bastardized hotdog like that" but turns out that once again it was sweden.
As mentioned previously, and on Twitter. Thank you guys and girls of Sorted for keeping me smiling and entertained through one of the hardest periods of my life, right now. I've been in and out of Hospital the last 2 months owing to a huge, almost fatal, infection and am struggling with a recent Type 1 Diabetic diagnosis. (I'm 35, so it has really shaken me up) I'd actually be very interested in you guys doing an episode on a variety of Dietary requirements for those with medical conditions such as Diabetes and maybe some simple tips or dishes/recipes to cook. Keep up the great work everyone! Loving the Antique gadget videos

You served tunnbrödsrulle with, what i Sweden, is called Bostongurka (Boston cucumber). Traditionally it is served with shrimpsallad (a mix of shrimp and mayonnaise). It is very common to eat after a night out when you need fat, carbs and something filling.
@@timothycorder6089 they could do an episode with all very different foods all from the US. Even our fast food joints are different depending on where you are!
Yeah, they definitely should have measured it from Hawaii since that's where the dish was from and Ben was pretty close with Fiji since they're both pacific islands and have similar cultures and history (basically).
Between watching you guys and Rhett and Link play International Foods, I got two right, Hawaii and Ireland. You have all taught me so much about world geography as well. Thank you, love your channel.
Same, I was also close on the hotdog thing but I couldn't remember which Nordic country. Food based geography is the best geography. I'd love to see a Rhett & Link crossover.
I've been waiting for the Tunnbrödsrullen to be on this show. It's an epic "Drunk food" meal, you take when going home from a night out. Every burger shack have them. You missed one key ingredient. Räksallad - Shrip sallad. Not at all like a salad, it's more like a shrimp cocktail.
I felt so proud of recognizing the Hawiian dish, even though it is a part of my country. American cuisine is just so vast and varied you don't always know a style of cuisine exists unless you've traveled or gone out of your way to learn about local cuisines. I spend a lot of time learning about cuisine as a hobby and I'm still learning about the variety my country has to offer.
Having Ebbers play against a normal is like beating a puppy with a flaming hockey stick. The only thing holding Ben back is that he'd traveled so much that he can't exactly remember everything. I'd like to see Ben and Kush, or some other chef duke it out, might be a bit more even then.
I love how your become blind of your own country traditions. When I watched number 3 i was thinking "That looks just like a Tunnbrödsrulle, wonder what seperates the two" until it hit me...
I’ve never been to Ireland but recognised it as a spice bag immediately, always wanted one and this looked bloody banging. Well jealous of the Irish getting this regularly.
You can totally throw them a curveball with this Singapore street food that was super popular amongst students in the early 2000s! Food name: Prata wrap 1) Put a frozen prata skin (indian) on a non stick pan, 2) Flip it once you see it turn translucent and able to skit around the pan, 3) Add boiled or pan fried sausage (japanese sausage or any thick sausage of your choice), shredded lettuce, a little thousand island and chili sauce (heinz would work but we prefer maggi brand) 4) roll the whole thing up into a delicious prata wrap! Definitely delicious and will definitely throw anyone off they’ll never guess it’s from Singapore! 😂
I’ve heard of another Swedish dish, which is just absolutely insane: Cal-skrove. It’s basically a burger inside a calzone pizza. It might not originate from here, but I’ve heard of it a lot around where I live (northern part of Sweden). Variants of this monstrosity include fries in the calzone as well. I think the surprise from the contestants when they cut into it could be just absolutely golden.
I know stereotypes play a big role in how people perceive other organisms and items and Jamie has earned himself the stereotype of being the loud, overconfident joker of the group who can’t be taken seriously because his stereotypical character doesn’t fit that perception, but it has gone incredibly overlooked just how expansive and informed his knowledge has gotten over the years where he can easily make reasoned answers from his pre-existing knowledge! He picks out individual ingredients, tastes, spices or cooking techniques in these challenges and relates it to something he already knows to make an educated response rather than just random stabs in the dark that have no explanation! Fair play Jamie you should get a lot more recognition and appreciation for this and being really analytical, as a character he’s always been like this, but in the past he played up more to the joker role rather than showing the other 90% of his personality that he can offer
Delighted to see spice bags getting recognition they deserve! 😂 I do wish that you would do a video on how to actually make everything though! I'd love a go at doing those sandwiches
I reckon you guys should have the boys try "Bánh tráng trộn" - a really famous Vietnamese street food where you cut up rice papers into strips and add seasonings, dry (pepper, shrimp salt, chilli flakes, fried garlic, fried, chilli salt, herbs, quail eggs, peanuts, marinated jerky) and wet (jerky marinated water, chilli oil, calamansi juice) and mix them all up. There's also a variation where you just mix the rice paper with fried garlic, lots of scallion oil, and pork cracklings, which is my fave. In hindsight that might have been too many rare ingredients but if anyone can pull it off in this format, it's you guys.
seeing you guys talk about bread pakora as a deep fried sandwich was such a fun way to see a snack i know so well but in a completely new way!! love seeing you guys experience what i grew up on, its like watching my friends try indian food ive brought to them
The idea behind the bread pakora reminds me of my ex. We had a nice big farmhouse & entertained every weekend. One of the things to entertain was the massive Sunday breakfasts; we turned them up to 11. Her addition was turning her already awesome Bombay Potatoes into Sautéed Bombay Potatoes as well as Bombay Hash Browns. 😋
Everytime Jaime sees a dish, that little giggle he makes, makes me think of Twilight. Michael Sheen as Aro when he laughs. It's so unsettling, but hilarious at the same time.
Ben has all the cash to travel the world with the culinary background to remember everything he’s ever eaten. Like putting an Olympian in with an elementary school team.
i knew tunnbrödsrulle IMMEDIATELY!! so excited to recognize it. one of my friends is swedish and explained it to me a while back - i've always wanted to try 'n make it, but i don't just have barley flour sitting around to make tunnbröd. but this has reinvigorated and inspired me to get some and try it out!
You need to have Josh, Olly, and/or Gabi from Korean Englishman and Jolly on a Street Food Episode. With how much they've traveled, it would be interesting if they would have picked up on any of the street food.
I’m so happy to see Chef vs Normal battling it out with this guessing game. Also, happy to see the comeback of glasses over blindfold by the Spaff. Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the community!
Tunnbrödsrulle is the second best food invention ever, only second to Smörgårdsbord ;) the roll is a real midnight after the pub favourite, best is with shrimpsalad (the gooey kind) and fried onions.. top notch
A South African here! I'd like to suggest Kota: made from a hollowed out quarter loaf of bread and filled with a variety of ingredients, often potato "slap" chips, sausage, egg, beef patty, cheese, polony and atchar.
The only one I got right was Hawaii. The pineapple, soy sauce, ketchup and not really spicey tipped me off. I watch some foodie guys in Japan, one lived in Hawaii for a while and talked about the melding of Asian and American flavours there.
A young man who's family moved to our area from Hawaii made hulihuli chicken for our drama club a few years ago. I knew it was Hawaii but I hardly ever figure out the others lol His folks missed that chicken so much they build a rotating cooker that could hold up to 15 or so chickens at a time. Last I heard their family moved again. Dad's job had him traveling everywhere. But our kids in the club loved it. It wasn't spicy but they had several sauces that they served on the side. One I think was Japanese bulldog and then the bright red sweet chili sauce and a savory peanut sauce. The guys only missed out on the macaroni salad and white rice they used to serve as sides. 😊
Please add a pie iron to your next antique tool list. They are a fairly common camping gear item in the states and make the most amazing panini sandwiches cooked over a campfire. They also can be used to make campfire pies. 😋
Love the joy in Jamie from seeing the dishes! All of it looks so amazing!! Have you guys tried tanghulu yet?! It's one of my favorite snacks- so good!!
I'm seeing a trip to Hawai'i in your future. Hawai'i has some wonderfully fused cuisine from all over the world. As soon as I heard the ingredients in that dish, I knew it was from Hawai'i.
The Chinese bag reminds me of nacho fries here in the US. Basically just nachos but using French fries instead. There's also some Mediterranean restaurants doing it with fries and shawarma. So delicious
Here are a couple suggestions (that might take a bit of work, but are *delicious*!) From China: Shandong-style jian bing (must be Shandong style, not lao Beijing style!). Liang pi. Rou jia mo. These are staple breakfast (jian bing) and lunch street-food dishes in the large east-coast areas of China. They are what I miss most.
In New Zealand we have a simple, seasonal delicacy known as 'whitebait patties/fritters' - tiny transparent fish (around 50 per fritter) bound together with egg & flour, pan fried in butter, served with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt - heavenly!
Been waiting/hoping for Spice Bag to come up on this for ages! The ones I normally get don't come with rice, and curry sauce is an optional extra, but that one looked fantastic!
The dads need to make the thinbread rolls for their kids. They are going to LOVE it. That was the best bit of any snow sport excursion we had in school. The thinbread rolled around mashed potatoes and hotdogs.
I’m from Hawaii and I was so happy to see Huli Huli chicken!!! Growing up my family and I would pick up Huli Huli chicken from a specific parking lot coming home from the beach. So many fond memories around this dish 🥹
If you want a different, maybe not exactly street food but nearly, from Sweden for a different episode I’d recommend the landgång. The landgång, at least the version of it that you find on the west coast of Sweden, is usually bread covered in a shrimp mix called skagenröra, langoustine tails, smoked salmon, salad, dill, and a few other things that can differ from place to place. It would be fun to see Ben’s reaction to this dish as well as the normals. This dish is quite popular in coastal towns like Smögen in Sweden which are tourist hotspots during the summer
Wow wow! What an episode! I'm excited to say that I guessed the Huli Huli, since it has become a popular dish in my house over the last few years (all the way in Georgia, US)! I start with whole birds, spatchcocked, dry rub, 2 hours on the smoker, and then the high heat turning on the grill with homemade Huli Huli sauce. It's so fun to make, and delicious! And I do it on the same grill Jamie uses! His showcase of his Masterbuilt smoker/grill last year made me buy one! You guys are the best!
Street food rec vvv Old fashioned Chinese street treat - tang hu lu Also found in Taiwan, and later popular in Korea also Candied fruits on a stick basically, traditionally red hawthorn berries, but now available with a variety of fruits. Long time ago, vendors would stick the bottom of the tanghulu sticks in a straw bundle basically, and carry the bundle (vertical) walking in the streets to sell them; I suppose it's because the candied sugar is sticky. A small simple treat, that can be sold while on the move, makes total sense as a street food~
Great idea! A whole episode just on barbecue- Kansas City style, Texas style, North Carolina vinegar sauce or South Carolina mustard sauce, and so many more besides.
Here's another one from Sweden, Halv Special!(Half Special) Its a regional food from the City of Göteborg. Its a hot dog in a bun, topped with mashed potatoes and shrimp salad. It might exist outside of Göteborg as well but as far as I'm aware, only Göteborgians call it a Halv Special. You can also upgrade it to a Hel Special(Whole Special) where you get 2 hot dogs!
I haven't seen one in a restaurant in years. Probably because they're greasy and horribly sweet and disgusting and people got over the novelty of them.
I have made something like them, but open faced. A French toast and as soon as you flip it, add shreeded ham, and shreeded cheese. Cover with a lid to make sure the cheese melts.
You should do Canadian donairs because they’re basically a gyro or doner kebab but the meat on the rotating cone is made of ground beef. They’re topped with tomatoes and onions and wrapped in a pita but the most iconic part of the donair though is the sweet sauce made out of sweetened condensed milk, vinegar and garlic powder. They were invented by a Greek immigrant in Halifax, Nova Scotia in the seventies but now they’re popular coast to coast to coast. Donairs are so popular in Canada that last year there was an online auction for a government surplus donair costume that got over 1700 bids on it, and a winning bid of more than 16,000$.
Given Ben guessed denmark, lets throw in the best end of night danish streetfood, the Ribben Sandwich Sesame burgerbun. Two slices of crispy roasted pork belly. Pickles. Pickled red cabbage and some mayo. Cures every hangover
You may have addressed this on the channel before, but in Canada our Chinese restaurants have a dish called ginger fried beef that is so good, I get it every time. I don’t know if they serve it other places but you should try it if haven’t yet! Also beaver tails! Large flat donut with variety of toppings.
It may make sense to use the central point of a country to calculate the distance, but I don't think that makes any sense when you're talking about territory that is 2400 miles (3617 miles to the f'n center!) away from the mainland.
the chinese part of my brain is like wtf at the spice bag but the junk food lover is like hell yeah. all of these dishes looked great, but that first dish looked so good. i can't wait for more of these eps!
I ate those hot dog mashed potato wraps when I lived in Stockholm on my way home from uni a couple days a week! They sold them at every corner burger and hot dog stand in the city. Great memories! Haven't eaten one of them for 12 years or so!
They did this before (in the same game) with the musubi. They need to start recognizing Hawaii uniquely for its culinary traditions and not as part of the larger US
9:22 okay while i can somewhat respect country of origin,with-out bringing up the the questionable acquisition of Hawaii into the USA, to argue the position center of said country, to guess in the USA is BS! Fine the rest of the world doesn’t have the state or land mass of the USA, but Hawaii is the most remote state and Fiji is 2,000 miles closer to Hawaii than Dominican Republic. By this scale they could have said Canada, who doesn’t and has never grown pineapples (despite creating Hawaiian pizza) as a better answer without any rational reason! NO!
I was waiting for you guys to do a tunnbrödsrulle! 🤣 And I have to agree with Jamie that the "bostongurka" or the gerkin relish is the best part! It works just like lingonberry with meatballs and just brightens up the dish!
"It's a hotter version than I remember" - the last thing you want to hear from your opponent when trying to guess where a food is from.
The choice of blindfold with glasses on top or underneath is just 💯
The best of both worlds here 🤣

One of the things to entertain was the massive Sunday breakfasts; we turned them up to 11. Her addition was turning her already awesome Bombay Potatoes into Sautéed Bombay Potatoes as well as Bombay Hash Browns. 😋
BOMBAY HASH BROWNS? 😍
@@SortedFood❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@SortedFood I know, they're magic.
Ben should not be allowed to play this. He has been everwhere and has a very good memory.
Love Ebber's magic trick at 6:03 😂😂
He is a real god in the kitchen. Turning a pinappel in to chicken.
Everytime Jaime sees a dish, that little giggle he makes, makes me think of Twilight. Michael Sheen as Aro when he laughs. It's so unsettling, but hilarious at the same time.
I instantly identified the spice bag as a staple of my peoples current dining experience 😂
Haha love it.... IT'S SOOOOO good 😋
@@SortedFoodAMAZING 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I've never seen it with rice!
Likewise
Probably the only Brits I wanna hear talking about India and Pakistan being one country earlier 😂😂😂😂
Jamie’s face with each reveal is priceless!!!
What would make these Guess the Street Food even better would be showing the chefs recreate them so the viewers can make them too.
Ben has all the cash to travel the world with the culinary background to remember everything he’s ever eaten. Like putting an Olympian in with an elementary school team.
i knew tunnbrödsrulle IMMEDIATELY!! so excited to recognize it. one of my friends is swedish and explained it to me a while back - i've always wanted to try 'n make it, but i don't just have barley flour sitting around to make tunnbröd. but this has reinvigorated and inspired me to get some and try it out!
Had the tunnbrödsrulle for dinner yesterday x) it’s yum
NICE 👌
@@SortedFoodAWESOME
@@SortedFood should have tried it with räksallad x) Then its really out there
You need to have Josh, Olly, and/or Gabi from Korean Englishman and Jolly on a Street Food Episode. With how much they've traveled, it would be interesting if they would have picked up on any of the street food.
I’m so happy to see Chef vs Normal battling it out with this guessing game. Also, happy to see the comeback of glasses over blindfold by the Spaff.
Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the community!
I'm so happy ye did a spice bag. 😭😊
I suggested it to y'all recently. I was so excited when I seen it. 🇮🇪
Tunnbrödsrulle is the second best food invention ever, only second to Smörgårdsbord ;) the roll is a real midnight after the pub favourite, best is with shrimpsalad (the gooey kind) and fried onions.. top notch
A South African here! I'd like to suggest Kota: made from a hollowed out quarter loaf of bread and filled with a variety of ingredients, often potato "slap" chips, sausage, egg, beef patty, cheese, polony and atchar.
I love the new dry erase boards!! Easier to see and look easier to hold!!!
These all looked incredible! I think I'll have to have a go at creating the Bread Pakora as that looked stunning. 😃
The only one I got right was Hawaii. The pineapple, soy sauce, ketchup and not really spicey tipped me off. I watch some foodie guys in Japan, one lived in Hawaii for a while and talked about the melding of Asian and American flavours there.
I was hung up trying to guess between Hawaii and Philippines.
TabiEats? Love Satoshi and Shinichi!
Absolutely@@lbednaz ! Love those two.
A young man who's family moved to our area from Hawaii made hulihuli chicken for our drama club a few years ago. I knew it was Hawaii but I hardly ever figure out the others lol
His folks missed that chicken so much they build a rotating cooker that could hold up to 15 or so chickens at a time. Last I heard their family moved again. Dad's job had him traveling everywhere.
But our kids in the club loved it. It wasn't spicy but they had several sauces that they served on the side. One I think was Japanese bulldog and then the bright red sweet chili sauce and a savory peanut sauce.
The guys only missed out on the macaroni salad and white rice they used to serve as sides. 😊
Love this kind of video. My mouth is watering!!!
Would absolutely love if these recipes were on the app!
Please add a pie iron to your next antique tool list. They are a fairly common camping gear item in the states and make the most amazing panini sandwiches cooked over a campfire. They also can be used to make campfire pies. 😋
2:53 Barry’s Silent Savagery 😂
Love the joy in Jamie from seeing the dishes! All of it looks so amazing!!
Have you guys tried tanghulu yet?! It's one of my favorite snacks- so good!!
I'm seeing a trip to Hawai'i in your future. Hawai'i has some wonderfully fused cuisine from all over the world. As soon as I heard the ingredients in that dish, I knew it was from Hawai'i.
Please come visit us!!! My daughter and I are HUGE fans, and would love to show you around.
The Chinese bag reminds me of nacho fries here in the US. Basically just nachos but using French fries instead. There's also some Mediterranean restaurants doing it with fries and shawarma. So delicious
Get someone who reacts to you the same way Jamie reacts to street food 😂
The neighbors might call for a wellness check on your house.
Here are a couple suggestions (that might take a bit of work, but are *delicious*!)
From China: Shandong-style jian bing (must be Shandong style, not lao Beijing style!). Liang pi. Rou jia mo.
These are staple breakfast (jian bing) and lunch street-food dishes in the large east-coast areas of China. They are what I miss most.
I've been waiting for another one of these, excited to see what foods you chose.
In New Zealand we have a simple, seasonal delicacy known as 'whitebait patties/fritters' - tiny transparent fish (around 50 per fritter) bound together with egg & flour, pan fried in butter, served with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt - heavenly!
Been waiting/hoping for Spice Bag to come up on this for ages! The ones I normally get don't come with rice, and curry sauce is an optional extra, but that one looked fantastic!
The dads need to make the thinbread rolls for their kids. They are going to LOVE it. That was the best bit of any snow sport excursion we had in school. The thinbread rolled around mashed potatoes and hotdogs.
I’m from Hawaii and I was so happy to see Huli Huli chicken!!! Growing up my family and I would pick up Huli Huli chicken from a specific parking lot coming home from the beach. So many fond memories around this dish 🥹
3:21 OMG I WAS RIGHT…although I had a few bumps along the way. It’s definitely a Delhi-cacy.
If you want a different, maybe not exactly street food but nearly, from Sweden for a different episode I’d recommend the landgång. The landgång, at least the version of it that you find on the west coast of Sweden, is usually bread covered in a shrimp mix called skagenröra, langoustine tails, smoked salmon, salad, dill, and a few other things that can differ from place to place. It would be fun to see Ben’s reaction to this dish as well as the normals. This dish is quite popular in coastal towns like Smögen in Sweden which are tourist hotspots during the summer
“Given that the earth is ROUND!” 😂😂😂 Yes, Ebbers!!
Omg YES the look on his face 🤣
Insanity that he even had to say it. Can't teach common sense I guess.
youre pretty confident in your assessment@@harmonic5107
Wow wow! What an episode!
I'm excited to say that I guessed the Huli Huli, since it has become a popular dish in my house over the last few years (all the way in Georgia, US)!
I start with whole birds, spatchcocked, dry rub, 2 hours on the smoker, and then the high heat turning on the grill with homemade Huli Huli sauce. It's so fun to make, and delicious!
And I do it on the same grill Jamie uses! His showcase of his Masterbuilt smoker/grill last year made me buy one!
You guys are the best!
It was sneaky to make a tunnbrödsrulle with hackad gurka and not shrimp salad. The shrimp would have given it away.
AGREE!!!!
Hotdog with prawns just sounds horrendous though
@@GCOSBenbow it is really tasty.
@@GCOSBenbow It is drunk food, some like it, personally not for me, despite I love prawns.
Surf n turf.
@@GCOSBenbow
All hail the mighty spice bag!! The perfect end to a night out. Great selection of food guys!!
Ben "Hawaiian pizza! Pineapple" - Hawaiian pizza is Canadian dude.
Street food rec vvv
Old fashioned Chinese street treat - tang hu lu
Also found in Taiwan, and later popular in Korea also
Candied fruits on a stick basically, traditionally red hawthorn berries, but now available with a variety of fruits.
Long time ago, vendors would stick the bottom of the tanghulu sticks in a straw bundle basically, and carry the bundle (vertical) walking in the streets to sell them; I suppose it's because the candied sugar is sticky. A small simple treat, that can be sold while on the move, makes total sense as a street food~
You should do a series specifically for the states. The food varies so much from state to state it’s crazy!
Great idea! A whole episode just on barbecue- Kansas City style, Texas style, North Carolina vinegar sauce or South Carolina mustard sauce, and so many more besides.
Here's another one from Sweden, Halv Special!(Half Special)
Its a regional food from the City of Göteborg.
Its a hot dog in a bun, topped with mashed potatoes and shrimp salad. It might exist outside of Göteborg as well but as far as I'm aware, only Göteborgians call it a Halv Special. You can also upgrade it to a Hel Special(Whole Special) where you get 2 hot dogs!
Love the video, wondering if you could try fishroll that we have in cameroon its delicious street food
We will take a look! Thank you for the recommendation :)
@@SortedFoodYou guys are the Best 😊😊😊❤❤❤
@@SortedFood thank youuuu
I really think that it would be fun to watch the guys try to guess where regional foods are from in the US, because there really is so much variety!
Imagine Jamie if he got his hands on a Monte Cristo sandwich LOL
EXACTLY!!!!
While reading the Count of Monte Cristo
I haven't seen one in a restaurant in years. Probably because they're greasy and horribly sweet and disgusting and people got over the novelty of them.
@@craftiebrown they aren't sweet unless you are actually dipping them in the raspberry jam they would serve along with them.
I have made something like them, but open faced. A French toast and as soon as you flip it, add shreeded ham, and shreeded cheese. Cover with a lid to make sure the cheese melts.
You should do Canadian donairs because they’re basically a gyro or doner kebab but the meat on the rotating cone is made of ground beef. They’re topped with tomatoes and onions and wrapped in a pita but the most iconic part of the donair though is the sweet sauce made out of sweetened condensed milk, vinegar and garlic powder. They were invented by a Greek immigrant in Halifax, Nova Scotia in the seventies but now they’re popular coast to coast to coast. Donairs are so popular in Canada that last year there was an online auction for a government surplus donair costume that got over 1700 bids on it, and a winning bid of more than 16,000$.
Given Ben guessed denmark, lets throw in the best end of night danish streetfood, the Ribben Sandwich
Sesame burgerbun. Two slices of crispy roasted pork belly. Pickles. Pickled red cabbage and some mayo.
Cures every hangover
A good shoutout, but for the fun of it, I would like to see a beef sandwich with gravy.
You may have addressed this on the channel before, but in Canada our Chinese restaurants have a dish called ginger fried beef that is so good, I get it every time. I don’t know if they serve it other places but you should try it if haven’t yet! Also beaver tails! Large flat donut with variety of toppings.
It may make sense to use the central point of a country to calculate the distance, but I don't think that makes any sense when you're talking about territory that is 2400 miles (3617 miles to the f'n center!) away from the mainland.
the chinese part of my brain is like wtf at the spice bag but the junk food lover is like hell yeah. all of these dishes looked great, but that first dish looked so good. i can't wait for more of these eps!
The last one could easily have been Scotland too 😂
Very true 😆
@@SortedFoodyep😊😊😊❤❤❤
I ate those hot dog mashed potato wraps when I lived in Stockholm on my way home from uni a couple days a week! They sold them at every corner burger and hot dog stand in the city. Great memories! Haven't eaten one of them for 12 years or so!
As someone of (some) Hawaiian descent, I DEMAND JUSTICE FOR EBBERS 😩😩😩😩
(Yeah I know he won, and he won by a long shot, but still lol)
They did this before (in the same game) with the musubi. They need to start recognizing Hawaii uniquely for its culinary traditions and not as part of the larger US
@@sarahbee6758 YESSS! They absolutely do!!!
I could watch Sorted content all day. Thanks for the vids!
Would love to see the boys try Donairs from East-Coast of Canada!
Oh yes! King of Donairs in Halifax is great!
Cape bretoner here I totally agree!!
Love the videos, thanks.
9:22 okay while i can somewhat respect country of origin,with-out bringing up the the questionable acquisition of Hawaii into the USA, to argue the position center of said country, to guess in the USA is BS! Fine the rest of the world doesn’t have the state or land mass of the USA, but Hawaii is the most remote state and Fiji is 2,000 miles closer to Hawaii than Dominican Republic. By this scale they could have said Canada, who doesn’t and has never grown pineapples (despite creating Hawaiian pizza) as a better answer without any rational reason! NO!
Yes finally. I have been waiting for the Tunnbrödsrulle. So many nice varieties in Sweden. Please try one if you come here ❤
I thought the Huli Huli chicken was obvious! Soy gave it away! I got 1, 2, & 4, I guessed Germany for 3.
I thought the combination of soy and ketchup was the giveaway - could be a couple places outside the US but those would be spicy too!
I was waiting for you guys to do a tunnbrödsrulle! 🤣
And I have to agree with Jamie that the "bostongurka" or the gerkin relish is the best part! It works just like lingonberry with meatballs and just brightens up the dish!
Deep fried sandwich?
Is it from Scotland 🏴 😂
They deep fry everything else, so it's not a bad guess
@@SortedFoodyep😊😊😊😊😊
Ignorant response @@SortedFood
17:23 - Mike: "It's like a long Ireland Iced Tea"
Next time Kush V Ebbers but the normals have to cook the street food
Jamie cannot hold back... his emotion are priceless...
Now that we’ve had a few of videos in this series, I’m wondering who’s best at it and who’s worst. 🤔
Maybe it’s time for an overal leader board?
