PS; Once upon a time when I was a food/restaurant/hospitality/wine/spirits writer and editor, I was asked to JUDGE a "Cooking With SPAM" contest at the Los Angeles County Fair. The BEST recipe (and yeah, a lot of them WERE awful) was a very clever idea. A woman took the "hickory smoke flavor" SPAM and cut it in thin little "chip" slices--sort of Frito's sized--and put them in a food DEHYDRATOR and made them pretty close to crisp! She then mixed them with nuts and dried fruits to create a hickory SPAM "trail mix" and it was truly delicious!
For everyone going nutso over the 'correct' reason that SPAM is called SPAM... Forget it. Nobody really knows. How do I know this? Because Hormel (They own the trademark on SPAM) used to say it was for "Shoulder of Pork And haM" but they recently changed it to "Spiced Ham" and the name wasn't even meant to BE an ancronym in the first place... So those are both backronyms and wrong anyway. Some guy came up with the name, and that is what they named it. THE END.
James wears the 70's look far too well, it really suits him. Ben has a shockingly nice rear. Whatever Mike was doing frightened me a little. Barry looked adorable as a rubix cube, he's such a cute little grumpcube. Jamie looks a tad like a used care salesman, but in a good way? Sort of? I enjoy prawns.
James rocks the 70's look, Jamie is second in looks. Mike losing his mustache in the fryer was hilarious. As for the food, I couldn't tell. If Barry won, it seems odd to me for a sweet to win. I do like shrimp so that would probably get my vote.
I nearly pissed myself at Mike's reaction to his mustache falling into the oil. I literally was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Best. Reaction. Ever. XD
I haven't even read the comments but I really hope mike is just dominating somehow. You know what... Everyone that comes across this, vote for Mike! Get him up top and keep him as the ultimate battle king!
Barry was the clear winner. And his prize was lots of James cuddles. It was super cute, and I'm super jealous. I can almost feel the polyester 'neath my fingers. :)
if anyone is interested at 8:53 the lady in the foreground wears the uniform of a captain of the UK army and the man in the background wears the uniform of a first officer of a civil airline.
Mike's fallen soggy mustache looked like a giant dead snail without a shell. D': Oh, I'm voting for Barry's. Nice bumbum, Ben. Your belly's showing too.
Not yuck, I promise! 🤣 Just salty af. A lot of people don't cook it, which makes it kinda yuck. Here in Hawaii it's like our state food (okay it's really not, but we eat a ton of it 😋😁). We typically eat it sliced and fried (you don't need to add oil or anything, it's like bacon, it's oily enough by itself). And how much you fry it, again, is akin to bacon, a preference. I love mine thin and to the point of crispiness. My son likes his a little thicker cut and not as done. But fry it and give it a chance! 🥰
I remember the Jell-o 1-2-3 dessert. It was a packet, you added milk, and it would separate into 3 layers - a clear jelled layer, a mousse sort of layer, and a layer of hard chocolate about 1/2 inch thick. It was awesome! That and chicken pot pies that cost $0.10, but it took almost an hour to cook them because we didn't have a microwave until 1977.
"Stop zooming in on my bum!"
I died that part 😂😂
"I've heard Ben can do you with his eyes closed in five seconds" absolutely killed me
I think the real winner is Ben with those delightful buns
all the cuddles for James!! 🙆❤
We all need to have a friendship that's as close as the all are!!
I cannot un-see Ben's outfit. it was the winner of this video 😂😂
It's true it can't be unseen. It haunts us to this day...
I feel like Ben in his 70's outfit won the whole show!
Barry and James at 6:49 though. 😂😍
Barry looks very uncomfortable. Ben on the other hand seems to have found his true fashion calling
It's all about the flares!
Ben has all the Flair
I love how Ben and Mike were so dressed up up for the party and Barry is just like "nah this shirt is fine"
Jamie's spam was so convincing that they thought it was the real thing
😂😂 sometimes excellence does not result in reward.
I died when Mike's mustache fell in the oil and got fried
Poor Mike, we all saw it coming but none of us stopped him 😂
And he just leaves it in there
I must admit...I do wonder what it did to the flavor of the taters...(ICK!)...you'd have to clear out the entire fryer after that.
I knew it was gonna happen and still died when it fell in
Sorted battles are literally the best
Glad you like them, they are SO MUCH FUN to film 😂
Yeah so much fun to watch. If you like Italy and Italian desserts and cakes I think you might like my latest video :)
For me, it's a bit more entertaining than masterchef...
Oh my gosh. Has to be your best innuendo at 5:34. It almost slipped under my radar as well
what does he say?! I can understand 'eyes closed in 5 seconds,' but I can't understand the first part.
"I heard that Ben can do you with his eyes closed in 5 seconds."
It's a rubix cube joke
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
Pretty Clear:
1. Butterscotch Mousse
2. Scampi Cocktail
3. ....
4. Spam and Pineapple
Haha, brilliant!
Here is the thing, usually Jamie is my first or second in these, but here, I feel like fourth is generous....
1. cut roof off fiesta
2. remove seats
3. use it as skip
pretty easy really

DL Fendel Jerk Spam-I like it!
You have my attention.
I love how Jamie dances when Mike is explaining his dish. To be honest, Jamie has got some moves!
you guys should do a behind the scene crew special. Challenge them to cook
That would be carnage... Perfect!
SORTEDfood Do it! Do it! Do it!
Food + Fun + The Best Group of Best Friends Ever = Sortedfood
Thanks for being awesome
This battle episode could only have been better if it also had an Ultimate 70's Dance Battle thrown in... with all of you!
Now THAT would have been hilarious!
omg yeesssss
Barry
THE ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN TREAT BATTLE PLEASE
yaas.
happychanrus Ahh EXO-L 🙌👏
All you need is reeses tho
I love your profile pic 😉
happychanrus
'I heard Ben can do you with his eyes closed in 5 seconds' I'm having a terrible Sunday already but that has made it 20x better oh my
Mike and Ben's outfits the end of the video 👌👌
Mike's mustache fell into the deep fryer!!! I'm dying!!! 😂😂😂😂

Some guy came up with the name, and that is what they named it.
THE END.
We finally have the answer! 😂
"We're going to make some pineapple and char it"
I'd be impressed if, in a 9 minute video, Jamie MADE a pineapple.
'I'll just wipe around the rim'

No Bennuendo this time...

this has to be my favourite ultimate battle video yet omg the costumes 10/10
Yay! So glad you liked it 👌
OMG can we please talk about Ben's hair!!!
Can we never mention Ben's hair again..?
RAWRsynchro I know. Shame on you Sorted, bad taste.
I just saw it after reading this comment (big screen, it was at the top) and then almost fell off my chair!
SORTEDfood no no can we please discuss it ✌🏻️😏
I find it much more satisfying when someone declares a winner. :D I do love to watch two other people lose.
"Stop zooming into my bum"
that killed me lmao
For some reason Ben and James just standing there in costume cracked me up
John Travolting.... I think that's the greatest pun I've ever heard
Mike in that suit at the end there!
Got to taste them all at the canape party - glad I picked the winner!
Glad you enjoyed them Sarah! :)
James rocks the 70's look, Jamie is second in looks. Mike losing his mustache in the fryer was hilarious. As for the food, I couldn't tell. If Barry won, it seems odd to me for a sweet to win. I do like shrimp so that would probably get my vote.

BUTTERSCOTCH IM NOT CHANGING MY ANSWER CAUSE I LUVE BUTTEHSCOOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is totally fair!
SORTEDfood 😂
Sari Penso SAME I LUV BUTTERSCOTCH
Jamie made such an accurate spam that the guests thought he just deep fried some tinned spam
I haven't even read the comments but I really hope mike is just dominating somehow. You know what... Everyone that comes across this, vote for Mike! Get him up top and keep him as the ultimate battle king!
Omg, I had no idea spam meant spiced ham 😮
It doesn’t it stands for Shoulder Pork and Ham.
I can't get enough of Ultimate Battle ! Please more ...
a moustache always adds a nice touch to fries, recommended 100%
OMG! Barry's butterscotch mousse looked amazing!!!
Could you guys do a video that introduces the rest of the Sorted crew?
3:08 Wasn't expecting THAT! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
watching this six years later and seeing Barry eating pineapple
Ben and James look great. They should rock the 70s every day.
Ultimate quiche battle!!! 😍
I'm not sure Ben would be able to cope!
Omg super hilarious, Baz's expression sometimes. Love everyone in here. And Ben.... Awwwwww 😂😂😂
Butterscotch all the way!
I'm glad he had the sense to not actually use the spam 😂
The person who added Mike into a Village People photo before is rejoicing right now!
So true!
Who picks out Ben's terrible costumes? He/she needs a raise.
I think that should say excellent costumes... 😉
needed more camera time of Mike in a suit...
this is the most hilarious episode after the 1000 piece berfi video.Ben looks sooo cute in this costume.
I was already pumped bc Sorted battles are the ABSOLUTE BEST and then 0:38. WHAT. IS. LIFE. *dead*
Barry was the clear winner. And his prize was lots of James cuddles. It was super cute, and I'm super jealous. I can almost feel the polyester 'neath my fingers. :)
Dang Barry.. I'm drooling just by watching them!!!!!
SPAM= Sliced, Processed, Alien Meat. -Marvin Eriksen
"plane food is ass" - marvin eriksen
spam is damn good
what!!!'
readmetchieread SPAM = specially processed American meat. actual fact
Bullshit, it's literally just pork with spices. I don't like it-too salty-but it isn't anything sinister.
ngl when jamie pulled out the pineapple, i thought he was gonna say 'i have pineapple, UH, pineapple pen'
Same!!!
OMG I can totally see him doing that
What a fantastic vintage challenge! I love 70's, it's interesting to know food trends in UK at that time, in Italy they were slightly different.
Who does the voice for the Ultimate Battle because it's amazing
It's Mike! 😂
+SORTEDfood whaaaaaaaa??
SORTEDfood Thank you 😀
He sounds like Brian Blessed :')
Could you guys do more decade battles/ challenges? I'd love to see what you do with the 20s or earlier.
butterscotch and mousse in the same dessert ? Shyoot, but Barry's got this one for sure.
if anyone is interested at 8:53 the lady in the foreground wears the uniform of a captain of the UK army and the man in the background wears the uniform of a first officer of a civil airline.
Based on those reactions, there's no way Barry can't be the winner here. Barry all the way.
This is pretty fair, Barry's dish tasted INCREDIBLE
There surely needs to be a compilation of moments when Jamie is spinning objects in his hand 1:28
seems to be his favourite thing to do
Someone please make this and send it to us!
yeah, im not gonna do that, i got shit to do bro
You cant beat butterscotch
Agreed
I've never had butterscotch. Is that a bad thing?
honestly you are probably healthier for it, but butterscotch is good.
camera person that kept zooming in on the bum you are greatly appreciated.
PLEASE PLEASE do an ULTIMATE PUMPKIN CHALLENGE video!!
Someone needs to give Jamie a medal for that travolting pun
Barry definitely won its obvious
Spam, strawberry jam and Frazzle sandwiches are practically the only thing I remember from the 70's.
Food Barry's butterscotch. Costume Ben's Bum.
The first shot of Ben and James made me laugh 😂
I actually had to pause the video before hitting the 2 minutes mark because of how much I was laughing.
Same haha.
LOL Ultimate Battles are the highlight of my Sunday EVERY WEEK!
Mike's fallen soggy mustache looked like a giant dead snail without a shell. D':
Oh, I'm voting for Barry's. Nice bumbum, Ben. Your belly's showing too.
5:26 "I'll just wipe round the rim". Probably best.
I felt so weird watching Barry eat pinneaple now that I know that he's allergic. On the other hand, the winner is Ben with those buns! lol
When the intro isn't over yet and you're already dying on the floor 👌
ok was i the only one who had no idea SPAM was called that coz of spiced ham? i always thought it was just a random name for it...
the moustache falling into the oil. I was laughing so hard
Poor J, he got SPAMMED with hate! :(
OMG! Ben's butt killed it.
Haha loved this video!!! I am not a fan of Spam from a can (yick lol) but Jamie's version with the orange juice actually sounded delicious!
It was so tasty, you should definitely give it a go!
Not yuck, I promise! 🤣 Just salty af. A lot of people don't cook it, which makes it kinda yuck. Here in Hawaii it's like our state food (okay it's really not, but we eat a ton of it 😋😁).

@@lynnettesue6240 fair enough! May well do!

lol. Somebody give me a hand , i am still on the floor.
I just got back from school and so glad that you guys uploaded!
I bet the prawns were super flavourful with that extra touch of fried moustache ✨👨🏻
Nailed it, mate.
Barry knocked this one out of the park!
Spiralized potatoes? You mean curly fries?!?
Yes, curly fries.
Ben definitely had that costume in the back of his cupboard for ‘Fun Friday’s’
i think the spam and pineapple looked good!
This was a magnificent episode guys! I haven't laughed so hard in a long while. Thanks!
you should do a halloween spieacial for last minute food creations inspired by halloween!!!! it would be awesome !!!
That's a great idea! 👌
Your welcome !!
Orla Henderson special
Deffinitely Mike. The scampi cocktail looks amazing
It looks John trevolting hahahaha
I VOTE BARRY! I LOVE SWEET STUFF!!!!😍😘😘😻💜💙💚💛💝💟💞
