James is a baker, he's said his favourite thing to cook is bread. Ben's called him the baking mistro He's a savoury baker in his comfort zone from what he's said But he exels at sweet baking, out of all of them he is the most talented baker
When you go up against a professional chef and another chef has such a hard time deciding (I really thought that Ebbers was going for the pie) that's a very honourable second place.

A great celebration of the function of flour - to protect the beef a little when searing, to thicken the sauce and for pastry. And don't even get us started on semolina!
He used white, semolina and two wheat beverages. James used spelt, white, whole wheat and one wheat beverage. Seems pretty even to me. Both dishes looked amazing as well.
Normally, I'd be one of the first to say "just get to the Battle" but I thoroughly enjoy these kinds of videos. The potato one was an eye opener and this is no different.
Totally agree. I was surprised I was not tempted to fast forward. Happy to learn about the knowledge and effort it takes to produce what I use in my kitchen.
I like seeing Mike on the camera but I appreciate that as big as Sorted has gotten over the years, he still operates behind the camera too , despite their crew and no real NEED for him to do it, other than that I presume he just likes to.
I love videos when James gets to really stretch his knowledge of flavours and techniques to try things that sound totally mad, but then come together in the end. It’s like an additional side competition between James and his ideas.
I always love watching the friendship between James and Jamie...James seems to always be willing Jamie on and hoping he does well. It's so nice to watch.
@King Kong no Jamie is a cook no a chef. to be a chef he would need to go back to culinary school and get a degree. Only then can he call himself a chef.
it's been such a joy to see the "normal's" skills grow over the last 10 years! there was a time when jamie was incapable of simply pouring ingredients from one bowl to a bigger bowl 😂 but now they're all so creative and talented and genuinely care about different cuisines and food history etc! i love this channel and it's growth so much
Product stewardship really makes a difference in preventing overuse or misuse of agricultural chemicals. I appreciate the educational aspect of this video. Also the those recipes made me hungry.
I love it when they go out into the field to learn more about ingredients or dishes they’re using/making! Adding some food history into a video is always a win for me.
@@SortedFood Well, I could achieve the pie without a pressure cooker, but I don't know that I can locate fresh blackberries in Taiwan... any recommendations for an alternative, James?! Or is that simply an incomparable match?
I somehow celebrate Jamie every time he does so well. If he knows what to do and how to do it he is very organized and his food looks so good. Just from the visuals I would vote for Jamie because his food looks very good and I know what I can expect from his dishes. James recipe sounds really interesting and I really wonder how it tastes. It is relly difficult to imagne from Bens discription how the dish really tastes like (and that is in no way his fault or anything). In the future I would love to see more recipes from around europe. Traditional dishes from all around europe in a three-way battle or something. And not just the usual 5 countries but also the smaller ones or lesser known cuisines. Iceland vs. Estonia vs. Austria or something like that.
“You know when you’re having a conversation with someone and they’re just waiting for you to finish so they can talk? That’s Ben.” - James Alastair Currie, 2020. Ben and I have received this incisive opinion by our peers lol
James’ dessert reminds me a lot of a very traditional cake in the US called a Kentucky jam cake. It’s a spice cake with blackberry jam and pecans mixed in topped with a caramel icing and traditionally served at Christmas. This was because historically the only fruits available at Christmas were either preserved in jams or dried and there would often be a plentiful amount of nuts gathered in the fall. I find it very interesting that someone came up with essentially this combination independently.
For many years now you have kept my lunch breaks filled with joy! And the sheer amount of laughter you have brought to me is amazing. But I need you to know how important you all have been to me during this pandemic. I live in NYC and it's been a long 7 months. I came down with shingles on my face from stress and your channel is what got me through 2 weeks of unbelievable pain. I would watch you for hours. The videos were just what I needed. I just want you all to know that what you do means so much more than you can ever realize. I will be eternally grateful to all of you! Thank you for everything you do and thank you for the laughter!
Thank YOU!! What is so great is that we rely on you all just as much. The kind words mean a lot and having you guys so involved with us on our journey is one of the many things that make us such a fortunate bunch of goons!!
As a counterpoint to this episode, I'd love to see a gluten free mystery box challenge. Not with gluten replacements, but using ingredients that just simply ARE without gluten, especially alternative grains and other things we don't think to use. Also, WELL DONE, boys. That looked like the best meal you've put together since Big Night In.
Love this idea! I was just thinking the same kind of thing when I watched a vegan fish and chips video they did. Replacements are great and I'm glad we have so many options these days but I'd love to celebrate foods/dishes that just happen to fit within different categories.
I would love to see more three-way recipes compared!!! Perhaps a British classic such as beef wellington or fish and chips! Also please start calling them three-ways 😂 😂 😂
I think James’ dish was a great new dish, but with all of the different ways it was used, I think Jamie’s was a better celebration of wheat with the different uses, from a thickening agent, to a pastry, in the beer, and the whisk(e)y.
I really would like another pass it on episode.... And i know I have been commenting with the idea for a trifle episode, each three layers with minimum height in a big glass bowl, sweet or savory as a pass it on challenge for you..... But I really would like a fun episode, not that I don’t like the educational aspects , but I could really use a laugh.....
I would say Jamie's dish. Looks amazing, and from what they said, perfectly executed. There was nowhere to hide, so if any component didn't turn ou,t the whole dish would be ruined. James's dish was clever, but there was so much going on that any issues would get lost in the noise.
As a huge fan of whisky, beer, and beef I now want to create that pie myself. Well done Jamie. My mouth was watering just looking at your dish. Cheers.
As much as I think Jamie's dish was better, the use of wheat in James's dish by using flour and beer was just more creative so I agree with James's win.
Honestly, you guys always go above and beyond, I could've just watched a mystery box challenge and been happy, but now I've learned a lot more about agriculture and wheat! Keep up the great work guys, cheers!
hi James! Miss you on Sorted but hope your next venture is a fairytale land of balanced flavor and exquisite education! Can't wait to see you again when you are ready to come back for a visit!
Loved this! Learning where ingredients come from is SO important. I planted my own vegetable garden during quarantine and I cannot stress enough how much more appreciative I am with my ingredients when I go to the grocery store. Guys, growing vegetables is hard! Thanks Sortedfood!
Spelt flour in the cake (a variety of wheat). Both white and whole wheat in the flatbread. Wheat beer in the caramel. What other grains? Btw Jamie used slightly less flour-he dredged his meat, added some to thicken the gravy, made pastry and rolled his potatoes in semolina. Both dishes looked great, though.
Lance Lindle Lee, okay. Jaime used 2 types of flour and two wheat beverages. James used 3 types of flour and one wheat beverage. Pretty even and 2 great dishes. I'm still not getting the "wide variety of grains" other than wheat referred to by the OP. Because there aren't any.
I learned a lot watching this episode. I’ve really learned a lot since beginning watching this channel. Thank you guys for all of the great information and entertainment you put into each episode.
Honestly, with the brief being a celebration of wheat...I thought that Jamie's would have been the winner given the fact it used wheat in so many different ways. James used wheat, yes, but did he really celebrate it?
Seriously? Two main elements of the dish were mostly flour, the sauce was flavored with wheat beer which is a very distinctive flavor because of wheat.
Jamie's use of wheat - sauce, pastry, potatoes. James' use of wheat - cake, bread, sauce. Maybe Jamie used more different forms of it but I think that with James' dish consisted of a higher proportion. They both celebrated it in a different way, neither less than the other.
This kind of video is really important. So many people truly don't know where their food comes from. I recently had to deal with some young veggie thieves in my community garden plot and the kids didn't know that carrots grew in the ground!
I reckon it'd be possible jf they just got one of the Normal presenters vs some other behind the scenes staff member. It eliminates any legal or sceurity issues, and can still serve as a pretty decent benchmark
Frank Reiser im also Wondering about that. Seems not many people know about the history of BASF and IG Farben. f. ex: they Produced Zyklon B, the thing they used to kill the jews in the holocaust. I'm no friend of cancel coulture but a sponsor is a different thing, it is something you choose.

I think James's dish seemed like the most spectacular one, but Jamie's dish is the one that got me the most excited to start cooking myself.

'give him a Ribeye' is that what they're calling it these days...
How is Beat the Chef Jamie so different from Pass it on Jamie?
I bet they all wonder the same thing
@@lorettasmith9730 perpetuation, Jamie knows the beginning middle and end. No reason, less time pressure.
Because I am pretty sure Beat the Chef Jamie has a pre planned written down recipe whereas Pass it On Jamie is.....well, Jamie.
Preparation Vs Panic
Because Jamie tends to do better cooking beef and beef accessories, so he tends to default to beef and beef-adjacent dishes.
i'm certain the themes of these episodes are entirely dependent of how many puns Ben can think of
Nonsense. Food puns are just the easiest to make.
Ben's puns pair well with James' "rye" sense of humour.
Coming up with puns is probably ingrained into Ben's personality.
You know James was concerned with the swheatness of the dessert in the overall flavour profile.
I apologize if the attempts in this comment are too chaffing. :)
That shot of James' caramel is probably one of the sexiest shots ever.
13:50
Not hotter than when his calves were in frame, though... They took the cake.
I read camel at first lmao
It's because of Barry moaning at the same time right? lols
Jamie used so many variations of wheat. He's my winner for sure.
A great celebration of the function of flour - to protect the beef a little when searing, to thicken the sauce and for pastry. And don't even get us started on semolina!
He used white, semolina and two wheat beverages.
James used spelt, white, whole wheat and one wheat beverage.
Seems pretty even to me.

Chef should have some disadvantage to make the battle fair!
@@varunkumar83 the point of the video is to see if he can beat the chef not have an even battle

BASF? So next Sponsor is Monsanto?
