Can we have a pretentious beef episode in Jamie’s house next please?
That would be good 👌
Yes please!!
I think Jamie might actually weep with joy.
Whose house was the garden grilling episode filmed at back in the day?
@@janmay3901 Jamies. he is the grill master. Even Ben said it once that when it comes to grilling in that niche Jamie has more knowledge then Ben does. As it's something Jamie goes very deep in. From research techniques, equipment (inc equipment management),products and many more.
I mean in the end Ben still knows more about food in general but with in this sliver Jamie is the teacher.
I love the fact that the robot lawnmower is just there in the background, going back and forth, doing its gardening, lol. Aww, Barry's baby is a wee cutie patootie. Those grapes look incredible. Lee :)
Those grapes were absolutely incredible.... completely different to your usual grape experience.
I came here for the lawnmower comments. It looked like it was trying to sneak up on Ben. :)
Robot Lawnmower is Pretentious.
@@yaone8871 🤣
To my mind, "pretentious" in this context means, "The reason I'm eating this food is not so that I can enjoy it myself, but so that other people can see me eating this food."
literally my definition. "A product that has a stated intended use case, but is purchased primarily for display instead."
Agree, these didn't feel pretentious
or maybe beter said. it's pretentions if you have to explain why it is or need to justify to those people why.
This is very good and in the line of what I think. I keep going back to the ”pretend” in ”pretentious - something that inflates its own importance or significance. British sparkling wine which also aids biodiversity? Not pretentious. Grapes which take an insane amount of work to grow and which are exceptional for it? Not pretentious. Ginger which claims it’ll lower your anxiety levels and purify your aura? Pretentious as hell.
@@PetWessman Pretentious fruit is when people pay more for imperceivably different produce, paying more because someone has tickled the apples with gold or only used ethically friendly peace manure to spray over the potatoes or whatever.
Paying £2 per grape because it is simply the best tasting grape you've ever had isn't "pretentious" at all, it is arguably disgustingly vulgar display of wealth when that price per grape is what about 3% of even the UK's population has to live on for dinner tonight. But I'm not a Socialist so I'm not going to judge anyone for buying grapes they can afford.
It costs that much more because of market demand, because clearly it is worth that much more to people who really like eating grapes, they aren't charging extra because they wrote a load of waffle on the back of the packet, they're charging that much because year after year they put hours into actually determining scientifically the exact amount of moisture and sunlight a grape needs and ensuring that whatever the weather actually is it gets that amount and not more or less.
British sparkling wine would be pretentious if all it did was prattle on about "bio-diversity" as if protecting a flower or two makes the world a better place and justifies costing twice as much, the reason it isn't pretentious is that due to global warming the actual temperatures, amount of rainfall, etc that made the "Champagne region" so good for growing wine in the 1700s when it got famous for it, have actually moved North, because the "too cold, too wet" UK has got drier and hotter as the planet has got warmer, and the "just right" Champagne region has therefore got "too hot too dry"
The only reason the British wines don't continue to win more awards is because of how massively corrupt the French wine awards are, because they have a massive interest to protect their own domestic industry, so they go on with the anti-scientific "terroir" bollocks rather than the meteorology and agronomy and bio-chemistry that is backed by empirical study and historical records.
The crawfish gin is a perfect example of the difference between pretentious and novelty. Pretentious is something you tell people about to put yourself in some kind of light. Novelty is something you wouldn't exactly expect and it's fun to try but not necessarily ever buy twice.
Perfect explanation
No. Novelty usually implies that it's a poor quality product or otherwise undersirable. This was a good product with a weird gimmick.
@@adde9506 "This was a good product with a weird gimmick"
So... A novel product.
A novelty.
@@adde9506 Noveltly = Newish
The thing is it can even be very old to most but for some people it can be Novel. it is new.
in it self that is not bad. it's more the question does that thing stay being used/implemented after the newness (novelty) wares of.
if not then it was not that good. if it stays in frequent use it becomes common.
Like if you always take a bath and suddenly for some reason take a shower. that shower would be a novelty to you. it does not mean it is good or bad. however if you keep it at that once time the act of you taking a shower would be a novelty as you go back to taking bath.
is that shower bad in it self probably not did you enjoy it. maybe but not enough to stop using the bath.
If that's Barry's kitchen the channel is obviously doing alright. well done chaps!
Dual income, dude.
Ben has a flat in London and Barry and his family live in Hampshire, definitely the more expensive places to live
It depends where in London and where in Hampshire really some places are more expensive than others.
Millennial wealth in the UK is determined primarily by inheritance
@@ktrizzle6501 yeah, or a booming yt channel.
Sienna was adorable! But I also love that Barry has (I think) an Automatic Mower (6:17).
Yup, meet Max the mower 😂
@@SortedFood pretentious.
They are only like $200 more than a manual mower and they last like 10yrs. So they are worth it unless your time is only worth around $0.5/hr.
On brand
@@Idiomatick I value my life and want to be spared during the robot uprising.
Jamie’s little “Bye…” to baby Sienna is such an uncle/dad response to a small child. 🙂
He looked like he would have appreciated a kiss and a cuddle
Is Jamie wearing a T-Shirt that says "you are my comfort food" ? Fantastic !
He is! A quote from the community 👌
Why is Barry so shocked by his Prince of Pretentious moniker? I thought it was cannon at this point! 😂
Awww I love today’s special guest 🥰 such a blessing! 💜💕 I really enjoyed learning about the ingredients and I don’t think any were pretentious.
The grapes are a great example of the kind of pretentious food I might serve in the right moment. An over the top splurge for a milestone birthday something like that. Pretentious isn't always bad.
The cameo we didn’t know we needed but I am all here for it.
Barry is even more adorable when holding a cute little baby.
In very much a 'second baby' sort of way
I like Jamie’s face when baby is givin back to mom is adorable..
Is it bad that I think this white on white, moderny kitchen is exactly what I pictured for Barry’s kitchen?
The fact that the baby's face lit up when Ben said "bacon dust" is really funny to me. Though I'd almost expect that more from Jamie's kids. :)
The bacon dust sounds like it would be awesome over sauteed mushrooms for a blt-vibe situation.
Definitely 😋
@@gangewifre Apart from the bacon aspect, how is that anything like a BLT?
Should have had the bacon dust on ice cream.
@SortedFood breaded pork chop hack: substitute bread crumbs with crushed pork rinds, seasoned to taste
so it's really common to serve grapes peeled in Japan! for school lunch we'd get some huge local grapes and the kids would all peel them before eating, because the peel is thick and bitter. obviously it wasn't pretentious, because it was just school lunch! (but I lived in Shinshu, famous for their big fat juicy concord grapes. haha you jelly? :) )
Sienna's face as Ebbers said Baconiser! Delightfully sweet.
Another amazing video! You guys have been crushing it the last few weeks with bringing back old video formats and just making all around great videos with hilarious content. Keep listening to the fans and keep kicking butt. Love to all of you on screen and off. :)
you didnt even have time to watch a quarter of the video lol...
@@BobaPhettamine Don't have to finish the video to know it's already great. Appreciate your funny comment though. :)
My gosh these fellows, indeed everyone of their team are beyond adorable! Such a delight to watch everything they put out. Such high quality, the most wonderful elixir is the infusion of the energy that comes through from being the closest of friends (chosen family) they are. That is what keeps me coming back! Loyal relationships are nurturing, like food is nurturing. Love the channel, a delight to watch.
Oh look at the little cutie pie - congrats to mommy and daddy... she's adorable bless her... and a total natural in front of the camera..
Thank you 😊
Is her name Siena? If so, it's a beautiful place and a beautiful name for a gorgeous baby... @@SortedFood
I loved this one so much! Ebber’s basically used this as a nice way for gift giving and oh my god those Japanese grapes sound amazing! You guys need to do a travel video just to try all those fruits for us!!!
You guys rock i cant wait to see the new place, and what else you guys have in store for the community
Is this still the same kitchen that had the rosegold accents? I loved that one, so perfectly on brand for Barry ✨
I love this channel, and I have learned so much here about food and how to balance dishes. There is so much great knowledge on this channel. That said; These episodes will always make me laugh. Pretentious Ingredients is one of my favorite formats. I love seeing the different reactions from each person. I'd love to see James come back and either host or star in another pretentious ingredients video.
6:15 in the back yard of course the prince of pretentious has a robot lawn mower 😂
LOVE the baby bit. Very nice to see the family component for a chance. Not saying do it all the time - but it humanizes the show.
@@SinnerChrono Good Lord. There is so much negativity in the world - why add to it? Perhaps if you could just let people enjoy life - you might find that that act bgings you the joy you lack. If not - why drag others down with you?
@@SinnerChrono Something makes me think there's a reason for that.
@@SinnerChrono what a confused reply. i dont want kids either, but i love playing with my friends' kids. if you dont have a family it does not mean you cant partake in those of others. that kid wasnt particularly cute in my opinion, but it was kinda fun having her there and seeing her reaction. and it does humanize the show, i realized that i have no idea how many kids these guys have.
@@SinnerChronowhat a ludicrous response. Because you don’t want kids and are tired of people talking about theirs, then they should just stop? Not everybody is here to tiptoe around your feelings
Oh yeah no, I was cooking lunch and turned to look at my phone for the next item only to find a cute little bap and was like “well that’s not pretentious at all” 😂 although tbf they may be by default by virtue of being related to Barry lol.
It seems whoever was causing all the fuss here has deleted their comment (or perhaps I just can’t see it) but while I don’t plan on having children, I can say I absolutely love the inclusion of kiddos in peoples content, so long as they’re either small enough to not be easily recognizable (I doubt very few non-familial people could differentiate this little cutie from another similar aged bap in the same garb, for example) , or old enough to decide they want to be involved and are not being coerced into it for content. Love seeing them included without being exploited ❤️ (obviously this wee thing is not being exploited in the slightest, in fact I have no doubt they’re rather spoilt and having a good old time of it lol).
I do love your take on pretentious (affectionate) vs pretentious (derogatory)
Pretenti-sous chef (he needs that on his apron) Barry is well at home in every sense of the word...
Jamie's t-shirt saying "you are my comfort food" really made my day😊😊😊
6:04 Nice to know Jamie is being catered to as well because HE WILL DEFINITELY use it in the future.
The bacon dust is brilliant in toasted cheese sandwiches. I got a present of one and love it
I liked the comparison of the grapes with some candies. Noone is surprised to pay that kind of price for hand made pralines, and that is the closest I can come to what you were saying about the grapes.
Just came back from a medical appointment! This is just what i needed! Thanks For this Guys! Spaff's House next please
Love everything you Do guys! You're such a wonderful, bright and amazing Tam! You're so meticulous and energetic about all you do! and it truly warms my hearth! your content really helps put things into perspective for me thanks to how cheerful it is and my hearth just melts! Your content is a breath of fresh air guys!
The gin reminded me of some oyster gin that I found in Bute in Scotland. It was made using oyster shells, not sure if it was pretentious but it was lovely!
The oyster gin from Bute is really nice. If you fancy something similar but different, try Crosskirk Bay gin from Caithness. One of the botanicals is pine from a family Christmas tree they planted out years ago. But it's made so close to the sea, that you get that slight salty minerality from it. It immediately became the favourite gin in our house. 🍸🍸Cin-Cin!
I was just thinking about how its been a while since pretentious ingredients and my prayers were answered
Local wine, BBQ rub, mutant grapes, & crayfish the Brits are becoming Cajun😂
I wonder if we can do a pretentious chocolate episode but all bought at supermarkets and not specialty stores??
Awesome episode and good to see Barry at home hosting the episode
Anyone else see the rarely spotted Robo Lawnmover? The unsung hero ;) Love the episode as always guys!
Loveee the new guest! We’d love to see her again sometime on the channel 🧡
weird I was just watching an old episode of Pretentious Ingredients when i finished this was here waiting for me like magic.
Love it when that happens :)
Seeing the baby instantly brought me to KimonoMom and now I want an chaotic episode like pass it on with all of you bringing your baby to add a whole new level of chaos to make it sorted food.
Yes, cats, dogs and inanimate objects can be classified as a baby. As long as its disruptive to your normal way of cooking ^.^
This would be hilarious and total chaos! 😂
Haha the "Ebbers...." from Barry at 20:15 was so involuntary! The business owner/partner came to the forefront in a hurry there!
Video idea give them two cheap or own brand products ask them which one tastes premium
But don't tell them during the episode, only at the very end when they've given all of their answers.
Don't they already do that with pick the premium
they did this a while ago
@@RegailionBut the poster said no premium
@@Regailion yes, but what is when there is no or only premium option
20:46 playing with (expensive) food? Dad-Mode activated 😂
That bundle of grapes look divine. 😮 Also love to see tid bits of your home life. It was very cute! I cannot wait to see your new studio!
Welcome to the Sorted family Sienna! ❤
The keeping secret on the new studio..😂😂😂😂 Ngl i actually felt for it in the thumbnail thinking this was the big reveal episode..
Love the Sienna introduction! She's adorable! I just hope that Hayley got a glass of that sparkling wine! 😂
5:38 the way both Sienna and Jamie laughed 😂
Pretentiousness level: Japanese fruits. I've seen a video once about the Japanese exquisite fruits - it's the separate world: farms, auctions and special shops where you buy these fruits as a gift or even a reward. It's like a sport that went from casual to professional - think professional golf or equestrian sports - different expectations and definitely different price level than your casual fruit market.
Barry is as Pretentious as his House damn 😂😂 All love guys ❤
The wine is not pretentious. It is special, precious, and local to GB. If I could buy it, I would.🤗They are doing wonderful things.
And I don't even find it THAT expensive for a bottle that takes five years to make comming in lovely packaging.
Just did buy the gift set shown. (Though Sorted gave the price for the gift set with a heavy card gift box. The one shown, with engraved bottle, handwritten card & personalised oak box is £71, which is still good value). Hopefully my friend will be happy with it for Christmas. 🍾
Every time Jamie calls smoked paprika "smokey P", a fairy loses it's wings.
Mmmmmh smoked fairy wing 🦋🍗
Even during family time the guys are working hard! Keep it up😅😅😅
🥓Barry talking about "facon" made me think back to the mid-ish 90's. I'd moved to Glasgow & went out for a drink with friends. We started off at "The 13ᵀᴴ Note" which often had live music on as well as a veggie/vegan cafe during the day. I hadn't really heard of fake-meats at this point, but I was told to get the vegetarian bacon roll. The bacon looked weird, white & red, clearly defined blocky stripes. Like someone was representing bacon with Lego & an early emoji. But Wow it tasted good. It became a thing for even dedicated meat eaters to visit their vegetarian/vegan cafe just to eat one of their BLT's made with the "weird bacon" it was so good.🥓
After watching this episode I can say...Barry with his rings makes me think he is a goofy Mage in a Anime fantasy. Jamie would be the bulky warrior. Ebbers would be a Wizard. This would not be a normal fantasy adventure but a cook off adventure. Dungeon crawling for rare meats and ingredients.
no, Jamie would be the Bard. Mike a wood elf. James would be a giant of the north. Now Kush I would say would be a jester gremlin
So.. Dungeon Meshi?
Does Ebbers travel everywhere with his cloche? 😂
7:19 not sure if these are pretentious but the way Ben said wonderful sure as hell was
1 - Having seen something recently, I'm curious if we're going to get a few more "outside the studio" episodes.
2 - Yes we need an episode at Jamie's house, and Mike's, and Ben's flat, and Kush's place.
3 - Pretentious to me is "I'm going to buy this to impress people with the rarity/price/whatever" so those grapes are, the rest aren't, even the fully custom wine as that's a gift not a "look at me" thing.
4 - Can't wait to see what the thing I saw that led to #1 is unveiled.
For the cray cray gin, the question should've been "Is it cray or is it crayt?" XD
I'm Canadian, and our national cocktail, the Caesar, is mostly Clamato juice, so I don't find the idea of a seafood liqueur that off-putting. I bet this stuff would make a really good Caesar.
I have serious kitchen envy now. Fortunately, redoing my kitchen is on my list for the next couple of years... just have to keep saving up!
id say a baby is quite pretentious in this economy
That is a gigantic American-style kitchen there 😮 Empty clean white counter tops and flowers? Must be a beautiful house
The place of the Prince of pretentious! Perfect location For this🎉🎉
Almost got it right
Love seeing some English Sparkeling on the channel, more of this please!
I loved the cameo of Barry's baby girl... utterly adorable ❤❤❤❤ I think we need more videos with the cute Sorted Food kids😊❤❤
an extremely adorable guest in house and a pretentious little guest out the window
Hattingley is doing super well in Norway, they bubblies are absolutely amazing
Oooh, good to know. I might have to see if I can find some.
The rice paper “bacon” with the baconizer! Both things I’ve never had but sound great!
The marble countertop makes for a perfect backdrop.
Jamie nailed it on the wine. Pretentious continues to be a really simple test for me - is this up its own arse? Completely independent of price point or quality. Yes or no, job’s done. 😂
These grapes are added onto the list of things I must try before I die. Right with the Musk Mellon.
7:51 in that framing and lighting Jamie looks like he’s in a documentary about something very serious.
'GRAPES'... A great way to give Barry a heart-attack!😂
Speaking of pretentious, love that roomba lawnmower Barry. Also, the young Sous Chef is precious. The artisan fruit in Japan is so exspensive but very good.
LMAO.. course Barry would have a robot mower XD
We absolutely need more Japanese fruit gifts. Their sun mangoes are insane
Can we call Barry’s robot lawn mower pretentious?
Kidding. I’m jealous.
I’ve spent so long wondering who Barry looks like and it finally came to me, beavo 😂
How is that olive tree so happy indoors? It's magnificent 🤩
I assumed it was fake. 😅
The auto lawn mower in the back is sooo Barry !!!
Definitely VERY Barry 😆
I just love Barry!!
I would honestly put that "Baconizer" dust on some vanilla ice cream
@@functionSam Add some shavings of chilli dark chocolate and caramel sauce if you wanna be really poncey about it lol
We need a Pretentious test where an item is hyped but the whole episode is a fake-out. Everything is just fake basic-cheap crap fluffed up to look pretentious or subbed out for an actual pretentious item. So instead a very special wine, it's just a label swap to some dollarstore boxed wine.
It'd be interesting to see if anyone caught on at all until the reveal in the end.
Ah, I indeed hoped for a pretentious ep for Barry to make up for that Remote Controlled chaos, and here it is. Dang those are some great items. Fun ep. The baby rump sniff!! SO CUTE!!!! LOL dude been there, done that, didn't always have the nope, not here though. What a sweetie.
I played with craw fish as a child. Never have eaten one. Never killed one. Just tried to catch them without getting pinched. Random creeks, USA.
Barry is such a dork with the grapes 🤣
Knowing that there'd be a video uploaded today was the strength I needed to get through a very long day
Missed the chance for "How much would you shell out for a nip of crayfish gin?"
17:54 Sounds like they are growing something else 😂😂😂
I loved this, and I loved all the local ones! It would be cool for you guys to do a series of similar videos showing off local creators from around the UK!
Food: Not pretentious
Baby: Precious
Lawn Roomba: pretentious but dont tell anybody I'm here 😅
Barrys Kitchen is exactly what I imagined it would be.
Pretentious Ingredients, always good fun.
ENJOY 😀
@@SortedFood I did, thank you.
I think Barry looked at the grapes with more love than he did the baby 🤣
Would love to see you guys try Korean fruit
