WHAAAATTTT!!! I'm from Micronesia, I never thought I'd see my country being represented anywhere on the Internet, and even less on my favourite channel! :O
Those black nitrile gloves are what I use in the kitchen. They are mechanic's gloves, so they are double thickness, so they don't tear while you are working. I use them when I am working with chilis, because you can take them off before you touch your eyes or if you are a man, aim at the ... um... toilet. You only make that mistake once.
Please do these more regularly, it’s by far the best video you do. Not to dump on the rest of them! But it’s so interesting. You’ll get to Z in about 6 years at this rate!
I think it takes time between episode because they first have to get suggestions from the audience, collate the suggestions, research them, figure out which is the best one for them to do on the channel, and gather the appropriate (and correct) ingredients. All that in between all the other video formats they're doing. It makes sense, in my mind, why it takes awhile for each of these to come out. A lot of the other videos they do are a lot easier to put together quickly, or with very little preparation time. For example with Pass it On, they just need to have their normal groceries and pantry items ready to go. But yes, on the whole I agree, and would love to see these come up more frequently! Absolutely one of my favorite formats of all the videos!
I totally understand (and also very much appreciate) that those videos take a lot of research and need much time to prepare etc. I just like them so much, and I would love to see more of them. Having said that: you are really taking too much time, to do those.Its a wonderful free channel, but viewers can still have expectations. And I also wish, that when you finally get to Z (which will hopefully not happen in many years), you will start again at "A". Because there are still so many countries, and so many interesting and strange and wonderful dishes to discover from them. P.S. When you get to "S", I really hope it will be Switzerland, "my" country. I am not on Instagram or Tiktok, so I wont be able to share what I wish you to cook then. I however know fully well what I would suggest. Can you tell me (and other people in my situation), what the best way is, to communicate with Sorted in this kind of situation ?
You were right about preparing it with gloves. It contains oxalate crystals which are super tiny and super sharp so that's why it's an irritant. They aren't exactly toxic like a chemical poison, just damaging like tiny glass fragments. Lots of plants have oxalate crystals and in my experience it's not that easy to get hurt just by handling them, but actually cutting them might require more handling than just barely touching a plant.
@@altejoh that is true, but you need a lot of oxalate in the diet for a prolonged period of time to actually cause kidney failure. It's not really a problem you encounter by handling the taro.
I was a little disappointed they didn't spend a minute to look it up, but they posted the video so presumably nobody died. 😊. Also, calcium oxalate is the type of kidney stones I get.
Love from Nepal, guys! I've been waiting for this moment since this series started! For our cuisine, since you've already done momo, I'd suggest: Dhido (a thick gloopy mound of dough served with curries, chutneys and meats) or yomari (rice dough stuffed with either sweet fillings or sometimes buffalo mince) or thukpa (tibetan-nepali soup noodles).
@@AlexinWales Sadly that goes for most Subcontinent dishes. We only get a very small selection which tastes almost the same in what ever restaurant you eat. There are so many exciting and inspirational dishes that we have never heard of.
Replying to @Radigalde Upvoted your comment. Yes they're reacting with extreme flexibility to viewer requests and opinions while continuing to maintain their integrity and commitment to quality!!!!
Yes, and the music isn't too loud this time too! Sometimes TH-cam videos get a little overboard with the music and you have to watch subs to see what they're really saying.
One detail about these episodes that I want to make sure does not get overlooked: You all wear your own clothing, to the extent that I recognize the same shirts on the same people over the span of different episodes, which not only adds to your charm, but also aligns with your values related to sustainability. Well done, boys!
Oh Nepal should be brilliant. I've been working my way through Nepalese chef, Santosh Shah's book "Ayla: A Feast of Nepali Dishes from Terai, Hills and the Himalayas" & its magic. Such tasty & accessible food. (He'd make a great guest on the show - Hint, hint)
@@bjdefilippo447 I don't know where you live, but in some of the more cosmopolitan cities, Nepalese food seems to be getting popular. So you may be able to get things in Asian supermarkets. Plus if prepared to pay a little extra you can get things online. Maybe I've been cherry-picking, but so far I've not had trouble getting ingredients, or good analogues of items from what I've cooked out of Santosh Shah's book so far.
Nice try guys. I am from Micronesia and you came really close but the coconut needs to be grated much finer while the taro needs to be a little bit firmer and chunkier. At least that's how it is here on Pohnpei. Then toped with fresh coconut cream. Overall great first try🎉
Once again, thank you for listening to your youtube viewers, and eliminating the sounds of the live audience. Additionally, the improved audio reducing the voluminous echo sound allows the focus of the action to seem friendly, intimate, and natural. If live audiences are to be a part of the new studio and adding a bit of spice and encouragement for the chefs and normals...great 👍. But thank you for editing them out for the post production 🙌 for youtube. Lives are special. Also...would seriously enjoy being able to buy or see years ago events. !!! Congrats again on the new set and growing into a huge success.
That sidekick ad was pure gold. I'm bit sorry Nigeria didn't get picked though! Considering how many Nigerians are living in the UK, and how little people generally know about the cuisine, would have been very interesting!
Maybe they could do a bunch of Nigerian dishes just because? It would be very interesting, and they'd probably be able to find all the ingredients locally instead of ordering anything in special!
You guys should definitely try creating a dish from Nepal’s Newar community. There are so many delicious foods, choila is my favorite. Being a Newar myself, I can guarantee you will love the taste of Newari foods. Can’t wait for another episode. Yay!!!
You probably won't read this, because you get way to many comments, but i really wanted to thank you for doing, what you're doing for so long. I first discovered this channel in 2012 i think, when i was just 13 years old and still learning english. I used to watch your videos all the time back then, but for some reason I stopped watching you for some time, only to be utterly delighted in rediscovering you and rewatching all those missed videos. Since then i have been enjoying every video and nowadays you have become a steady presence, especially when I cook or eat alone. So thank you for always being here ^_^
Been watching the Channel for about 2 months now and as an aspiring chef myself Ive learned so many things and had so much fun along the way. Proud to be a US subscriber
Welcome to the Sorted community!! I'm in the US as well, have been watching for about 5-6 years now, and have learned SO MUCH from these guys! They're just amazing, and hands down my favorite "food" channel! Either on TH-cam or anywhere else!
Interesting. Here in Scotland we have Scottish macaroons, made with 120g cooled mashed potato (1/2 cup), 450-500g icing, sugar (3 ½-4 cups). Which is then formed into bars/balls & can be covered with 300g dark chocolate (1 ¾ cups) & then rolled in 140g desiccated coconut (1 1/3 cups). Wonder how close they taste, though I like the idea of using coconut sugar.
@@BigDavie2000 😄 Aye tablet is tooth achingly sweet. Do like a wee square with a mug of tea or crumbling it through ice-cream. I used to always keep some in my emergency back in my bergen rather than the equally sweet & traditional Kendal Mint Cake. When you think about it the % of sugar is lower than things like boiled sweets & the aforementioned Kendal mint cake as the tatties bulk it out. (It's almost healthy! 😆)
My wife spent a year teaching English in the Marshall Islands and made these a few times for celebrations at schools. She said you all basically nailed it
How many outfit changes did Mike go through cooking that meal in Ben's flat? Good advert - but boy oh boy! Banana Man seems to have changed since giving up being a superhero! 🍌
I love Sorted food and the sidekick ad at end is hilariously good. The colors, lighting, playful and fun aspect of old kitchen doesn’t match up at new studio. But that doesn’t make these videos any less impressive.😊
I'm sitting here cleaning and prepping brussels sprouts and green beans for Thanksgiving, so I really appreciate having something fun to watch right now! Thanks guys!!
Funny. My parents generation would be putting the Brussels sprouts on to boil in time for Christmas about now! (I jest, but the did tend to boil them into submission). 😆
I used to think that “Pass it on” was my favourite format but I think this has surpassed it. I love learning about different cultures and the foods associated with them. Great job
I enjoy Sorted so much. All of these gentlemen with their growth. Watching Mike, Baz and Jaime continually being there for each other just warms the heart. Ben and Kush with their help and mentoring. Chef's kiss.
For Nepali cuisine, I highly recommend yomari - very unusual and delicious snack/dessert 😊 Personally, I'd also recommend such delicious Nepali snacks as: - selroti, - lakhamari - jerri 🙂
Fun Fact: Coconut palm sugar makes a *_FANTASTIC_* sweetener for coffee. Those treacly notes bring out dimensions of the coffee you can't get any other way, sweetening the beverage without being cloying. This simple trick changed my wife from being someone who called coffee "a waste of a perfectly good smell" into someone who drinks 12 cups a week. It's just that good.
It is absolutely delicious. I know of it through the Indonesian route, which is a quite popular cuisine here in the Netherlands. It's called Gula Jawa, Gula Djawa or Gula Kelapa (with Kelapa standing for coconut in Bahasa Indonesia). It's available around all the countries of South East Asia and the Pacific Islands with varying names.
might have wanted to point out that the red area on the map (0:38) covers more than just the country of (Federated States of) Micronesia. Palau, Marshall Islands, and Nauru are independent and there were islands and archipelagos belonging to the US and Kiribati there as well.
Yea the Federated States of Micronesia is four main islands (Pohnpei, Chuuk, Kosrae, and Yap). The other big islands on the map are separate from the FSM.
Hi boys! Hope this comment finds you well. It should be noted that Nepal has a whole variety of ethnic groups whose cuisine varies a whole lot, so it might be good to preface that whatever dish you make might not encompass Nepal as a whole As for a specific dish, I highly recommend aalum/alum. It is a traditional food of the Tamang minority that uses buckwheat or millet flour and spices. Whilst it isn’t a main dish in of itself, I’m sure that it could go wonderfully with a lot of other dishes that the community suggests
I just love this series. Thank you for each episode. Ben you are simply amazing figuring these recipes out each time. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am grateful for many things including finding this community. Enjoy an extra slice of everything!
I LOVE this series! I can't wait for each episode. I have a box of taro and now I know of something else to do with it and will try it. I'll be trying it with the rehydrating dessicated coconut in coconut milk/ water as Ben suggests as I don't have or have access to any fresh coconuts this time of year.
That tastes great! One of our favorites. And we have a fried version here too. Take the finished balls, dip in basic batter, and fry until golden. Tastes great too! Overcooked, fluffy edges of root vegetables? We fight for it!😂😂
Boo, where’s the coconut grater from hell, this was the perfect episode to use it, although it would probably have needed an ambulance on standby and mental therapy afterwards 🤣
I appreciated this video drop. Didn't watch it until Thanksgiving, but I needed it. I woke up missing my furry best friend who passed away almost 4 years ago. I'm starting to forget the memories we shared and that is just keeping the tears flowing this morning. Be able to laugh while cry while watching this video is the release I guess I needed. Hold your pets close. Happy Thanksgiving
I’ve been to different parts of Micronesia (Like Yap and Palau) over the years. One of my favorite places on our planet with some of the most lovely people you will ever meet!
Mike and Ebbers work together so harmoniously and bring a very different energy to the proceedings. Love the manic but this vibe is lovely as well. Keep it up boys! Lots of love from Seattle Washington in the North America
To touch on what Ben said about savoury sweet and not dessert sweet, I think Pacific Island countries have this type of dishes. We have it in the Philippines too and often the ingredients are similar (taro, casava, plantains, coconut, brown sugar, etc) and often wrapped in banana leaves. We normally eat them as afternoon snacks or pre/light breakfast snacks with tsokolate or coffee, but of course you can eat them for dessert too. I would describe them as umami sweet.
One of my best friends growing up was a samoan, and she used to make a lot of real nice taro-based dishes. I found Taro is exceptionally nutty in flavour, but nothing else going on for it, so basically tasted like eating hardened peanut or cashew butter. BEST served with fruit or, in this case, coconut, to add some nice sweetness into it. Also, side note- Micronesia *probably* pronounces the "U" like "ooh" rather than "you" as their vowels, as with all austronesian languages, are "A-Eh-Ee-Awe-Ooh" rather than "Ae-Ee-Ai-Oh-You"
am i the only one who wants googly eyes on those round bits of the vents?? love these videos, always so fun seeing Ben puzzle out the cooking techniques.
Can't wait until you get to "O" - there's literally just the one country (Oman) haha. I'm from there and feel free to reach out if you need some local insights!
I WAS CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR IT TO BE NEPAL T_T. Although now that I think about it, there's way too many options to pick a dish from. I think Yomari is a fun dish for the team to attempt. It originates from the "Newari" tribe, the indigenous people of Kathmandu (the capital). It is not terribly difficult to make, but going blind with limited instructions... it works for great content ;) Yomari is a steamed [redacted] with a filling of sweet ingredient 'Chhaku' (made from jaggery or molasses or palm sugar). There are also other fillings as options, so go crazy.
The ad at the end was brilliant 😂 reminds me of when sorted did the bloopers at the end of the video, I miss those alot. But fantastic video guys 😁 can't wait to see what you do next.
Hey, regular viewer here. 1st please note that its always Momo not Momos.😃 About nepali cuisine i would like to recommend few dishes that can be really interesting for the guys to make. - Laphing - Haku choila - Sapumicha - Yomari - Chatamari 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵 Very excited for the next episode. Good luck Sorted team👍
I recently discovered these amazing guys! I love it and it has made me think about food waste. Today while I was preparing thanksgiving dinner I saved so much for my turkey soup!! I never would have thought about that without this amazing channel!!! Thanks!
Lol you can certainly prepare taro with bare hands. You dont want to eat it raw however, as its mildly poisonous in its raw form. It, along with breadfruit and rice are THE common starches all over the pacific. Its usually steamed or boiled or it can be baked in umu(earth ovens) and its often finished with coconut cream. The sticky stuff is coconut palm sugar at a guess(yep thought so) In Samoa which is POLYnesia a favourite dish is taro with onions in coconut cream. Taro, cooked then fried makes great chips btw.
Okay Mike's slow-mo screaming was funny enough, but the mini Super Sorted Ben had me rolllinggg haha 😆 Great promo! Also lighting in the new studio looks great by the way, well done!
Ben in spandex was not on my bingo card…also since everyone seems to be hating on the new studio, I will say I like it although the brick was a bit more my aesthetic
I don't think that word means what you think it means. Also, Ben looked like the supervillain in a low budget food-themed straight-to-Disney-Plus animation.
not sure if i'm imagining it, but the purple lighting in the background really solved the "white, clinical" vibes i think a lot of us were getting early on. thank you! also, love this series!!
although the new studio is spacious and cool, i still do think it's missing some of the coziness from older vids, and instead imparting a lack of personality/warmth. keep it up!
@@Getpojke Nice idea ! His super powers (besides being a great chef) are always having latex gloves and silicon baking forms in ridiculous shapes at hand ;-).
It's nice seeing a dish from my side of the ocean on the show! But a minor correction, Micronesia is the name of the region, the Federated States of Micronesia is one of the countries. Micronesia is located closer to Asia in the Pacific Ocean. There's a variety of different European explorers who have influenced each nation's history.
This was such a great episode! I started using coconut palm sugar in my daily coffee a couple of years ago, and the taste is noticeably much more complex. Highly recommend swapping it in for other sugars for drinks, it's also been really delicious in matcha too.
WHAAAATTTT!!! I'm from Micronesia, I never thought I'd see my country being represented anywhere on the Internet, and even less on my favourite channel! :O

Would these be good with like a good tamarind dipping sauce?
@@SortedFood Followed by the commercial for their app with Ben's piercing nipples coming through the super hero outfit in the first couple seconds.
How did they do?
Where's that coconut shredder guys? Cue: James screaming.

I kinda hope they hid it in the walls of the old studio when they moved out. Some guy renovating that space in 20 years is going to be so baffled...
😂😂😂
Didn't they break it in a previous video?
If they didn’t break it it definitely broke them 😂😂
Ben having a pair of black latex gloves in his back pocket at all times is the most Ben thing imaginable
Such an Ebbers thing to have 😂
@@SortedFood Ebbers EDC video? :D

It's such a cheffy thing. :)
Those black nitrile gloves are what I use in the kitchen. They are mechanic's gloves, so they are double thickness, so they don't tear while you are working. I use them when I am working with chilis, because you can take them off before you touch your eyes or if you are a man, aim at the ... um... toilet. You only make that mistake once.

Boys, this series is consistently one of my favourites that you do! When you get to Z, can you PLEASE just start all over again from A?
I hope they keep going until they've made one recipe from every country on earth. That would be a significant and meaningful accomplishment.
each time they go around, they remove the countries they've already done until there's no more left! that would be cool!

So good, right? I discovered this accidentally not long ago and now I’m hooked. Absolutely delicious!
It is absolutely delicious. I know of it through the Indonesian route, which is a quite popular cuisine here in the Netherlands. It's called Gula Jawa, Gula Djawa or Gula Kelapa (with Kelapa standing for coconut in Bahasa Indonesia). It's available around all the countries of South East Asia and the Pacific Islands with varying names.
might have wanted to point out that the red area on the map (0:38) covers more than just the country of (Federated States of) Micronesia. Palau, Marshall Islands, and Nauru are independent and there were islands and archipelagos belonging to the US and Kiribati there as well.
Yea the Federated States of Micronesia is four main islands (Pohnpei, Chuuk, Kosrae, and Yap). The other big islands on the map are separate from the FSM.
Yup, Micronesia the region is not identical with the Federated states of Micronesia the country.
Hi boys! Hope this comment finds you well.
It should be noted that Nepal has a whole variety of ethnic groups whose cuisine varies a whole lot, so it might be good to preface that whatever dish you make might not encompass Nepal as a whole
As for a specific dish, I highly recommend aalum/alum. It is a traditional food of the Tamang minority that uses buckwheat or millet flour and spices. Whilst it isn’t a main dish in of itself, I’m sure that it could go wonderfully with a lot of other dishes that the community suggests
I just love this series. Thank you for each episode. Ben you are simply amazing figuring these recipes out each time.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am grateful for many things including finding this community. Enjoy an extra slice of everything!
I LOVE this series! I can't wait for each episode. I have a box of taro and now I know of something else to do with it and will try it. I'll be trying it with the rehydrating dessicated coconut in coconut milk/ water as Ben suggests as I don't have or have access to any fresh coconuts this time of year.
Came for the Challenge, stayed for the SIdekick Ad at the end! Brilliant! :D
haha the minute they said it was a mashed potato texture i was like "oh, like sweet potato from Japan." good catch, Ben.
Awww, ive been waiting hoping for New Zealand this whole series 😂 Thats okay, I also love learning about new foods!
That tastes great! One of our favorites. And we have a fried version here too. Take the finished balls, dip in basic batter, and fry until golden. Tastes great too!
Overcooked, fluffy edges of root vegetables? We fight for it!😂😂
Boo, where’s the coconut grater from hell, this was the perfect episode to use it, although it would probably have needed an ambulance on standby and mental therapy afterwards 🤣
That was the first episode I watched. TH-cam algorithm thought I would like it !!! Been a fan ever since 😂
@@justjane2070 Same for me! That insane Coconut terror is what got me to dive fully into these guys!
I appreciated this video drop. Didn't watch it until Thanksgiving, but I needed it. I woke up missing my furry best friend who passed away almost 4 years ago. I'm starting to forget the memories we shared and that is just keeping the tears flowing this morning. Be able to laugh while cry while watching this video is the release I guess I needed. Hold your pets close. Happy Thanksgiving
I don’t think I could name one dish for this country, so this video will be educational and entertaining! Love it!
LOVE this series! Never got tired of it
My favorite series, thank you so much for it. I know nothing of Micronesia (just the location), so thats going to be interesting.
Enjoy!
It is a neat place. 10/10 would recommend.
I’ve been to different parts of Micronesia (Like Yap and Palau) over the years. One of my favorite places on our planet with some of the most lovely people you will ever meet!
I absolutely love this series! I always come away feeling like I've learned something.
Watched this again and it’s still great!
Mike and Ebbers work together so harmoniously and bring a very different energy to the proceedings. Love the manic but this vibe is lovely as well. Keep it up boys! Lots of love from Seattle Washington in the North America
SORTEDMAN! Angels and ministers of grace defend us.
BEN'S COSTUME WAS GREAT!!! I REALLY NEEDED A BIT OF BEN'S NIPPLES TO MOVE MY DAY ALONG LOL!!!
I love Mike trying something new and it's always, this is fantastic :)
To touch on what Ben said about savoury sweet and not dessert sweet, I think Pacific Island countries have this type of dishes. We have it in the Philippines too and often the ingredients are similar (taro, casava, plantains, coconut, brown sugar, etc) and often wrapped in banana leaves. We normally eat them as afternoon snacks or pre/light breakfast snacks with tsokolate or coffee, but of course you can eat them for dessert too. I would describe them as umami sweet.
One of my best friends growing up was a samoan, and she used to make a lot of real nice taro-based dishes.
I found Taro is exceptionally nutty in flavour, but nothing else going on for it, so basically tasted like eating hardened peanut or cashew butter.
BEST served with fruit or, in this case, coconut, to add some nice sweetness into it.
Also, side note- Micronesia *probably* pronounces the "U" like "ooh" rather than "you" as their vowels, as with all austronesian languages, are "A-Eh-Ee-Awe-Ooh" rather than "Ae-Ee-Ai-Oh-You"
I guessed coconut sugar as I've been using it as my only sugar for years now. Delicious!
A Nepalese dish I've been enjoying recently is Laphing. A cold spicy noodle dish that has unfurlable noodle coils.
That last part was hilarious! Just brilliant!🤣😂🤣
My favorite series from You guys! Know Nothing of the place so is always a treat to learn more with you all
am i the only one who wants googly eyes on those round bits of the vents?? love these videos, always so fun seeing Ben puzzle out the cooking techniques.
@18:35 I hope those costumes were washed between shares, ebbers looked exceptionally cold in his!
Can't wait until you get to "O" - there's literally just the one country (Oman) haha. I'm from there and feel free to reach out if you need some local insights!
I WAS CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR IT TO BE NEPAL T_T. Although now that I think about it, there's way too many options to pick a dish from.
I think Yomari is a fun dish for the team to attempt. It originates from the "Newari" tribe, the indigenous people of Kathmandu (the capital). It is not terribly difficult to make, but going blind with limited instructions... it works for great content ;)
Yomari is a steamed [redacted] with a filling of sweet ingredient 'Chhaku' (made from jaggery or molasses or palm sugar). There are also other fillings as options, so go crazy.
Thanks so much for the suggestions, we really appreciate it 😁
The ad at the end was brilliant 😂 reminds me of when sorted did the bloopers at the end of the video, I miss those alot. But fantastic video guys 😁 can't wait to see what you do next.
I do enjoy this series, it's fun to watch the team figure out how the dish is supposed to be made.
Mike, maybe consider leaving the hat at home.
I love this series ... THAT AD AT THE END, THOUGH! You are HILARIOUS!

🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Very excited for the next episode. Good luck Sorted team👍
The mystery international dish series is terrific! More please . . . LOL ending. 😅
I recently discovered these amazing guys! I love it and it has made me think about food waste. Today while I was preparing thanksgiving dinner I saved so much for my turkey soup!! I never would have thought about that without this amazing channel!!! Thanks!
Lol you can certainly prepare taro with bare hands. You dont want to eat it raw however, as its mildly poisonous in its raw form. It, along with breadfruit and rice are THE common starches all over the pacific. Its usually steamed or boiled or it can be baked in umu(earth ovens) and its often finished with coconut cream. The sticky stuff is coconut palm sugar at a guess(yep thought so) In Samoa which is POLYnesia a favourite dish is taro with onions in coconut cream. Taro, cooked then fried makes great chips btw.
Okay Mike's slow-mo screaming was funny enough, but the mini Super Sorted Ben had me rolllinggg haha 😆 Great promo! Also lighting in the new studio looks great by the way, well done!
Sidekick commercial is brilliant XD Ben's kitchen is looking great hehe. can we get bloopers??
Ben in spandex was not on my bingo card…also since everyone seems to be hating on the new studio, I will say I like it although the brick was a bit more my aesthetic
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Also, Ben looked like the supervillain in a low budget food-themed straight-to-Disney-Plus animation.
@ typo…fixed
@@MisNorm98 Sorry to be 'that guy', but sometimes they're just too perfect to ignore.
The sidekick advertisement at the end was brilliant. So funny 😆
not sure if i'm imagining it, but the purple lighting in the background really solved the "white, clinical" vibes i think a lot of us were getting early on. thank you! also, love this series!!
although the new studio is spacious and cool, i still do think it's missing some of the coziness from older vids, and instead imparting a lack of personality/warmth. keep it up!
Really? To me that cold colour light is making it worse.
This is my favorite series! Also, well done on the Sidekick ad - it was delightful.
Please, when you reach Z, start all over and do the alphabet again, so we can get more countries!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
OMG that costume!
You are funny silly. Love everyone.
Hugs from Sweden
Respectfully, one of the M options should have been 'Merica.
I absolutely love this series. This was amazing but the ad for sidekick at the end was just amazing.
The sidekick commercial is really amazing ! We need a super hero name for Ben. Any suggestions ?
So glad you enjoyed it 😁
How about "Benana Man" 😆
@@Getpojke Nice idea ! His super powers (besides being a great chef) are always having latex gloves and silicon baking forms in ridiculous shapes at hand ;-).
I'm pretty sure the point is that he is the Sorted Sidekick, and you/the user become the hero through cookery
In the state of Maine, USA we have a traditional candy called a Needham that is made of potato and coconut. They are covered in chocolate.
Looking forward to this, don't know a lot about Micronesia.
It's nice seeing a dish from my side of the ocean on the show! But a minor correction, Micronesia is the name of the region, the Federated States of Micronesia is one of the countries. Micronesia is located closer to Asia in the Pacific Ocean. There's a variety of different European explorers who have influenced each nation's history.
That's a wonderful ad, I wouldn't mind seeing it in a cinema :)
Whoever chose Ben's costume deserves a raise, it reminds me of something I'd see on Good Eats 🤣🤣
Absolutely stonking effort on the Sidekick Ad
This was such a great episode! I started using coconut palm sugar in my daily coffee a couple of years ago, and the taste is noticeably much more complex. Highly recommend swapping it in for other sugars for drinks, it's also been really delicious in matcha too.
So glad I stuck around till the end!!!!! Love the series.
Love the vid and love the ad at the end - awesome !!!! :-)
Yay!!! My favorite series!
Oh my goodness!! I LOVE the Sidekick ad at the end!! Too funny! 😂 😂 Great job on the Uter boys. Spot on. 😊 I love these videos so much.
