Barry: protests being called "King of Pretentious"
Fanbase: campaigning to have this series renamed "Taste Testing Barry's Kitchen"
LOLLLL can you imagine? 😂
@@SortedFood Taste Testing Barry's Kitchen (formerly pretentious ingredients) might be my favorite series, but I'd love one where the chefs show off their kitchens and then rate a normal's kitchen.
They should make an episode where they legitimately just taste things from Barry's kitchen and the whoever's tasting isn't told it all comes from Barry's kitchen.
@@lNFINlTEx OH Please. James and Ebers trick Barry and leaving and Jamie & Mike raid his kitchen. Just that would be so funny!!
@@SortedFood I 1000% disagree. It takes a village. I could never choose, you are all so important, and vital to the show!
Barry: What’s in eggnog that turns it yellow?
James: eggs
The deadpan delivery makes it 😂😂😂😂😂
It's almost as good at his "Egg white omelette!?!?" comment
“Do rocks burn?”
ded 😂😂😂
They need to edit that into the intro of every video somehow
Barry got Eric Lanlarded!!!!! 😂
Title: Pretentious Ingredients
Barry: Oh what a quaint little stocking stuffer
HAHAHA
Never heard Barry described as that before but I get it.
“Their champagne truffles are excellent. I used to get them in my stocking from my granny.”
James, I think you dropped this 👑
😂 total Jokes. Mysterious James slipping up.
Barry uses or has used sea salt in pasta water, because he thinks it's fancier. That crown ain't coming off, ever.
@@BeardedDanishViking fancier? Sea salt is pleb stuff here (mediterranean). Rock salt is the pretentious one.
@@majacovic5141 But Barry doesn't live in the mediterranean. So that's irrelevant ;)
@@BeardedDanishViking I know, its just so weird to hear that.
Can’t wait to see how many of the ingredients Barry already owns
There has got to be a few right?
Yes we need a tour of Barry’s kitchen
this made me giggle
I vote for a video of raiding Barry's kitchen to see what he has. 😱 😂 🤣
Do a pass it on special with pretentious ingredients from Barry's pantry
James's face when Barry asks what makes eggnog yellow reminds me so much of my customer service days, when a caller would ask me a question and I'd just think "There is no way for me to answer this without implying this person's an idiot."
I was working in a store that specialises in leather products, like bags, belts etc. I got a call once to ask if the leather was vegan. It was very hard not to reply saying that the cows that the leather is from are probably vegan.
Ahhh, yes. That careful dodge while sweating the inevitable complaint to head office
Former tech customer support and no joke the number of times they'd just not turned it on or plugged it in....
Its better when you figure out how to answer and they sit there in confusion because they didn't get to yell at you.
@@elariel01 I worked for Comcast tech support when they first released the 'wireless' cable box. The amount of people that complained they still had to plug in the HDMI cable and power cable was so infuriating.
Ben eating the "christmas pudding" gives me very "I'm not mad, just disappointed" energy, hahaha
lmfao
Wait, when was he eating Christmas pudding? Seen him eat some truffels, coal and last but not least a tasty not-christmas cake while enjoying a Sherry.
@@LeSqueed that's why i put the quotation marks " " and wrote "christmas pudding" lol~
Idk what Christmas pudding is but after Ben’s reaction, I also felt offended about that Christmas cake 😭
He had the exact aura of a school teacher who delivers the same spiel that starts along the lines of in my 15 years of teaching because his class were feral for the substitute teacher the lesson beforehand 😂😂
Whenever I see ‘Pretentious Ingredients’ in the title my brain just goes:
“Ooh, let’s see what Barry’s shopping list says this week.’
Pahahaha, brilliant!
“King of pretentious”
“When did I get that crown”
Barry if you don’t know by now then we cannot help you
Bet it was "Rose Gold" too!
Looks like the crown kept the king down to earth.
Its less a crown...more a tiara
Everyone: Sherry is for the older generation.
Mike in his grandmothers sweater: I quite like it.
When your phone notifies you of a sorted video, but you're already watching
Such a good feeling 😉
okay how did sorted reply before the comment was posted
hahah me too!
@@SortedFood oi i'll scrap you
Barry: “what in eggnog makes it yellow?”
James: “........eggs”
i was just about to comment that :D
If there ever was a time for 🤦♀️this emoji and SMH ... Barry just clinched it
The funny thing is he accidentally almost said "egg yolk" instead of "eggnog". Like his subcouncious knew he was being dumb.
To be fair, many eggnogs you can buy in a store use yellow dye.
@@JanPospisilArt you can buy eggnog in a store? Isn't it just sugar, eggs and rum, shaken or whipped?
Today in "things we found in Barry's kitchen"
Haha, brilliant.
The most pretentious thing in this video is Barry saying "I'm expecting a journey" and the least pretentious thing is Mike's wholesome excitement about the pudding.
Honestly I really miss dad joke of the week, petition to bring it back?
Maybe Janice can narrate at the end but the classic ebbers/Jamie duo would b fab too
I know! I miss Dad Joke of the Week!!!!
#BringBackDJotW !!
Being Hispanic and a fluent Spanish speaker, I appreciate Mike’s “sorry” after attempting to read that Sherry lol.
"Sherry for the older generation"
...Sherriatric?
Brilliant 😂
Seriously though, such varieties of sherry, which basically taste of liquid raisin, are excellent with very aged cheeses. I think it's brilliant with some 3-yo or 4-yo Gouda, where you get some crystals forming inside the cheese, or of course a nicely aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
@@BenjaminBroekhuizen Great, have a seat in this here rocking chair, next to Old Man Spafford xD
Can see now Baz tucking himself into bed, closing his eyes and saying to himself "you ARE magnificent, pudding said so!"
I can't get over how into Christmas pudding Ebbers is to the point where putting in his favourite things like gin and plums spoils the whole thing for him
Ongoing petition for Drunk Chefs remote control sober normals.
This can go both ways lol
If your middle name is Alastair, obviously your Grandmother has give you Champagne Truffles!
Wow, if that was my middle name, I'd have everyone call me that.
How about a Christmas Special "Pass It On" with left over Turkey being the main hero?
I could use this! XD
Leftover recipes in general are a very good idea.
Maybe first a lovely chaotic PIO and then a calm, informative and slightly sassy Ben's instructional.
Not even 2 minutes in and Barry is being Barry and james is being sassy. Again. Love the hell out of you guys
And Mike being wholesome, as always!
I can't love enough Ben's excitement for Christmas and his affinity for the novelty. I could listen to the nerdiness all day! I love it when he's one of the raters.
Barry: Naughty isn’t it?
James: oooh drawstring
Barry: you know what I’m talking about 😜
Mikes face = priceless 😂😂
That was a pretty steamy moment there!!
That was definitely a fan fiction moment
@MB hahaha .. welcome to dark side 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike's face!! hahaha
Is it weird that I was more happy seeing Mike wear cardigans again? 🤔😅
Would that be his sherry drinking cardigan do you think?
@@Getpojke I'd hope that one is a dark burgundy. You know, in case of spills.
At this point, any time I hear "Fortnum and Mason," I automatically yell "PRETENTIOUS!" in my head.
only place to get Fortnum and Mason in the US is at William Sonoma, their Xmas catalogue is also pretentious as hell. But I do like most of their stuff... oh dear I am pretentious...
@@mixeddrinks8100 Checked it out. The FandM Christmas pudding is $100.00!!
@@melissalambert7615 yea I saw as well, cheaper to get it in the UK ehh hahaha
@@mixeddrinks8100 Ben didn't like it anyway so I'm not getting it -- ha, ha.
I was just thinking that I only know this brand because of how often it features on this series 😂
Ben’s hat is a cross between Naughty Elf and Innuendo-based Medieval Era Court Jester.
“Ingredients from Barry’s kitchen”
“Ingredients that annoys Jamie”
The "coal" is hilarious, plus great for landscaping around your gingerbread house.
How about a test of "instants" - coffee, pudding (what we call it in the US), soup, etc.
Instants would be a great taste test! Maybe with the "real deal" to compare?
This is a great idea!
SMASH
pudding what we call it everywhere except UK
Of course, Mike likes sherry, he's wearing the grandma cardigan again. Love you guys and love the Christmas episodes can't wait for more!
That is the same as my grandpa’s cardigan. Though truthfully I would gladly wear it, as it looks cozy. I have borrowed grandpa’s since I was small.
And he delights in afterwards tea.
Thanks for making this feel like a regular holiday season despite such a challenging year! I always look forward to Sorted's holiday content! Love you all!
Thank you! We're trying to spread a bit of Christmas cheer 😀
@@SortedFood thank you, truly appreciated 🙏
Yessss!
These videos have made quarantine so much more bearable, I just wanted to say thanks to all of the SORTED team.
never thought I'd love to see the day when the boys would review coal. Life really is full of surprises
We never thought we would review coal either! How times change 😂
@@SortedFood That'd be a good summer Sorted comparison. Different barbecue charcoal and does it make a difference to the flavour of the food in a straight up comparison?
2020!
Mike: is sherry just for the older generation? because I love a sherry
Also Mike: wearing granny sweaters!
Top marks for the Monty Python reference when describing After Eight mints. Mr Creosote would approve.
Finally! I had to scroll for ages to find someone else who appreciates the Mr Creosote sketch
As pretentious as we all know Barry is, it's always great to remember that James is also a posh prince
Mike has the best “I’m listening and interested in what you have to say” face
Just Teacher Mike things
So true! Always a special moment.
Resting interested face
An After Eight is a chocolaty mint you eat whenever you feel like it because it is always after 8 :P
Is that the chocolate equivalent of its 5 o'clock somewhere?
@@TheCRAZYAunt128 Pretty much. :D
I literally never had them as an digestife after dessert.
Eating them whenever, and emptying a whole box in one day more often than once in my life...
@@christianstorms3950 Know that feeling. :D
My Christmas begins when Sorted videos start with these background Christmas-y jingles!!
Who'd have thought I'd ever say "I'd want coal for Christmas?" coz yeah I want that coal
😂 it was some great tasting coal to be fair!
😂 it was some great tasting coal to be fair!
@@SortedFood So good they said it twice!
@@SortedFood as a true sorted fan, I shall like both comments. Hope the numbers will always be equal 😂
@@limaman7262 unfortunately, it was not to be
Honestly, none of these seem pretentious to me. Just high quality.
The most pretentious thing being Ben acting as christmas pudding police.
I want Ben screaming TWENTYTWOPOUNDFIFTY to be my next ringtone
Hahaha what a ringtone! Are you sure about this?
American here. Always confused at first when you guys say "Pudding" because that's really something different over here.
Here 'pudding' stems from anything that's steamed. Or it's an alternate word for 'dessert'. Me and my american partner joke that in the UK anything can be a pudding and in USA anything can be a casserole!
Sitting in an isolation room in the emergency room being tested for covid and my boys are here to keep my company! Cheers boys! Stay safe!
Hope you are negative. Feel better
I keep my fingers crossed that it isn't. Stay safe.
Thank you!
I’m sorry. Feel better.
I hope that your tests come back negative and that you feel better soon.
I dont think im EVER going to forget the time they served xmas cheese to mike and he ACTUALLY ENJOYED THEM, the absolute madman.
Favourite sorted moment, HANDS DOWN
Speaking of which, im going to rewatch that video
“It’s time for my Manuka.” makes more sense now that Michael Brian Huttlestone mentioned he goes to buy it.
I have never wanted to try something on this channel more than the coal and I've wanted to try a lot on this channel.
Was the most interesting for me as well. Out of stock and even if it was in stock, the cost of international shipping is quite high.
@@CelticUchuu Try William Sonoma, got quite a few of the Fortnam stuff at there, I have a friend who grew up in UK, and every year we get them something from this brand and he absolutely loves it.
It's a bit tricky, but you can make it at home! Mine didn't come out extremely pretty, but since it was meant to look like coal it didn't fare too badly... The only problem I've found is that I've never seen sherbet dust outside of the UK, but I substituted pop rocks for that, and that gave everyone a kick 🤭🤭
Basic recipe is, make the sorted food daim bar recipe (but add some black food colouring to the chocolate if you're not using the charcoal), and instead of bars make it all odd-shapey, let dry, then mist with a tiny bit of oil/butter spray, then quickly coat each piece with some sherbet powder/pop rocks (you can mix some charcoal into the pop rocks, but this gives a weird sensation in the mouth, so I recommend the food colour in the chocolate), and let it rest in a switched off oven (basically you can't get it wet or the pop rocks go off). The charcoal version looks better, but doesn't taste as good, so the look I personally like is to use the black food colour, and then use red pop rocks to give the illusion that they're on fire~ hope this helps ❣️❣️❣️
Considering the holiday aspect of it, I would say these are more novelty than pretentious.
I totally feel Ben’s enthusiasm about Christmas and that’s how I am too! I’m loving these Christmas theme episodes.
"How do you clap? I forget."
Barry! What on earth ?!
"When did I get that title?"
"When you buy manuka honey in a weekly shop!"
In Barry's defense I have to say, as a kiwi, Manuka honey is pretty great. Very expensive though
It's SO good right?
@@SortedFood by far my favorite honey even if it can only be a treat
Out of interest how much for 100g in € or £?
@@tabularasa4880 cheapest I can see at Tesco is £3.56/100g which is mgo 50
Allways great to see how different the normals and chefs analyse these things. Love your videos!
Fantastic. Loved Ben's cheeks getting a rosy glow as he reviewed the xmas pud after starting on the sherry. It's what Christmas is about!
The best drink tip I learned was from an older Portuguese guy, who brought me bottles of good Port - but WHITE Port. He taught me to keep white Port in the fridge and serve it chilled - as a wonderful aperitif.
And to mix cultures respectfully, it's great served with Japanese rice crackers. 🥂🥨👌
You've got to respect the amount of restaint James showed when simply responding with "...Eggs". He could've absolutely destroyed Barry there, lol.
“What’s in the egg nog that turns it yellow?”
James: -_-
The bowl doesn't lie. Barry is magnificent.
you could see James' eyes glisten talking about his champagne truffles from his granny you can see that it's such a fond memory so cute !!
WHAAAAT!? That sherry is 27 bucks!? For my friend's wedding we gifted him a $240 bottle of whiskey! Granted I don't drink, but I did not expect 30 year aged anything to be $27. That bottle of sherry is older than I've even been alive.
Always love these Pretentious Ingredients Videos!
That pudding hurt...Ben's sheer joy as he lifted it to his mouth in anticipation, only to be disappointed that it was "only" cake dressed as Christmas pudding hurt my heart on his behalf 🥺
Okay. Whoever picked out the music for this video deserves to take home the candy from it. Its so subtle but fits so well
Yes. More Christmas themed videos. Best time of the year for Sorted.
Raid Barry's pantry and get all pretentious ingredients for one video, I want to see how many can he guess blindfolded🤣🤣
Alternative idea: Raid Barry’s cupboards and have the other guys guess between what he owns vs outside pretentious ingredients to see how pretentious they rate Barry’s actual food.
They would have materials for hours of videos
At about 14:27 Ben just looks like the happiest little kid who got a treat and I am kind of sad that that joy was dashed by it not being Christmas-y enough. Someone get him a Christmas-y one STAT!
The way James answered Barry and had a straight face😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣.
Rewatching these 😁😁
Ben biting that Coal. To quote the Spaff: “Flippin’ heck, man!”
They should rename this whole series to 'taste testing Fortnum and Mason products'
Mike's cardigan game is STRONG, both dapper and cozy.
I have 2 broken legs and a broken arm and have binge watched all of these whilst bed bound. So glad I happened upon you all.
Flaming awesome. I’ve decided Christmas is cancelled for me this year but would love the gift of meeting you all!? ☺️
Ben with the Sherry - clearly that WSET 2 is coming in handy!
Sorted Food is way too underrated of a channel... they deserve millions of views on every video. They put way too much effort into their videos to only get half a million views each vid
James can’t be pretentious because of champagne truffles because they were a gift from his Gran. Any gift from a loving grandma can only ever be perfect
Clearly Ben takes Christmas VERY seriously. J'adore!
I don’t celebrate Christmas, but I’d love to experience an authentic British Christmas, with those Christmas crackers, Christmas puddings, those paper crowns you all seem to wear for some reason, and, like, actual British people.
If you're not religious you'd probably love a British Christmas my whole family are atheists and we still celebrate it because it's a fun part of our culture and there isn't a huge emphasis put on the religious aspect in general. Also the paper crowns come in the crackers and you have to wear them lol.
Fun fact day 66: The quietest room in the world in Minnesota is measured in negative decibels - so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat and your bones moving.
Cool
Interesting 🙂👍
I wanna go there
Your bones moving? How? With arthritis?
I probably would be able to if I didn't have tinnitus, hahaha...
Ah, Mrs Baddeley's plum pudding! Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without it.
Ben’s smile when he tastes the Christmas pudding says it all 😋
I wasn’t having a good day at all and a sorted video is all I needed ❤️
“Smells like old ladies.” - Barry James Taylor, 2020.
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE CLASS?
it doesnt really happens nowadays, i think barry means that when you were children, and there were parents/aunts looking over you in garden while drinking alcohol - they propably drank cherry
@@poro9084 *Sherry
You could have just used his first name.
@@looksirdroids9134 There’s something really hilarious using their full names. It’s like mentioning someone from the House of Lords 😂
A video with "Pretentious" in its name REQUIRES full names. You go, Barry James Taylor!
I just love the way Ben explains things
Ben is really at his most iconic self all throughout this video. Gotta love him.
Team Ben on Christmas being pretentious. It's a good, warming, pretentious food-time
Christmas at Sorted is such a wonderful thing ❤
My last name is Baez and I always have trouble spelling it out for people so that they get the right pronunciation but...Byass is spot on. Thanks for that!
Always love watching your guys Christmas vids they always get me in the mood for Christmas keep up with the good work 😊
Aaaaaand the coal bits are sold out.
Ohh eggnog truffles aren’t pretentious! They are so common here in the states. It’s a holiday flavor in chocolate - that’s what you do at the holidays!
That's so interesting! They're quite rare here in the UK. In fact, Eggnog isn't commonly drunk in the UK over the festive season either. The chocolates were very nice though!
@@SortedFood yeah, in the States, after Thanksgiving, nearly EVERY food product has an eggnog flavored version.
In Canada they usually start stocking eggnog in stores at the beginning of November and that is when life begins again lol jk but actually low-key obsessed with it
@@rebeccametcalf4448 as a Canadian who also really likes eggnog I can't not recommend making your own eggnog, it's actually really easy it just takes some time and patience and it's significantly better than the stuff they sell in the stores it's so much richer and creamier and just better all around
@@SortedFoodone of the things I look forward to during the holidays is the arrival of eggnog milkshakes.
Oh, Fortnum and Mason! Always a treat to window shop. I agree with all Ben’s assessments.
The happy Christmas in the end with everyone smiling made my little heart melt🖤
Barry’s guesses have been so close, is this indicative of many pretentious items he buys?
2:59. That camera pan to Barry's face when Mike said about the royal warrant. . . . 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ben's Christmas cheer is at an all-time high!
Barry: what makes it yellow
My husband: eggs
James:..........eggs
I think I have made my husband watch cooking shows a bit too much (or just the right amount).
😂well are you getting food out of it? Otherwise he has many more shows to watch
@@mflotzinger1592 I will have to keep it up until I can call him a "chef" 😉🤣
My favorite part is Barry pretending he doesn’t have all of these ingredients at home
I love watching you guys and your holiday shows like this one are some of my favorite I smile and giggle the whole way through
@1:46 now I know why in Recipe Relay they have his intelligence bar in the negative
Why is it that when I saw "eggnog truffles" I assumed they were like mushroom truffles soaked in eggnog
