It's nice to get the odd glimpses of behind the scenes actually. Seeing him cracking up made me laugh too. Cos although you get good tips on cooking and learn loads, it's baasically just a funny show. Gone on for so long that you feel invested in everyone. Even when Ben is away drinking Campari on safari.
I can't stress how proud I am of the boys for not giving up when they read the title of the dish, or when their jelly went wrong... Can't say any of it tasted fantastic though... Sooooo much Vinegar!!
Okay boys I am formally requesting a Kush Cam or something of the sort in future videos. His giggles and inability to “hollllld your sh*t together” was just incredibly amazing!! Kush was the mystery MVP of this one. Plus the boys were just like kids getting to stay at home without the parents for the first time lol
"I'm a Chef" in response to why Kush's tasted better was so reminiscent of something James would have said. More Kush on camera please he is always such a delight.
Barry was really going through it this episode. the way he said "my tower..." when the toast fell was so sad and poignant. very fun! also page 420 for Ebbers!
We need Ben to react to both this and the previous episode. We need to see his reactions of when the normals are let loose alone in the kitchen without his supervision
Badges need to be removed as punishment for them falling all over themselves failing time and time again. They are nowhere near being a chef, and have reverted back to being even worse than normals.
@@cftyftyufyfuyfty "need" is a strong word. When James left they talked about how he was basically forced in front of the camera and Mike really regretted doing it to him even though it worked out well in the end. Sorted have also said a few times they have staff who don't want to be on camera
@@Southpaw535 This. It would be cool to have another chef for battles and pass it ons and Kush seems super nice and funny, but if he doesn't want to he doesn't want to. Just cause it might work out in the end isn't a justification.
Kush laughing made this entire video. We 100% need more of this on the side fun from the team. Haha those faces at the end! I feel that pain after watching all this being put together. Kush trying this at the end was icing on this not so tasty cake.
I love when they interact with the rest of the crew Kush's comments, laughing from the side and Izzy's hiccups are some of the funniest moments i've seen on the channel. Please put there reactions in more. I think you should have a 3 way battle the Chefs, the Normal's, and the Crew to see which group are the best. As for Ebber's payback i'll say page 867.
Yes!! Chefs vs normals vs long standing crew would be amazing 😂😂 (only specifying long standing because they have the best chance to have picked up some cooking knowledge from the boys)
I really like how buttoned down Jamie was the whole time. He had a plan to stick to the recipe and made sure that was what happened through the chaos lol. Epic Spaff.
Kush was a delight this whole episode. The "I'm a chef" justification is like the HISHE version of "because I'm Batman". And then him trying to put those things back on the boards since he doesn't want to finish them and then deciding against it! A gem! Kush is a real gem!
I laughed at the quart and pints problem because that's what I use all the time here in America. Got both sets of measurements on my measuring equipment.
Page 394! This video has me cracking up. Kush’s giggling in the corner was the cherry on top. Definitely want Ben to endure this book! Would love for Kush to be in more videos and offering commentary if he can, or even in a Pass It On video!😊
I keep coming back to this video because it just makes me so happy. Jamie actually following the recipe while Barry can't, Kush on the side laughing, seeing how much no one wanted to eat them. And all that butter!!!!🤣
1. These two DO work well together! It was lovely!!!! 2. Kush! More Kush pls. (you know what happens when another chef from your team appears... We want more of them!) 3. The ad at the end LOL
Does Jamie freak out when you guys have technical difficulties like today? If he does, someone please film it. This was absolutely worth the wait! Thanks for being fantastic. Page # 189.
2:29 I think they mistook the direction "a quarter pint" to mean "a quart or pint". When I saw how much vinegar they measured out, my jaw dropped. Perhaps I've read too many "English" mysteries because all I could think was "Don't you guys know what a pint of beer looks like? Take a quarter of that!" 4:15 When Barry said "You want..." and Jamie replied "I don't, but Ben does", I laughed out loud.
I much prefer the last two videos you've added (including this one) to the others you've released lately. You seemed to go in a new direction when James left, but I think the old Sorted formats were why most of us fell in love with you. Battles, Pass It On and Think like a Chef are all hilarious episodes where the Normals forget everything they've ever been taught and bully Barry to the point I genuinely feel bad for him. More of this please!
i completely agree with you, i understand the normals are getting better in their culinary skills but at the same time i wont deny that i skip a video or two if its not a competition where everything is pure chaos, the pass it on challenges and the costumed challenges were my favorite
@Amanda Crawford - I honestly feel terrible criticising the channel because we've watched each episode religiously for years, some of them multiple times, so they feel like friends. I know things move on and people grow up but I was starting to miss the older stuff. Glad to see it back.
@@nade5443 oh again I agree 100% in order to continue growing sometimes change is necessary, when I was introduced to this channel you could clearly see the level of friendship and respect they all have for eachother, all while teaching people how to make easy and delicious food. Nothing against the new format but sometimes you just want to watch a group of friends horribly roast someone over a cloud egg 😆
I agree; I've watched Sorted for years, but this is the first time in months that I've cried laughing. I love some of the new content, but a few episodes have seemed more like a 'normal' cooking show - this one is back to basics, much less 'polished' but so much fun to watch.
As a long time fan of this watching with my teen kids to inspire them in the kitchen, I have to say seeing Kush in the video and laughing it up made the video for me. He and the other team members, if feasible, should be seen more. It takes a village and work to make these videos a success. I remember some of the earlier ones seeing Izzy (hiccuping one for example) and Ed (even hearing him when Jamie knocked the light over) was phenomenal!
I laughed so hard at the taste test part, I cried! I had to pause and rewind so I didn’t miss anything because I was laughing too hard to really catch everything. This was awesome! 🤣The little outtake at the end was perfect!
I would actually pay for the book, provided I can get my hands on it, and send it to them if that mean they might make a video like this. Unless it's a 1755 print for a thousand dollars (which has happened).
My great-aunt once kept me busy by teaching me how to make a jelly from scratch using a calves foot the old fashioned way 😊 the whole process took a couple of days and we finished by adding blackcurrant jam we'd made in the summer. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the little packets we buy in the shop and an interest in history and food that's lasted my whole life
Vinegar aspic with pork is one of the best treats my grandma does for me when I come visit her. It is an aquired taste I also like it with mashed potatoes.
We definitely need Ebbers to do another episode of him making a meal and following the recipe as is! We could call the episodes "Did Ben Ebbers it up?" Jokes aside I would be interested to see if Ben can recreate a traditional Mexican meal, step by step......I recommend birria
More like this please! Love it when any of you boys cook from old cookbooks!! Not something I would eat as a whole, but the butters could be worked into other dishes.
Barry, the only person I know where the challenge part of "complete the recipe" doesn't come from required cooking skills, but from actually looking at the book. It's like trying to give a cat a medicine.
You shouldn't heat the gelatine sheets over 60°C or it looses it's bounding ability. First rehydrate the gelatine sheets in lukewarm water. Second cook the ingredients and then let it cool to 60°C then add the rehydrated sheets and let them desolve. Third step, put it in the Freezer to cool down to 8 °C so it can get firm.
When I heard the word Aspic, I knew it wasn't going to be good. Bless your souls for not giving up. Good going Jaimie for keeping Barry on task and not letting him change the recipe too much.
I have such high expectations from aspic because of Food Wars. He set really rich chicken broth into small cubes of jelly. Put that over hot rice and let it melt.
Yes, vinegar has changed over time it has become standardized to 3% to 15% acidity for food. It is usually made with rice, apple cider, or grapes, now when a lot of vinegar was made with fruit at home then. It had the mother always and more water to boil off.
I can't help but watch these episodes. I can't say I'm super interested in the recipe but as soon as this book comes out Barry checks out and Poor Jamie is trying so desperately to actually do the recipe and the process is amazing. ;)
Loved this episode. Looked like everyone was having fun! Instead of a page number can I suggest you hold the book up on it's spine and let it fall open. Let the book decide.
Jamie reminds of me being a teacher and working with the one kid that wanted to do well and pass but also wanted to have fun and was super excitable and could easily sway the whole lesson into chaos!
I have a copy of Mrs. Beetons, mine is from 1912 and is still 5 inches thick. On the opposite page as the aspic recipe is a recipe for a brown sauce. A brain sauce for sheep's head to be precise. It requires 2 sheep's brains, ¾ pint liquor in which the heads were cooked, 1½oz butter, 1½oz flour, a small chopped onion, 1 tsp vinegar and salt and pepper. I'd say you got off easily-ish.
First of all, you guys did a GREAT job! Would I eat any of it? No, thank you, and not because of anything you did or did not do. I don't think I laughed so hard at an episode as I did during this one. The taste testing brought me to tears I was laughing so hard. Thanks for that, as I really needed it.
First cookbook?! You need to go back another millennium for that (at least in the West), to Apicius' Roman cookbook, about 500AD. I would *love* to see them or the chefs take on some of those. Grab the garum!
I bet back then most people enjoyed vinegar as a flavour, simply because they would have been eating a lot more things preserved in vinegar during the winter months. Probably a similar reason with the butter - if you put butter on everything then you are going to enjoy it a lot more. You'll always enjoy things that you eat more of because your digestive systems microbiom is heavily influenced by foods you have previously eaten and that goes on to affect your cravings. So if you have a high vinegar and fat diet you will find those things far more enjoyable. It's also the reason that the easiest way to improve yours and your kids diets, is to blend vegetables you want them to eat into things they already eat - Jamie Oliver has a great tomato sauce that does this and you can't tell it has 5 or more other vegetables in. Feed them that in everything that calls for a tomato sauce and before you know it they'll be craving those other vegetables without knowing why.
I really want you to try some things from a book called "Martha Lloyd's Housebook" it is aa collection of recipes put together by Martha Lloyd, who was Jane Austen's best friend. Martha lived with Jane, her sister Cassandra and their Mother. Martha did most of the cooking so he recipe collection is things we can be pretty confident Jane Austen would have eaten.
2:39 I feel like this is a fair question actually. Perhaps not with something like vinegar. But I feel as if a lot of times with old recipes you have to consider how things have changed. Ovens maybe didn't get as hot, so your dish might cook faster. "One package" of an item is going to be smaller now. Packages of foods might contain more ingredients than before...
Give Ben one of the recipes Mrs. Beeton adapted from the Pantropheon, like baked red mullet with a sauce of anchovies, sherry, and cayenne. :) And then give him the original recipe, as well, lol.
You're a brave man Kush. I don't know if I would have done that. It would kinda be fun to see Kush come back in and try to "modernize" (for want of a better term) the recipe to make it actually palatable. It doesn't seem like it's that far off something that could be yummy.
We need a new segment called Cooking with Barry. Imagine guest chefs encountering an unrestrained Barry in the kitchen just doing his thing. The chaos would be brilliant, he's such a loose cannon.
Kush giggling to himself in the corner is the best.
Ye, more of him!!!
It's nice to get the odd glimpses of behind the scenes actually. Seeing him cracking up made me laugh too. Cos although you get good tips on cooking and learn loads, it's baasically just a funny show. Gone on for so long that you feel invested in everyone. Even when Ben is away drinking Campari on safari.
Actually, 2nd best, the best was "I'm a chef" and the boys' reaction.
yeah, it was nice seeing some behind the scenes persons
Kush should be the one standing on the side snarking when Ben can't be there.
Barry and Jamie's reaction to kush not following the recipe and kush's reply was "I'm a chef" was the deepest shade ever thrown at them haha
Right up there with Jamie's calling out of Ben over using a microwave "Ben you're a chef!"
I can't stress how proud I am of the boys for not giving up when they read the title of the dish, or when their jelly went wrong... Can't say any of it tasted fantastic though... Sooooo much Vinegar!!
Thank you Kush 😘
You took one for the team Kush 😂
You suggesting they start again was the best reaction I've seen from the normals in a long time. So funny
As a retired executive chef, these videos are both disturbing and hilarious. More so the latter than the former though lol.
They used white vinegar instead of malt? Kush is a hero
Okay boys I am formally requesting a Kush Cam or something of the sort in future videos. His giggles and inability to “hollllld your sh*t together” was just incredibly amazing!! Kush was the mystery MVP of this one. Plus the boys were just like kids getting to stay at home without the parents for the first time lol
KUSH CAM, YESSSSSSSS!!
I second that!
Kush Cam yessss
Seconded
I feel like we need more Kush in the videos... him giggling in the corner was one of the best parts of this video
Yes, we want more Kush!
Ultimately it is up to his job title and compensation. I would hate for Sorted to suffer like Bon Appetit did.
@@nonogoaway1643 and he's cute
They introduced James gradually, at least I think so. I would guess Kush will feature more too over next year
Honestly, I'd really like to see the skills of the developmental chefs. We don't really see much who we KNOW are talented chefs.
I love how Kush indulged Barry’s revelation to blowtorch the sardines even as Jamie was trying to talk him out of it.
The ultimate betrayal when it turns out Kush didn't follow the recipe either! They look lovely and at the same time - Vile!
"I'm a Chef" in response to why Kush's tasted better was so reminiscent of something James would have said.
More Kush on camera please he is always such a delight.
"Kush! Holllld your sh** together!"
I love that Jamie just wants them to take it seriously. Congrats, Spaff! I'm so proud.
ironically the one who used to take these semi seriously is now the "0 f**ks given" guy
Barry was really going through it this episode. the way he said "my tower..." when the toast fell was so sad and poignant. very fun! also page 420 for Ebbers!
Jamie: doing his best. Being a good boi. Following directions.
Barry: EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 NOW FREESTYLE!!!!!!
Barry woke up and chose chaos today
@@soundsbyshawn He chooses chaos every day. LOL
Jamie holding it together, wanting to stick to the recipe and being the voice of reason among Barry's chaotic energy? Well done Sir
You know the boys are in trouble when Jamie is the voice of reason.
When they were doing the butters I literally said out loud "don't let spaff colour it himself" and lo and behold Barry did. This always happens lol.
We need Ben to react to both this and the previous episode. We need to see his reactions of when the normals are let loose alone in the kitchen without his supervision
Yes!
Yes please! That would be fun!
Badges need to be removed as punishment for them falling all over themselves failing time and time again. They are nowhere near being a chef, and have reverted back to being even worse than normals.
@@yendub ooof that would be harsh but true. It would be hilarious to see their reactions to badge removals
Absolutely! I thought the normals were chaotic on a regular basis, but without Ben, last episode was complete insanity!
When Jamie said "we've got to make the dish" all I thought of was James hollering "Where's. The dish?!" 😂
Same! I miss the ginger boy.
I’d really like to see Kush more in the videos and maybe even do a chef vs chef with Ben!
There's another, secret bonus chef backstage, and he needs to be in with the chef battle too
@@cftyftyufyfuyfty "need" is a strong word. When James left they talked about how he was basically forced in front of the camera and Mike really regretted doing it to him even though it worked out well in the end. Sorted have also said a few times they have staff who don't want to be on camera

Amazing to see the rest of the team in these recent videos, and the camera cutting to Kush laughing is just pure gold :D
When did Jamie become the responsible one? 🤣 Kush laughing makes it feel like the manager/parent/teacher is out for the day hahaha! Loving this vibe!
I think years of parenthood makes you automatically more responsible.
But isnt barry a father too? :)
Challenge Ben & Mike to make whatever's on page 423.
Proud of y'all for getting as close to what Kush made!
I loved seeing Kush laughing! 🤣
I keep coming back to this video because it just makes me so happy. Jamie actually following the recipe while Barry can't, Kush on the side laughing, seeing how much no one wanted to eat them. And all that butter!!!!🤣
Kush's 3 word reply about the vinegar was funny and also explained why perfectly.
when barry said it looks no more appetizing, i laughed so hard 🤣
"Barry, do you know what just the tip is?!?!” Ebbers would be proud.
🤣
Barry may well have "promised" just the tip !!!
1. These two DO work well together! It was lovely!!!!
2. Kush! More Kush pls. (you know what happens when another chef from your team appears... We want more of them!)
3. The ad at the end LOL
I'd love to see Jamie and Mike try a recipe from this book together. It feels like they'd really try to nail it.
This was my favorite version of Barry and Jamie on screen! Kush was the icing on the cake

Funny part is, if they were just told it's two pints, they would have know that measurement right away.
@@Tannhauser42, that's what I was gonna say. You know pints but a quart baffles you?

Get back in there 😂
And then Kush just ditched the vinegar entirely! Poor Barry.
this is great. jamie wants to follow the recipe, barry wants to freestyle, and kush is just laughing at them the whole time.
I can't help but watch these episodes. I can't say I'm super interested in the recipe but as soon as this book comes out Barry checks out and Poor Jamie is trying so desperately to actually do the recipe and the process is amazing. ;)
Kush is adorable. His inability to keep it together really added to the vid.
Yes! Good work lads! Ebbers turn! A full 4 course meal! Hors d'oeurvres, appetizer course, main and a dessert!
The normals should pick two options for each and have the audience vote on each
This was hilarious and I want more!!!! I would love to see each of the Normals tasked with a different recipe. Could be a good challenge!
Love the chaos!

Brilliant!!

Page 342. Love seeing more of the food team. You guys are all fabulous 🙂
I really want you to try some things from a book called "Martha Lloyd's Housebook" it is aa collection of recipes put together by Martha Lloyd, who was Jane Austen's best friend. Martha lived with Jane, her sister Cassandra and their Mother. Martha did most of the cooking so he recipe collection is things we can be pretty confident Jane Austen would have eaten.
I MEAN, how is it in every video that Jamie just ends up with food colouring? Just how? 😂
2:39 I feel like this is a fair question actually. Perhaps not with something like vinegar. But I feel as if a lot of times with old recipes you have to consider how things have changed. Ovens maybe didn't get as hot, so your dish might cook faster. "One package" of an item is going to be smaller now. Packages of foods might contain more ingredients than before...
I swear to god I'd bash my head against the wall if I had to cook with Barry but its gold when your just watching LOL
"Do you know what 'just the tip' is!?" has got to be one of the best things ever said on this channel
Finally an other old recipe from the hilarious brittish folks. its quite funtoknow what kind of dishes they prepared as common food in the past.
I love the image of Kush shrugging while holding two and saying "I'm a chef" like its the explains everything
Give Ben one of the recipes Mrs. Beeton adapted from the Pantropheon, like baked red mullet with a sauce of anchovies, sherry, and cayenne. :)
And then give him the original recipe, as well, lol.
Really loved this episode!!! Give us plenty of extra Kush on the side from now on, his amusement was fun to watch :)
You're a brave man Kush. I don't know if I would have done that. It would kinda be fun to see Kush come back in and try to "modernize" (for want of a better term) the recipe to make it actually palatable. It doesn't seem like it's that far off something that could be yummy.
how to modernise? no aspic :)
@@LadyGigglesnort Be a damn good start to it for sure. :)
I wanna see more from that book! That’s hilariously outstanding!
2:26 looks like barry poured out about the difference between a quart and a liter there 😂
Seeing Kush laughing at them added so much to the video
They say laughter is the best medicine and Chef Kush is in the biggest pharmacy with respect to this episode.
My new favourite episode! It's a grower and a sharer! Good job boys! Need another + Huddlestorm and Ben!
I also might be in love with Kush now
Kush giggling in the corner like a Gremlin while Barry has a breakdown over Jelly lol
We need a new segment called Cooking with Barry. Imagine guest chefs encountering an unrestrained Barry in the kitchen just doing his thing. The chaos would be brilliant, he's such a loose cannon.
Still would love to see yall do a video with Tasting History at some point down the line.
