I love mild cheeses, and everyone told me that, as a grown-up, I'd acquire a taste for the stronger stinky cheeses. I kept trying, it hasn't happened yet. I'm just glad that Mike is up there, representing for the rest of us who'd rather eat sweet crumbly stuff than cheese board torture.
Claire Pettie you’re acquire taste for stronger cheese once the milder cheese loses flavour due to strength then curiosity and interest will make want to try and enjoy stronger cheese.
You need three options instead of two....keep....re-gift ....and BIN!!! lol BTW...these videos just keep getting better and better! Looking forward to 2019 content!
One of my favourite parts of this channel is the intro: Mainly because everyone is so peppy and smiley, and suddenly bam a grump Englishman by the form of James.
Surprisingly they’re actually my favorite vegetable. Hated them as a kid but I really learned to love them. That ‘gold dust’ would completely ruin them for me.
I just found your channel this year and it has become my favourite channel on youtube. Thanks for brightening up my year. I hope you all have a wonderful and successful new year !!😊😄
Here in the States we have some of the most appalling crap you could imagine for gifting at Christmas. Clearly we are not alone in this. Oh my sweet Lord.....Pigs in Blankets tea and faux dessert cheese? Now I feel better. James’ comment “That is grim.....AF”was just priceless. Sounded like he almost lost the will to go on. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on the Sorted crew. Thanks so much for the laughs and great content in 2018. Update 12/31/2018: I just learned that someone was marketing rotisserie chicken flavored candy canes here. Hopeless, we are absolutely hopeless. Who green-lights this nonsense?
Jesus Christ rotisserie chicken flavored candy canes? Rotisserie chicken doesn't even have the same status as bacon and bacon doesn't go on/with everything.
My boyfriend got me the deserts in duvets book for Christmas and was so excited for me to open the actual book to the first page... I did... and its signed by all of you and I was so so happy, I spoke about it and showed it in my most recent video, i couldn't not!!! ❤
@@rdizzy1 it's not though, there is pork in it even if it's so minuscule you can't taste it. Like how Ginger ale has next to no ginger in it. It is 100% exaggeration not an outright lie.
Loved this, and it kinda gave me an idea for maybe some future videos for you: Take foods that most people hate like liver, brussel's sprouts, and sauerkraut and make them three ways to see if you can get people to like them.
Rewatching this in 2019 and I'm laughing at Mike's reaction to Jamie's hilariously bad christmas singing. You could see the teacher face reaction from Mike at one part. Love rewatching Sorted videos.
This channel has honestly given me something to look forward too and I’m so glad that you guys are getting more recognition. You truly deserve it and I have a feeling this new year is going to be even better for you
Ha! I found the christmas tree flavoured crisps sometime last week in my local supermarket and thought wow... who would buy that and what would that even taste like? Thanks for clarification and confirming that this is pish.
When they were tasting the cheeses I thought, 'oh hey, those might actually taste good. You know, there's cheesecakes, cheese in different desserts. So Mike liked at least.
I'm guessing you're American or from around that neck of the woods so I'd like to clarify that here in the UK, pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon. American pigs in blankets - the ones that are sausage wrapped in puff pastry - are what we call sausage rolls.
@@Fyreflier thanks for the clarification, because pigs in a blanket are sort of "backyard party" food in the US, I was so confused about it being a staple at Christmas.
I don't know if we have a name for a bacon wrapped sausage with no addendums in the US, but we DO have a few with addendums! If you deep fry a bacon-wrapped hotdog, it's a 'danger dog', and if you wrap smoked cocktail sausages with bacon (streaky bacon is a must), then sprinkle with brown sugar (and maybe a soda like Dr. Pepper) and bake it for a while, you have meat candy!
I would definitely be interested in trying that cheese board. Although, that mint chocolate chip one does look overwhelmingly sweet (it resembles a slab of ice cream XD). I do personally enjoy having cold dark chocolate and a neutral cheese on top of a warm slice of toast.
I'm annoyed at myself for forgetting these as I genuinely wanted to try them (don't know whether Sainsbury's might still have some?). You know that they did Brussel sprout tea too?
Happy news year eve to everyone!! May you start the new year without too much of a hang over (for those that choose to drink also please stay safe) or well rested (for those who stay home) but hopefully everyone's cheeks will be sore from smiling and you sides sore from laughing and may the rest of the year bring smiles, love and laughter in great quantities to you all.
I love getting the sausage packs that come with mustards not sold in my area. I get a snack to help me pass my massive Christmas dinner and nice mustards for sandwiches and such for next few weeks. Always feels good. Like they knew exactly what I want. Only thing that beats it are tins filled with Mom's Christmas cookies.
Pigs in a blanket is actually a common party food in the US year round. I’ve always had them during New Years parties, end of school parties, friends’ birthdays when I was young, and sometimes as canapés for younger kids before bar/bat mitvahs. My parents even had them at their wedding because my mom loves them 😂 Edit: to whom it may concern pigs in a blanket is, at least for me and other people I knew growing up, a kosher beef hot dog in like crescent role dough that’s then baked. It has nothing to do with pigs unless you use a pork sausag.
Your channel and you guys are my happy place so thank you! And the editing for mike and James was ON POINT! I'm guessing mike did the editing and its awesome and if not...its still awesome!!
Mike falling in love with weird cheese is literally the most wholesome and joyous thing.
The desperate "Ben, you're a chef" was amazing. Love it!

@@sohtan1 Thank you
real Ron Weasley "Are you a witch or not?!" energy
Liking just for Mike's enthusiasm for the cheeses
Contrasted with everyone else's disgust, it was amazing!
or else he's a damn good actor!
His pure PURE joy has made my day.
Because he hates cheese, so if it doesn't taste like cheese it makes him happy.
The most joyful I've seen him in a while. :)
Ben: "Fear not though James.. it's vegan!"
James: *cries uncontrollably*
Read that just as they said that in the video
"The mint choc chip is vile"
"NO IT'S NOT ITS LOVELY"
James disappointment at receiving brussel sprouts made in the microwave was EVERYTHING!
“Come on Ben.. you’re a CHEF!!”
Ok, Mike is that person you spend 364 days a year trying to figure out what to buy for Christmas, turns out, he likes weird flavored cheese. Simple.
I would get him unusual music, simple. Wonder if he likes TATE?
Same as a lot of people. You can't figure out what they want, they actually want ___
judithpevy he wants it to be a part of artisan cheese boards rofl

I can’t believe the crisp people didn’t decide to call them “Crispmas trees”
"I'm not angry, I'm disappointed".
Words no person wants to hear their parents say...
Words we’re all used to hearing 😂😂😂
I feel personally attacked.
I wouldn't know, my mom always went straight to angry.
It’s a classic. Good way to make your child feel really shitty.
So many in the audience squirming as though they had been addressed by their full names...
I was desperate to try the Christmas Tree Crisps....I was pining for them.
Do log your impressions, how many stars? Would you needle the supermarket into selling them all year?
Thanks for curing my depression... but giving me cancer... fianally i can die :D
Ha.
Think what it could do fir your digestion!
It'd spruce up the snack table.
I'm not mad, just really disappointed. ~James

I can’t believe it was the ‘it’s vegan’ that made James lose it. That was hilarious!

Well they said they were gifted it by Barry Lewis (MyVirginKitchen channel)
ALL OF THEM

Thank you, same to you.
Thanks. Have a blessed New Year
Happy New Year to you too :)

Oh man, did these well wishes fail miserably this year!
Brussels Sprouts are incredible when roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper. So delicious.
Surprisingly they’re actually my favorite vegetable. Hated them as a kid but I really learned to love them. That ‘gold dust’ would completely ruin them for me.
Ren Aokaze Totally unrelated, but could you hit me up with the link to your pfp?
Came down here to see if anyone else defended brussel sprouts. They are my favorite veggie. Boiled is not great.
Shred them and stir fry is good. Also shredded as a salad veg.
You forgot bacon bits on top :D
Brussels Sprouts get a bad rap.

I would absolutely try the cheese board, when my family does charcuterie there's a cranberry stilton that's always included which is LOVELY
i love james' inability to apply lip balm. someone help this man
I volunteer for that 😘
He's so adorable though😍
I think there might be a queue...
I still don't get that. He is rubbing it on his lips, that's what you do.
To follow on from Jamie's joke... how does Good King Wenceslas like his pizza? Deep and crisp and even 😜
This deserves a higher place on the top comments list.
Pretty good if you were going for vaguely similar but not quite there.
Okay, I must applaud that. Bravo.
Knew the joke as follows: How does Good King Wenceslas like his pizza? Deep-Pan, Crisp and Even. Great joke either way

Rewatching this in 2019 and I'm laughing at Mike's reaction to Jamie's hilariously bad christmas singing. You could see the teacher face reaction from Mike at one part. Love rewatching Sorted videos.
As always your videos are amazing and amusing especially james lmao. Anyway Merry Christmas and happy New year to all of you guys ✌️

Does Mike's nose not work? Those are the most intense sniffs I've ever seen, the face he makes 😂
Haha, more salty James. "Ben, c'mon. You're a chef!"
Haha, did you ask Barry Lewis for a few of the teabags when he came over?

Ashens' Christmas special had a slightly different take on them. He actually noticed flavor, although he didn't like them either.
When they were tasting the cheeses I thought, 'oh hey, those might actually taste good. You know, there's cheesecakes, cheese in different desserts. So Mike liked at least.
I don't know why james hated it so much Wensleydale with dried fruit in is traditional at Christmas here so we eat sweet cheese anyway.
@@violetskies14 wensleydale and cranberry!!!! a fantastic cheese at Christmas time.
@@jmp_fr a favourite of mine!
Right? Not sure about ginger, but cheese and fruit go well together, cheese and dark chocolate can go well together, so why not?

Mike loving the cheese while everyone hates it is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time 😂
Happy New Years!!! Here's to a great sorted 2019!

"please Ben, please, YOUR A CHEF!" 😂
I'm most intrigued by the implication that Brits eat pigs in blankets at Christmas dinner?...I wouldn't have guessed that in 100 years lol.

It's good tea tho, so they'll like it xD
I am not a vegan, but I would like to have this for myself! The pig is so cute!!! My sister always buys me pig themed stuff...
I'm a Lapsang fan, so that with my favourite herbs sounds great. Gonna try to get a bunch before they clear the shelves!

It's been a while since I've watched this one. I forgot how sour Mike was all day! 🤣🤣🤣
Thought Mike being a grump was so funny. Then he loved the weird cheese. James' reaction was priceless
I use pickled spruce buds in potato dishes occasionally. When it's strong and contrasted well it's delicious
Words I never thought I would hear together, mint chocolate chip cheese is high on that list.
