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!
@@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.
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 !!😊😄
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?
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.
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.
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'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!
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.
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.
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!!! ❤
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.
Lol, lots of these items I would not regift, because I wouldn't want to make somebody else go through the same process. I have regifted a gift once. It was wine of a kind many people love, but I don't. That is a good opportunity for regifting, but please don't regift something you can expect the recipient to dislike as much as you do, unless the goal of your gift is just to torture them and seek pleasure from that. Growth as a species is achieved by learning from mistakes made, not by repeating them because they are
James will keep the food as long as it still tastes good. Mike gets so mad at the misleading packaging that he gets rid of it even when the flavor is nice hahaha
I work at a cheese and specialty grocery store.... the shit they put into Stilton is crazy. We also have lavender Gouda, liquorice lemon Gouda, margarita Negroni and other cocktail inspired blue cheese. Some cheese makers are interesting.
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.
You guys aren't big tea drinkers! Taking the flavour notes from a dish, turning it into a tea, then naming the tea after the dish is pretty common for novelty tea. I would never expect "Pigs in a Blanket" tea to taste exactly like that, only to be inspired by the dish. Also...where would someone buy those cheeses? Asking for a friend.
would hate the pigs in blankets tea solely because of the fact is has lapsang souchong in it. I don't want to drink tea that tastes like someone just poured liquid smoke in it.
Watching this in covid times it seems crazy to me that James used a lip balm and then passed it on for someone else to use it. Oh how things have changed
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

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. :)

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
Love this so much. (I'll probably feel differently in 24 hours when the carol is still playing on a loop in my head.)
I love the Pass it ons! I can't think of a good one for January, but what about a Valentine's Day dinner pass it on! That could be amusing haha
Just what a Valentine's Day disaster would look like you mean??😂
Comfort food for January!
Health/diet food for all the people who's new year resolution is to get in shape.
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 love how frustrated he sounds when he says "YOU'RE A CHEF"
"I'm not angry I'm just disappointed." More proof that James is the dad friend
"This is Brussels sprout dust"
"wut"
"wot"
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.

I generally substitute vegan burgers with beef burgers, and dairy cheese is a must!
so did james and mike share a chapstick then?
I feel like “Keep or Regift” is missing a third option: “Regift to your worst enemy”.
The Christmas dinner lipbalm I would burn it if possible. But have a Happy New Year everyone!!
so glad Mike appears more in the videos nowadays. but is it temporary?? because Barry is busy with the baby?
Hope not...
Say what?
After rewarding this almost 1 year later, I still want to try those cheeses!
Ben trying his hardest not to smile at 5:35 as Jamie is trying to explain Brussel sprout dust is killing me 😂😂😂
When was the last time you guys made an actual recepie video? Kinda miss those.
I’d imagine the cheeses to be kind of cheesecake-esque no? Maybe funkier but I could see why some may like it.

Also what the fuck is with "regifting"? Do people do that? Just take and eat it. Regifting a bag of chips, wtf...

But fruity cheeses are so good tho. My fave is age white cheddar with wine grapes inside or blueberry.
"oh, i bet its that Sainsbury's tea MVK had"
oh hey, its literally that
Was Mike a cat in another life? To see him shoo things off a table, and his love/aversion to so many things, I am starting to think Mike is a cat.
