Absolutely loved spending time with you guys ! My only regret is not to have diluted a heaped spoonful of that $$$ Manuka honey into some super-cheap over-infused Lipton tea (with milk obvs)
Really fun seeing you on here after following both channels for years! Buuuut where is the logic behind the olive oil not being pretentious and the honey being? Both are good quality products but just super expensive :/
Fine olive oil is like fine wine, therefore you would expect things like where the olives were grown and pressed and what kind of olive the oil was pressed from... you would also expect a dark green bottle that you almost can't see into to protect the oil from light like Alex said. A good quality oil does add to the dish especially a high quality finishing oil that you would drizzle over top of the finished dish.
I know, if regular extra virgin olive oil can come in a plastic, but still dark green, almost opaque, but still slightly translucent, I don't think it would be too far off to expect premium, and extortionist premium products, they would do the same.
my olive oil from aldi comes in a dark green glass bottle. if aldi can do that for their under 10 €/liter oil, this fancy pants olive oil should manage the same!
As a kiwi, the average supermarket manuka honey NZD$30 makes a noticeable difference when you are unwell, helping with sore throats etc Most New Zealanders will purchase a clover or other basic honey for day to day and save the Manuka honey as part of the medicine cupboard. Would love to see more items for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands in these reviews as we are a area that is often missed
I took an animal rehabilitation course and my teacher says that it's a really good thing to use for any animals that get injured but they don't use it often because it's really expensive.
This winter I had such a bad cold and couldn't take much to help since I'm pregnant, so I basically lived off of manuka honey, lemon and hot water drinks. Helped my throat so much. This baby is probably 50% honey now
@@meagan3694 I just keep a small pottle and a spoon in my bag when I'm unwell, so that when I'm out i can just have like a teaspoon of it, it helps more than lozenges.
My daughter suffers horrendously with tonsil issues. Over the winter I switched all our honey to Manuka honey and I’ve genuinely noticed a difference in the number and length of her bouts of colds and tonsillitis flare ups.
got a small jar of mgo80 for like 5.76£ on promotion, uk honey is expensive. they basic store honey isn't even really honey. it's half the price tho. one time I bought lidl 30 mgo for like 6£ but this one is better. hard to tell it's effects tho.
To add some more context to the Manuka Honey pricing - that grade of honey is legitimately used in hospitals as an antibacterial treatment for burns and wounds. I've also heard a story where it was used to flush a patients lungs to treat a nasty lung infection. So the price is derived from the health sector more so than from consumers.
Awesome to see some ingredients from my home country of New Zealand. Fingers crossed we get to see more of the Kiwi cuisine when we get to the Global A-Z Food Challenge!
I took my mum to NZ last year and we LOVED your beautiful country ❤ Such kind, warm, friendly people, amazing nature, great wine, dairy, lamb, and of course honey 😊
The 糸切 peppers are definitely over packaged and pretty dang expensive compared to buying them in Japan. I can only imagine they're even cheaper in other places. I've only had them on top of beef rice bowls and I agree with they're hardly noticeable but they do give a weird, almost metallic flavor if you eat a bunch.
glad you got Alex on the show, I love his channel!! ...perfect choice having a picky/pretentious(ish!) Frenchman with a good palette the for 'pretentious ingredients' 😅
15 years ago or so my mother was crazy about the manuka honey, to the point where I had to go around the city for her because the usual retailer left the market. Not sure who told her about it, but she just had to use it at any moment she felt off. Honestly, health benefits or not, placebo effect carried it all the way...
@@lancelindlelee7256I get disliking the misleading marketing of some honey. However, honey is a legitimate anitbacterial with more than 1 scientific paper agreeing with me. That being said, honey seems to be best used for rubbing into wounds to prevent infection, not eating.
@@olidul2305 This is very true, Manuka is found in wound gels, and even often used on animal wounds, to prevent infection and keep the wound wet to encourage healing and prevent scaring. I've never been a fan of honey in any other context but Manuka really is the real deal when you talk about its antibacterial properties.
@@roxxelle788 I completely agree, but one paper I've seen actually found an acidic honey from Cuban Melipona beecheii bees to actually be better than the Manuka (Apis mellifera bee) honey that they tested. That said, Manuka seems better studied.
Placebo should never be sold for 300 dollars, that is nothing but a blatant scam. (That is aside from the fact that I believe placebo should never be able to be sold as a treatment to begin with, as it is necessary to test medicinal products AGAINST placebo to even test their efficacy to begin with) Scammers hide behind placebo all the time to sell their bullshit products that do nothing.
I treated a second degree burn with manuka honey and there is no scar at all. We use it not so much as a food but more as a medicine and dressing ointment. Such amazing stuff.
“Prince of Pretension and a Parisian” is a great way to start the video. Nice to see Alex on the channel after making a few cameos. Happy Wednesday to SortedFood HQ and the community. 😊
Ebbers looks like he got a touch of sun. :D To be fair, I think manuka honey edges out of the pure "food" category into the "medical" category, which accounts for some of that price. I have some at home (not quite THAT grade), which I only use when I'm sick. (Do NOT stir it into hot tea! The heat will destroy the compounds that make it so beneficial.) Medical-grade manuka honey (which is sterilized with gamma radiation and contains a known level of antimicrobial activity), is used in wound care, and it's becoming particularly important in fighting drug-resistant infections such as MRSA.
14:16 As someone whos from New Zealand, and is also indigenous to the country as well - I appreciate the use of the tohutō (macron) over the a in Mānuka. Kia pai tō mahi, kōutou!
I worked at a Returned Servicemen's League (RSL) nursing home in Sydney and they used manuka honey to treat bed sores and ulcers. Old soldiers with tropical ulcers picked up in various jungle conflicts.
Never thought I’d see the day where two of my favourite food channels would combine for a video! You guys made this Day Much better! And would make it even more so with a hearth and comment!
I would LOVE to see you add Pianogrillo Estratto di Pomodori to a pretentious ingredient episode. It's sundried Sicilian tomato paste, $30 per jar in the states, and I'm absolutely addicted to the stuff. lol, I'd love to see it get just popular enough that the price came down. :P
First time seeing anything of this French guy but I am now a big fan! He was great and would be awesome to see him be a few more episodes, especially pretentious ones.
I love All Your collabs guys!. the guests you are bringing in really gives each ep a different vibe and i adore every second of them! And congrats on Ebbers and Jamie starring in an Asda advert the other day! You guys have made it SO far!
I'm from Greece and having access to phenomenal extra virgin cold pressed olive oil from select harvests like Chalkidiki, or Kalamata and Crete that bottle is an affront to good olive oils...Like Alex said the olive species should be stated and even the cheapest olive oils in Greece come in a tinted glass container to keep it from oxidising from light...
My favourite two cooking channels doing a joint video??? Love it guys - please do more!! Alex needs the Sorted lads on his channel. Maybe to teach Jamie how to make a traditional Paella??😂😂😂😂😂
When my mother was in hospice, she had a bed sore that would not get better, and we were really just trying to avoid infection to keep her comfortable. The only thing that eased the pain and improved the sore were bandages/patches with manuka honey in them. (Seriously we tried everything else over the counter we could find!) It will forever be linked in my mind with helping ease my mother's pain and discomfort in her final days, so I tend to think highly of it.
Alex looks like Barry's french cousin. I loved his takes, the honesty was punching through. Sorted guys I feel like sometimes they don't want to criticise the producer and do it in roundabout way and Alex was a straight shooter. I agree with his opinion on the olive oil - for the price tag it should have more premium package, more info about the species, region. Frickin 100 quid for a bottle of olive oil!
1) I love Alex, 2) I first had chili threads about 15 (or more?) years ago. They decorated a creamy soup and were very spicy. I became obsessed with finding them and when I did, they were very, very expensive. I think I actually only used them one or twice. Not more. I discarded the practically full jar when they had lost their color, a few years later. So, yeah. Pretentious.
Out of this world quality as always, this crossover was Epic! And personally the thing for me is that my parents use local honey because it helps them with their environmental allergies. And like Jamie said before, you are paying for words, and Chirstopher Robin would slap Winnie the Pooh aound the face for it.
The honey drives me nuts, bc MGO/UMF units are not standardized or consistently tested at all, and any local knows this. The 'health' benefits are a scam. Great honey, this is just a nightmare xD
@TheSortedFood.I've been following you guys since I was in college and the amout I've learnt from you and Alex is so much more than what I learnt at UCB, I really appreciate the kind of theoretical deep dives Alex showcases in his videos. Both of these channels elaborate on how chefs work behind the scenes, developing recipes while having fun and exploring. I think one of the things I miss about being in the kitchen the most is the end of day cleaning post service, where its just like sorted, a bunch of mates having fun, listening to music and working. Unfortunately, I've moved back to Mumbai for a bit, and I'm trying to set up a small business so I couldn't afford the pass it on live tickets. Thank you for all the knowledge throughout the years, helped me throughout College and Uni Cheers
Great to see Alex on here. But to be honest he is all about the perfect version of everything. You all are more the every day version of everything. Contrasting but enjoyable mix.
Seeing Barry just pour that honey over bread like that made me physically flinch, I've seen it for around $65 around here and knew that whatever was on this episode had to be way more expensive than that.
Part of the 'health' interest in Manuka (Mahnehka) honeys is their apparent antibacterial usefulness in wound care. External use rather than internal. The Plant is more commonly known as the Tea Tree and has a fairly wide range over NZ and SE Australia, where I reside. Alex - don't you have a studio to get back too?? ;)
It's good to see Alex in a video! He bring some real-world honesty, unlike the Sorted crew who are as of late a bit - everything is amazing I don't want to offend anyone.
I'm from NZ and use Manuka honey alot, even here it is pricey. But we don't use Manuka honey from eating, it's for putting on wounds and cuts to help heal them, or if you have a sore throat is great for that too.
Manuka Honey is a contentious issue because although the tree originated in Australia and we have more Manuka trees than New Zealand, the Kiwis have tried every dirty trick in the book to claim the international trademark for Manuka honey. They'll even claim only New Zealand can produce Manuka honey, despite the tree being native to Australia! Down under we have Manuka honey everywhere and it's slightly more expensive than regular honey. The local supermarket sells 100% pure Manuka honey for $7.50 (£4) per jar. New Zealand is being cheeky trying to fool the international market into spending £100s and even £1000s per jar for what is literally bog-standard affordable honey.
Absolutely loved spending time with you guys ! My only regret is not to have diluted a heaped spoonful of that $$$ Manuka honey into some super-cheap over-infused Lipton tea (with milk obvs)
Alex and Sorted!!!! The crossover i never knew I needed!!!
Lemon Honey drinks 🙌
Really fun seeing you on here after following both channels for years! Buuuut where is the logic behind the olive oil not being pretentious and the honey being? Both are good quality products but just super expensive :/
That partnership I didn't know I needed. happy to see you, alex!
@@liiiinderBecause the olive oil is actually that good and very versatile. That honey itself is not very versatile.
You need Alex back again for couple of episodes cause he’s just so enjoyable to watch and banter with.
Honestly, I'd like to see him sit in on a long form interview show!
Edit: But yes, bring him back as much as possible!
100%
Barry thinking the jar of honey must be 200 £ and proceeding to pour half the bottle on shitty white bread is such a mood
All I can think is why are they wasting a limited supply of medical grade manuka on bread when it's one of the few things can kill mrsa!
Alex's stone cold, honest, food based answers are gold. Nothing given to sponsors, advertisers or even the manufacturers. Absolutely awesome.
Alex should do ALL of the pretentious ingredients episodes.
Seconded!
Absolutely!
Agreed! 😊
He needs to do one with James 😂
@@MrKeeganimaloh heck yeah! Pretentious chefs test pretentious ingredients... I love it!
Two of my all time favourite food channels of entirely different genres collaborating; this was not expected but more than welcome!
Enjoy 😃
@@SortedFood You guys are legends
Alex and Barry are such a perfect combo for this! Im all for it!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Barry flinched at the price reveal on the honey like he does the books for Sorted 😂
I have the feeling that honey mysteriously vanished from the studio and reappeared in Barry's house.
barry glugging 50 quid of honey on a slab of wonder bread.
Well, since the bread is basically tasteless, you’d be tasting the honey without any interference.
Love seeing Barry review pretentious ingredients, he has such a unique look into them.
Omg, the chemistry and vibes between Barry and Alex is so cosy and entertaining. Please have more collaborations with Alex in the future. Love this!

The quote "pick up, smell, put back down and talk about it" is from the excellent movie "le souper" (1992) a very french gastronomic/historical movie.

A crossover I loved. I love both Alex’ and Sorted and that they’re together well, sorted…
As a Kiwi, having good quality manuka honey on your toast in the morning it’s just nice summer holiday vibes.
With plenty of butter and a nice slice of Vogels

There’s a good possibility that the honey jar may go mysteriously missing when Barry goes home tonight
ALEX! I was waiting for you guys to bring him on! So excited!
Great to see Alex on here. But to be honest he is all about the perfect version of everything. You all are more the every day version of everything. Contrasting but enjoyable mix.
I tend to forget things like manuka aren't common elsewhere. You can pick up a "cheap" jar in Coles for about $30 in Aus
I was truly hoping someone points at a drop of spilled honey and goes 'that's 2 pounds, mate' :D
woah, this took me by surprise! Didn't expect to see Alex at all :)

I was just thinking about how we haven’t had a pretentious episode in forever!
Part of the 'health' interest in Manuka (Mahnehka) honeys is their apparent antibacterial usefulness in wound care. External use rather than internal. The Plant is more commonly known as the Tea Tree and has a fairly wide range over NZ and SE Australia, where I reside.
Alex - don't you have a studio to get back too?? ;)

I'm from NZ and use Manuka honey alot, even here it is pricey. But we don't use Manuka honey from eating, it's for putting on wounds and cuts to help heal them, or if you have a sore throat is great for that too.
The guy on the left pouring about 60 pounds worth of honey on his toast. LMAO!
Loved seeing @FrenchGuyCooking in studio chatting food & throwing down super-French judgments with pure facts. This was such a great episode ❤
I love Alex so much, I'm so happy he was on!!!
Sorted + Alex mashup is a dream come true!
Manuka Honey is a contentious issue because although the tree originated in Australia and we have more Manuka trees than New Zealand, the Kiwis have tried every dirty trick in the book to claim the international trademark for Manuka honey. They'll even claim only New Zealand can produce Manuka honey, despite the tree being native to Australia!
Down under we have Manuka honey everywhere and it's slightly more expensive than regular honey. The local supermarket sells 100% pure Manuka honey for $7.50 (£4) per jar. New Zealand is being cheeky trying to fool the international market into spending £100s and even £1000s per jar for what is literally bog-standard affordable honey.
It’s native to NZ too
Holy crap, it’s my third favorite UA-cam channel, and my first favorite UA-cam channel in one video.
*in the most ridiculously french accent i can muster. "oh i love the puff pastry"
i think its hilarious that alex and barry ate at least 150 pounds worth of honey
My 2 favourite food channels together at last!
