As someone with limited mobility, Kush and his 'Blend Everything' approach has been a real lightbulb moment for me in realising i too can blend everything
I would highly recommend a food processor with different attachments. Mine has an emulsifying tool which I use to make mayonnaise and it works every time.
With how much Kush changed up what he was doing, it was like watching a one man pass it on. He just kept passing it on to his later self who went somewhere else with it.
The encyclopedia of food that is in Ben’s mind is ridiculous. How he thinks of what he has had or seen for food, then plugs in what he has to work with is amazing to watch!
I need more of Kush just being put in the kitchen, random items that make no sense together and being told "Do whatever." Because it is the best kind of chaos.
TBF, he had to use a BEEG chunk of the store cupboard. If even Kush couldn't salvage his ingredients with all that, I don't think the normals would stand a chance.
Oh I love the contrast of "hey I had this dish somewhere so i am gonna try that with these cans" vs "hey lets throw everything in the pan and hope it works"
I love watching Ben and Kush work at the same time, so contrasting but equally brilliant at what they do. Love the banter between them that can only come from years knowing each other. More please!! 👍
I absolutely love it when Kush panics while the normals are absolutely losing it in glee. And then it turns out amazing! Also, I love that with all of the training that Kush has, he still has a normal in his dishes.
Both Chefs looked like they were having fun. My favorite thing on UA-cam is watching people that love and are good what they are doing, doing the thing they love and are good at. So watching Ben and Kush just create was so much fun. I'd love to see them creating menus for certain situations. What would you cook to impress a date? What would you cook if your parents were coming over for Sunday Lunch? What would you cook snacks for a few drinks with friends? That sort of thing. Then give them free range or go the other way and give them a budget and see what they come up with maybe with hints for how us "normals" could do the same thing.
This was the video I needed today. Ebbers and Kush are so great together. Both so efficient and talented, but Ben is more orderly while Kush is like a mad scientist, in the best way possible.
I would love to see more videos like these with the chefs. Kush is such a great addition to the front of the camera. He is a wizard in the kitchen, yet he's not afraid to show his humble side.
As much as I love watching the normals apply what they've learned through the years, this may be my new favorite format. Love to see what both Ben and Kush come up with every challenge
I was worried this challenge would be too easy for the chefs, but the very...uh...eclectic choice of tins made up for that. That panic and strokes of inspiration were amazing! :)
Lambhead is also a tradtional Norwegian dish called Smalahove. It is salted, smoked and dried, when it comes to perparing it you slowly boil it and served with potatoes and some form of turnip mash. It is served as half of a head on a plate and looks just about how you would expect. You guys should absolutely try to travel to the Village of Voss (1,5 hours outside of Bergen) and try it!
@@op3129can confirm that it taste great, given that you enjoy the taste of lamb. The cheek meat is incredibly tender, and the eye is... Interesting...
I enjoy watching both chefs work - they have different methods of tackling these challenges and the end results are always a delight! I love how Ebbers takes from his endless stack of food knowledge from his travels and the the rapid fire bounce of one thing to another from Kush, changing as he goes/tastes.
I'd say to just keep the cans in rotation for the series. Someone will start recognizing cans and get paranoid. Then the paranoid will spread. Years later, the cursed can turns out to be Apple sauce or something equally benign.
Watching Kush’s brain at full speed is magical. It’s a JOY to see him struggle then plough through it. I was fully thinking at the midpoint he doesn’t have a clue and at the end I’m amazed. Deffo best thing to happen to Sorted in a long time ❤
In my mind, he was the winner. Ebbers' tins were far easier to work with. Seafood and artichoke were made for each other and a soup can easily be turned into a sauce with a bit of imagination that he's not short of. But changing retch-inducing offal into something edible is more challenging. In the end, Ebbers's dish looked like fine dining, while Kush's looked as rough and ready as can be. Well done to both!
@Acadia26 in fairness, that's the challenge of picking random tins. The challenge is "who can make a better dish with random ingredients from tins", not "who can deal with the challenge best". Which might seem unfair, but it's a game show format. It doesn't have to actually be fair.
One of the best things about Sorted, from the very inception of the brand/company, is how much you guys listen & interact with the community. You guys take ideas, you constantly improve, and you all care so much about us as viewers and members of the community. Thanks for being such great people!❤ And I would love for Ben to win this, only for Kush to say "well, I work with great fresh ingredients, I always go to the market, butcher, etc... and help my local businesses... Michelin star this, Michelin star that" 😂
I love these tin battles. It was great watching Kush BS his way through it like he wasn't gonna have anything good and then come up with what looks like a fancy person made bar food. Excellent! Also amused seeing what things you can get in a tin. Things I never would have thought of.
I'd like to see Kush's take on the more unusual cookbooks. Really interesting to see the process in the thinking and the different approaches between the chefs.
Best tin can roulette yet! It was nice to see the chefs approach the struggle that the normals face, every time. That typed, they still got a lot done and showed off what makes them chefs, of course, as always. I had fun!
For the Lamb's head, a classic Indian mughal dish mostly available in Delhi and Mumbai is Bheja Fry!! Made with lamb's brains.. spicy and creamy dish eaten with tandoori flat bread
The end results definitely reminded me of "Spicy Bar Food" and "Fancy Restaurant Food" and the reactions to them absolutely cemented that. You *really* want to eat all of the bar food because it tastes good, but the fancy restaurant stuff is to be savored slowly and with intention.
Everything else aside, in all that madness Ben made a delicate carrot sope that now has me heading to the store to buy corn flour! Ben really is an artist.
From Iceland here, and lambs head is a classic dish, the way I remember having it is to take the entire head, cut it in half and boil the entire thing in a big stock pot. I've heard the eyes are the best part but I never had them.
18:13 Ben’s process was practically therapeutic. Chef Kush was there to balance out the chaos. Both are valid and now there’s equilibrium in the universe.
I absolutely love this mystery tin series. But omg poor kush getting stuck with absolute booby prize ingredients. That was the most flapped I think we’ve ever seen him. utterly hilarious! I’m just amazed that it was an accident instead of on purpose.
Nothing brings me greater joy than watching a group of mates hanging out together for our entertainment and a bit of cooking thrown in for *hits and giggles.
I have a feeling that the whelks were a korean product. We have those quite common and we mix it with a gochujang-vineger sauce(or as we call it, chogochujang) along with tons of veg and sometimes cold noodles. Its a common pub/bar snack that we eat with soju. And also in Korea, we have a rather unique tin of silkworm pupae in cans. Its mostly brined in korean miso soup kind of thing. Younger people tend to avoid these, but hey we have it, would love to see how you guys will react to those.
Im remembering when James and Ben really got to show off for an easter feast. Well Easter is nigh and Kush and Ebbers really just being told: Showcase what you can do
in turkey lamb head and foot is used to make soup .it is considered almost medicinal whenever we get cold we think about drinking it and also hangover food. it is generally garnished it with garlic and vinegar
Damn whenever kush is cooking you know it’s going to be pure chaotic entertainment. Deffo wanna see kush doing the cook book challenge that would be comedy gold!
I love the dynamic between Ben and Kush. Calm and Chaos. I love the energy Kush brings, but I also really admire how methodical and well balanced Ben is. It was lots of fun to see the two extremes back to back!
In South Africa we have lambs head potjie where we braise it in a cauldron over a fire and then last minute add some veggies to just cook and then eat with samp which is a type of white corn
In Jamaica we have a soup called Mannish Water aka goat head soup that utilizes all rest of the goat, sans the main meat! Its really yummy, but can have more...distinctive smell! One thing I think could be fun in these battles is canned ackee, a fruit we serve in a savory manner here for breakfast! It is part of out national dish, ackee and salt fish (salted cod) but is also great in a (Jamaican) curry!
I am from Bulgaria. Me and my dad love lamb head! You can have it like: 1) If you bake half a lamb or a whole lamb you just pick off the meat from the head 2) You can make a delicious soup. 3) Or you can have it as a gelatinized deli meat product. There are lots of people that don't like the sight of the whole head as well. But the taste and the texture and tenderness are phenomenal!
What I appreciate the most is that the chefs tasted ALL of the cans to get a tasting profile to work from instead of like the normals that just try to figure it out based on what they are instead of what they taste like.
Guys as you asked those are my three favorite ways to eat a sheep head being a half Cypriot and half middle eastern Arab. 1)Lamb bone broth soup in combination with all the meaty parts of a Cypriot traditional wood oven roasted sheep or goat head. 2)A cold salad of arugula with walnut and sour pomegranate and small pieces of sheep or caw tongue with a little sprinkle of pomegranate molasses salt and pepper. 3) A thin crust pita style or soft baguette still sandwich with spread of the sheep Brain with a dash of salt, cumin, chilli flakes/powder and pickle slices
Kush is just so chaotic it works. I will say i have to agree though Bens dish looked better and seemed more thought out BUT Kush doing all that with those ingredients I have to take my hat off to him. That was impressive
We eat sheepshead in iceland. Boiled with some seasoning. And served with potatomash and swede. We also make a sviðasulta or "headjam" wich is also delisus.
How about a Beat the Chef version where to level the playing ground, the chef picks their tins at random and then the normal gets to know what's left and pick from it?
Before they get to guess what they got, I'd love to see you tell them what they didn't get. Hide the cans, so you can use them later, just taunt them. Would be great to get the reactions... and to see them try to remember and fail to manipulate the selections later down the line.
I definitely want to see more of this, this was great fun. Ben kind of having a plan and following through versus Kush throwing things together or completely overthrowing his plans is a hilarious mixture 😄
Fun fact about lamb heads - in Moroccan Jewish tradition, a whole roasted lamb head is eaten on our New Year, Rosh Hashanah, in part because "rosh" means head
I had been having a wretchedly emotional morning and Jamie's, "HEINZ!" aggressive ketchup bit had me laughing so hard it kicked me into an entirely different headspace. Thank you so much lads.
Lambs head is a popular street food in South-Africa, sold in a full head called a smiley or a half head called half smiley also called Skopo. The sheeps head is boiled until tender, it is commonly then braaied/grilled over an open flame to crisp up. Perfect for street foods from around the world
This was very useful to me, as a person who is learning to cook through watching videos on UA-cam. I think it is difficult to illustrate cooking instinct, with respect to both flavor and texture, in "normal" cooking with "normal" ingredients. Only when faced with challenging ingredients can you see the wheels turning in a chef's head and see their process for correcting flavor and texture. More of this, please.
Lambs head is a notorious traditional dish in/from Western Norway. The dish is called "Smalahove" and it might have been a good dish for the series where you guys guess where its from, but it is typically served with a side of potatoes and a mashed rutabaga which I think everyone on the channel will quickly hone in on Norway/Sweden particularly since rutabaga is also called "Swede". Very uncommonly used ingredient in other countries.
There's a bit in the middle where Mike is in awe when watching Kush work. In that moment, Mike is all of us at home. An actual genius at work! Love love love the content!
When is Kush going to do the 1914 Cookbook Challenge?
GREAT IDEA! 😆
@@SortedFood I want a recipe for those corn cakes cause I have a saucy pork I want to do but I want a new starch than rice, potatoes etc.
This please!
Also let kush to the dishes of the century
@@SortedFoodAgreed. I will watch Kush do just about anything you guys can throw at him. ❤
Jaime screaming “HEINZ!!!!’ was one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a while!
Delivery was perfect
"Agressive ketchup" 😂
So took me back to my childhood watching Allo Allo
I will never not laugh at that part it always get me when I watch vidoes back lol
Jaime 's aggressive ketchup joke was stellar
saucy lmao
Pronounciation was on point though.
I had food in my mouth.. somehow survived spilling it all over😂
He did it while I was mid-drink. I had to wipe down my monitor. 10/10.
Heinz!!!
As someone with limited mobility, Kush and his 'Blend Everything' approach has been a real lightbulb moment for me in realising i too can blend everything
I would highly recommend a food processor with different attachments. Mine has an emulsifying tool which I use to make mayonnaise and it works every time.
@@hannahk1306 What brand is it, id I may ask? I'm searching for a good blender.
Food processor, yes! I use mine to slice, chop, pulverize. Life saver esp. on days when my autoimmune condition is flaring up.
Gotta agree with others. I didn't thought I would use it so often but I use it surprisingly a lot.
With how much Kush changed up what he was doing, it was like watching a one man pass it on. He just kept passing it on to his later self who went somewhere else with it.
That's an adhd mind at work when left unattended
That is a perfect description of what happened lol, I love it
The encyclopedia of food that is in Ben’s mind is ridiculous. How he thinks of what he has had or seen for food, then plugs in what he has to work with is amazing to watch!
This!!!
Agreed!!!
That aggressive Ketchup “HEINZ” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad you picked up on that one 😆
@@SortedFood Jamie almost scared me
I read the comment before watching and I still wasn't prepared.
@@SortedFood It would be difficult not to pick up on it!
I’m having a bad mental health day and desperately needed that laugh 😂
I need more of Kush just being put in the kitchen, random items that make no sense together and being told "Do whatever." Because it is the best kind of chaos.
Ben and Kush really are the opposite sides of the same coin. Hilarious to watch this. 😂
So glad you're enjoying this!
They're basically The Cramp Twins
Which side is ebbers? I can't decide, because both would be benuendos.
This whole video was perfection. Chaos, HEINZ, Kush squeezing, Ben swearing in a slightly kind way. Loved every minute.
i feel like Ben has never swore in a video before. im sure it happens behond the scene but cant think of a video where he swears on camera?
He already sweared several times with his first Chef VS Chef battle against Kush.
Tbh, I couldn't stop laughing at the chaos that is kush and his dish. 😂
Haha, glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for watching :)
So good... so unbelievably good.... i was in tears laughing.
Definitely the most UNHINGED we've ever seen Kush... that was incredible
same here 😂
he reminds me of Tassie the Tasmanian devil in the old cartoons
I always love how much more casual swearing comes out of Ebbers when he’s in the kitchen with Kush.
Kush giving Ben a cheeky little squeeze was brilliant comedic timing! He never disappoints 😂
Seeing Kush in absolute struggle-mode was a sight to behold. More of that PLEASE.
What Kush was able to pull off with the tins he received was nothing short of miraculous. Good on you.
TBF, he had to use a BEEG chunk of the store cupboard.
If even Kush couldn't salvage his ingredients with all that, I don't think the normals would stand a chance.
Considering what he had to work with, for me, Kush was the winner.
@@anthtansame plus I honestly think I would prefer his dish more. It is just more of my cup of tea
Mike taking a shot at Jamie always doing a steak and slaw while he himself the majority of the time does some variation of fried chicken is funny
Or a Thai curry.
Oh I love the contrast of "hey I had this dish somewhere so i am gonna try that with these cans" vs "hey lets throw everything in the pan and hope it works"
*lets throw everything in the blender and hope it works*

A high vs low budget concept could be great for this.
Sunday meal for the parents or in-laws is a great idea. Chef's edition with oddball ingredients.
Half way through the video I’m wondering if Kush is simply cooking everything he could find in the kitchen cupboards. 😂
This was the video I needed today. Ebbers and Kush are so great together. Both so efficient and talented, but Ben is more orderly while Kush is like a mad scientist, in the best way possible.

You've never opened an odd can...
@@b_uppy nope, can't say I've ever found a can in my pantry that I didn't put there myself. And I tend to know what I buy.

Love how Ben is just casually explaining everything he does while being super calm and Kush is just struggeling from beginning to end...
I had to stop watching to laugh so hard at “ Heinz!” I’m dead….. totally unexpected 😂
Jamie was quick with that one!
I am genuinely giggling as I watch this on the bus that was exactly what I needed on a dull Monday! 😂
I enjoy watching both chefs work - they have different methods of tackling these challenges and the end results are always a delight! I love how Ebbers takes from his endless stack of food knowledge from his travels and the the rapid fire bounce of one thing to another from Kush, changing as he goes/tastes.
I love the mystery tins! It's just built-in chaos!
You never know what you're going to get huh!
@@SortedFoodAMAZING WORK GUYS🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
You should have made the two normals use up the left-over tins to come up with something together. More mayhem, probably.
I'd say to just keep the cans in rotation for the series.
Someone will start recognizing cans and get paranoid.
Then the paranoid will spread.
Years later, the cursed can turns out to be Apple sauce or something equally benign.

Lambs head is a popular street food in South-Africa, sold in a full head called a smiley or a half head called half smiley also called Skopo. The sheeps head is boiled until tender, it is commonly then braaied/grilled over an open flame to crisp up. Perfect for street foods from around the world
6:27 here in Colombia we don't have lamb heads! But we have pork heads in lechona! You guys should try it! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
in syria lamb head boiled with spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, pepper and bay leaves. Its served with spiced aromatic rice. I love it!
This has been my favourite video for a while, just hilarious 😂
I absolutely loved this. Seeing how the chefs think and how they know how to build flavour, it is absolutely mind-blowing.
HEINZ!!!! The aggressive Ketchup 🤣🤣🤣🤣 made my day...
This was very useful to me, as a person who is learning to cook through watching videos on UA-cam. I think it is difficult to illustrate cooking instinct, with respect to both flavor and texture, in "normal" cooking with "normal" ingredients. Only when faced with challenging ingredients can you see the wheels turning in a chef's head and see their process for correcting flavor and texture. More of this, please.
Lambs head is a notorious traditional dish in/from Western Norway. The dish is called "Smalahove" and it might have been a good dish for the series where you guys guess where its from, but it is typically served with a side of potatoes and a mashed rutabaga which I think everyone on the channel will quickly hone in on Norway/Sweden particularly since rutabaga is also called "Swede". Very uncommonly used ingredient in other countries.
And the kicker is that they are served while still being an identifiable head, although cut in half.
A mashed rutabaga is called a bashed neep in Scotland. I think I prefer that name.
@@AnotherWittyUsername. neep and sheep has a good ring to it.
There's a bit in the middle where Mike is in awe when watching Kush work. In that moment, Mike is all of us at home. An actual genius at work! Love love love the content!
