Ben: People have been saying my badge awarding has been a bit contentious... so I'm gonna start contentiously taking them away instead lool
Yeah but now we get to be contentious
@@zzskyninjazz1821 Also we still don't know what badge got taken away. Does that count as contentious as well?
@@Zestric People who have been watching would know that the Spice badge was taken away because someone was just guessing the spices so he did not deserve that badge.
@@XenonKirito No the spice badge was in an earlier video.
As I understand it there was another one taken away and only shared on like instagram or something.
The color on Mike’s rice dome was so satisfying.. perfect color!
It was perfection!
My mouth watered instantly and embarrassingly... I truly want to make something similar to this. Love lentils, love rice, can't eat yogurt or eggs.
Yess I was seriously impressed with the colour. The dome was so pretty
SORTEDfood The colour was perfect, but the method of making the mixture was in the wrong order. Start by whisking the egg and Greek yogurt, then add saffron, salt and pepper, mix again, finally fold in the rice. This way, you prevent breaking the individual grains of rice.
As a Persian, we want our rice to be very long and not sicky; no exceptions (bar rice pudding)
Hope to see more Persian recipes here soon. More than happy to help you guys out for this!!!! Feel free to reach out to me👍
Plus the cleverness of the filling and adding the eggs. He earned this win. But I feel for Barry, he really had some good ideas then lost on execution.
There should be a battle where the normals have to "defend" one of their badges. But the other two normals pick which badge the third has to execute during the battle.
Excellent idea!
Probably don't hear this enough, but y'all's camera crew and editor/s are fantastic. The perfect amount of time spent on both the cooks and the food, and we cycle through everyone enough that we get a good sense of what everyone is cooking without getting confused by constant jumps.
Amazing job.
this is really true.
(fwiw, I've heard them mention "Izzy" regarding editing. but I watch _very_ out of order, so that might not be relevant ... for this video anyway)
11:13 after years of leaving the hob on, Barry finally figured out the purpose of doing so. He certainly has grown the most.
:D
😆😆 excellent point!!
My thought exactly 🤣😂
I think Jaimie grew the most. Anyone remembers how chaotic he was? He’s a decent chef now! I can’t believe that’s the same Jaimie !!!
Favorite cooking videos: ones I can afford to replicate myself.
Would you make any of the dishes the guys made?
@@SortedFood Mike’s dish looks amazing to me and something completely unlike anything I have ever had.
@@SortedFood I thought Barry's looked delicious.
@@SortedFood I would give all three a try. Ebbers was right it wasn't so much picking the bad recipe as it was picking the less good recipe.
But Barry, needs to learn restraint, you should just kept his mouth shut. He tends to reach farther than he should and I think that's why he's suffered. he's already lost one badge, and now he has to loss another.
There has to be a badge around restraint whether the three of them have to take a recipe like a $50 plate of food and recreate it at a more affordable price.
@@markman278 Let us know if you give it a go :)
08:50
I really love Ben‘s compliment here. Some youtube cooking channels almost seem to want to make you feel bad for not making everything from scratch, not realizing that sometimes you don‘t have the time, budget or even energy to do so.
Takes me back to the beginnings of SORTED, when there was a heavier focus on such „cheats“.
You try being fancy when you are feeding 11 people on a budget! These tips and tricks would have been really handy back in the day!
Anyone who cooks from scratch regularly will tell you that it’s not always possible or efficient and sometimes a cheat/hack can help or even improve the process and dish
I think artificially removing a badge when everyone CLEARLY did everything to the best of their ability and under budget is bad. I think removing a badge when they clearly fucked up on something they should already know is when it matters.
Removing a badge for these dishes feels wrong because everyone did a stellar job.
Completely agree!
To be honest, the arbitrariness of the awarding system is bad across the board. I don't really even see a need for winners; if they've all done well, they should all get a badge. There's a forced competition element that's just not very enjoyable.
@@Thebookrat 100% agreed ! i was having so much fun watching the video until the end, bcoz i also completely forgot about the whole badge thing. everyone did such a fantastic job with their dishes and the way they executed it was also fantastic. everything looks so good. i really think there’s no point revoking any badges, unless it’s absolutely necessary (???)
He mentioned that commented disagreed with some of the badges and this is a chance for commented to remove a badge they don't think Barry should have had in the first place
I think Ben removed a badge from the wrong person today, since they were going to remove a badge.
Idk if y’all have done this, but can you do an mystery box battle for an improv badge? The contestants are given a mystery box of different ingredients and are forced to create something with no recipe
Great idea - will pass this onto the team :)
Just don't call the series "Chopped".
@@countessofmontecristo3849 They do that on like every cooking show on TV, it's not lie it's their original idea.
You used to have something like that.
@@countessofmontecristo3849 And masterchef did it and a whole bunch of shows. The try guys don't deserve any credit for something that is now universal.
Instead of just taking away a badge make him re prove he knows that skill but make the challenge/judging harder. I don't see why loosing a budget battle will make you loose your spices badge or whatever
IKR? ..that was a community idea? v.v we really are a fickle bunch..
"no to harsh, no to generous.."
He lost his spice badge because he couldn't say what was in basic spice mix... And he was guessing during the competition for it.
Agreed. It seems like something just designed to make thing"more exciting" like when they stick on an arbitrary time limit on a task where time doesnt really matter just to get the count down.
Spice badge level 2 if u lose you drop down to level 0
The Baz-Badge Redemption
Are we going to get a herbology badge put up for grabs at some point? I know the boys have been notorious for naming the wrong basic herb on occasions so a blindfolded identification badge and then a test to see if they can pair the best meat/food with use cases for each herb and maybe an on-the-spot meal to use two of the herbs effectively... that'd be a fun watch.
This was one of the closest battles in a while, all three dishes looked like they were a great success and thought all three deserved a budget hack badge, and Mike getting a creativity badge for trying a Persian inspired dish we rarely ever see in cooking battles.
“If I had to pick a hole…”
“You always do”
😂
LOLLLLLL
Wanted to write exactly this!!!
“Don’t say a-hole!”
@@SortedFood God bless Ben and his innuBendos
Everyone did so well, I don't think anyone needs to lose a badge this time
True I think if they lose because of a mistake the could lose a badge, but they were all brilliant!
Did anyone else literally cheer when Mike nailed that flip
Yes!!!!
I loved that everybody stopped what they were doing to go and watch.
All three were rather brilliant in this, I really don't think Barry deserves to lose a badge! Props to Jamie for the constant multitasking, one can really see how much he improved :)
*Undercooked potato is deadly.*
If Barry had failed miserably I would say he should lose a badge. The fact is, he didn't fail miserably. Actually, he didn't fail at all. Ben said both his and Jamie's dishes were excellent and basically it was a toss up to pick a loser. There's no way Barry should lose a badge!
He did fail though. He undercooked potatoes. Was his dish, as a whole, a failure? No. He did fail in his execution though. So did Jamie by overcooking the noodles. Who ever came in last was going to lose a badge. If Barry hadn't tried to prove Ben wrong, it might have worked out differently for him. Hubris is a dangerous thing.
The battle wasn't about a badge for this battle. It was about winning or losing a badge for a previous battle.
It only matters who lost, not by how much. The terms were clear, and Barry lost.
he always gets it easy with Ben's help
@@jemmaj2919 he doesn't he always gets picked on
@@thefishonland5216 There was a badge recently where people think he was being helped with too much. The pastry badge I think was the one?
Barry’s dish had the best hack with the soup packet. Mike deserved to win, but Barry did not deserve to lose anything.
Go and vote on our insta stories poll. Barry can still keep his badges if you vote in the right way :)
P.S that soup hack was genius!
@@SortedFood Just voted to let him keep his badge!!!
his potatoes were literally raw in some parts XD
He mainly lost for being a smart ass and trying to prove a point where there was no point to be made 😂 otherwise I think Jamie would have lost that one, seeing as a couple crunchy potatoes is less noticeable than a lot of over cooked noodles, imo
He cooked a wedge of dirty lettuce! He should lose on that alone.
Actually I'm just busy over here upvoting every comment that said none of the boys deserved to lose a badge today! If something goes actually wrong in a way that makes you rethink whether they deserved the badge, fine, but don't make them lose badges just for the sake of it.
Everyone did really well today- stayed in budget and under time. Barry had lots of good hacks, Jamie managed to actually use animal protein, Mike’s was unique and well executed. I don’t think Barry needs to lose a badge, as we rescinded his spice badge already!
Thats what I was thinking. If everyone did pretty well, surely a badge doesn't need to be lost...
He needs to lose his squid badge cuz he already earn the basic seafood badge, that badge shouldn’t have existed in the first place
Yogurt and cream cheese and eggs are animal proteins. If you mean meat, say meat.
Rescinding the Spice Badge was fair, THIS is not.
@@piodo7885 No cause his squid badge can be seen as a special ingredient badge, similair to what mike was going for when he went against ben in the mystery box challenge with the sizuan bud flower.
Can I just say that Jamie has really been showing he has multitasking down? Like, as a manager in a professional kitchen, multitasking and keeping up with several things is one of the most important skills going, and his ability to just prepare well executed dishes is far more useful in a kitchen than the creativity of the other 2 (again, strictly from a professional kitchen standpoint; creativity is much less valuable on a line than consistant execution)
I agree that while Jamie usually sticks to tried and true flavors and may not be as fancy or creative with his cooking as the rest, he's usually the most consistent and well-prepared when he cooks. In episodes like these where they can prepare (basically not pass-it-ons), he's usually the one with the least panic and is the most organized.
@@chaosic08 Well, when he doesn't have a surprise speedball thrown at him by either a change in task or a mistake somewhere. He's done his share of floundering, but I think it's made him better at being unflappable when a surprise rears its head. Mike and Barry have a tendency to take a moment panicking, which isn't good in a timed contest (or in a busy professional kitchen).
Barry should get a chance to defend his badge, whichever is picked. Just in case the community chooses one that is absolutely deserved.
I’m wanting his pastry badge revoked because he quite frankly showed he had zero idea how to do it and Ben held his hand through every single step
I would love to see the video of him defending his badge
Yea would love to see him have a chance to defend his badge
This is a great idea!
Totally love the idea of them getting to defend the badge...but with no warning of the badge their defending ahead of time *insert evil laugh here muahahahaha*
I feel so bad when Baz gets a badge taken away. Especially when he tries.
I really feel for Barry. They all did so well I don't think any of them deserves to lose a badge over something that was done well.
Wasn’t expecting a packet of soup and microwave rice to go into the dishes.
And Barry’s budget tip. 😂
Good hacks though huh!
@@SortedFood they really are! That’s what being creative with a small budget is all about.
As someone who eats my fridge and pantry down to literally nothing, I would have considered regular rice (and probably the eggs) as a pantry ingredient. It's something I would realistically have bought for something else, or wouldn't mind to shell out for since I know how many more meals would be FREE because of it.
@@adde9506 They don't even have a rice cooker. The most commonly eaten food in the entire world and they never seem to know what to do with rice.
Sadly, this is the reality for people who have to buy groceries with a tight budget. We usually don’t get a good price/product ratio, or can make the healthier, smarter or more environmentally friendly choices, because the small budget won’t allow us to, for example, buy five pounds of rice for $4, since we can only afford one pound-bag for $1.50. In the end, we end up paying more for less product and more packaging that harms our environment and our wallet.
I gotta say, guys. I just discovered this channel over the last few weeks and it has helped me through a REAL rough time. Your chemistry is hilarious and laughter infectious. Thanks for being one of the few channels that can actually make me cry from laughter. 🙏
Oh lucky you binge watching it from the start!
@@katrinaguiney6005 LOL yeah... sometimes being late to the party has its upsides. 😅
wait until you find the episodes featuring tyrone and ben's red shorts 😂😂😂 the inside jokes of sorted are some of the best
Their “ lost and hungry” episodes are fabulous! Found those during lockdown and fell in love.
@@keawarren I would actually really like to see more of that series! I love it when they travel and absorb new foods and cultures.
YESYESYES this format is back! i love it when all three are battling it out at the same time!!!
Couldn't agree more! Original sorted goodness
Yesss!! The best kind!! I do miss the costumes from old times though 😂
I really loved Mike's dish. It was so creative using regular ingredients and serving them in a unique and refreshing way. I would love to see a video of the same dish explained in detail and done without budget constraints.
Vote up if you agree!
Barry deserves more for this... EVERYONE knows if you're on a budget you make stir fry and rice dishes.... his was super creative with the best hacks.... and honestly.. I'd rather ear under cooked potatoes than burnt garlic
No, under cooked potatoes gave me the worst food poisening I've ever experienced
@@bernardohchongching224weakness
"it's not that bad" *crunch* "okay, Barry is the loser"
I laughed so much at that, he just can't leave well enough alone....LOL!
Honestly , undercooked potatoes is one of my biggest problems. I only know two ways to make potatoes that turn out just right and I never go beyond those two methods because I get it wrong otherwise. If I had the budget, I'd experiment and practice more, but I very much don't. I also can't stand food waste, psychologically speaking, so I literally can't afford mistakes.
@@jaggerra7 Cooking time of different potatoes can vary wildly, but if you cut them all in same thickness if one is cooked they all are. Just poke one with a knife, if it slides easily, you're all set.
@@jaggerra7 you can pick up a 50lb bag of potatoes for like $8 in the US. they're the cheapest thing you *can* experiment on. you can keep some frozen so they don't go to waste and cook them slowly over the course of months. check out local prices, you might be surprised at how inexpensive potatoes are.
I feel like they keep shooting Barry down without giving him enough chances to equally rearise.
Squid Badge
Mike I have to say your Tahchin looked fantastic. I work with a 12 year old boy with autism and this is one of his favourite things he will make by himself (his family are from Iran). He would have happily polished off your creation!
The taking a badge thing might be a bit much. Especially when everyone does a pretty good job.
agree. cruel. leave the badges alone
I honestly don't think they deserve to lose a badge this time round. They did really well!
Can we get Jamie's spiceology badge revoked for that travesty of a "char siu?" the curry paste sent me lmao
Right? Just don't call it char siu if it's that significant a departure from the original I reckon.
yesssss! the moment he said char siu and then proceeded to pull out bacon, i was out. they should have a culture badge.
Glad Mike won that one. I don't know if he meant to, but I think Mike understood the spirit of a low budget challenge. The dish he chose was perfect. It is a staple meal, using staple ingredients. Mike's dish can have leftovers. It can be reheated later. It looked morish, which is what anyone on a budget that low is hungering for, and that crispy texture is such a gratifying part of that. Honestly, if someone put all three of those in front of me I'd have B-lined for Mike's.
The way Ben mouthed “I’m sorry” to baz at the end, aww 😢
He's not sorry though is he. He's constantly screwed Barry over throughout these badge challenges.
@@mattmaccallum8210 Barry's been screwing himself over, by being, well, Barry. At this point, I'd award him a consistency badge, because he's consistently the same from one task to the next.
don't let Uncle Roger come back and see Jamie putting marmalade in his stir fry....😂😂😂
Yeah..... he probably wouldn't be very happy! 😬
You already know he would hate the use of packet rice. Wonder what he would hate more?
Just don't let Uncle Roger come back.
@@ispellitjustg Packet rice for sure, random ingredients that taste good in stirfrys are regular... calling it charsui on the other hand...
@@escapist83 There is a reason I DON'T watch that episode.
I cheered when Mike flipped that pan - not only because it was a success but to see his reaction
This was such a good episode, thank you guys. No losers today from my point of view. Awesome knife skills, Barry!
One of the things I really liked about some of the budget hacks is that the guys could explain why they worked.
Ex. Jamie's use of marmalade instead of honey when he discussed the sugar content and how it fulfills the role of honey+
Same. I enjoy watching the battles for fun, but I genuinely learned a few things from this one.
When Barry took the early lead on badges I was really rooting for him. Oh sweet summer child was I
How does removing a badge when they lose a battle resolve Ben potentially awarding them badly? It presumes that not doing as well as the others means they've done poorly. Which is not what the badges are about.
barry using the chicken soup packet for it's thickening agent was very clever.
They should get "popquizzed" on their individual bagdes to decide if they get to keep them or not. To make sure they weren't just guessing or lucky.
Like Barry with the spices badge? Yeah, I think that should happen more. :D
Yess
exactly. If Barry gets quizzed, so should the other two.
@@sarafontanini7051 He got the flak cause it was timely done and the community didn't like that he got the badge.
@@KusuriyaV But the fact that they didn't take away Jaime's badge for not knowing the difference between meringues says that they unfairly focus in on Barry.
I actually clapped when Mike’s flip worked! Perfection!
Watched it multiple times
Ben is beyond harsh when it came to the outcome of this video, he said way worse things during the tasting of Jamie's dish and then gives the loss to Barry over a cruchy potato.
UNDERCOOKED POTATOES CAN BE DEADLY
OVERCOOKED NOODLES ARE NOT
just in terms of usable tips, this is one of the best videoes in a while, i think. I also don't think barry should lose a badge for such a good dish, thats a shame. he followed the spirit of the challenge perfectly.
Audible sigh of relief with Mike’s rice dome flip. 😮💨 🥲 😅
It was tense!
"Baz, spuds, talk to me" God, Ebbers looked so done with everyone's shit when saying that.
Always so interesting to see the differing prices of ingredients internationally! The comparison of the price of carrots vs. peppers brought me right back to my broke college days when carrots were an everyday snack and bell peppers were a treat, but these days I'd be falling over myself if I could find a jar that size of *any* pesto for under 50% of that budget converted to US$. I live in an area with a pretty high cost of living, though, would be super interested to know if $1.25ish (if my math is correct) is typical in other parts of the country.
Ben quietly cleaning up after the guys while Barry is talking. So funny
I don't think Barry deserves to lose a badge* over this, he made a good dish!
How could you take another badge off him? It would be like kicking a puppy? #savebarrysbadges
Berry always deserve to lose a badge, just because its fun to se.
Yeah wouldnt make sense to get rid of a badge for this performance, after he's already had some taken.. questionably.
How about loosing a badge specifically related to properly cooking potatoes/managing his time? He did genuinely screw that up. Although, I don't think loosing badges is the answer, I think the answer is making sure they EARN them. Barry didn't know a darn thing about spices and shouldn't have had That badge in the first place.
@@adde9506 I mean, undercooked potatoes are dangerous.
He served a dangerous dish.
No one else seems to get that.
It doesn't matter if 99.9% of his shit was perfect.
Undercooked potato getting on the plate is enough to keep him from winning any badges and enough imo to take one away.
Because he put a dangerous component on the plate that he should've been able to tell was dangerous.
And yeah, if he needed to cook the potatoes faster he shoulda cut them smaller and then boiled those pieces.
They all did so well it feels unfair to take a badge away from any of them.
2 minutes into the video and i can't contain my excitement when i heard Mike say he was going for a "Tahchin" inspired dish! Please guys do more Persian related cooking! It would make my heart happy!
This, honestly, was, at the time, some of the most efficient and beautiful cooking from ALL three guys. There was a supreme amount of focus and confidence in everyone, even with some of the doubts Mike was having with his dish, it came out lovely. What a great job from the normals on this episode.
A tip: if you ever wanna drain yogurt, put it in a cheesecloth, secure it as tightly as possible, and tie it around the tap above a sink and let it sit for a few hours( depends on how wet the yogurt was before). The water will drain out.
Yeah I didn't think he could get that greek yogurt any thicker than how he bought it 🤣. had it been a more looser kind it'd be a different story
@@misterkayy yup
Sure, but he only had 40 minutes.
2 things: i think they deserves to loose badges when they dont uphold the standards, but This week they all did good and deserves to keep them all. And all deserves the budget badge, as they all did a Great job.
2. Soup and stock battle. You had a chefvchef battle, on ramen, something of that kind, since soups can lack so much flavor
Nah, remove the technique badge for cooking lettuce without a pan.
@@ItsPillfish Remove the technique badge.
Give him an improv badge instead, that was genius.
Whoa whoa, so Jamie overcooked his whole amount of noodles, the staple of the stir fry, and Barry undercooked less than a third of his potato and lost!
I demand a recount!
Right? Not to mention that it's really easy to fix undercooked potatoes. Rice noodles were, as you said, the absolute basis of Jamie's dish. And you CAN'T UNDO overcooked noodles. That's irreparable, unlike Barry's mistake!
@@deprofundis3293 Barry ***served*** undercooked potatoes.
Which are deadly.
Undercooked potatoes absorb moisture and expand inside of the digestive tract and bowels, leading to them causing bowel obstructions.
While its easier to fix an undercooked ingredient than an overcooked one, overcooked noodles have quite literally NEVER killed people, whereas undercooked potatoes actually have.
So Jamie overcooked rice noodles, which don't become poison if you overcook them.
Barry put something that could kill you if you ate it, cause... *He can't boil a potato right the first time?*
Love the budget battles! Really brings out some unique dishes. I wanna try making Mikes dish for sure.
.. and I don't think Barry deserves to lose a badge, all three were really cool.
I knew Mike would win even before they started. He burned his garlic and forgot his lemon and used prepackaged rice and still won. 🤔
I appreciate how Mike's packet rice perfectly explains why it's more expensive to be poor.
i mean if you plan on eating rice for more than one meal, just buy the bigger bags of uncooked rice 🍚 (speaking from broke college student experience)
I know what you mean, and it's said a lot. But I'd rather frame it in a more constructive way:
Shop efficiently. Find a different way to save £3 right now so you come out better in the long run.
@@Alexa-qv7kr appreciate the sentiment but for others who live paycheck to paycheck, it's a major problem that can't be solved by people saying "just manage your finances better 🥴"
@Alexa yes….but if you’re at the point where you only have $5 to spend on food that day, no other food available otherwise, and your choice is to either only buy that big bag of rice, or the small bag of instant rice along with some other food to go with it, sometimes you choose the latter. Sometimes you choose what is more fulfilling now, and deal with the rest later.
(This coming from someone whose been in different types of “poor” situations. Sometimes “I literally only have $5” poor, “I’m a broke college student” poor, and “I’m poor, but I have what I need” poor all hit different, and all of them come with different solutions at different times.)
(This is also coming from someone who probably would choose that big bag of rice no matter what because I like the flavor of rice and have eaten just rice for many a meal, but it can be really damning for the morale for some people).
@@whatwhatwhatttttt okay but coming from someone who has literally lived paycheck to paycheck, it literally is about managing the little money you have, and making every penny stretch. So buying more rice for slightly more money gives you way more food than prepackaged anything. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but thats mine
Meh, I don't like taking badges away from the loser. It seems like it gives the leaders an even bigger lead and puts the losers (Barry) even farther in the hole each time they fall behind. Feels like it could get unbalanced pretty quick.
Dunno, Jaimie's overcooked noodle's were a larger part of the dish than Barry's potato ends. So i think Jaimie's flaw is larger i size but less noticeable.
Bunch of veggies/meat with some uncooked noodles can be given a pass, as stir fry is more about everything else than noodles. A potato dish, where potatoes are not cooked... Its like expecting people to like your uncooked eggs in an omelette because you got the seasoning right. Also, overcooked is always better than not cooked through.
Im still bewildered at how he managed to boil them, bake them and still have them raw.
@@Qlicky it's only the ends that are thicker that didn't cook through enough. The rest were fine. It's like finding a few cold uncooked fries in your bowl vs a bowl of over cooked fries.
At least the overcooked ones are consistent, but they are ALL overcooked.
@@Qlicky Except you can fix slightly undercooked potatoes in one minute in the microwave. Overcooked noodles are permanent and irreparable. That was by FAR the bigger error for that reason alone!
@@Qlicky also anyone who actually has more than just a passing familiarity with Asian or Italian cuisine knows it's a cardinal sin to overcook noodles.
Barry leaving the hob finally makes sense! This is what it’s all about. Singularity has been achieved.
The last 10 years have been building up to this moment 😂
@@SortedFood Future challenge for the boys.. the "Barry Taylor Challenge".. Cook a dish without using any pans or pots, only the hob.
Will Barry get to redeem himself and earn a cloud egg badge? 😆
😆😆😆
After reading the comments ever since this whole badge thing started. Definitely feels like people are focusing and being way more critical of what Barry is doing compared to Jamie and Mike.
I agree, people tend to be much more cruel to Barry. I've noticed that for a long time. It makes me root for him more even though I otherwise have no preference and love all of these guys. I don't know, there's some kind of weird bully culture going on here or something.
Although, this is the first video I can remember where most of the top comments are defending Baz (as they absolutely should in this case). So I guess there are exceptions when it's a really truly clearly unfair case.
He won badges that he didn’t even earn and badges that shouldn’t had existed (squid badge I’m looking at you). I say the criticism is justified
@@piodo7885 squid badge was essentially replacing the basic seafood badge
@@malcolmlake2450 Except he also got the basic seafood badge for his Laksa.
Which means he has two of the same badge from your estimation.
The reason why Barry looked down when he brought up badges that shouldn't have been awarded is because he *suggests* badges that don't exist when he doesn't qualify for one whereas Jamie and Mike don't get any of those badges and instead have only played for the one that was supposed to be offered.
" Its cheaper than honey."
one of my all time favorite quotes ever for some reason haha
I don't think it's fair for Barry to lose a badge, it feels like grading on a curve. All three did excellent on the test and showed off their skills and what they'd learned. It feels like saying "what you did was great, but because Mike did something that slightly interested me, you fail."
That was the best, non-flappy normal battle ever! Love seeing some of the pre-2020 content coming back now that health and safety limitations are lifting. I’m not sure I’d have picked a loser. Great vid, boys!
This was great, I’ve missed these so much! Also, classic Ebbers cleaning up the work stations in the back at 4:45 😄
No silly costumes...
No pranking/messing with the other cooks...
Everything turned out good...
This is a great video.
I'm really starting to pity Barry during these kind of videos
I think he gets too overconfident.
Besides these videos are to help them improve. By the end of this we want everyone to become Chef tier.
@@PutthePCinmyHands The other normals are pretty harsh towards him for what he does but not towards each other, nor is Barry that towards them, so yeah i'm also starting to pity Barry.
@@SateHap it's not just the guys, most of the viewers are also after Barry's ass trying to put him down in nearly every video when they couldn't achieve even a quarter of what he does.
@@captainace1277 Well, I dont know about other videos, but he didnt achieve much here. The dish he made is as simple as it gets, and he still got it wrong. The rice dish was at least 2 times more difficult to pull off, and stir fry can be fucked up very easily.
Making a potato dish where potatoes are not cooked through... Im sure you would have returned it at a restaurant or be very dissatisfied with it. Overcooked noodles? Not great, but edible.
Barrys soup packet was such a genius hack. That actually blew my mind and it made total sense as Ben explained it. Very well done Barry!
I think I might have to try all of these dishes, they all look amazing and interesting! Great video guys, I’d like to see more of the budget meal vids!!
You guys have really hit your stride post pandemic. I am REALLY enjoying the badge videos. I am glad you are all being safe and cautious it is an excellent message to get out there.
Barry did a great job, feels unfair that he'd lose a badge.
Undercooked potato can kill people, its fair.
idea for the next battle: all three have to make a proper dish out of super pretentious/ "posh" ingredients used in "fancy" restaurants, and they are judged by how the use of each ingredient compliments each other (e.g. fancy potato dish meets truffle)
All three dishes looked fabulous! Amazing and well-done. I want to try all three but the rice pie and potato dishes are intriguing. Great hack on the marmalade. I hadn't thought of that, but it makes fantastic sense.
Loved that Mike did something very different. An idea for a future battle could be: Weekly Mid Week Budgets. Together, the guys do a shop under a budget but then individually must make a meal each (4 portions) where they can use others leftover ingredients to earn extra points.
This time Barry's dish was my favorite
CONGRATULATIONS, Mike! Well done! No Huttlestorm today and you did it! 👏🏽
I think Barry should keep all of his badges. I love these battles and enjoy seeing you guys cook.
Back after several months and I just realized my mom's tortilla casarole would satisfy this battle's requirements, and as a Texan, beans'n'cornbread would too, and that last one definitely is considered a meal!
That lentil rice pie dish looks amazing!
I still think Jamie and Barry should lose their meringue badges after they messed up the Italian meringue in the pastry battle
Cough Jamie messed up. Barry's just wasn't perfect.
@@b4history32 yeah I’ll say Barry made up for his lack of contribution towards the meringue badge with that one. Wasn’t perfect but he did it
I love it when stumble upon a Sorted video I SOMEHOW missed. This, is awesome!
The packet rice @6:24 was actually an excellent example of the cost of poverty, like buying a cheap pair of shoes three times in ten years vs. one nice pair in the same time. Having to settle for what you can afford in the moment
Heres an idea for future battles: As someone who has to survive months with less than 50$ CAD for food, i have to cook with the same boring ingredients quite often because thats what i get from the food banks. So i would love to see you guys attempt to make 3 different meals with the same 5 ingredients without adding anything else but cheap spices and flour/butter/milk. The biggest challenge when you cant afford food is to not get bored from the same ingredients week after week so you often have to get really creative in order to get some flavour profiles you cant afford. Chears!
Excellent idea.
I really like this idea!
"Yesterday I stuck things up my nose"
Wait, what?
"And to the back of my throat"
Oh, covid test. Got it.
I just had one again the other day so I knew immediately and it gave me goosebumps ughhh 😱
Lol! That had me puzzled as well, and if you don’t know the context, the bit is so full of innuendo.
So many meal ideas in these. Thanks for that, in addition to the entertainment.
All three of these looked so good, I wanna try all three! I really hope there are the recipes online because guaranteed, I will be making these soon!
I love Mike because he finds a way to spin burnt garlic into a Caramelised Garlic. #NailedIt
And he still ended up winning despite it!
is it just me or did this battle seem like a budget Masterchef battle?? they were all so good and so neck and neck
I don't think anyone deserved to lose one here, they all did brilliantly!
I was working when this came out(that was a while ago but I fell asleep), it is a wonderful thing to come home (wake up)to watch a sorted video. It really is amazing and always makes my day better. Thank you once again sorted
Can we please get an, Ultimate Risotto Battle
This would be great! Who doesn't love a good risotto?
I feel like this has just become a bullying Barry contest at this point.
He does make it so easy.
@@nanoflower1 They're bullying him even when he doesn't do anything yet, though. Like, sure, at first it was funny because he *is* quite cocky at times, but now it just constantly happens. . .
Plus, this applies to the badges as well - when Jamie messes up (not this video) and forgets things, he keeps his badges - Barry, on the other hand, gets his taken away. And in this case, it could've just been ruled that it's 50-50 and no losers.
I mean, I think it’s equal opportunity bullying to a degree. It kind of rotates - awhile ago it was bullying Mike, and before that they were constantly poking at Jamie ;)
Ah the collective sigh of relief for mike when he turned that pan over...🤭...The boys did really really well..none of them deserve to lose a badge...
“Bazzlar. Spuds. Talk to me.” Why did this make me giggle so much
