      When I see someone having vodka (or any alcohol during breakfast) they usually have to give some reason for it like "Well, I'm on vacation.", "I only do it when having brunch.", etc. It's almost never, "Well, it's just a normal thing."

      Because an infotainment video rates better than a cooking instruction video. Also, Sorted recipes are usually paywalled in the sidekick app these days, so I wouldn't hold my breath for any "here's how we make a dish" video soon. [Edit: I love your idea for those videos! I just don't see them happening keeping in mind how the focus of Sorted content has changed over time.]

      yeah i think for almost all of them they got close enough that in Ben's place i would have given them the half point each, he mentioned at the start (the last one with the banana might be debatable). wouldn't change a single thing about the score though, so pretty irrelevant

      Yeah, most "countries" are just lines on a map, while the food ignores the border. And not knowing the regional food of Africa is kinda a given. It's a huge continent and most westerners (myself included) are unfamiliar with almost all of the cuisines in Africa.
      I'm Korean and cringe a bit went something is described as "tasting Asian" because the term is so vague and doesn't really mean anything. But I understand that the person using it is trying to describe what they are unfamiliar with in the most familiar terms.

    A few years ago (sometime in the 80's) there was a member of my extended family (I can not remember who) who went to Japan as an exchange student. She was told to never refuse any food and to always show appreciation for the hospitality - every morning she was given a different breakfast dish each one becoming more and more exotic to a white middle class Australian (in the 80's) until she finally had to admit that she could not eat breakfast that morning... The Japanese family laughed and the mother stated (something like) "we were wondering if or when you would ever say 'no thank you'... our children would have stated that they would not eat the breakfast a few days ago".
    They (apparently) did the breakfast on the 3rd or 4th morning she was there to show her something that they would have eaten years ago. when my cousin ate it they decided to see what else she would eat (always with a 'common' breakfast at hand for if or when she would say 'thanks... but no thanks').
    So (when she ate the food) they then prepared other and more unusual foods from around Japan - food that some Japanese people eat or use to eat but not the usual fare... Many of which were apparently festival foods or food from Japans history.
    When she finally stated did that she could not eat the breakfast. They laughed and apparently used the experience as a learning tool to explore what people do and do not eat in both Japan and Australia.

    The guess of Bulgaria for the second dish is quite accurate actually as we do have a dish exactly like it with the exact same additive sauce of vinegar, garlic and salt. Only difference is we make it with pork, don't eat it for breakfast, because if you down one of those in the morning you are not eating anything else for the rest of the day and we eat it during the winter season as both a soup and fully gelatinized substance due to the pork fat and the added gelatin. All of the Balkans have a dish like this, except Turkey.

    As a Mongolian, I knew immediately that those were buuz when the "soup" came out of the dumpling! You can also poach these parcels in milk and it's very tasty. I'm afraid seasoning in this cuisine isn't very exciting, as the climate is very harsh - sorry, Barry. We do have a lot of dairy products that are delicious though. For ex., aaruul are milk curds, and every non-Mongolian friend I offer them to absolutely hates the taste/texture haha. Might be a fun one for the exotic food challenges ;-)

    The name "Chocolate santafereño" comes from the capital´s old name. Bogotá was called Santafé de Bogotá decades ago, and the chocolate was a classic there, that's why it's called "Satanfereño". Chocolate con queso is definitely a classic in the center of the country, and there are many places in Bogotá that serve really really good chocolate! Thanks for featuring this dish!!!

    As a Colombian I saw the thumbnail and immediately recognized our delicious chocolate! Normally this is PART of the breakfast, not the entire thing, you can eat it with anything you want in your meal, like eggs, tamal, changua, etc. But also a "light" option would be the chocolate with the cheese and a piece of bread of your liking
    Also, the most appropiate cheese to use is quesillo, is an artisan cheese wrapped in banana leaf

    I wish you guys had done Encebollado from the coast of Ecuador. It's a breakfast fish soup. It sounds awful, but it's basically everyone's favorite food as soon as they try it.

    • @AFallingToaster

      @@SortedFood Ecuador has some hidden gems. It's such a small country and some of the food is so similar to Peru that it gets overshadowed and forgotten. One thing that definitely separates it from Peruvian food is that, for the most part, Ecuadorian food does not include spicy dishes
      Some of the best things to try:
      Encebollado - breakfast fish soup
      Seco de Pollo - a sort of stewed chicken that is served with the staple Ecuadorian sides: rice and fried ripe plantains
      Encocado - it's a coconut-based citrus sauce put over seafood like shrimp or a white fish and it's pretty dang good
      Hornado - Basically a whole slow-roasted pork, popular in the mountains
      Fanesca - a special creamy soup with fish and lots of vegetables made on Easter
      Cuy Asado - this one you guys probably can't/won't do, but it's rotisserie guinea pig. If you took a bite without looking, you would say it's chicken. Cliche, I know, but true.
      Horchata - No, not Mexican horchata. This is completely different. It's a purple tea drink made with a huge variety of herbs and flowers. Very unique.
      Bolon de Verde - I'm not a huge fan, myself, but it's a green plantain pounded into a sort of paste and then wrapped around meat and sometimes cheese. Often added to soup.
      Fruit Juices - Ecuador has the best fruit juices you've never heard of. Maracuyá, naranjilla, tomate de árbol
      Alright, that's my quick list. You could probably do Fanesca for a holiday food special, guessing what it celebrates. Horchata for a name mix-up thing. Encebollado for another breakfast thing. Cuy to see if the guys can tell what it is if given a carved piece. Stuff like that.

    The Armenian dish reminds me of locro, a squash based stew from Argentina. Locro is a staple around Argentina in May (along with humita, a dish similar to tamale). It’s definitely one of those soups that bubbles away for a long long time. Being American I was initially put off by the tripe, but it grew on me and I found the texture experience to be similar to eating clam chowder.

    I think Barry should have gotten half a point for being geographically close with Peru, plus part of Peru used to be part of Grand Columbia before it split into the many countries that are there today.
    I also think they both should have gotten a half point with the Mongolian dish considering the train of thought they both were on was spot on, however they both stepped off said train on the wrong stations.
    For me, Barry:1 Mike:2

    • @b_uppy
      @b_uppy Рік тому +1

I've used green bananas to make it in the UK and it's not quite the same, but close enough. Bonus treat, you can actually shred and stir fry the green banana skins as a vegetable, zero waste and very tasty! Maybe something to try in a weird food video.
