@@JohnyScissors How do you figure that? They have a complete office with other workers where I'm sure they'll spread it out and either eat it, or let them take it home for the holidays.
I've really enjoyed the added banter in the last few "paired" review videos, and I imagine it's a bit easier on the crew because they don't have to film twice? More of the paired reviews, please!
Also they don't need to buy 2 of expensive items. Like in the easter video, for the giant expensive eggs it's clear that one of them actually opened the packs and the other just tried it. It's quite understandable.
Don't know why gold leaf is such a big deal.. Its pretty damn cheap in south Asia.. It makes me laugh when I see videos about the mist,expensive desserts in the world.. Literally costing hundreds of dollars just cos it has a liberal amount of gold leaf on it.. Here's a tip.. Next time you are in or have a friend visit India ask them to pick up some for you.. Gold and silver.. Thats what I do.. I have a huge pack of probably 250 g in the larder right now.. Had it for years since I don't use it that much mainly cos I forget its there! It keeps really well..

my dad has a musical biscuit tin with a little handle on the side that you turn for a silent night. and we whip it out every year and refill it with our homemade biscuits. it's an important christmas tradition in our house
God, yes! My parents had one of those 'golden' musical bells which played silent night and hung from the ceiling every Christmas. One of my earliest memories is being lifted up to make it play before going to bed. While not a fanciful child, I firmly believed that little men lived inside that clock to make that music. My parents have been dead for decades, and that bell now lives my my closet to be hung in my house during Christmas. It's important. It's not Christmas unless that bell has tingled 'silent night'. That bell is made from plastic and cardboard, and such musical bells were, apparantly, in vogue in the Fifties, when my parents married and started their family. Anyone else looking at it would see horrid tat, but to me, it's still the magical Christmas clock that four year old me was allowed to make play before going to bed.

It’s super interesting to me that hunting to you guys in the UK is seen as more of a posh thing that rich people do, whereas in the US hunting is seen as more of a country/rural thing, and the city folk are seen as the more posh and pretentious folks. Trophy hunting is still seen as pretentious here in the US, but at least in my area hunting (for food) is more of a working class rural thing.
Ingrid Dubbel I get that, I’m just talking about the class connotations. Hunting is rarely-to-never associated with stately country manors in the US. It’s associated with the rural working class.
You need to own land or need to get permission from the owner of the land to hunt (hard enough to find the owner of the land), depending on what you hunt you will have to be quite wealthy, in my family we live in the country side and we get all sorts of birds and rabbits through our garden so that's relatively cheap to do
Land is immensely valuable everywhere in Europe with 750 million people around similar size land mass as US (without Russia) and has been fully cultivated. Sweden and Finland are essentially the only places in Western Europe where population density is close to US and there hunting is not seen posh, while certainly not lower middle class thing either after all the permits, equipment and needing to be part of a local paid hunting organisation.

"Bushidō is a Japanese collective term for the many codes of honour and ideals that dictated the samurai way of life "... yeah, straight away makes me think of coffee. 😂😂
Find the frugality in the way of coffee by adding richness not in caffeinated beans but in pouring out material wealth, honour your guests with your sacrifice and show swiftness in preparation for the unexpected who pass you by. Find honesty in admitting it is nothing more than cheap instant coffee with panache. Be loyal to what otherwise is your cheap daily fare by only adding leaves to enhance its physical beauty not its physical taste. Never forget your self-control because why bother having another cup. The Bushido is strong. lastly, find the wisdom in your action to never repeat it and either brew a decent pot of coffee or buy the cheap instant and have ready supply of irish cream to fix it.
Why not? Once you have bought something you can do whatever you want with it. They could of put it on their heads and danced around while singing christmas songs. Or even of used it in a food fight. Bring in a clown and splat the clown in the face with it. So many options, no?
I REALLY enjoy Barry and Jamie being the judges together and then the giggles from the peanut gallery 😂 as always liked video before it began 👏 HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE WHOLE CREW! 🎄
I dunno if this helps your ~algorithm tailoring~ and whatnot, but I I definitely come back to your christmas videos several times throughout the year! There's just something special about the cheer and novelty and relaxed fun that makes them such a joy to experience more than a few times.
Yes to the pheasant!! Nothing better than a British pheasant! My nana used to make a pheasant, partridge and pigeon pie and it was gorgeous, please do more with game!! I love the fact you’ve included pheasant! Not pretentious at all
My brain tripped up at the start when Mike said "These two to." It sounded like a glitch! 13:10 at least we know what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction now.
I would definitely buy the musical biscuit tin; it is darling, and lovely shortbread cookies/biscuits! I just love watching you four gentlemen, a good time is had by all, including me, many thanks, and happy holidays!

While Ashens and NerdCubed suffer with an advent calendar of Spices, the guys at Sorted got a Marshmallow one. I think we need to have them meet up and do a switcheroo at the end of the year.
We have pheasant and venison for Christmas dinner which we get during hunting season. Commercial pheasant does NOT have lead shot since they are raised on farms and culled like chicken, turkey. What I LOVE about the marshmallow Advent calendar at $30 is its a product made by a small confectioner, NOT a mass produced factory item and the boxes can be used again for future Christmases, and it's a unique gift. For gifts we are making almond cranberry biscotti, and pistachio biscotti with one end dipped in 70% cocoa and then some wee bits of edible gold. Sheets of edible gold are affordable and make for a fun addition to cake, cookie decorations.
I am currently eating artisnal marshmallows right now. These ones are watermelon lemonade, I've also got bourbon, black currant, rum and coke and raspberry rose marshmallows in the kitchen. The texture is better, the flavour is better, the overall enjoyment of just a single marshmallow is better. Once you have a good marshmallow, you never go back to those horrible, flavourless, gelatenous cylinders you buy in the regular grocery store.
I really love the partner up format of the pretentious ingredient/gadget review videos! It's fun watching the pair working out what the hell this stuff is. So please more of that!
I really needed James for the christmas gifts for foodies and this christmas pretentious ingredients! Last yr when he got the game of thrones egg cup and the lunch bag and the Sorted chef jacket etc etc, was just too precious for words
Oh if only I could, I’d give each one of you a tight big hug for being just who you are! You bring me joy like no other food channel does. Bless your beautiful souls. Merry Christmas ❤️🥂🤗

@Crow Most of those food studies flip flop in their outcomes. Plus this is a 'supplement' chocolate. The whole Supplement industry is a massive sham so yea, id be dubious on this, especially the 10 year thing
@@SortedFood on your side of the pond, pheasant hunting has a very different connotation. Over here in America, the Midwest, it's a standard game bird in line with duck. It's commonly served at a hunter's table next to a venison roast or similar. Seeing it elsewhere is rare even in fine dining.
@@otm646where I live in the UK it's round the country side so pheasant is quite common, they kind of just walk about it, not uncommon for one of the neighbours to come shoot them
My brain is an absolute sieve, I was watching you all the time then the stupid bell thing started and you dropped out of my notifications! I saw you in a recommended for bon appétit, and was like “OH YEAH! I love these guys!!” So glad to have found you again.
That was my thought, if you're having pheasant for Christmas or Thanksgiving in America, it's probably because you don't have any money and you just went out and shot one
Just in case you were interested, the reason it's viewed this way in the UK is due to what land you can/can't hunt on. Here, the only land that you're inherently allowed to hunt on is that which you own, otherwise you'd need the expressed consent of whoever owns the land. Even today it'd be a struggle to locate and contact the owners of the type of land you'd typically want to hunt on, let alone find someone willing to grant you that permission (especially given how much is government owned), but in the past it'd have been almost impossible. As a result, being able to hunt has basically become synonymous with "owning large amounts of land", or in other words, being extremely wealthy.
Good explanation, thanks! Most of what I know about non-US hunting is from fox hunting. And of course in the US, we mostly hunt on public land, during hunting season.
@@amys3168 fox hunting is a sport so even here it's frowned upon really, the laws have changed though; it was made where the dogs can't kill the fox they just scare it so a hawk can get to it, the dogs used to attack the fox what made it a slow death so they changed it for it to be more moral I guess.
3 years later I see this. My husband goes hunting in North Dakota for pheasants so it is a regular staple for us in the fall. Not pretentious at all if hunting is something you enjoy. And pheasant are wonderful to eat in many different recipes.
OMG we have pheasants all over here in northern Michigan. I have so many recipes and have got to enjoy them cooked in so many ways I can't count. It's far from pretentious I'd say but it's so plentiful here. You guys are all so amazing. Lots of love from Michigan ❤️
Ben: super simple cooking Also Ben: butter, red wine, thyme, dried fruit in the cavity, sultanas, dried herbs.... Everyone: *just a reminder, we’re all normals in the audience*
We used to get pheasants every year as my dad knew the local gamekeeper. We’d roast it wrapped in bacon (so it would become extremely crispy) and serve it with Cumberland sauce.
at first I assumed it was a Japanese brand that was just trying to branch out into a larger market, but then I checked and......turns out it's a European company, possibly Russian. It does seem to be sold in Japan, but most of the reactions I can find are mocking it outright for being overpriced and dumb.
This probably sound truly bizarre, but I have struggled with my eating for about a year now. I used to watch your videos a few years ago and rediscovered them back in the summer. You have really really helped me to normalise my relationship with food and regain my love of cooking and experiencing amazing food! Thank you , for not only making me laugh out loud, but also for helping me to get back my LOVE OF FOOOOOD❤️❤️❤️ Oh, side note - Barry turn your sodding hob off!!! Xox
Well panettone isn't bread, is a cake. Still that's quite a lot for a single one, and I'm saying this even though I've paid 40-50 € for ones made by high end pastry chefs.
@@MrEmigliore I am in the states they said bread so I thought they would know better than I. Either way there's no way I'm paying €200 ($263.88 USD) for a baked good.
Jamie is my spirit animal!! Between the “we just walked into a horror movie” then, later biting into a crazy expensive panettone. I mean this is why I love Jamie!
Just for the record: Any food with gold in it, is inherently pretentious, it cannot not be pretentious. It adds nothing other than looks to the foodstuff. Also for the record, there's no way the gold leaf in that pannatone cost a £100, gold leaf is a lot cheaper than people think it is. Gold leef is extremely thin, so its kiloprice, is actually nigh on non-existant.
@@ClaudioGrieco uhm, not if you want the best (and even if you just went in your regular pasticceria I'd doubt it would be 15€ for one kilo of artisanal panettone).

it must be Christmas!! Barry and Jamie going through a pretentious ingredients video and they actually agree with each other?! It's a miracle!!! Merry Christmas everybody!! And happy holidays to anyone who's not celebrating!! :)
My family makes potica around the holidays every year (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter) and I remember going to a Slovenian butcher with my boyfriend for the first time and he saw that a small loaf of hand made potica was selling for $30. I did the mental math and was like, yeah that makes sense. He thought I was mad but the ingredients themselves are kind of expensive and it takes a long time and a lot of work to make. Not pretentious, just traditional and premium. I love how sorted always thinks about that distinction in these videos.

"Bushidō is a Japanese collective term for the many codes of honour and ideals that dictated the samurai way of life "... yeah, straight away makes me think of coffee. 😂😂
It's also a German rapper's name haha
Find the frugality in the way of coffee by adding richness not in caffeinated beans but in pouring out material wealth, honour your guests with your sacrifice and show swiftness in preparation for the unexpected who pass you by. Find honesty in admitting it is nothing more than cheap instant coffee with panache. Be loyal to what otherwise is your cheap daily fare by only adding leaves to enhance its physical beauty not its physical taste. Never forget your self-control because why bother having another cup. The Bushido is strong.
lastly, find the wisdom in your action to never repeat it and either brew a decent pot of coffee or buy the cheap instant and have ready supply of irish cream to fix it.
@@axolotllan And excellent read my good sir
@@lovecinnamonxx I totally thought it was his merch at first :'D
@@rosalily6966 lmao that would be fucking hilarious 😂
I would have loved to see James react to the £200 cake.. he would have gone bonkers 😂
Exactly the only thing that could make this video better... James. Still a great vid though.
When Barry says something's pretentious, you know it's the most pointless, pretentious, boasty thing ever 😂
Pretentious instant coffee?
*the ouran highschool host club would like to know your location*
Classy..
I think that every time 😂
Seeing Jamie taking a bite out of the cake and actually screaming at my phone “NO, don’t you dare” as if yelling at one of my none existent kids...
It's not a cake though.
Why not? Once you have bought something you can do whatever you want with it. They could of put it on their heads and danced around while singing christmas songs.
Or even of used it in a food fight. Bring in a clown and splat the clown in the face with it. So many options, no?
I REALLY enjoy Barry and Jamie being the judges together and then the giggles from the peanut gallery 😂 as always liked video before it began 👏 HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE WHOLE CREW! 🎄
We have baught my grandma the musical biscuit tins in the past. Usually the ones from M&S.
im very sick right now...... thanks, team, for making me feel a little better. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Get better soon!
SORTEDfood Thank you 🥰
Btw, regardless of the golden one which is of course a joke, 30 quid for a panettone made by Sal de Riso is 100% worth it. He's a panettone superstar
I dunno if this helps your ~algorithm tailoring~ and whatnot, but I I definitely come back to your christmas videos several times throughout the year! There's just something special about the cheer and novelty and relaxed fun that makes them such a joy to experience more than a few times.
Best pretentious review yet! love Jamie’s “cos it smells nice” at the end, I burst out laughing on the train 😂😂
Yes to the pheasant!! Nothing better than a British pheasant! My nana used to make a pheasant, partridge and pigeon pie and it was gorgeous, please do more with game!! I love the fact you’ve included pheasant! Not pretentious at all
My brain tripped up at the start when Mike said "These two to." It sounded like a glitch!
13:10 at least we know what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction now.
I would definitely buy the musical biscuit tin; it is darling, and lovely shortbread cookies/biscuits! I just love watching you four gentlemen, a good time is had by all, including me, many thanks, and happy holidays!
"think of how many caterpillar cakes you could buy with that"....I love Barry lol
Jamie: Pulls out a gold cake
Ebbers: reads out some nonsens pretentious story about it
me: this is a £200 cake isn't it
Mike: this is a £200 cake
I FRIGGIN CALLED IT
It's not a cake though.
@@lilithhedwig5408 you can call a panettone "bread" all you like, but when it's layered and iced then it's a cake isn't it
@@Tarantulah people layer and ice panettone? As an italian I've never seen that, not for a traditional one anyway
@@CallMeFi exactly what I meant, the one in the video is layered and iced, so I'm saying that pretty much makes it a cake
Jamie going head first into that Golden panettone is a whole mood right there LOL
i'm only 2 minutes in, but i'm liking it when both of you are reviewing items at the same time so far.
I can't decide which horrifying sweater is my favorite.
It's a close one! 😂
I love ugly Christmas sweaters. Have fun.
I spent 3 weeks looking for an ugly sweater, and not once came across Christmas Lobsters.....Gutted.
@Celienet Isn't Ben's tie the one from the suit he wore in Sorted's Christmas Carol?
Mine was hands down lobsters with hats. Adorable.
While Ashens and NerdCubed suffer with an advent calendar of Spices, the guys at Sorted got a Marshmallow one.
I think we need to have them meet up and do a switcheroo at the end of the year.
- this tastes like instant coffee
- this is... instant coffee with non edible pretentious particles
There is only so many ultimate battles I can watch before I need a new sorted video but you guys always deliver🤗👍
🙌
Ok, but I really like that you can use the marshmallow advent calendar boxes for years to come
We have pheasant and venison for Christmas dinner which we get during hunting season. Commercial pheasant does NOT have lead shot since they are raised on farms and culled like chicken, turkey.
What I LOVE about the marshmallow Advent calendar at $30 is its a product made by a small confectioner, NOT a mass produced factory item and the boxes can be used again for future Christmases, and it's a unique gift.
For gifts we are making almond cranberry biscotti, and pistachio biscotti with one end dipped in 70% cocoa and then some wee bits of edible gold. Sheets of edible gold are affordable and make for a fun addition to cake, cookie decorations.
If shipping to the US wasn't 25 pounds that cookie tin might have to be mine.
Awww that’s so sad! I was thinking of getting it too!
I am currently eating artisnal marshmallows right now. These ones are watermelon lemonade, I've also got bourbon, black currant, rum and coke and raspberry rose marshmallows in the kitchen.
The texture is better, the flavour is better, the overall enjoyment of just a single marshmallow is better. Once you have a good marshmallow, you never go back to those horrible, flavourless, gelatenous cylinders you buy in the regular grocery store.
Y'know, I always wondered what was in the Pulp Fiction briefcase... I never would've guessed it was a £200 panettone! =O
I love you for saying that 😂😂
I really love the partner up format of the pretentious ingredient/gadget review videos! It's fun watching the pair working out what the hell this stuff is. So please more of that!
Serious question: where can I get a hold of the lobster-xmas sweater? Love it.
I really needed James for the christmas gifts for foodies and this christmas pretentious ingredients! Last yr when he got the game of thrones egg cup and the lunch bag and the Sorted chef jacket etc etc, was just too precious for words
When Jamie said "were we supposed to eat it or rub it on our skin?!" I got major SpongeBob vibes XD
I got prime minster of Canada vibes XD
Thank you so so much for adding subtitles! So excited to be able to watch Sorted again 😊
No one:
No one at all:
Salvatore De Riso: "More gold leaf"
Surely you meant "A-More di a-leafeh d'ORO, ma che fai!"
I can't wait for this miserable meme to die. Please stop.
Oh if only I could, I’d give each one of you a tight big hug for being just who you are! You bring me joy like no other food channel does. Bless your beautiful souls. Merry Christmas ❤️🥂🤗
All of the Christmas sweaters are amazing 😂 seriously considering getting the lobster one mike is wearing for my brother. Great video as always!
This is one of my favourite episodes. I love what you're doing and can't wait to see what new things I can learn through your experiences. Keep up the amazing content. 10/10
I highly highly highly doubt that chocolate is really 'scientifically proven'
@Crow Most of those food studies flip flop in their outcomes. Plus this is a 'supplement' chocolate. The whole Supplement industry is a massive sham so yea, id be dubious on this, especially the 10 year thing
I heard "independent" and translated to "not peer-reviewed". 😅
@@beth12svist exactly
I was given a music box biscuit tin for Christmas as a kid. That music box stayed with me for years and gave me such joy at 3am. My mum? Not so much.
I grew up eating pheasant and it is great in a sauce. We always made pheasant and dumplings.
This sounds great!
@@SortedFood on your side of the pond, pheasant hunting has a very different connotation. Over here in America, the Midwest, it's a standard game bird in line with duck. It's commonly served at a hunter's table next to a venison roast or similar. Seeing it elsewhere is rare even in fine dining.
@@otm646 its deemed fine dining in America as well.
I grew up eating pheasant also....sour cherry sauce. Yum! Hated cleaning them and you eat very carefully...no chipped teeth from the buckshot 😁.
@@otm646where I live in the UK it's round the country side so pheasant is quite common, they kind of just walk about it, not uncommon for one of the neighbours to come shoot them
Just over here quarantined and watching happy christmas videos.
Just put the cloche on the normals and the chefs. Pretentious or not, you decide.😂
LOLLLLL
Jamie's giggle when he pulled the panettone out was legit Christmas morning type of excitement
Ben's "£30 a jar" bit makes me wanna see him working a market stall 😂 such a lad
My brain is an absolute sieve, I was watching you all the time then the stupid bell thing started and you dropped out of my notifications!
I saw you in a recommended for bon appétit, and was like “OH YEAH! I love these guys!!”
So glad to have found you again.
In the US, hunting has a completely different connotation.
I had the same thought, very interesting to hear that view point.
That was my thought, if you're having pheasant for Christmas or Thanksgiving in America, it's probably because you don't have any money and you just went out and shot one
Just in case you were interested, the reason it's viewed this way in the UK is due to what land you can/can't hunt on.
Here, the only land that you're inherently allowed to hunt on is that which you own, otherwise you'd need the expressed consent of whoever owns the land.
Even today it'd be a struggle to locate and contact the owners of the type of land you'd typically want to hunt on, let alone find someone willing to grant you that permission (especially given how much is government owned), but in the past it'd have been almost impossible.
As a result, being able to hunt has basically become synonymous with "owning large amounts of land", or in other words, being extremely wealthy.
Good explanation, thanks! Most of what I know about non-US hunting is from fox hunting. And of course in the US, we mostly hunt on public land, during hunting season.
@@amys3168 fox hunting is a sport so even here it's frowned upon really, the laws have changed though; it was made where the dogs can't kill the fox they just scare it so a hawk can get to it, the dogs used to attack the fox what made it a slow death so they changed it for it to be more moral I guess.
Had a terrible day. Came home from a long day at work to this video, and...thank you. You all were quite a bright spot.
"Why are you looking up there?" "Cause it smells nice." 😳🤣
3 years later I see this. My husband goes hunting in North Dakota for pheasants so it is a regular staple for us in the fall. Not pretentious at all if hunting is something you enjoy. And pheasant are wonderful to eat in many different recipes.
When I used to live the UK I sent one of those "esthechoc" boxes to my mom in Brazil, she never finished it!
OMG we have pheasants all over here in northern Michigan. I have so many recipes and have got to enjoy them cooked in so many ways I can't count. It's far from pretentious I'd say but it's so plentiful here. You guys are all so amazing. Lots of love from Michigan ❤️
Ben: super simple cooking
Also Ben: butter, red wine, thyme, dried fruit in the cavity, sultanas, dried herbs....
Everyone: *just a reminder, we’re all normals in the audience*
An episode on yeast spreads would be interesting: Marmite, Vegemite, NZ Marmite, Cenovis, and Vitam-R. Compare, contrast and see if you like them. :)
7:20 100% thought Barry said "Nah, owl," instead of "Not at all."
Same
Love having them all together to discuss the products! So much fun!
i’ve said this for the past 2 videos but pretentious pass it on. order has to be highest to lowest rating from the previous video
Brilliant
We used to get pheasants every year as my dad knew the local gamekeeper. We’d roast it wrapped in bacon (so it would become extremely crispy) and serve it with Cumberland sauce.
naming instant coffee "bushido" is like kim kardashian naming her underwear line "kimono" x_x
at first I assumed it was a Japanese brand that was just trying to branch out into a larger market, but then I checked and......turns out it's a European company, possibly Russian. It does seem to be sold in Japan, but most of the reactions I can find are mocking it outright for being overpriced and dumb.
This probably sound truly bizarre, but I have struggled with my eating for about a year now. I used to watch your videos a few years ago and rediscovered them back in the summer. You have really really helped me to normalise my relationship with food and regain my love of cooking and experiencing amazing food! Thank you , for not only making me laugh out loud, but also for helping me to get back my LOVE OF FOOOOOD❤️❤️❤️
Oh, side note - Barry turn your sodding hob off!!! Xox
I can't with the gold covered bread. I might be bias because I am allergic to gold, but I could never justify paying that much for flour.
Well panettone isn't bread, is a cake. Still that's quite a lot for a single one, and I'm saying this even though I've paid 40-50 € for ones made by high end pastry chefs.
@@MrEmigliore I am in the states they said bread so I thought they would know better than I. Either way there's no way I'm paying €200 ($263.88 USD) for a baked good.
@@MrEmigliore not a cake though! But I agree, good artisanal panettone is really expensive.
Not THAT expensive though ahahaah
Jamie is my spirit animal!! Between the “we just walked into a horror movie” then, later biting into a crazy expensive panettone. I mean this is why I love Jamie!
Barry saying the chocolates were not pretentious.
My first thought: “well that’s just because you’re Barry!” 🤣
Love the new paired off format...it’s much warmer!
See... We like each other really! Haha
SORTEDfood I always love the more relaxed content, showing your friendships🥰
Just for the record: Any food with gold in it, is inherently pretentious, it cannot not be pretentious. It adds nothing other than looks to the foodstuff.
Also for the record, there's no way the gold leaf in that pannatone cost a £100, gold leaf is a lot cheaper than people think it is. Gold leef is extremely thin, so its kiloprice, is actually nigh on non-existant.
And you shouldn’t pay more than €15 for an artisanal panettone
Not even looks, it's price. They could add glitter to that coffee and the visual effect would be similar, but gold looks expensive
@@ClaudioGrieco uhm, not if you want the best (and even if you just went in your regular pasticceria I'd doubt it would be 15€ for one kilo of artisanal panettone). Example www-dissapore-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.dissapore.com/spesa/panettoni-artigianali-i-30-migliori-del-2016/amp/?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQCKAE%3D#aoh=15761081408093&_ct=1576108154175&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=Da%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dissapore.com%2Fspesa%2Fpanettoni-artigianali-i-30-migliori-del-2016%2F
Just the cost of the canditi alone would make it more expensive I'd think
it must be Christmas!! Barry and Jamie going through a pretentious ingredients video and they actually agree with each other?! It's a miracle!!! Merry Christmas everybody!! And happy holidays to anyone who's not celebrating!! :)
Barry: Why are you looking up there?
Jamie: because it smells nice
Lol
My family makes potica around the holidays every year (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter) and I remember going to a Slovenian butcher with my boyfriend for the first time and he saw that a small loaf of hand made potica was selling for $30. I did the mental math and was like, yeah that makes sense. He thought I was mad but the ingredients themselves are kind of expensive and it takes a long time and a lot of work to make. Not pretentious, just traditional and premium. I love how sorted always thinks about that distinction in these videos.
