Frozen food, especially veg is a lifesaver for me as someone who lives alone. No wastage and can have lots of variety without risking them going bad before I eat them.
Which ones hold up better? Brocolli and cauliflower were terrible in terms of texture for me.
As a single guy who lives alone, fresh produce is a lifesaver. It doesnt taste like garbage, it tastes how it's supposed to and I'm only cooking for myself, it takes very little effort and a little goes a long way!
@@RBonfas Like Ben said, it depends on application. Broccoli is great in things like a stir fry or curry dishes. But if you're eating it by itself, it won't be comparable to fresh IMO.
I got divorced in 2008, and I had such a hard time with cooking for one without tossing out way too much in food waste. I grew up in a family without much money, and food waste was a big sin when I was kid. I guess it still feels that way, but I've since married the love of my life so now I cook for at least three. My wife, myself, and my dog Winston all get at least one good home-cooked meal seven days a week.
As a student I couldn't agree more. The cheaper cost, less wastage, more variety, ease of cooking and no room taken up in my tiny fridge space make any lost in texture work it with frozen veg
We need a short or something of the behind the scenes of the food team preparing food for videos like this… I can just imagine Kush deviously laughing giving the boys increasingly difficult things to eat blindfolded
this is amazing! Something like "Day in the life of..." would also gives us insight on how a well organized professional kitchen works (not saying the lovely normals aren't professionally organized...)
Great idea.
And bring back fridge cam
Came to the comment section to say how I would love more behind the scenes. To the best of my knowledge, we've never had a proper tour of the studio/kitchens! We get little glimpses, but I need more!
We need a video. I HATE shorts and they're destroying CZcams.
Great idea..... and spot on..... Kush is exactly like that 😆
As a disabled person, I was really struggling to get any vegetables in my diet. The preparation and effort meant when I did buy fresh produce it would usually end up going to waste. Frozen veg has been an absolute LIFE SAVER for me recently. I am so lucky to live in an age where the industrial freezing process has come so far. It is so easy to chuck some frozen green beans in the microwave, or frozen brocolli florets into a pan. No prep. Just quick, accessible, HEALTHY food!!! This video came out on the same day I tried frozen corn on the cob for the first time and MY GOSH, it was so sweet!!! Would definitely recommend 🤘x
I don't know if they do it where you are, but I've recently started getting bags of mixed frozen peas, corn and diced carrot - with some leftover rice (highly recommend a rice cooker as well, they're so handy!! just rinse the rice a few times, get the right level of water in, and come back to perfectly cooked rice) and some condiments from the fridge and pantry (my combo is soy sauce, mirin, ketchup, and some stock powder) you can put together an easy fried rice in about 5 mins! Great to chuck an egg into too. We also always have a bag of frozen peas in our freezer - great way to add some extra veg to some pasta, or even just microwave it for a quick snack.
So glad to hear this 😀
Food processor and baby carrots are also a huge lifesaver
Thre fridge the size of airplane so its maybe even beter quilty
I dun have the same issue, but adding a bit extra to like when I do potatoes, like adding in a bit of frozen broccoli or carrots really adds something extra to an otherwise basic meat and potatoes meal. So I get what you mean. Or just add the frozen broccoli to a pan post-meat frying to use those juices and oils already there to help crisp and flavor the broccoli in a way that you dun get from just boiling it.
"For your pleasure." - He got that coming haha.
He walked straight into that one!
I'm glad the boys caught that whole "tie-breaker" thing and it wasn't just me. However, it would be cool to have something waiting in the wings to break future ties.
Ben's focus on sustainability and reducing food waste is one of the very many reasons I love this channel :D
You guys talk about 'in season' veg so much, it would be great if when you talk about it, a pop up on the screen could show the season - so many, including myself are trying to learn 😂😊
In season is different depending where you are?
It could just say the season rather than the month, like "late summer" as opposed to august
Internet search
"What fruits and vegetables are in season right now"
@@nicolad8822, absolutely. Below the equator seasons are reversed. Above the equator huge countries like Russia, Canada and the US are going to have very different produce in the north as in the south depending on the season. I live in central Missouri. I do have access to fresh seafood because an outfit here trucks it in daily from Louisiana. That's a 15 hour drive, minimum (have done it). So of course that seafood is pricey! I'd just as soon have local caught freshwater fish, catfish, panfish, bass. Just as tasty, much cheaper.
I would imagine the reason they haven't come up with a list is due to the worldwide nature of their audience.
That being said it would be nice if they came up with at least a generalized list for the UK/Europe and for US/Canada. I would imagine the vast majority of their audience is in one of those two regions.
That bit with the lime in no 1 was hilarious. I was giggling so much my daughter actually came to see what was up. She's been reenacting the lime squeeze since then. 🤣
Love this 😆
There was an issue with the parathas. The fresh ones are just plain chapatis. Sometimes parathas and chapatis are terms that might be used interchangeably. Whereas the frozen one is a butter paratha of a different kind.
Yes I was thinking the same also the "fresh" one wasn't an actual fresh homemade one lol it was still store bought and reheated so unless kush made it himself I wouldn't class it as fresh
@@saalihahussain8759thats exactly what I thought
Absolutely correct.
@@saalihahussain8759The parathas are classed as the ingredient and like all of the other ingredients in the video were store bought both in fresh and frozen forms. I think it would be cheating if you just bought frozen ones and then just made some from scratch, The ones made from scratch will always be better IMO. I would actually technically class the frozen as more fresh in this case as they are freshly cooked 🤣
@@iChilledLMy “issue”with it is that all the others were clearly ingredients that had then been prepared in the same way. The parathas aren’t an ingredient so the differences between the two are a lot more than just frozen or fresh. Specially served in such a minimal fashion compared to the rest.
NOTHING tastes like a fresh in-season cob of corn. I am from Minnesota and when you go to the farmer's market, the farmers have bowls of raw corn to try and it is incredible. But, nothing like when you make it at home. Incredible!
Agreed from here in Wisconsin. So much great sweet corn grown within a short distance from home.
The Sorted guys need to visit the Minnesota State Fair where delicious food is on a stick!
I'm usually a microwave girl, but the few times I've had fresh watermelon in season and fresh mustard greens harvested from the soil that I ate seconds later...not even in the same universe.
Fellow Minnesotan, I was thinking I could never buy corn on the cob out of season because of how good it is here IN season!
Agreed. I'm in Idaho, and we like to get our corn from a local you-pick or the same farmer's market, or from another farmer that sells in a nearby parking lot
two identical looking dishes presented
Ben: You have to put blindfolds on while you eat, it's essential
I found that they had the blindfolds annoying
To be fair, sometimes they do differ. The parathas looked nothing alike.
@@tastymedleyssame as the lobster salad
Barry slapping Jamie with a paratha is pure comedy.
Reminded me of Laurel & Hardy. 😆
I think what if like most about this channel is the bickering always sounds like people who have known and loved each other for a long time. Reminds me of my own friend group.
"2 of our normals". Nope... 2 Normal, 1 Sous-Normal. He earned that red apron.
Just the other day I picked up the stir fry veggie mix at costco in the hopes that it would make it easier to include a veggie variety in my regular cooking and so far it has indeed been a game changer. It's so easy now to add just a handful or two of a very nice mix of different vegetables without having to plan my grocery shopping around it and deal with all the excess food waste, plus the fact that since I'm cooking for one a single serving is rarely more than one bell pepper or large carrot so this way I can actually have a full variety at basically any time.
Agree on thoughts of packaging vs transportation. As an Indian, keep a store cupboard of flour and make paranthas fresh. Better for environment and flour has long shelf life. Great Vid Guys!
Great idea! Glad you enjoyed the vid too :)
@@SortedFood😊😊😊😊😊
I think frozen foods have a great place. But you need to know what you want. As for me, I have just been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney and a lot of frozen foods have phosphorus (as do other processed foods) so I have to read the labrls and stay away from phosphorus! Sigh!
My literal first memory is being a toddler on our farm with my mum picking corn, and to keep me occupied, she gave me an ear. The taste of fresh corn is unrivaled. I can close my eyes and remember it like it was this afternoon.
What a wonderful memory to have ☺
I’m glad you featured a Canadian item. I wish you would visit the Atlantic region of Canada to really experience our seafood and shellfish. Also please add some Canadian canned seafood to your canned foods episodes. I think you will be very impressed
0:50 Dom: "for your pleasure"......i spat out my tea lol
gotta love the Sorted team lol
We had a neighbor growing up who did corn research developing new hybrids that were disease resistant. They grew several acres of corn, but only needed. The kernels of a few ears for the research. We would get invited out to pick corn, from the field to the cooking pot was half an hour. Best corn on the cob ever.
Corn is super easy to grow. Half a dozen plants is enough for 2-3 people and it's simple to freeze any surplus.
My grandparents grew corn. My grandmother would put the pot on to boil, and once it started simmering she would send us out to pick the corn. Picked, shucked, and straight into the pot. Nothing beats it.
Best corn I had was picked and barbecued within a minute. So sweet.
Indeed. Here in New England there is fresh, there is farm stand fresh, and there is have water boiling before you go out to the corn patch fresh.
DELICIOUS 😋
A colleague of mine recently changed my mind on frozen veg and fruits (freshness factor) and frozen veggies have been the lifesaver for me the last couple of weeks.
I've been really sick and weak and putting on some vegetable broth, some tiny noodles and some frozen broccoli florets was really easy and felt very nourishing.
I don't think I would've had the energy to chop up a whole broccoli and I for sure would've ended up with food waste.
Great video as always! ♥
I have never seen two men be so sad that they didn’t get dessert so I am officially starting a riot. We, your fan base, demand that Jamie and Barry get martini glass desserts immediately and have proof of happiness provided on your instagram by the end of the day.
The corn conversation is interesting to me because corn on the cob is one of those things that I simply never consider outside of corn season. There are plenty of ways to enjoy corn kernels, which are excellent from frozen, the rest of the year.
Great video. Can we please have more of the frozen vs fresh comparisons, it really helps! 😊
Sure thing! So glad it helps :)
I really appreciate that you give the sustainability and packaging load information with these tests, because for me waste and the reduction of it through my purchasing choices is VERY important to me =)
the frozen paratha's at my local asian supermarket were a total revelation when I found them. so easy to make. really smokey to fry. Knew it was B as soon as I saw them. TOP TIP - DON'T GET THEM OUT EARLY. you want them to be frozen solid when you put them in the pan. as soon as they defrost they're impossible to get in the pan and you just have a lumpy dough.
Wondering if putting them into air fryer makes a difference. Some things like frozen egg Rolls taste fresher after air frying
@@pookhahare they really need to be on a flat surface. as they defrost they change into a sticky dough and then crisp up, so when in the sticky dough phase they wouldn't want to be on anything not perfectly flat. think sticky pancake until they become crispy and amazing.
@user-lb2xy4fs7e use a parchment liner for flat surface?
@@pookhahare sounds like far more effort than just cooking them on a frying pan imo - the instructions tell you to flip the parathas every 30 seconds or smth until they're done.
Great tip! 👏
Any chance of the indo Chinese chicken recipe? Looks amazing
From Maine when I hear frozen lobster. I always think packs of frozen lobster meat, not a whole lobster frozen. The packets of frozen lobster meat are normally the lobsters are considered 'ugly' missing a claw, half grown claw, barnacles etc that are cooked, shelled packaged and flash frozen.
From the other side of the bay, I’d expected like cooked frozen canners or something, not a big ol 2 pounder froze solid. The contents of that glass were unrecognizable as lobster on the screen, like you could easily tell what the fresh one was, but not that
Frozen veg and fruit are lifesavers for Canadians in the winter 😊
"It's not dessert!" 🤣🤣🤣
their pitiful cries got me 😂
Barry isn't normal he's the sous chef!
Bazz smaking Jamie with the bread was outstanding 😂😂😂
Great watch! Hope there’s more to come for this series, would love an episode on frozen ready meals vs their fresh counterpart
it's so weird to see frozen veg cheaper than non-frozen, because I live in an agricultural country (and town) and usually when it's frozen it's pre-cleaned, selected and therefore, more expensive lol
Yes I feel the same too.
The price difference is transportation and handling costs. Frozen food can be packed densely, then moved without particular care or rush. Yes, there's a cost to freezing it, but the cost of fresh food climbs rapidly with distance from the farm but it's a much flatter cost for frozen.
It is because it was corn. no waste in your kitchen, and corn has just a few days shelf life fresh
Yeah, same. I have to keep reminding myself that Sorted is filmed in the UK and most of their fresh produce is imported. (And the locally-grown stuff isn't great anyway, to be honest, having lived there for a while.)
@@HaralHeisto In my country fresh produce usually costs less than the frozen. Fresh corn on the cob costs you 27 bucks while the frozen one costs 45 bucks. I am comparing supermarket prices which are marked up. I am not even adding the cost of fuel to me when I am taking my bike, car etc to the shops. We do have vegetable vendors who sell on push carts and who come to your colony/ street/ locality etc. They sell it at least 10 bucks cheaper than the supermarkets. So unlike UK it is not all economical to buy frozen stuff.
The lobster for “dessert” was just cruel 🤣🤣🤣 but I’m laughing my head off on a train on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and that has honestly made my evening 😆👌 ta team!
Would love to recipe for the chicken drumsticks pls. Hoping all the ingredients are avail here in Australia.
Sorted definitely change my behavior into embracing frozen ingredients and I’m grateful
That conversation at the end between Barry and Jamie was so good. Had me rolling 🤣 But as always, wonderful video guys. I love watching these and it's so informative. Also the ones with the "pick the premium". Really good to know where to invest my money. My personal favourite frozen food have got to be raspberries: since they usually freeze the freshest ones that won't make it to the shop without going bad, they're usually really really sweet and honestly, they make a great snack instead of ice cream. also, for cooking/baking, nobody will ever know.
😀We're so glad you enjoyed the video.... and find this type of content so informative and entertaining too
Next you should do shop bought vs homemade. Which products are worth making at home and which are just as good (or even better) when store bought, factoring in taste, cost and effort...
I’ve missed this so much! I loved it when you guys did it last time.
Learning about frozen vegetables blew my mind
During the fourth round, I totally fell out of my chair laughing at their reaction. Funniest thing on the internet today :D
Chronic conditions here.
Frozen food means we eat veg which we wouldn't if i had to cut and prepare them.
And the food waste is null for us because nothing goes rotten if i can't prepare it in time
I have a relatively large family so I use mostly frozen products when possible because I can buy it in bulk and use as much as is needed at once. So these videos have been really helpful in deciding where it matters in getting fresh, and where it might be better frozen. Because of this I now buy more frozen veg than I used to which saves time money and often delivers a better, more consistent product. So the corn is an interesting result for me.
I'm crying, the way Barry moved the corn the actual SECOND Jamie started squeezing the lime 😂😂
Loved it! Just before Barry said about the tiebreaker I asked myself I wonder what the tiebreaker is lol
We lived in an area that had corn fields so we would go to a roadside stand outside the farms, buy the in husk corn and then toss it in the freezer in the husk. Honestly never found there to be much of a difference at all, but when you're craving corn at -40C in the middle of January and pull it from the freezer, you aren't comparing it directly side by side. Either way still tasted a LOT better than the pre cooked cans of corn on the cob that were the only thing I knew as a child since if it wasn't a sunday dinner veg (potato, carrot, parsnip, turnip, onion, cabbage) it was difficult to grow and even harder to find in my area.
The frozen, uncooked and pan ready Roti/Paratha was an absolute game changer for me.
Also, despite how buttery and flakey they are, almost every single brand I've come across has actually been incidentally vegan, with no butter or animal fats. Those little things blow my goddamn mind.
Love this! Comparison videos are one of my favourites!💕
I recently discovered frozen udon noodles (previously I had always found them in airtight packaging and it would affect the texture of the noodles a bit)... Amazing, perfect texture and they're ready to go in about 4 minutes. They're awesome for really quick hot pots.
I love frozen udon noodles! thrown into a broth/water with carrot, onion, and a few cubes of Japanese curry roux makes a quick dinner
That's awesome 👏
I'm shocked it wasn't Ben saying "for your pleasure" - also shocked after so many years of working with Ben that Barry would even utter that sentence!
I just started cooking a bunch of food on Saturday and then freezing it so we have good during the week, because I don't have time to cook due to school and a go time job. So far, the third had been delicious. Such a time saver for us
I'm only 4 minutes in and that description of the fresh corn is reigniting my urges to start a garden. Nothing will ever compare to plump juicy sweet corn that was picked the day you cooked it.
Frozen Udon noodles are the best. Takes 3 minutes to warm them through, great taste, great texture and better overall quality than vacuum sealed ones. Mind you, if you can get fresh, fresh is best. I heat them through while finishing a meat/veg/sauce stir fry and add them in at the end.
It's like my life isn't complete until there is a new sorted video to watch. any chance another monthly marathon is on the way in the future? December was fantastic
For the corn comparison, you should have gone for corn from the same stores.
Of course it's going to be more expensive at Waitrose!
My comment re price difference was deleted for some reason. It’s only marginally more than Tesco or Sainsburys.
The frozen chicken where I live in the store is pumped full of water. In a 5lb(2.2kg) bag of chicken, I had about 2 cups worth of liquid. That thick chicken breast, apx 1 inch+, is now 1/2 an inch thick at its larger end. So your mileage may vary depending on your stores brand. Our fresh stuff loses very little moisture but of course that is if it is actually fresh, it may just be frozen and thawed from a different supplier.
The Shana parathas are stupendous! They cook brilliantly in an air fryer - but you *must* preheat the fryer first for flaky results. I take these home to France all the time 🥰
The quality of frozen corn and corn on the cob varies spectacularly between brands here in Australia. How do different brands compare in the UK?
One of my favorite lunches is a frozen Scallion Pancake with soft scrambled eggs ontop. The pancake has that lovely crispy flakiness to it all while collecting the copious amounts of hot sauce I use :p.
That sounds stellar, I must try this. Favorite hot sauce?
@@gateauxgato tbh I use like a Korean hot sauce from T&T
Can't stress how much I love you guys for captioning videos properly instead of just auto captions.
14:56 i wasn’t watching my phone just listening and i swear it sounded like someone passed gas…. went back to double check LOL!!!!!
Video idea for the channel: do a version of Bon Appetit's Reverse Engineering.
Ebbers or Kush present the blindfolded normals (either two of them or all three) with a dish, and they have to work together to recreate it, without ever being able to see the dish, until the final comparison at the end.
You could even do Jamie and Mike vs Barry, since Barry earned the Sous Chef title.
I love using frozen ingredients so I’m sure this will be fun! I don’t think there’s much in it, definitely not enough to make having fresh perishable food a preference
Loved the video, as always! Can I ask, whatever background music you used (see 3:00 - 4:00), please change it! It kept making a sound that sounded like the Microsoft Outlook reminder tone and I kept thinking I had missed a meeting invite hahah
Freezing can alter the chemical composition of food, which is quite interesting. The breakdown of cell walls caused by crystal formation can lead to enzymes breaking down starches and complex sugars into simpler sugars, resulting in a sweeter taste.
Would be great to see you guys touch on the topic of free range meat and meat sourcing etc. Like those frozen drumsticks for that price is insane, they must be some serious cage farming behind those cheap prices. As a food channel I feel like you have a duty to discuss sustainability, ethics and everything else involved with ingredients and food. Thanks!
This was so educational! Thank you so much! Learnt a lot. Especially appreciate the scientific explanations.
Frozen parathas are the way to go. Shana are good, Humza are better in my book. I always keep some in my freezer for curry nights. I've even started using them in place of tortillas for making wraps at home!
I have some go to foods in the freezer all the time. Tricolor bell peppers, for soups and stews. Frozen pearl onions, they hold their shape in crockpot recipe, (I also used diced onions to melt into the dish). Mixed berries that I add to yogurt or oatmeal.
I live in Maine, just north of Portland. 71 yrs old, never heard of anyone spooning lobster....😂😂😂❤❤❤❤. Amazing as always
It might be fun to do a test with frozen "stuff" for a year or longer vs frozen "stuff" from the supermarket
I quite often think that there is not much nutrition left in a sad veg that has been transported half across the country (australia) , languished in the fridge drawer for a week or two.
I came into being a fan a couple of years ago, so if you have covered this I may have missed it. But what about methods for preserving food, such as after a allotment or small garden harvest where you may have more of ______ than you can use at one time.
Check out their _Chef Skill Challenge: Leftover_ video. They did that there :D Can't recall at the top of my head whether they have other videos about preserving extras.
I buy a lot of frozen veggies and certain ready meals (thank you, Picard!). They're so handy to keep at home.
Entertaining, and educational! To each, there is a time and dish!
the indo- Chinese chicken looked amazing, please say its on the sidekick app?
the best part of these has to be watching blindfolded people stumble around trying to eat food without getting it everywhere and failing. XDDDD I love you guys and your willingness to risk needing a shower after an episode.
No joke about how quick corn begins to degrade. I worked a couple summers picking corn and at the mid point there was a huge community corn festival/fair and we had to set GIANT kettles (we're talking industrial size that several people could sit in) up in the fields themselves that had been picked and start cleaning and chucking corn into boiling water within less than 3 hours for the fair goers (granted - it was a community where sweet corn is a big deal - most of us became corn snobs REAL quick) because there really is a difference. And if you want the sweetest and best, the clock goes QUICK.
Crazy timing!
MinuteFood just made a video that explains part of what freezing does to your food. And this video basically confirms a lot they explained.
Some frozen veg can also be useful in first aid. Frozen peas in a tea-towel around a sprain an held reduce swelling. I've also slowed blood flow from a gash by chilling the skin with frozen veg. Cold reduces blood flow quite well. Also another time I found a colleagues severed finger & got it to the hospital for reattachment nestled in an unopened bag of corn niblets. 🌽👍
I was shouting at the screen at the food wasted on the table 😂
They REALLY need the blindfolds?
Ah why not I'ts funny to watch you guys rummage about ...😅
Nice video
Learned a few things.
Not on being clumsy, got that mastered.
Growing up, we were able to buy corn from farmers who had picked it that day and we cooked it that same day. Nothing else like it!
I grew up on a farm where we had a large family garden too. We were spoiled. Also even a million years ago (or it sometimes seems that way) in the 1970's commercial corn would be picked and rushed to the cannery where they were frozen within twenty four hours. I had a really fun summer college job working in one of those for a brain numbing 12 hours a day up to seven days a week. They did not do whole cobs much then. Still at least with Green Giant, which was the top brand in the US, there was as little delay as possible.
Needless to say I was off corn for quite a few years after leaving the farm and being over exposed to corn in a factory.
he doesnt understand sports at the end got me fr
i love everything yall put out and watch it regularly! thank you for the consistently high quality content you put out
I love these types of videos because they help with cooking at home
I would love a canned food vs frozen food ingredients tasting
16:15 Thank God Ben explained which life we had to end in the kitchen
Incredibly informative content. Very entertaining too
Could you do a behind the scenes video of Kush preparing these fresh vs frozen dishes once? It’d be so cool to watch after we’ve seen the results!
For the frozen paratha - I usually keep the plastic sheets that keep them apart to reuse.
GREAT IDEA 👏
As someone who was raised in both Mexico and the US, it never would have occurred to me to buy frozen corn. The climate, especially in Mexico, means that corn is pretty much in season year round.
Loved the bit at the end, poor Ebbers 😂
I love this format!! Such a good way to understand the actual value for money of certain foods. However, please please PLEASE give the guys a plate each to put their food on: I can't seem to focus on the content when all I see is corn smeared on the table 😂
also depends where you live - getting live sea fish in lanlocked country is nearly impossible if you dont live in big cities
Fresh spices v powder spices mike v ben 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In Canada we live off corn on the cob all summer long. I've NEVER heard of frozen corn on the cob made commercially. We do freeze our own however.
I was terrified that Barry was going to punch Jamie in the head when he swung the paratha. Good job on only slapping him haha
Freezing corn is going to reduce the sweetness of corn because the simple starches separate from the water that is carrying them and putting the genie back in the bottle is more complicated, but that is assuming you have access to super fresh corn like I did growing up on the ranch. Also boil the frozen corn and then grill it if you want it grilled
I almost always par boil my corn before grilling. As long as the grill still has a good enough hot spot you can get that nice char on the corn quickly.
Freezing corn does not reduce sweetness lol
@@chechnya8491 not chemically, but removing moisture from the starches makes them less dicernable to your tastebuds, this is why dried corn in grain mash bills needs to be boiled, to rehydrate the starches and convert them to sugars. But thats just my experience growing up growing corn.
@@DeathMetalDerf yup, you want the kernels plump, and the outside will basically evaporate dry at room temp so in a grill it is nothing.
The best corn I’ve ever had was when I lived in Iowa. We’d buy corn that was shucked earlier that morning out of the back of a pickup truck. Incredibly sweet and savory, and blew anything that you could get from the grocery store out of the water.
