"Forget everything you know about pasta"
Since they sampled it dry, I'd say they managed that part.
YUP 😂
I like eating dried pasta. Maybe not at £30 a box though
"They told me to forget everything I knew about Pasta, so I did. Then they tried to sell me on pasta but I didn't know what it was!"
@@AlexiconPrime It was a box of "sample" from a michelin star chef. Quite a bargain really.
Sperm goes for a lot more these days.
@@AlexiconPrime😂😂😂
The Atavi pasta is the epitome of pretentious, because the sole reason it exists is for you to be able to tell your dinner guests about it.
Eh. I kind of disagree. It feels like it’s one step shy of being a meal kit from that chef.
It wouldn’t be weird at all to go to a restaurant and have some kind of custom pasta. If they shipped that pasta with a sauce or a sauce recipe, it’s just a meal kit like everyone did during Covid.
@@mattsnyder4754 Isn't it just flavoured pasta?
@@mattsnyder4754 its probably still mass produced - you dont get that chef in your kitchen, you just get a good quality product
the recipe is good sure and its definitely worth extra over regular pasta (the added ingredients alone justify that)... but all the fanfare around it and the exorbitant price? pretentious like hell
im betting at least 70% of that pricetag is pure profit
mind you, if each portion is actually handmade, that absolutely justifies the price, because manual labour is and should be expensive... while running machines with a fancy recipe is not and pretending its more than that is well... pretentious
@@mattsnyder4754It's several steps shy of being a meal kit.
@@SharienGamingthere’s so many fine lines there… most dumplings and mochi is crimped by hand, and yet still so cheap…. There are so many products I’ve had my mind blown learning that it wasn’t mechanically processed in some way. Certain ingredients rarity increases price too, and some machines require more attention to run…
I really feel they did the pasta a disservice by putting such a rich sauce on it, they should at least have tried some naked, or at most maybe butter or olive oil…
All that said, it’s still fairly niche, and they have to market it knowing they won’t be getting the massive sales, so it’s probably more per pound than others so the company can stay afloat.
"Some of us already have the sparkle inside of us!" Hell yeah mate, hell yeah 🎉!
🙌
Favourite part of the video 🤣🤣
I freaking died laughing when Jamie said that.
I love that they all call Ebbers old, yet he is the youngest one out of all of them. 😂
sometimes, "old" is a state of mind
Is he?! Oh... umm.. oops?
He was born old...
A pasta needing to say it's made with a muchelin star chef that says forget everything you know about pasta.
Marketers: "no ego, no pomp"
My dude, it's all ego and pomp.
I struggle to think what Ben wouldn’t find pretentious at this point. He comes across as if he’s playing devils advocate all the time, trying to rationalise the expense so as to not put off people at home who might quite fancy this kind of thing. Appreciated Jamie being very clear throughout this one that this stuff is pretentious af
Michelin chef: _forget everything you know about pasta. Unlock the coji. Release the macadamia._
Ben: is it made of branflakes?
It IS dried pasta. I'm sure it releases a lot of aromas and subtle flavors, but it's absolutely a bridge too far for me to spring for lol.
😅
Pretentious Ingredients doesn’t feel complete without the prince of pretentiousness in it. 😜
It just feels wrong 😂
Fair, he does add a certain 'flair' to the series 😆
@@SortedFoodhe really does!
Barry was probably busy filming that JOLLY video about eels from last week
That electric fire dust would be in his pocket so fast 😂
When a company comes out with an extremely "aged" version of something that typically isn't sold for its age, I can't help but think someone found some boxes in the back of a warehouse and wanted to offload it.
"Just throw some super hot peppers in it to mask the off flavors and sell it as a special edition"
😂
I saw that 4 year aged basmati rice was about 1½ times the price of the ordinary basmati in the supermarket. The ordinary basmati had a best before of one year.
Well, that would make sense. After all, when you see marinated meat at your grocery store, it's generally the meat that is about to go off. So they marinade it to mask the smell, and then charge you extra per lb.
Normal Tabasco IS an aged product, though. The regular version is fermented for 3 years in oak barrels before bottling.
Agree. £230 is a total scam. For the elite only😅😅😅
Jamie - correctly guesses the first ingredient as soon as he lifts the cloche
Also Jamie - huffs when Ben correctly guesses the third ingredient under the cloche
Haha, standard 😆
I mean in all fairness, Mike did spend £120 on water once, so the Tabasco is definitely worth it in comparison. I’d gladly have all of those delicious pretentious presents.
Very true. We still haven't gotten over that water. CRAZY.
Ooooh, I would love an episode where everyone (Ebbers, Kush, the normals) all bring their very most favorite "pretentious" ingredient in to share with the rest of the group... Each person prepares a dish with the item in it that they really love.... Might be more than one show.... But wouldn't this be fun? Who has the most pretentious "pretentious item"? I'm betting on Mr. Cloud Egg, myself.... Love ya Barry!
For April 1st, the team should spin around the meaning of "Pretentious or not?" and put in a few non pretentious ingredients into the mix xD
Like giving them run of the mill pasta and telling them a story about how special it is 😂
"I can't get my head 'round buying a food or drink item and not being interested in the food or drink inside the item."
This is SUCH a mood.
Me "Why no Barry?"
Sorted Foods: Cocktails and Hot Sauce.
Me: Ah, hello Jamie and Ben.
"I know you said this isn't something you would just want to spread on some toast... so we got you some toast"
**Jamie's face when bursts out laughing**
Honestly Jamie has such a gleeful attitude I love seeing this sort of attitude in adults because it shows he is a cheerful guy!!
The second he said it and it cut back to Mike I was like, "You put it on toast didn't you?"😂
absolutely, especially as he pairs beautifully with a mature Ebbers, or a manic Mike, an intense Kush, a dour James, a pretentious Barry....the combos are endless. More of these types of contents please!
"It belongs in a world I wish I could afford to live in."
Mate, that's a perfect way to describe "pretentious."
Pistachio cream as a doughnut filling is, seriously divine ( a light touch is needed).
I didn't even know jarred pistachio cream existed 😮 it sounds incredible as a donut filling
🤤
@@itsjustme1139 it's been very popular the last few years and is now available at regular grocery stores. I can get a 600g jar at costco for 15 bucks. Used to have to buy similar sized jars from my italian goods supplier for 40
Or pancakes.
That "shmear" they made is great for pancakes too.
@@itsjustme1139 a local Japanese bakery here blended it with a touch of matcha powder and used it in malasada donuts, most sprinkled with sugar, some covered in nuts-almond slivers iirc. Would’ve been overkill, I think, to do bits of pistachios (would’ve covered the divine filling and made the texture distracting for me personally), but they are HEAVEN. The ube cream and passion fruit ones are also amazing-the texture is almost exactly like beignets with that divine fluff that makes you want to stuff yourself full of them then collapse on a bed of (unsugared) ones to nap. 🤤😋☁😴
"I know what it is! I know what it is! I know what it is!" This excitement is why I love Jaime
Love the 7 year old inner child dancing in his desk waving 👋 waiting to be called on so 😂❤pure joy of knowledge ❤
Jamie is honestly my favorite sorted member.
@@borttorbbq2556 he is becoming mine also "pure joy", I also have a sweet spot for each ❤! I can't pick jus one favorite I jus can't I won't 🫣
With the first pasta, I kind of wish it had been cooked and dressed in a good quality olive oil so the guys are purely tasting the pasta with olive oil and nothing else too get a true reflection if its any good or not
This is why they first tried it raw.
Would there be much point when 99% if the time the pasta would be eaten with an accompanying sauce or something similar.
Given that Barry loves hot sauce on his eggs and him being the King of Pretentiousness... I bet that Tabasco is going to disappear quickly. 😆
Jamie was knocking it out of the park this episode, he had me cracking all the way up. The bedroom eyes and the sparkling tongue...priceless
Loving these monday releases. It's always the shittiest day of the week and these vids brighten my day
Aaaaaah, so glad the Monday vids brighten your day 🙌
I miss the links to get it!
@@SortedFood It does make Friday afternoons something of a letdown though. It used to be my gateway to the weekend. But don't listen to naysayers like me as "You can never win".
Love Jamie’s reaction to Ben’s miss at trying to catch the gadget. And Ben acts as if nothing happened!🤣🤣
cant believe they didnt try the pasta by itself
Exactly!!!
And didn’t make normal pasta to compare the taste
They did. As pure as possible. No water, salt or heat, just raw uncooked pasta.
oh christ, it's just a fun little video, not a case study for an article @@dorad411
Læsø Salt is expensive salt from a small Danish island, made with original seawater drying techniques. or something along those lines.
Fits this series pretty well I think.
I love how Jamie's face gets red from spice and then he realizes that it's spicy!
17:15 Ben really showing his "I have London flat money now" side xD
My jaw dropped at hearing the price of the first item. That’s outrageous. 😳
Who wouldn't love a box of pasta for £30
@@xriffkaxit makes justifying the pasta attachment for my Kitchen Aid stand mixer really easy. 😂
When you compare it to a £30 box of pasta..... definitely! @@Anna-uh3jq
@@SortedFoodI know right?!? Makes the pasta attachment at €100+ sound like a bargain. 😂
So agree with Jamie. Pretentious is when you're spending money on foodstuff that's too expensive to consume.
That's all relative though ultimately. I don't know if that's the right metric. I think some consideration for the value of the experience is justified. I don't think that the experience of having wildly overpriced hot sauce dribbled on your food is anywhere near as significant as having a high priced but very high quality glass of wine, or steak, or whiskey some other more substantial main attraction food stuff. I can see why A1 Wagyu short rib might not be pretentious at its price point but why a $200-800 tiny bottle of Tobasco is pretentious. You're not getting any amazing food experience for the money you're spending on the latter, but you may be on the former.
@@brendant19right. Pretentiousness is not about price. It's about making something seem better than it is because of some characteristics that don't necessarily warrant its praise.
@@brendant19 It's a $35 bottle of tabasco. The fact that they're 6 years late to the party doesn't make it pretentious. At least with Tabasco, they're probably getting something very close to the original food experience-a lot of other limited edition foods would've probably degraded over 6 years.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfrommeit is definitely about price. Pretentiousness speaks to snobbery and so in a broader sense, class. Inflated prices, gimmicks and ridiculous PR is what makes most things pretentious.
Or you cannot afford. Choosing not to meet your monthly expenses (utilities, mortgage, rent, etc) purely for clout. Thinking that buy consuming a product brings you closer to the elite. We are all gulity of it including me😅😅
Ben saying ‘drop it like it’s hot’ is definitely what I needed to hear today. Oh my Days🤣🤣🤣
what does the pasta taste like without the sauce though?
I kept thinking a swirl of pistachio cream through home made soft serve vanilla icecream. The rest I have no use for. But thanks for sharing them with us all
100% pistachio butter mixed with whatever sweetener you like - maple syrup would go nicely. That D&G one contains copper colouring to fake the pistachio content.
Pistachio creams can be very expensive so in my house we used a very high pistachio content pesto that’s about £8 cheaper a jar but still has something like 95% pistachio content. The extra salt and umami you get from the extra ingredients honestly make it great for ice cream. I would say, though, that it is better mixed through to just make a pistachio ice cream than it is if you fold it in like a ripple, as it can be quite gummy/tacky and sugary in the mouth when it’s very cold. Pistachio ice cream made with this stuff is just the best in the world.
Whenever Barry isnt in a Pretentious video I always feel like we're missing out on bants
Oooh. pistachio paste mixed with mascarpone, as a filling for ravioli made from chocolate pasta. Yummmmm!
"Some of us already have the sparkle inside of us!"
Yes, Jamie! Don't let anyone make you hide the sparkle!
The sparkle talk is just to good. Sparkling 💩, not liking the way it sparkles and having the sparkle already within. 😂
If I am paying £1,330 per kilo for something, I don't expect it to have mica flakes and 6 different synthetic colours.
@@pattheplanter obviously there's no mica. Duh. And not liking "artificial" colors is just plain uneducated appeal to nature. Just because it's artificial doesn't mean it's bad.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Mica is listed on the ingredients. Double duh back at you, you lazy person. What kind of person would put mica in food, you think? Putting synthetic pigments in food is bad, it is an admission that the real food ingredients are not of sufficient quality to give their own colours.
Feels like we need another challenge series. Something like box dinners/meals made gourmet would be interesting.
"...now You're sounding pretentious...."
Loved that one Jamie :D
Buy a pistachio white chocolate spread from Wedel (Polish chocolatiers). Fraction of a price still outrageously amazing
Or 100% pistachio butter and add anything you want.
I love pistachio, that paste is so smooth and shiny, it must be amazing. To put into a macaron? Yum
Oooh, or through an ice cream
You can get it online at half the price .
It’s fancy Nutella
£30 for pasta! 😂😂
Yep, that’s pretentious 😂😂
Surely you would be better off buying cheaper pasta, and spending the extra money on better ingredients to go with the pasta?
If you prefer the sauce to the actual pasta, then definitely!
I think Ebbers missed the point of what pretentious means. He said he didn’t think the Tabasco was pretentious, he just wished he could afford to indulge in it. But that is exactly what makes it pretentious, it’s the “ha,ha, you commoners can’t afford this and I can” vibe.
Exactly my thoughts. For dry pasta to be $10 a portion it needs to be transcendental, not merely just very good. It also had by far the highest display box cost to ingredient cost.
I almost feel like we need multiple categories on these
1) is the branding over the top?
2) does the product do what it says it does?
3) is the product done in such a way that it justifies the premium?
Cause I feel like 2) is done quite often for these products, its 1) and 3) that muddles it xD
Also, anything that is being bought as an investment (like that tabasco) should be automatically disqualified and put in the "definitely pretentious" category.
I use pistachio paste in my homemade gelato and it’s unbelievable. I love love love this stuff and it’s worth every penny.
You wouldn’t think there would be that many pretentious ingredients to be on series 2 episode 7, but I bet there are so many more out there still!
Ebbers had me in tears of laughter for item number two !
These are incredible... I love this series
I bought some ‘Maison Bremond Sicilian Pistachios Supreme Spread’ when last on holiday. Was definitely on the pretentious end of the scale but was so incredible that I don’t even care! 10/10 would recommend!
One of My favorite series guys! Thanks! You always make me smile😊😊😊😊😊
The alternative version to this would be interesting to see the best cheapest ingredient. Is there pretentious liquorice? I found a lot of unusual cheeses but not sure whether they would be pretentious. Pretentious breakfast cereal?
Thank you always entertaining. Would love to see a series again with really cheap basic budgets.
Lol the last choice of dishes for the Tabasco is hilarious....adult vs child lol
If Atavi Pasta had an ‘Unctuous’ variant, SortedFood would buy up the whole stock.
I always look forward to your uploads. Love, love, love your channel! ❤❤
YAY! It's a new episode of what's in Barry's kitchen!!! 😂😂
Really excellent presentation, gentlemen. Thank you.
Interesting group of products, thanks guys!
I got some pistachio cream in my pantry. It’s great for making pistachio pastry cream. You can put it in cannolis, éclairs or choux. You can even make pistachio tiramisu.
YAY! More looking through bazz pantry am i right?😂😂😂😂😂
That's why he wasn't in the episode...he owned them all.
Discussing pretentious ingredients while you are inhaling oysters and caviar is itself so pretentious! Priceless…..
That pasta at the beginning sounds wonderful.
We need an episode to compare portentous ingredients with their non-premium versions. There's obviously cheaper Pistachio Cream, but how do they compare?
One of the gems in the series!
Greetings from Estonia! Love this Channel!! Would Love a new spicy food Challenge :D
I love these
Ooooh the highlight to my morning seeing a new sorted video
Whoop, whoop 🙌
6:59 haha i know what else comes in packs like that... hence the reaction!
I have a chocolate allergy and have never been able to experience Nutella. I bought a pistachio cream online because of this video. The first thing that I made was pistachio Greek yogurt. It was so good! It made the yogurt denser and silkier. I topped it with some crushed and whole pistachio.
I do really like this series
Oooh, it's my birthday today, and your video is a definite birthday treat!!! Thank you Sorted 🎉🎂🎁
Happy Birthday!
I love this series! The pretentious ones are good for a laugh, and I've bought some of the ones that aren't as gifts 👍
I think we need a video using random pretentious ingredients and random tins together lets get crazy 😂
Sprinkling tingly glitter on tinned lambs head... hell, yeah! ✨💩
Love this channel
Wow that Pistachio Cream is double the price of what it is in the US. I just went on Amazon and found several examples, including ones from Sicily for about $12-$14 for the same size jar.
That tobasco seasoning on oyster...I'm drooling...mmmm
I'm sold on it..
Ben: You wouldn't just put this on toast.
Me, who does exactly that: ....
Croissants filled with pistachio creme is the thing i miss the most from Italy. It is a divine taste.
Would love to try the pistachio cream... looks so luscious. Thanks for a Monday episode, guys!
Get a non-D&G version for under £10.
Try finding 100% pistachio butter and mix it with icing sugar, much cheaper and better. That cream contains copper colouring to make it look like there is more pistachio in it.
The elektric dust is the first thing from the pretentious series I really would want to buy! I'm so curious about the taste! ( if I can find the buds I would do those too, I think. ) the win at the end, no way... I'm with Jamie, if you buy food or drink you have to buy it to consume, not as investment
I had a bit less pretentiuos pistachio cream for cheescake recipy. It's really good.
Love these video's, let's see more.
@ sortedfood you should go on the look out for what does Barry have pretentious episode 😂 most random for our very own king of pretentious 😅
I love how Ben tastes the really hot sauce and does his best to hide its effects. He does a pretty good job but I think it calls for more challenges.
Just finished a nice steak dinner that I had cooked for my fiancée. All went well. Sat down together to watch some Sorted Food while enjoying some apple crumble dessert. Half way through she has decided she wants to go to Kush's for dinner next time and then Kush made his "steak is a cop out" comment. Thanks bro.
I would LOVE a segment on caviars. There are so many and some are affordable, but can potentially elevate a dish. Please? Thank you!
You absolutely could have made macaron shells for that paste! They’re sooo easy to make!!
Their cheeks started flushing as soon as they tried the Tabasco 😂
I always have pistachio cream in my cupboard - it has sooooo many uses!! ❤ (pistachio lattes are one of my favs)
Yeaaaaah buddy! Love getting these notifications!!!
Bottarga would be a good one to see. Italian fish roe. Amazing stuff
That Keith Haring jumper/sweater is great!
I bought pistachio butter years ago in Sicily and I could not stop eating it, it’s so delicious 😊😊
I got that Tabasco when it came out. It was very nice. Tabasco Family Reserve is similar and is my favorite hot sauce.
That McIlhenny Tabasco sauce is cool. I never knew that had done that, and I am in houston.🤗🤗🤗
They should try all the truf stuff like the mayo and the pasta sauce.
You can find the pistachio cream in croissants (cornetti) in Italy. It's so delicious but so sweet
This is Mike's best role...aside from tasting cheese
Quote of the day! 0:10 will they leave overjoyed or annoyed?
I always leave overjoyed after your videos guys!
Love to hear it Daniel! 😁
@@SortedFoodAlways ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tbh when I see sparkles I think of microplastics. I see where Ben is coming from idk if I need that in me either
My family bought a bunch of that pistachio cream when we were in Italy and I frequently dip biscoff cookies into it. The truth is, it's just amazing on everything.
Not an ingredient but would be fun to see them try Last Crumb cookies
