After seeing the Pea one, I want to see the team either make or try an entire Sunday roast dinner in ice cream form - that is: a Sunday Sundae.
Haha, love this idea.
@@SortedFoodyep
@@SortedFood I want a full english breakfast made entirely out of ice cream :D
Reminds me of something I saw years ago which was steak, chips and peas visually but was actually chocolate mousse, mint and vanilla ice cream. Just this time with the flavours of what it looks like :)
That is AMAZEBALLS! I fully, and wholeheartedly concur!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🔥
15:44 Mike enthusiastically staring at Ben with a blindfold on is hilarious.
Mike absolutely killed this one. You should do badges for this because he would absolutely smoke the competition.
Ben called pea before the pea icecream and got the sweet chili icecream 🍦
I think a retrospective badging for that performance is reasonable.
only because he knows the shop and probably guessed what the team chose@@miseriacanterai
@@Meve76 oooo conspiracy theory i like ;)
Haven't they stopped doing the badges now. Pretty certain the grocery shop battle was the last chance to get badges.
16:32 Shoutout to Mike for correctly identifying the flavours especially the last one.
The man did good 🔥
Makes me realize how impressive Mike's Poker face performances have been. His palette is so fine that I'm shocked his body didn't just shut down the moment he tasted surströmming.
Mike KILLED it today! Is there a palate badge up for grabs he can get? 😂
The tappy hands trying to find the bowls, and the reactions, so much happiness. Always so much fun watching you guys explore interesting food
So glad you enjoyed today's episode, thanks so much for watching :)
@@SortedFood hehe ^_^ Thank you for all the hard work that goes into making it!
Their exploring hands meet, Mike leans over and deeply kissed Ebers, "Tastes of inevitability" he says and they both both melt into each other much like the Heine's baked beans ice-cream in front of them.
Gmm fans: new to this?
@@ericconrad8854oh my god
The way they simultaneously flipped out on "SIX?!" 😂
I will say one thing for definite for this video. Mike has one hell of a palate especially with the last one. Being blindfolded and getting Cheese and Pickle is quite a marvel to be seen. From knowledge having a great palate is a key thing for a chef to have.
He got the most right in the flavour identification task for the chef challenge too!
Love how Mike "the normal" is like bread! All I taste is bread ! And he's correct while ben the chef drones on about the allotment in May and gets it wrong 😅
"From knowledge having a great palate is a key thing for a chef to have."
...Yeah no shit. That's not "from knowledge". It's the most basic fucking obvious thing.
And it was hardly a marvel. He tasted pickle and cheese in something made of pickle and cheese.
@grabble7605 when food is frozen, it's much more difficult for us to taste. Furthermore, when we add cream, the flavor is drowned out that much more. If you've ever watched gourmet ice cream making, they have to make their ice cream base flavor 10x more intense bc of what freezing and dairy do to muddle the flavors.
Mike is definitely a super taster. He can taste more flavours than the average person. This explains his aversion to strong cheeses, red wine and such. I'm sure it's both a gift and a curse!
I was waiting for the food team to sneakily take the ice cream bowl away and just have Ben and Mike frantically slapping around the table trying to find something that's not there.
Maybe they did and it will be in an outtake video
GUYS! Please make the normals have a battle with the weirdest of these ice creams! Them having to create a dessert from this!
based off of your suggestions- rolled ice cream way, they have to make the weirdest ice cream flavor that still tastes good, AND THEN part 2 of the challenge is to create a dessert out of the ice cream that was made. The catch: the normals don't know there was a part 2 of the challenge.
As a child i used to eat frozen peas as a sweet frozen treat during hot Australian summers - i can totally see a reason for the pea sorbet!
Frozen peas straight from the bag were a definite snack as a kid in summer (American). I still eat a few frozen peas each time I make anything with them!
My daughter had a bowl of frozen peas with her dinner last night and it wasn’t even hot in Toowoomba 🤣
I still do. don’t like frozen peas when cooked, I only buy frozen ones to eat frozen. Green grapes are also tastier when frozen
@@DjinninOz "Don't like frozen peas when cooked."
There is no way for you to know that.
@@grabble7605? How? If they've bought frozen peas, cooked them, and disliked them, I think they can know they don't like cooked frozen peas
I love Mike's reaction every time he tries these things its just genuine surprise and curiousity like a child that makes me giggle 😂😂 12:43
I also appreciated how pumped he got when finding out he was spot on with his guesses (@13:47 and 16:16). That's similar to how I react to their "Guess the Country of Origin" videos on the rare occasion that I guess one correctly. 😅
Loved the Mike/Ben pairing for this. Mike really is on his game when it comes to tastings - I like that he happy & excited in this type of format and not stressed out as in the cooking segments.
I agree! I think Ben and Mike were perfect for this. So enthusiastic about it but also really serious about figuring it out. I also died when they brought out the pea ice cream immediately after Ben had guessed pea 😂
Seeing Ben and Mike interact in this video reminds me how much I love the friendship between the guys from Sorted. ❤
I love how confused they are when they start out - the tapping to find the ice cream, asking if they're working together or competing, the excitement on their face when they realize they're gonna get to taste 6 ice creams - adorable.
Ben and Mike really went on a journey here didn't they - Mike looking traumatized when Ben brought up the duck choc ice cream; Mike getting excited while talking about crumpets; Ben's disappointment with the pea ice cream; Mike laughing at the thought of some one bringing an ice cream scoop back to the office; Ben constantly being so methodical every time he's tapping to look for the bowl; Mike being excited when he realized what the flavour was; Mike being ecstatic about his guess being right; talk about an emotional roller-coaster.
This looks like one of those videos where everyone bts would've been cracking up cuz the guys are blindfolded and have no idea what's coming next!
I am from Munich. In Munich, Germany is a special parlour with uniquely weird flavours. It's called "the crazy ice-maker" (Der verrückte Eismacher). If you are interested in exploring more really special and weird flavour combinations I would really recommend that :)
That's super interesting! What's been your favourite flavour that they've sold so far?
I have only tried a few. :) But I would say the weirdest one would be beer-flavour :D I don't even know most of the flavours because they change it regularly and there are just too many :D
It's really close to the university and I liked to have ice cream for lunch sometimes - like pumpkin or peppers with lemon or gorgonzola cheese. But their "normal" flavors like Kinder surprise egg, strawberry-basil, Apfelstrudel, Lindt Lindor,... are great too.
I tried "Fischstäbchen" so basically fish fingers there once... Can't say it was my favourite. But I loved the Rum and Coke ice cream ❤
Is there a garlic ice cream? I'd love to try that...
Mike’s utter delight at getting the last one was adorable! 😊 His palate was on point.
Mike officially has the palette of a Chef, now to catch up with the kitchen skills a bit and Sorted has itself a homemade Chef.
No such thing.
@@grabble7605most chefs are homemade.
Bless Mike, he was SO good at guessing and then goes “WE’re so good at this!” No, Mike, YOU’re so good at this 💛💛💛
Old Bay Caramel - Old Bay is a spice made in MD in the US and is often used for steamed crabs and other seafood. Adding it to deep rich caramel really makes the flavors stand out!
“I know what this is, no I don’t, yes I do.”
Ben truly went on a bit of journey there. 😂
More of this format and Mike needs to be in every single one of them! Mike says 10 words for every 1 word from Ben when they are blindfolded and taste testing 😂
Now for the follow-up video of getting the chefs to make dishes that compliment well with the ice cream! I'd love to see how creatively culinary they can get with such unique ice creams :)
I bought a new ice-cream machine at the beginning of the year & have been experimenting. My biggest success was turning Ottolenghi's beetroot za'atar with goats-cheese & hazelnuts dip into an ice-cream. It's great with a salad & pea-shoots on a hot summers day. You should try carrot & caraway seed too. Cooling, earth & sweet. Pea ice-cream is also nice with a salad. Brown-bread ice-cream has long been a favourite of mine, especially with a tart raspberry or gooseberry coulis drizzled on top. First time I had it was on a glorious hot day as a now defunct herb farm in the Carse of Gowrie. Going back in time there is a famous ice-cream shop in St. Andrews. I was there with my grandfather as a wee bairn, he said I could have a double scoop! I chose the liquorice for one side & an Italian tangerine sorbet for the other. The colours were fantastic in the bright sunlight & the combination of flavours was utterly fantastic. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Well for god sake make a career out of it - these chancers charge £15 for a tub, £3.50 for a scoop, so you're quids in!
@@maylloyd3348 HOW MUCH! Haha, I'd be run out of the village by folks with pitchforks & burning torches if I ever tried that.
The shop is now closed. This was a summer project for the shop. Just a heads up if anyone wanted to go buy/try some
Honestly I do watch your videos foremost for the amazing conversions around where the food world is going and how to make our own cooking worlds more interesting, but damn all you boys are looking fiiiiine these days.
I would love for someone to produce a blue cheese ice cream! You could serve it with a pear/apple tart or poached pears. Cheese and pickle ice cream sounds AMAZING!!
I made mustard ice cream once to serve with beef carpaccio. Great idea and my guests loved it
You should have corn icecream - it's a staple in local places in PR and it's delicious. Or an ice cream version of Mori Soñando (popular dominican drink that makes for an every more delicious icecream - kind of like dulce de leche with orange).
This was such fun! It brings me extra joy when Mike just slays it. His delight is palpable.
I love how excited Mike got about the Sweet Chili ice cream.
This reminds me of when Jelly Belly came out. Their ability to recreate flavors in a jelly bean was epic. Same here.
Was it just me or did the popcorn 🍿 jellybeans taste of vomit?
Wasn't just you. I really dislike the popcorn ones.
Mike got most of these exactly correct! Give him a Flavor Taste badge!
Guess what, Birds Eye was formed in Chicago, IL in 1922 and is an American company (not British). It was originally a seafood company.
This reminds me of some of the unusual flavors the folks at Lofty Pursuits come up with for the hard candies they make on vintage candy-making machines. Examples include dill pickle, roast turkey, stuffing, sweet potato, and many more. They have a lot of videos on CZcams for anyone who wants to check them out.
I love sweet Chilli sauce and cream cheese. The Sweet Chilli icecream might be nice with a cone made from salted corn chips or just use corn chips as an eatable spoon.
The proud face on Mike is adorable.
Seeing Mike’s face after he correctly guessed the last one made my day! He was so over the moon about it! Such a great job this round! ❤
I have been having fun trying the VanLeeuwen ice cream here in the US. The most recent flavor i have had was Malted milkshake with french fries. Other past flavors i have had was Pizza, hot honey, mac and cheese, and many more.
We have in Kraków an icecream brand called GoodLood. They did for Easter 2 classic flavours: Majonez Kielecki (brand of very popular in Poland mayo) and fresh dill flavour. Both ingredients are necessary in your kitchen during Easter in Poland. The icecream versions were definietly on the novelty side, but I must admit I went to have both. Dill was good but the mayo was just plain weird :D Awesome to see you guys testing the big brand flavours! 🙂
The first one reminds me of soy sauce caramel I used to make. I always considered it a big upgrade from salted caramel. I always wanted to see if I could crystallize it to be able to use it for creme brulee topping!
Haha I absolutely love how proud Mike was with his spot on taste buds! I really enjoy when you guys team up and try to solve/create together.
Idk about the UK, but here in the USA its pretty common practice to dip your fries (chips) in a milkshake (usually vanilla). Gives a wonderful sweet to the salty, the cold and hot and crunchy and smooth playing nicely. I imagine that ketchup ice cream would do very well with that!
Some people do do that but only with the American fast food style of fry (we call the little thin ones fries and to us fries are that one specific kind of chip and chips is the word for the category of food, same with biscuits and cookies) not a British chip which are thicker and more similar to what you might call a steak fry. And I do agree it's really nice when it's good fries and a nice vanilla milkshake but I'm still dubious about the ketchup ice cream.
Seeing Mike so happy about that last one made my whole day ❤
Living next door to Ruby Violet, I tried many weird and wonderful flavours: banana & liquorice, basil & lemon, beetroot & horseradish, cornflakes & milk, stilton & cranberry, spiced pumpkin, Bloody Mary, Bramley apple & fennel, mint & cucumber - my personal favourite, black sesame...
Such a shame they closed the original shop but the King's Cross one is well worth a visit (or many).
This was soo fun! Thank you. I really think Ben's got the blindfold thing down with the tapping to not put your hand in the dish. Am also super impressed with Mikes palate. Great video everyone.
I would like to see these served as Sundays with mixed flavors and toppings as a challenge.
Great idea!
I really love the reactions! Great video guys, keep up the good work!
Thanks Brendan, and thanks for watching too!
@@SortedFoodYou guys are the Best 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Super enjoyed todays video! Something so wholesome about it! Thanks guys
I don't think we praise Mike's palate enough. Spot on every time.
I was visiting Salmiakki Festival in Helsinki and a Finnish company Valio had taste tasting for blue cheese ice cream and blue cheese with licorice ice cream. Both of them absolutely vile creations. And I really like blue cheese and licorice normally!
No way 😂
I imagine that Clarence Birdseye (the 'forefather' of frozen supermarket foods) would be very proud of Anya Hindmarch's Petit Pois ice cream... 😄
What a fun episode this was! Thanks Sorted Food team!
Probably wouldn't love them calling his brand British though 😂
@@driverjayne Ben's comment did make me giggle - and admittedly sent me down the ol' rabbit hole to research where Birdseye originated.🤭 It reminded me of a Brit comedy TV show called 'Birds of a Feather'. In one episode the ladies go on holiday to California and spot a McDonalds, claiming they found British food out there. 😆
I love Ben’s knowledge about currently historical recipes they did.Such a good memory☺️
I love seeing Mike so excited and proud! ❤😊
Parmesan Ice Cream and Artichoke Ice cream, tried them in northern Norway served together with savory meat dishes (2 different dishes), divine!!
LOVED THIS EPISODE!!! You should try many more!!😃
For videos like this, I think it would be cool for us non-UK people if you showed the product itself next to it. As a Canadian, I have no idea what a Branston pickle looks like and have no reference unfortunately.
Just google branston pickle
As a big fan of odd ice creams, this makes me so damn happy! Always interesting seeing people breaking the cream boundaries
More importantly, Mike beat the chef on guessing flavours!! Well done fella.
Lol at Ben clearly researching the flavours before the shoot and putting pea in the wrong round. Reminds me of when my brother watched Univeristy Challenge and then rewatched it back with the family and said something ridiculous for an unrealated question only for it to be the right answer to the folllowing question 😆😆😆😆😆
the others are constantly making fun of the things Ben says that I think are no big deal, and then he comes up with "holey and waiting for god's spread" and they don't react to this at all??? It sent me REELING.
Loved seeing the joy when nostalgia hit and you were correct. Such a fun video!❤
You know...as much as I love when the guys compete against each other in taste testing, this cooperative approach was so wholesome to see!
I have made tomato ice cream. I served it as a starter on lettuce with cocktail-spiced prawns. Delish.
Nice!
@@SortedFood🎉🎉🎉🎉
I once had a duo of black and white sesame ice cream at a sushi restaurant, I'd deffo recommend them.
Love everything you guys do!
Mike was a-ma-zing in this !!! So fun to watch !
Thanks to Sorted I've started using Maldon salt.. and I would totally try the ice cream 👀
the baked beans one is quite funny for us brazilians, since it's a common practice in here to reutilize ice cream tubs for storing cooked beans.
In SA ice cream containers are repurposed for storage containers as well 🤣
Love this format! I always learn new things wih you huys and have a laugh😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Mike's approach: 'I can't stop screaming because I can't see.' is absolutely superb
Good job Mike!
Thank you!
I had red bean ice cream in an izakaya and it was soooo good
Sounds fantastic!
@@SortedFoodyep
The sparkle in Mike’s eyes when he nailed the pickle and cheese 😂 I’ve never seen him so happy 😂
Mikes palette has improved greatly over the past decade! Well done!
I’ve had some pretty whacky flavours of ice creams, but I’ve been to this store and the flavours are mind blowing weird. Excited to see which ones you’ve chosen 🍦
Which ones did you try Alex?
@@SortedFoodyou're awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
@@SortedFoodI was stuck to the sorbet so the petit pois and ribena ones. Loved both. But not together 😂
We bet Ribena was good! @@alexdavis5766
@@SortedFoodhere in Colombia we have cheese on ice cream and cheese ice cream!
Quote of the Day: “It tastes Brown.”
We swear colour has a taste sometimes 😂
Mike was on point in this video! Definitely need more of these please and thank you 💖
It was incredible seeing Mike's palette at work! What a champ he is! Great job.
Those are really some weird flavors, I may personally give the soy sauce one a try out of curiosity. But that crumpet one looks delicious tbh and would 100% eat that
The crumpet one was super delicious!
@@SortedFoodYessir! Love crumpets
I've had a rice pudding ice cream that I've been looking for ever since. It's not even that out there, but still hard to find.
When i started watching you guys years ago in my college dorm, never would i ever have thought "Mike would absolutely crush it in culinary school" would be a valid thought. 😂 He really has come so far.
Can we take a moment to applaud the graphic designer of the ice cream carton. They aligned the name in such a way that it conform to the Natural Bend of the lid at an angle but instead looks perfectly leveled like you're staring at a piece of paper on the desk
I scream, you scream, we all scream ice cream! So happy to see the Ice-Cream based Discourse.
Happy Wednesday to SortedFood HQ and the community!
4:22 Oh goodness, the boys' glee at finding out there's five more flavors to test is so adorable. You can practically see Ebbers' eyes light up! ❤
As always, love the videos guys.
I would just like to say, I miss the bloopers at the end of the videos. Those never failed to make me laugh. 😂
Mike is so proud of himself, and honestly he should be! He did so good!
7:14 Ben pulled a wicked crumpet pun here whether he realizes it or not
I love how excited Mike was during this one.
This one was good fun, loved it!
Of all the challenges to knock out of the park, I can't believe the boys did so well on this one bang on mate.
I love how excited Mike is doing this. Let’s see some more!
I really enjoyed this especially since I love flavouring up boring morning oatmeal - sweet chilli and miso particular faves. By the way, here in Canada a best seller is ketchup flavoured potato chips (crisps)
How cute is Mike "We so nailed this!", its nice he shares the success even though he was predominately figuring it out. :)
loved how you guys were fumbling to find the ice creams
I think Mike should earn a supertaster badge for this.
These ice cream flavors are so odd, but I enjoyed every minute of this video. I loved watching your faces as you tried to figure out what you were tasting, then the light comes on and you know that you know what it is. I could have watched another hour of this.
We’ve found Mike’s secret skill. Identifying obscure ice cream flavours.
I need a series of this! Just guessing weird ice cream
