S5 E4 – What would you consider as too far with fusion food?
Fusion food as a concept is an ever growing, constantly adapting food trend. Should there be boundaries? Or is the world your oyster when it comes to creativity? Let’s start with paella-burrito gate…
S5 E3 – Have our taste standards been ruined by mass produced food?
We’re surrounded by mass produced food and as a result, you begin to just accept the food you’re most exposed to. But what if we had more exposure to a varied diet from a young age? And what part does marketing have to play on exploiting these trends?
S5 E2 – How much is too much to pay for food?
Last Christmas, Team Sorted celebrated at a restaurant offering various small tasting plates. The food was finely crafted, but every person left astounded at the final bill. So where is the line on overpriced foods?
S5 E1 – Can dining alone be fun?
Solo dining is incredibly popular in Japan and Ben’s been lucky enough to head over and try it for himself. With dining alone becoming more socially acceptable, the guys discuss their experiences which eventually leads them to the question… to room service or not to room service? What are your guys thoughts?
S4 E10 – Is MSG not actually bad for you?
There’s a load of negative stigma attached to the consumption of MSG (Monosodium Glutomate) which is a naturally occurring flavour enhancer that’s usually used in take-away foods. But what if we were to tell you it’s not actually bad for you? In this episode the guys delve into the subject and see if they can taste the difference between a normal dish and one where MSG has been added.
S4 E9 – Is eating seasonally worth it?
It can be really difficult to keep on top of what’s in season and even more difficult when you realise it might actually be more economical to eat veggies from further away! Baz whips up some *ahem* delicious smoothies to taste this week and the boys discuss some of their fave London spots.
S4 E8 – Rotten sausages get rid of wrinkles?
Or maybe rotten tomatoes can be used as nail varnish remover… who knows? As well as separating the truth from the lies, Ben, Jamie and Mike chat about their favourite foods to cook at home vs. what’s the best cuisine to eat when you’re going out.
S4 E7 – Getting drunk from non alcoholic spirits?
Would you ever consider buying alcohol… without the alcohol? Apparently, non alcoholic spirits, beers and cocktails are looking to be the next big thing! In this episode the guys try some out and try to understand why it’s becoming so popular.
S4 E6 – Taste testing aphrodisiacs?!
Of course this podcast had to be valentine’s themed…kind of. This episodes explores weird and wonderful aphrodisiacs and as expected, things get a little bit (very) weird. P.S. this entire podcast theme was Jamie’s idea…can you tell?
S4 E5 – Would you eat insects if the world depended on it?!
The future of food is constantly changing and perceptions of food vary drastically from country to country. What may be considered as a delicacy in one country could be seen as revolting in another. An interesting topic that’s been cropping up recently is the use of insects as a more sustainable form of protein. What are your thoughts?
Truely enjoyed this podcast! And being from Southern Africa, I just loved the “boom shakalaka” reference at the begining! Thanks Guys, always enjoy your insets 😁
Fun fact – the carrot propaganda wasn’t just random misdirection, the main purpose was to throw the Germans off the fact that the British had developed radar.
Is there anyway to download these to a mobile device?
As you are working on your cookbook: bucket list, what are some bucket list FOOD experiences you would love to try. So not just a food, but experience that focuses around the food. For example, I would love to experience a proper Japanese tea.
It’s really a shame if Turing Hitler into a woman didnt work. That was so 2017 in 1942.
I would love to see Mike do a Polish or Gaelic translation recipe.
Loved this podcast! learnt some stuff, guessed the Hitler one too!
I have a format idea, it wouldn’t be one you’d do often, but what about a cook along? we only see the edited video normally, it would be fun to watch a format from start to finish and see bit’s we wouldn’t normally!
I also have a fact one of the guys could use: The ‘other white meat’ was almost hippo. Pork is now known advertised as ‘the other white meat’ but in the early 20th century, America faced food shortages and considered Hippo as they lived in the Louisiana bayou, re-branding was also considered naming then ‘lake cows’ but over time congress kept pushing it aside in favor for other topics and eventually ‘land cows’ were favored instead.
There’s more info but that’s the cliff notes
Lake cows?? Wow, I’ve definitely learned something new!
“Hey if we all change seats no one will notice that we are wearing the same clothes as last time” 😉
I love pass it on, being a cook when the three of you come up for a turn I’m either impressed with your thought process, or yelling at the screen wondering how you could possibly think that’s a good idea! 😂
The forth one in beer is grain (mostly malted barley), not sugar.
