Worth noting that the reason the cheap instant coffee was perceived as more bitter and “punchy” is likely at least in part because it contained Robusta which is harsher and less common these days. Most speciality coffee these days tends to use just arabica.

I wouldn't call Robusta harsh, it's just an acquired taste. Most good Italian coffee uses robusta in various amounts. In fact you can't really make a good espresso with a pure arabica coffee.

My children and I used to play our made-up game of "What Is It?" Where we tried different foods with a scarf covering our eyes and tried to guess what it was. It was my way of getting them to experience different textures, flavors, food they may not normally try (we had specific rules in that if you picked it for someone to taste and guess, you had to also take a bite). When my daughter was 7yo, she did an experiment for her school's Science Fair involving blindfolded tasting vs sight tasting with a variety of soda/pop (Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Orange, Grape). Of course, almost all of the children correctly identifies the drinks when they weren't blindfolded. Although, nearly half mixed up Diet Coke and Coke. When blindfolded, it took between 0-2 sips before nearly every response was wrong, and the more rounds a child did the More likely they were to not be able to correct identify any drink. I think the results shocked all of us. Her entry won 1st place in her age group. As for the lamb/chicken, there would be a distinct texture to the sliced, processed gyro-styled lamb that would be very odd for BBQ'd chicken. Obviously, sight is a requirement for full(and correct?!) taste!

Speaking of coffee. You guys should do a coffe episode with James Hoffman. Let him show you different types of premium coffees.

It's because of you guys, I now have miso both red and white...the real thing ..in my fridge. I actually stopped this video and made Miso Butter Pasta because I couldn't stand watching the guys eating it, and I didn't have any. Thank you , Sorted for igniting such a love for international flavors me and showing me how easy it is...at times... to make these dishes right here in my home. My family now thinks I'm so worldly. 🤣🤣

Must say as someone who enjoys specialty coffee, the coffee segment got me thinking about what the different kinds of coffee would be like in some desserts like a specialty cold press vs an espresso vs instant.

love seeing how over the years the normals have gotten steadily better both in the kitchen and also at tasting and distinguishing different ingredients and their quality!

Tahini is such a mystery ingredient to me. I would love to see more content about how to use it in many different ways.

I’d love to see a version of this where the team made a simple dish fully out of basic ingredients and then a couple of versions where different basic ingredients have been swapped for premium ones (eg with the first recipe do one where the miso is swapped but then one where the pasta is swapped) and get the boys to rate which one they like the best so we can see what makes the biggest difference if you can only afford one premium ingredient

I've used miso all my life. I have some Japanese miso in my frig now. Fascinating to see miso being used in Western recipes. I have to try the noodle dish myself.

That was super interesting ... especially the knowledge that I do not need an espresso maker to make delicvious tiramisu! I was shocked that Barry actually drinks instant coffee ... I wonder what would happen if you blind taste tested coffees that were the same but over/under extracted. I remember doing t hat in a cooking class long ago and was so shocked at the differences.

The Clearspring Organic Miso is even better still; in a big pouch too. Not too much more than that tiny MiSo Tasty jar (depending on where you go ).

I like the fact that both premiums are equally obtainable, with the coffee being from two different supermarket's, but I do kinda miss the crazy premium thing that is many times the price and that you'd have to order online. There's a lot of really quite premium instant specialty coffees and would've loved to see the different that makes.

(18:00) A bit off-topic, but when I was staying in Rhode Island (NE part) in the US, I was told they had a 'state drink' of coffee milk.

This is not a challenge, nor video suggestion; however, I would highly recommend giving a sweet treat of coffee milk a go. Honestly, it's syrup and milk, so don't be lazy. lol
