hello and welcome to sorted food today
[12]
we're going to put two of our normal
[13]
home Cooks up against it in a pick the
[15]
premium challenge in each round we're
[18]
going to take a basic ingredient and
[19]
create a dish with that as the focus but
[21]
one of the plates uses a premium version
[24]
of that I.E more expensive and one uses
[26]
a more basic version of the ingredient
[28]
will our normals with a blindfold be
[30]
able to pick the premium oh I'm gonna
[33]
pick it all right bring it
[36]
[Music]
[39]
ingredient number one
[41]
a taste a Sniff and give us some
[44]
thoughts straight away I'm going with
[46]
the nose always you could get closer
[50]
closer no it's on my chin
[52]
oh no I've been down stick your finger
[55]
in it no I
[57]
oh okay lemonade lemonade
[66]
um
[70]
actually I'm a meringue pie the same
[72]
weight measurements times cooking
[74]
methods identical with exception of one
[78]
ingredient
[79]
yeah I think the difference is in the
[80]
lemon it is two lemon meringue pies and
[83]
it is the Lemon that we want you to pick
[85]
the premium on based on being able to
[87]
get maximum flavor B is the premium
[91]
much more intense lemon from B than a B
[95]
is the premium locked in and ready to go
[98]
you can now remove your blindfold and
[99]
look I'm confident as well really
[101]
confident to see if it makes any
[103]
difference visually there's not a huge
[104]
amount of difference because obviously
[105]
wow
[108]
very fast time you pick B would you
[110]
change your mind no I think the color is
[113]
more vibrant on B interesting well I can
[116]
reveal to you that the premium lemon
[120]
is in fact a that's surprising as you
[125]
could tell I was confident in my choice
[127]
so yeah a is natura's Italian organic
[131]
unwaxed new season lemons so from a
[135]
particular region and style of lemon in
[138]
Italy it says their juice is less acidic
[141]
and is sweetened by the summer heat
[144]
B is a supermarket in this case waitrose
[148]
multi-pack of sort of basic lemons and
[150]
they're from Spain I'm confused though
[152]
because like B was a lot more Tangy and
[155]
that's what I'd expect from more premium
[157]
lemons Jay cut yourself a little wedge
[160]
just to munch on
[164]
[Music]
[169]
and not bitter or sour in the way that
[172]
you'd expect that lemon to be
[174]
interesting
[178]
oh there's what I was looking for B is
[182]
far more acidic than a is if I'm putting
[187]
it in a drink and I want it to look good
[188]
and I want it to impart a bit of flavor
[190]
a is the one that I would choose because
[192]
it does look better as a lemon and it
[194]
does have a more subtle but delicious
[197]
flavor to it whereas B packs a punch of
[200]
flavor and I would want to put it in
[202]
something like a lemon meringue pie but
[204]
I wouldn't want to show it off let's
[206]
talk price if the basic lemons are 30
[210]
Pence each
[212]
per lemon here we go how much do you
[214]
think for the premium ones this is the
[216]
bit I'm here for
[218]
it's gonna be that ridiculous let's just
[220]
say 60p 11. double double just double
[223]
I'm going to give a nice round number
[225]
pound per lemon not far off Jay it's one
[229]
pound fifteen per lemon
[232]
so what's that three and a half nearly
[233]
four times the price I'd find it very
[236]
hard to justify that myself that is a
[238]
Punchy style and I'm disappointed to
[240]
myself I should have done better saving
[242]
clawback point in round two
[244]
give it a go
[246]
[Music]
[249]
round number two two more dishes have a
[252]
taste have a smell have a sniff that's
[255]
the same thing off you go
[258]
oh
[260]
please don't be messy same rules apply
[263]
two very very similar dishes
[267]
[Music]
[268]
like a cold food
[270]
yeah I like it
[272]
[Laughter]
[274]
[Music]
[278]
oh
[279]
milk
[282]
garlicky fresh fruity in places
[287]
um they've got a slight warm to it as
[289]
well but I guess that's from the pepper
[290]
or the garlic
[291]
[Music]
[295]
oh
[296]
so dainty there's stuff in there that I
[299]
don't understand
[300]
what's up the early bird catches the
[303]
worm
[303]
other than garlic I haven't got any
[306]
other flavors I can say what it is
[308]
um are we judging garlic the garlic
[311]
correct yeah what you have in front of
[313]
you are two bowls of aho Bianco which is
[317]
a cold garlic soup from Spain
[320]
spectacular what are the worms
[322]
spiralized celery
[326]
like what which do we think is the
[329]
premium
[330]
I think a is quite fiery and Powerful
[334]
and punch you in the face with garlic
[335]
whereas I think beer is a bit more
[337]
nuanced uh my guess is
[340]
a is the premium I'm going to say B is
[343]
the premium it's time to D blindfold
[345]
this is this is really tough your guess
[347]
is already locked in you cannot change
[349]
your mind I can reveal to you that the
[352]
premium garlic is beef
[356]
I'm usually good at this but this is
[359]
interesting it's not about winning it's
[361]
about learning
[363]
so whilst a is a supermarket pretty
[367]
standard large bulb of white garlic B
[371]
has a PGI status from latrek in the
[374]
south of France grown on the chalky
[377]
Hills from small farmers and once it's
[380]
harvested and dried it's then sorted and
[384]
trimmed by hand to reveal the slightly
[387]
more pink clothes and they say as a more
[391]
subtle more delicate sweeter Nuance they
[395]
didn't use the word nuance but I'm using
[397]
it for you because I think you got that
[399]
because of the last round I learned that
[400]
it's not all about smacking the face
[402]
it's about the nuances that's what
[404]
screwed me
[406]
[Music]
[410]
it's one of it no
[412]
oh bloody hell
[414]
B
[420]
is more fiery interesting and that is
[423]
what we when we made the two suits side
[425]
by side did the same we we got the same
[427]
which is not exactly what they say they
[429]
say it's a more delicate version but
[431]
actually the strength of garlic has such
[433]
a influence from how old it is
[436]
so there's every chance that a new bulb
[440]
of Premium compared to an old bulb of
[443]
cheaper there might be the difference in
[446]
it it deteriorates and its pungency over
[449]
time so 60p for a large bulb from the
[452]
supermarket how much would you say to
[455]
you the more premium money is worth
[457]
I would say it's worth double the price
[459]
but I would just use half the amount I
[461]
usually do two pounds
[463]
bang on oh absolutely get the nail on
[467]
the head two pounds so a little bit more
[469]
than three times the price
[471]
for that PGA status the small farmers
[474]
the chalk the cut by hand and all those
[476]
things that go into the processing would
[478]
you say it's more than three times on
[481]
taste alone maybe if you run a Michelin
[483]
star restaurant and you want the best
[485]
garlic bread ever that might be going
[487]
forward
[488]
but for everyday cooking just use the
[491]
fog standard stuff and just use a lot of
[493]
it but make sure it's as fresh as
[495]
possible
[496]
the thought of having to cook after a
[498]
long day can be
[502]
our meal packs app can change this first
[505]
pick a meal Pack meal packs contain
[507]
three or more recipes that make you go
[509]
whoa I want to eat that these will be

[514]
[Music]
[516]
it then generates one shopping list and
[518]
this is a clever bit it stretches that
[520]
list of ingredients across all those
[522]

[553]
difference for yourself
[558]
number three get sniffing and eating get
[562]
back in the zone
[564]
come on
[569]
oh let's hit it oh
[574]
why would you make a sandwich that way
[577]
we have to entertain ourselves somehow
[578]
this sandwich looks amazing most of the
[583]
fillings on the outside of the sandwich
[585]
I'm I'm scared what sandwich is it
[589]
it's a mayonnaise sandwich with bits in
[591]
it I'm gonna say egg Mayo
[594]
snake mayo sandwich I mean that's
[595]
basically what you've got there
[597]
Alpha dig deep you're lucky we gave it a
[600]
lid
[601]
that one tastes my own there's something
[603]
different in that one okay interesting
[605]
I could taste the egg much more in B
[608]
than I could in a but I think I have a
[610]
third B because it's more familiar to
[612]
what I'm used to
[613]
so these are the mayonnaise correct okay
[616]
one of those is premium mayonnaise one
[618]
is a very basic Supermarket range in a I
[621]
can taste the mayonnaise in B I can
[624]
taste the eggs I'm gonna need you to
[626]
pick the premium I'm not confident
[628]
so I'm going to put this one forward
[632]
with that hand but he pushed a forward a
[634]
forward
[635]
a you can take your blind foot off and
[638]
look with would you change your mind
[640]
officially I'm now thinking
[643]
a looks quite White
[646]
the Mayo
[648]
generally the better the Mayo the more
[651]
yellow it is there is a big difference
[652]
but I don't know which one's more
[654]
premium I'm honest but you like B more
[656]
but I prefer that yeah I'm worried about
[658]
my answer and you should be because in
[661]
this instance B is the premium
[664]
wrong again you're a bit of shocker this
[667]
is awful so a is a supermarket basic
[671]
this particular one from Sainsbury's
[674]
and B is biona 25 years of organic food
[678]
certified organic gm3 suitable for
[681]
vegetarians No Air Miles ethical
[683]
sustainably source and a family business
[684]
this is what we wanted to see it's not
[686]
what I wanted to do do it
[689]
it's really vinegary
[691]
very sharp very acidic for a mayonnaise
[695]
yeah Spanish also has some fennel from
[698]
Corona seed obviously mustard as you'd
[700]
expect but it has a few other flavorings
[702]
in it take a look at the ingredients on
[704]
both bottles I don't know it's gonna be
[706]
a scary thing isn't it water
[707]
how much water do you normally put in
[709]
your mayonnaise
[710]
absolutely zero but the key thing there
[712]
is what percentage of oil 25.
[717]
77 sunflower oil and that's why a cheap
[721]
product tends to be so white because
[722]
it's basically
[724]
stabilized water I'm guessing price wise
[727]
we are talking like Worlds Apart I can I
[730]
reckon that's the jar can't be more than
[732]
20 30p 50p uh not far off it's 60p which
[737]
makes it one pound 20 a kilo okay how
[739]
much per kilo
[741]
for this particular branded premium
[744]
option
[746]
six pounds I think you're probably
[748]
looking at let's go somewhere six pound
[749]
fifty a kilo per kilo 13 pounds 90 per
[753]
kilo okay so I was a little bit off so
[756]
it's just over 11 times the price
[760]
but that jar itself just over three quid
[762]
and that is a fairly expensive version
[765]
and the brand have a lot of uh things
[768]
they play to with its organic gm3 no air
[771]
miles in the ingredients which is why
[772]
it's sunflower oil because that's local
[774]
to It's Made I would never go to that
[777]
level of cost because I know that I can
[780]
make really good mayonnaise and it
[782]
wouldn't cost that much I think
[783]
personally I'd go for something in the
[786]
middle
[787]
to dip my chips in
[789]
but anything above that I should make my
[790]
own yeah make your own should we try
[792]
number four
[795]
foreign
[797]
[Music]
[801]
into the last round as I can confidently
[804]
tell you that the chefs haven't messed
[806]
them out really no they really haven't
[808]
oh
[811]
this is not made for Beard
[815]
oh well done
[816]
rice pudding
[818]
incorrect okay
[820]
got some porridge of some salt like
[822]
porridge so honey honey
[829]
I said the honey that's different yes
[831]
correct one of them is made with a
[834]
fairly basic honey and one is made with
[837]
a more premium honey
[839]
the honey definitely tastes different
[842]
different Club teaspoon was a honey
[844]
please oh okay let's break the rules
[845]
gone we'll do the same for Jay desperate
[848]
times Mike there's no one's ever gone
[850]
zero and four so
[853]
hey hey hello B
[857]
foreign
[860]
why would you give me a spoon the wrong
[863]
way around
[864]
[Music]
[867]
I feel like a Goldilocks daddy bear
[870]
what happened no
[876]
[Music]
[879]
B
[881]
it's grainy I can feel the bees so
[883]
texture is a difference
[886]
chopped up as much in the B right you've
[890]
had enough time right and we've broken
[891]
the rules for you lock in your answer
[892]
off the spoon
[894]
I preferred
[896]
B
[897]
but in the porridge I think I prefer a
[901]
premium
[903]
is beef I think the a might have a
[905]
deeper richer
[907]
flavor to it than b you can take off
[911]
your blindfold not as much left to look
[914]
at
[915]
the premium
[917]
is
[918]
a you got them all wrong every single
[921]
one
[925]
ah
[927]
that is remarkable no a is an organic
[931]
Acacia honey 100 raw honey from Italy zo
[937]
Lombardi and Piedmont
[940]
whereas B is a supermarket relatively
[944]
basic
[946]
squeezy honey in the sense it's in a jar
[948]
that can squeeze but its place of origin
[951]
is from several non-eu countries so
[954]
Blended together and you're right in the
[957]
texture it has already crystallized a
[961]
little bit from when we pretty much
[963]
opened it earlier what is noticeable
[966]
when you have local honey is just how
[969]
different the aroma can be
[971]
if I notice it while I'm smothering my
[974]
porridge or waffles at home I'm not
[977]
sure
[979]
and how big the ingredient is in the
[981]
dish you're doing if it's a little bit
[983]
in a marinade for a number of things on
[984]
a dressing it might be masked by other
[986]
things if it's honey on toast or honey
[988]
on porridge or honey on pancakes then it
[991]
might have more of a focus let's talk
[992]
price ah I know that Honeys can get
[995]
really expensive keep it simple let's
[997]
talk per kilo B is six pounds 20 a kilo
[1003]
12 pounds 30 pound per kilo it is in
[1007]
fact 40 pounds per kilo
[1009]
that jar is a tenner
[1012]
so a lot more expensive yeah and with it
[1015]
you get a lot more understanding of
[1018]
where the honey has come from and the
[1021]
fact that it is organic Acacia honey as
[1024]
opposed to that kind of mystery blend in
[1026]
B definitely tastier but probably not
[1029]
for everyday use I would stick to
[1032]
it's a basic squeezy bottle
[1035]
to our Force bath not happy with that
[1038]
performance not your best game not
[1039]
happening can I go home now
[1043]
Barry Taylor
[1045]
got
[1047]
zero out of four
[1050]
don't say that's ever happened before
[1051]
making you the winner
[1055]
I thought I didn't do great but that has
[1057]
just made my day well over to you guys
[1060]
comment down below which of those
[1062]
ingredients were most interesting to you
[1064]
and why yeah and while you're down there
[1066]
if you've got other everyday ingredients
[1068]
you'd love us to explore and discuss let
[1071]
us know
[1072]
[Music]
[1073]
foreign
[1078]
this is going to be far more difficult
[1080]
because I haven't been able to smell or
[1081]
taste anything for the last few days not
[1082]
sure why
[1085]
we have to put a disclaimer say that we
[1087]
take lateral flow tests before filming
[1089]
now which is a waste of air time
