What happens if you just… don’t stop sending orders?
We put chefs Ben, James and Kush into a full restaurant-style service and then kept the orders coming non-stop. No breaks. No slowdown. Just constant pressure.
With pasta, pizza and seafood flying out of the kitchen, this quickly becomes a test of skill, communication and pure endurance.
The question is… can they actually keep up?

We’ve been nominated for a Webby Award (basically the Oscars of the Internet 🥹)… for this video!
So here’s a little BTS from How Many Cooks Can Spoil The Broth.
Yes… Mike and Baz really did drive around London in a Microlino.
Yes… they did look slightly ridiculous 😂
But this video is so much more than that. It’s a celebration of the London food scene, and the incredible chefs who make it what it is.
If you love what we do, your vote would mean everything! It takes 10 seconds – thank you! 💛

My mom used to always put a sixpence in a scone for one lucky family member to find. One year she didn't have a sixpence but had a diamond. BAD idea. No one found the diamond the first go around and we spend days waiting for it to "resurface". Yeah do not recommend. Never knew where she found the sixpence as I was raised in California.

@StephenNgo-sw7ty

For Australia, prawn cocktail, potato salad cold cuts, random bits and pieces would've been more accurate. Not fancy at all.

We have venison chili in my family but I don't think that's terribly common here in the south US. It should be though! It can be started early in the day to leave you free for hosting and it tastes excellent.

I completely whiffed on Australia, guessed Poland right, went for Finland instead of Norway, and was confused on the Philippines until you said "soy lime glaze" and immediately got it right. And then you said kalimansi and I knew it couldn't be anything but Philippines.
I'm actually a little disappointed in this selection. Not because any of them were bad or because there was anything missing from traditional home-cooked Christmas meals, since I know you can't exactly do the whole world in one video, but it would've been hilarious to top off all the gourmet versions of traditional Christmas fare from around the world with KFC still in the packaging and see if anyone manages to guess Japan. Honestly, when you said at the beginning that the last round was worth two points, I figured that's where you were going with it.

This years Australian version of Christmas is everyone supplies their favourite – mine is prawns and salads, one sister’s is whole cooked salmon and cold cuts, and the other sister is a pork roast. Trifle, pavlova, tiramisu and Mum insists on a hot pudding. We cook the hot stuff on a kettle bbq and all share. It’s a weird eclectic feast but we love it.
@magdalenawilka5452
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
Aww… finally my dreams came truth: there's a polish food!:D Most popular is of course karp- breaded and fried and barszcz czerwony, but as already mentioned in the comments- for the Christmas eve (Wigilia) it's clear and with uszka (small dumplings with a dried forrest mushrooms filling:) What You've had looked more like a barszcz ukraiński, botwinka or (if it was cold)- chłodnik. In my familly we have also karp jelly: boiled karp in a karp heads broth (no gelatine needed;). In some regions there's a mushroom soup instead of barszcz and f.ex. Silesians have (disgusting in my opinion, maybe never tried the right one?;) moczka- kind of soup (eaten as a desert) made of gingerbread and beer. And there's a dried fruit kompot (compote) to digest it all;) and of course hay under the table cloth and an extra empty plate (for a wanderer, Jesus or the missing ones…) You may also check kutia- that's interesting one!:)

Filipino here, and almost a year late, but I have to say I truly enjoyed seeing rellenong manok (roll the double Ls to get the pronunciation right) here. Those of us with Spanish forebears also call it chicken/pollo gallantina. My late mother used to debone the chickens herself, while chatting with us in the kitchen. Thank you, my Ma would have enjoyed this.

Whoever it is that does the lyrics for all the jingles and parody songs on this channel is a genius, they never disappoint
@Enomino1
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
Rellenong Manok (Rel-yeh-nong Mah-nok) Derived from the spanish word Relleno (Reh-yeh-no) which means STUFFED. Sounds similar but while spanish double L's makes a YEH sound, filipinos pronounce it with a bit of the L before the YEH sound
@ethancampbell215

It’s really interesting seeing how traditions vary across the world despite following the same holiday. Having always lived in England, I would always expect a roasted turkey, brussel sprouts, pigs in blankets and crispy roast potatoes smothered with meaty gravy as the absolute minimum for a Christmas dinner, yet that’s so far away from a traditional Australian Christmas dinner despite both dishes celebrating the same calendar holiday
@camillatony3706
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
Norwegian Christmas: meat must be steamed over water for 2.5 hours (if they are in water, they will be as dry as the ones in the video)
btw: can you try mutton cabbage?
@susan.connelly9955
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
Another Australian here, yes to prawns, the rest of that dish never shows up at any Christmas dinner I’ve ever had.
@minimim89
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
As a Pole living in England, you should visit one of the many Polish shops around Christmas time. You'll see that even there you can find hay for the table. We're still doing all of those, and more for Christmas. Even when we're abroad 😊
@Nixx0912
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
We also have "opłatek", it's a nice tradition, you break it with your familly before the feast wishing eachother health, wealth etc.

I think no matter how hard you try to replicate a countries food, you'll get slated by naysayers. They tried their best guys after doing research and going off that. Give them a break. It's a fun thing. 🙄
@carolameuffels9737
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
so in the southern part of the Netherlands (Limburg) traditionally a lot of people eat "sour rabbit". The recipe may vary per family but it is amazing and contains appelstroop🙂
@keelieinwonderland
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
Right Barry wasn’t wrong in what he thought. That coconut is defo not on the table at Christmas, for most of us
@TLRuffian
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
I think the issue with the "Australian" dish is the way it was presented..
Few prawns, thousand island dressing and a tropical salad minus the coconut would have been better received perhaps 😂
Though a traditional Aussie chrissy dish will vary from household to household, I think you will find 😉 We just love food 💖
@E4mj
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
Just about everyone I knew growing up (here in Australia) had different things for Christmas… but not one of them was Turkey. In fact, I have had turkey once (in 33 years) and it was by my aunt, who is from the Philippines (and everything else on the table was from there too).
Christmas dinner was always a favourite for me though, my family is spread across the world, so most christmases it was just me and mum and dad, so we would have an 'orphan's Christmas', which basically meant anyone who didn't have somewhere to go for Christmas came to ours. … which often meant foods from around the world, because it was often our friends/neighbours whose family were on the other side of the world who were Christmas orphans! Yum. German cookies, Pakistani curries, Irish desserts!

@sylviaritson6858
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
Agreeing with the other Aussies that our prawn and salad concept would generally be rather simpler that that first dish.
My family often start with a fairly simple prawn salad, then go full English traditional for the rest – roast Turkey/Chicken (depending on numbers), Ham (just coated in crumbs with cloves and glace cherries stuck on), roast veggies. And then Christmas pudding – complete with sixpences and threepences mum's saved from the 60's when our currency changed! So I really laughed when you started talking about that in the second section!
I would LOVE to see more Australian food on here though. In particular, considering how much you talk about umami, you should be able to have a field day with Vegemite!

Hey guys, enjoy your vids, particularly the Christmas episodes. I know it is a little late to the party, but wanted to weigh in on your around the world taste test traditions. The 3rd country, Poland 🇵🇱 dishes and traditions could easily be confused with Ukraine 🇺🇦 . The customs and traditions are nearly identical to Ukrainian traditions (with the possible exception of the money under the plate. Ukraine also sets an extra plate for those travellers, but we expand on that to also include a sheath of wheat (usually under the table) so the animals wouldn’t be left in the cold. Two of the dishes further also directs to Ukrainian culture. Pyroghy (Pieroghi) is the Polish name and also the name used in Western Ukraine (and primarily among Ukrainian-Canadians who for the most part originate from Western Ukraine. Canada has the third highest population of Ukrainians behind Ukraine and Russia) for the dish more commonly known as Vareniky. Poland brought this dish back from Kyivan Rus (Kyiv, as in the present capital of Ukraine and originally the capital of Kyivan Rus or Old Russia). This dish is common among Eastern European and slavic countries from Russia to Italy and probably has its birthplace in China (it is believed to have made its way west with the Mongolian Explorations). The other dish is also common among Slavic and Eastern European countries, but has its origin in Ukraine. That being Borscht. There are many different variations of the dish, but it is believed they all stem from the dish made with red beets which can trace its roots again to the region around Kyiv and Bucha (where the Borschahivka River is) Ukraine. Borscht is now recognized as part of Ukraines Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.

I’d love to know who comes up with the lyrics for the songs these guys create, has to be one of the team with all the personal references that an outside source wouldn’t know or appreciate, it might be a team effort but there’s definitely a lead writer in the squad because the guys talents evidently lie in various places, only Baz or Mike standing out as the ‘creative’ souls of the group 😂😂

Was surprised to find a Norwegian dish here. Correction, though: pinnekjøtt is not really braised but rather steamed for several hours.

January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
i'm norwegian, and we've never had potato salad with our pinnekjøtt .o. we've always just had boiled potatoes. also, pinnekjøtt translates to stick meat, probably because you steam it on top of these wooden sticks 🙂
@HrHaakon
January 4, 2024 at 11:26 am
To be fair though, potato salad is not a typical part of the mutton rib dish.
It's typically the fancy potatoes on christmas. 🙂

Man, I'm a Filipino and I've never seen this chicken dish being served during Christmas, even in other households I've visited. Based on the ingredients,I think it's a misrepresentation of chicken galantine. Which would be more correct. It's a common dish to serve during Christmas eve. Any co-filipinos confirm this?
