BEAT THE CHEF: MYSTERY BOX COOKING CHALLENGE | Vol. 10 Sorted Food

Published

on



AD| Who’s ready for another Beat the Chef: Mystery Box Challenge? Today Barry’s going it alone against Ebbers to create a dish that celebrates hero ingredient olive oil!

But they couldn’t do it without the help of the experts at @BASFAgro. We sent them on a journey to learn all they could about incredible olives, from how they’re grown to how to make the most of them. But can they use what they’ve learnt to really get the best out of their oil?

Who do you back, chef or normal? Watch to find out James’s winner!

And there’s more – catch us Behind the Scenes with the experts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1nuPC_DPTc

    Lots of eagle eyed viewers have pointed out this video contains a certain James Currie, Mike’s nan’s knitwear, and Barry when he used to get haircuts – needless to say, this video was shot over the course of a few months to fit in with various Covid restrictions and make sure everyone involved was as safe as possible! Unfortunately Barry’s long hair will return on Wednesday’s video!!

    It's crazy how much different the olive orchard looks in Greece compared to California. The trees themselves too, the ones I have picked from looked more like willows. Same type of leaf though, very cool.

    Totally disagree with James' verdict. Ebbers went straight (?) down the obvious savoury route for olives – Barry, on the other hand took this ingredient in a direction quite new to the vast majority of us, expanding it's use and versatility. – and he did it all without the prop of a ridiculous and unnecessary wooden spoon.
    For shame, James! Despite all your pretensions, you cast your personal honour aside to maintain the closed-shop mentality that only Chefs have the authority in the kitchen…
    (And to think I used to have so much time for Gingers…) 😉

    OK, love the channel but as an actual farmer I'm getting really sick of your climate change propaganda. The greatest threat to production is the WEF and local government. These farmers are hand picked shills for the NWO

    Maybe it's a semantics thing, but I've never heard them called "vine leaves" before. I always understood them to be "grape leaves".

    Sorry Barry, but you got schooled hard.

    Ironically I think I’d rather eat Bens, because while I don’t mind olive oil, I detest olives!🤷‍♀️👍🏻

    This would be my worst nightmare, olives are the devil's food YUK

    I love this series of showcasing regional ingredients, farmers and ingredients! As a South American viewer, I would love to see some latin american ingredients (perhaps some that are commonly used in the UK to keep in line with the majority of viewers)? 😊

    I love ben. But for a guy who seems like he would lose a fight to anyone in the room… even the staff I can't and have never seen. He sure does have a mouth on him.

    She said a lot but didn't answer the question.
    A lot of organic farms uses organic pesticites, which are neither healthier nor safer for the environment.

    Why did u ask him how to pick fruit are u retarded or do you think your audience is

  27. @tarahobson1525

    January 12, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    Maybe a silly question, but is the guest saying 'Althenian' or 'Altenian' olive tree? The CC on my screen is terrible but this video was very informative. Thanks all <3

    Being from Greece and loving my background, Ben’s dolma looked unreal

  31. @CityOfMazin

    January 12, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    Honestly it's very interesting how Greeks and Arabs have similar food cultures. I assume Arabs or Greek people learned from each other or something, but it's very interesting to see.

    I'm an expert olive oil degustator and Baz's ice cream is the best thing I ever seen in my life 💚

    January 12, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    I'm finally getting to the point where the two egg bang intro sting for videos don't ALWAYS cause Down Under – Men at Work to start playing in my head. I wonder if that means I've been watching too much Sorted.

    January 12, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    I've eaten tar ice cream and spruce tip ice cream in some Finnish restaurants and both are some of my absolute favourite flavours (sadly hard to get a hold of in suoermarkets even up here in the north) so I honestly don't think Barry's olive ice cream here sounds bad at all! Especially with the whole rest of the sundae too.
