AD | Maia was one of the standout contributors from our trip with @georgiatravel – being invited into her home near Kutaisi to get a taste of authentic Imereti cuisine was an absolute highlight of our trip.
Have you tried any Imereti dishes before??

Just how many years did James have to spend working and training to be a chef to work out that a spice mix has spice in it. I know he was referring to the use of the word spice when it's used to describe heat but still. There is heat from Ben with there is spice from James.

Ben's absolute trollface at 18:07 is great.

I learned from Alton Brown that if you're making an apple pie, it's nice to grind up some Grains of Paradise (or Alligator Pepper) and toss it in with your apple mixture.

For a future battle, how about Montreal Steak Spice:
Salt
Black Pepper
White Pepper
Mustard seeds
Coriander seeds
Granulated Garlic
Onion powder or flakes
Dill seed.
(Recipe from the Glen and Friends YouTube channel.)

Would it really have been so difficult to give them a pot each? 🙃

I enjoyed this one.

I'd love to see the chefs guess our spice blends from throughout Oceania. So many people afar have never even heard of wattleseed or gundabluey.

Very much enjoyed this presentation. Please do it again!

I love seeing the chefs Learn. Ben commences beloved lecture mode, James is just like nom nom nom. 😋

Garam doesn't mean aromatic, just means warm. I'm sure everyone Indian recognized it just by looking at it
@SquishableGirl

James got two points for not specifying which cardamom pods. I would have given him half a point for not specifying a type of cardamom. Being more specific in the identification is more skillful. Great format for a video. I enjoy it when Ben is in the hot seat.
@linebrunelle1004

I blend my own so I got Bebere. love it. Also Ras el Hanout, so good, refined taste. Jerk, Louisiana or Indian base. Experiment. your tastebuds will thank you.
@donettmurphy420
January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
Wow…I loved this because we learned along with the chef. I am going to make my own spice blend now.
@lindahardy3083
January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
James covers his answers yet Ben gets more anyway, James also takes ownership of the bowl of spice where Ben has to take a pinch, lol
@blakebraden21

I got a score. It was 0, but it was still a score.

I would love another one of these chef v chef spice challenges!
@Spicoli1Bilek
January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
Getting a full video to compare Mike and James. I can confer James is Mike's brother. His much larger and at least as cool if not cooler brother.
@Spicoli1Bilek
January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
I'm pretty sure that James is Mike's older gay or autistic brother. Don't get me wrong I prefer James over Barry any d*** day and I think James brings a whole lot to the crew I wish he would come back. I'm sure it's a lot for James to come back and do even a show here or there but I would love to see an entire season of James come back and school everybody.

Thank you Kush for your work on these blends. A joy to watch the chefs sweat lol

I wonder if you guys ever consider inviting gordon ramsay to this spice guessing games.
I want to know how good is his spice knowledge.
@Amit_Budhraja
January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
So the Ethiopian cuisine is heavily influenced by India due to the 2000+ year old sea trade routes. Hence their spice blends and use of spices has a lot of similarities…

I didn't know they had rose petals inside garam masala
Oh ok it was his person blend 😅

It would be interesting to know what spices are local to Britain before colonisation started. Because of movies and the history lessons we learned in school, westerners went to Asia for spices.

Fenugreek is not a funny Greek. Grains of paradise somehow isn't rice. Stone Flower isn't even a flower. Mace won't bludgeon you in the face.

I lived in Tunisia my entire life and I have never heard of this spice blend nor saw that dish, Tunisian couscous is usually red with the exception of borzgen couscous and masfouf (a sweet couscous) so this is quite a confusing discovery for me.
@christinaclark9754
January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
I did actually guess the African one. Something I picked up at one point. It would be nice to be able to get the recipes for the spice blends.
@joelpersson4783

Berbere spice blend is indeed fantastic. The flavours aren’t fully released though, until after some 3-4 hours of cooking. Preferably with extra fat as it binds the spice.
Ethiopian “Wat”
raguis a great dish you ought to make!Sweat 1 kilo of chopped red onions in 350 grams of butter and 4-5 tablespoons of high quality Berbere. Add 1 kilo of beef mince and brown it together. Add 1 kilo of chopped tinned tomatoes. Season with salt. Simmer for 3-4 hours, preferably longer. Do not skim the surface, the taste is in the butter.
Serve on a plate with Injera. If you don’t have access to injera or will not make it yourself (not that hard once you get the hang of it!), serve it on top of a thick slice of white bread instead. Serve with loads of vegetables. Sliced banana, boiled egg-halves and sour cream. A truly amazing dish!

The look on James's face at 1:12 when told that there were 16 spices to identify. Anyone else good at lipreading 😜
@neiliusflavius
January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
I was thinking I was doing quite well in guessing until I remembered that I'd already watched the video!
@SillyTube9
January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
Berbere in scrambled eggs with dill weed. Next-level awesome. Get up on that. Also good with diced Mayan sweet onions mixed in.

Just recently discovered some southern American spice blends- Gullah, Old Bay, Gumbo. Those would be cool to do

"I'm sorry, you put black stone flower?" might be my favorite Sorted moment

I guessed berbere from the look and their description and Im not even there!

Guys I'm a big fan, but wtf is that lemon at 11:06. Its like 60% rind lol.

January 1, 2024 at 6:57 am
The moment Ben said "It's bitter" in Poudre de Colombo, I immediately shouted fenugreek seeds. I don't know of any other whole spice that adds bitterness along with flavor into a spice mix.
