I'd love there to be a graphic that pops up when the country is revealed for us visual learners so we can see its neighbors.

The look on Barry's face when Mike suggested Yorkshire pudding batter, you could see the hamster wheels at full speed behind the eyes :)

I adore when Mike aggressively yells at a dish!

Have you guys changed the company that does your captioning? These captions definitely have fewer errors than usual, and I like the fact that when the speaker changes they put the speaker's name on it. Definitely better accessibility, good job whoever did those :)

Taiwanese comment : We and China both have a variety of different stinky tofu dishes, especially southern parts of China. Two common types of stinky tofu in Taiwan are steamed and deep-fried, we enjoy them with different sauces and pickled cabbage.🇹🇼

I will say, living in Panama, when you said pork scratchings and yucca I knew it was going to be from someplace nearby. Also, I am SO HAPPY to see some love for Cool Daddy (the Uzbek youtuber) on here! He's a king.

12 years ago i moved to china and smelled Stinky tofu for the first time. I thought there was a sewage break nearby and my wife insisted it was stinky tofu. She was right. A few months later, after id smelled that stuff a dozen times, we were walking down the street and i joked i smelled sewage. As usual my wife insisted it was stinky tofu. A block away we find a broken drain pipe leaking raw sewage into the street. Looks like i was right. A decade later we still play "Is it sewage or stinky tofu" as a game.

Ben is out here pronouncing Nicaragua like that lady who said "mee-cro-wavay"

You could do a whole episode about the street food of Wuhan, it's a well known street food region of China. Most of your viewers probably only know it for recent history but the food is incredible and it really deserves some positive media! A few popular foods: regan mian, doupi, lotus root soup, mian wo.

I really like how Mike described the "bad" smell getting better by having "a sense of place". That makes so much sense. Blue cheese smells good to me, as my mind has, over the years associated that with yum.

The best kind of stinky tofu is the kind you can smell three streets away! My brothers and I have often followed our noses straight to the stall haha. I prefer it without the sauce, because I find the sauce tends to make the outside skin go soggy, but if you eat it plain with just a little salt it's delicious.

The geography geek and food lover in me loves this series. Also love playing along at home, with the first one also glad I'm at home and smell-a-vision isn't a thing yet

I love how they answered Cambodia for the first and yet they could have answered it again for the khanom krok, since we have the same dish in Cambodia (usually more savory). Was so confused to see Cambodia answered for stinky tofu though!

Never seen anything from Uzbek cuisine on KZfaq. I love this series for this very reason. Now I will look up the creator they highlighted!! Thanks Sorted!

I love the look of Mike making a mental map in his head after hearing Nicaragua, figuring out hes won. Great video guys!

Chou Doufu (as stinky tofu is called in Mandarin) can be so good! It does depend on the vendor/ maker, though. I remember a teaching assistant swearing by a local vendor and went out to get a portion one day when we were hanging out outside of work. She returned and I, as promised, tried it. I became a regular at that vendor's street cart afterwards. It was so good! Sadly, street markets are only just starting to return to our city since CoVid ended last year (for us) and I've not seen that vendor.

for the next episode, you guys should try a street dessert called "Klepon" from Indonesia. It's a sweet rice cake ball filled with molten palm sugar and coated in grated coconut. The molten palm sugar inside would burst in your mouth when you bite it. Would love to see their reactions😂

Im from Nicaragua and Ive been watching Sorted videos for the past 5 years and Ive been longing for you guys to discover some of our Unique cousine. After all theres more of “La Loca” type foods out here hahaha You guys are awesome!

Suggestion for a variation on the format: Go somewhere with a great international food market (there's one where I live in Oxford) and get the food from there, then get the normals to guess the nationality of the stall!

A suggestion for street food: try Bolivian food! There’s loads of great stuff to get, depending on the region. My mom grew up there and talks about the street food at least once a week

Barry with the first one was giving me ‘Barry’s Food Hell’ vibes!

Two shout outs to New Zealand in a row from Ben... sounds like he's been researching a trip!

That moment when the episode suddenly turned into a Pokerface Challenge. 😂

Not sure what the better question is… how many did you get right OR how wrong were you? 😂

These videos are so much fun 😊 I'd love to see Kush and Ben guessing the origin too

I'd love to see an episode where all the dishes are from the same country as a twist or from neighboring countries

These ones are the best episodes ! Laughed my arse off at the chilli bit !

If you do want something from Cambodia, there is an amazing stuffed frog dish you can get their with lemongrass and peanuts. No idea what it's called but it's absolutely delicious!

I just wanted to say, that the way I've started to follow the Sorted video uploads is with Mike singing "Sunday, Monday happy days" in my head from the video way way back 😂

Love Baz and Mike together in these competitions 😂

4:30 M.I.T!! Super happy you guys tried the Stinky Tofu, my favorite street food from home, and kudos to Barry to hold back the gag XD

Why is the khanom-krok brown though? It's usually white with none/one type of topping on it, not mixed. The toppings usually are scallion, yellow corn, like you did, and taro. Yes, it is sweet with a touch of saltyness to cut through the fattyness, and creaminess from the coconut cream. Yes, it's very delicious.

I love this format ! Thank you so much for another episode of it. I am looking forward to see, if I can guess where the dishes are from.

Normally I'm terrible at these but this time I was so proud of myself for guessing the first one right (and getting awfully close to the other ones)

13:55 Barry no... why would you think that's a good idea? 14:00 Mike no... do you really give into peer pressure that easily? the most hilarious 30 seconds where they learn the consequences of their actions 14:35 Ben - unbothered king! love to see it

I love the subtitles at 14:29, Barry: [inaudible 00:14:29] 🤣🤣

You guys have to do Oscypek in your next street food. It's a decorated sheep milk cheese from Poland, sold on the streets by mountain people.

11:08 I was thinking you cooked it in an abelskiever pan!! I was trying to think of what southeast asian countries interacted with Denmark

I just realised that this video really needs a globe with guess and actual location. Would help a lot.

The inaudible it on the captions at 13:22: Mike: Is that a vegetable, or a fruit? Barry: This is lovely Kind regards A guy who has been captioning videos for the last couple of weeks at work!

Happy to see you bringing back yet another one of your best formats!

I stumbled upon this gem, and I'm so glad I did. Instantly hooked.❤❤❤

@SortedFood idea for an adaptation of this format: take the first bite while still wearing the blindfolds and give both competitors a chance to guess right off the bat. Both have the option to take the blindfold off and visually inspect the dish too. if someone guesses from taste alone, they get 5 points, but only if they get it right. if it's not the right answer, then the one closest wins, whether he was wearing a blindfold or not.

Would love to see Australia in this sometime but i cant think of any Australian street foods as many of ours are from the many cultures we have here. Maybe a HSP/AB would be the closest thing to a street food we have of our own even though variations of if it do exist elsewhere

Yes! I love this format

Love this format!

Yum! A bit of an online demo for those dishes would be brilliant. It's almost dinner time here in Melbourne and I'm salivating! Best wishes Ian.

This theme of video has it all. Food, knowledge and humor....well done boys!

I still can't believe it!! I guessed it!! But not without your description Ben!! and the knowledge you guys have insstilled upon us.. Amazing that just by logiq learned just by watching you guys, I was able todeduct this... Just by this alone you have made a better chef.. cos' I'm not a native englidh spesker

that second dish, Gumma, before they opened it, I thought for sure that it was a bowl of oliebollen (oil balls), a Dutch treat, mostly consumed around new years eve. Variations include plain batter, with raisins, with a creamy filling applied after deep frying, or with boerenjongens, aka rum soaked raisins. It's served with a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar.

You should really mess with the boys and do Butte Montana Pasties. It’s a take on an Irish staple that’s morphed as it’s made its way across the US and adapted to the local mining culture.

Stuffed Yorkshire Pudding Donut next cooking battle let's go!!

Always love these 🙌

Ah, measuring from the centroid of Australia makes it a risky guess!

Oh man! Goes to show that neighbors really do influence each other! I thought I was so sure the khanom krok was Vietnam's banh khot, but was so confused that it was more sweet than savory and had corn! Our banh khot does use coconut milk in the rice flour, but made with shrimp as a topping + sweet fish sauce.

I think this is my favorite series on Sorted from a food discovery standpoint, can count on some good stuff to seek out

Yuca , Chicharrónes, La loca , el gordito, la pelona, la perla. As a Colombian i applaud your pronunciation Ben ! You nailed them! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I love these challenges! Good job!

I love these videos!

Love eating lunch and watching a sorted vid

I got the stinky tofu and the kahnom kroak right but I had never seen the other two dishes before! :D Thanks for another super fun and enlightening video~

I’d love an episode of everything made in the ebelskiver pan around the world! Vitumbua, ebelskiver, takoyaki, etc.

I really like these videos educational and fun, and keeps me inspired to travel and try foods from around the world

Growing up in HK, we used to have stinky tofu sold as street food as well. It was sold in these travelling carts. My mom LOVED it so much that she would have to get it every time we smelled it let alone saw it that my dad and I would have to cross the road and move like 3-4 blocks down just to escape the smell and she'd gobble it up before coming to meet us to leave. The street food carts don't sell them anymore but some restaurants do and like outdoor food fairs and bazaars and I've developed a taste for it and like it a lot but I don't remember them being as stinky as they used to be, I miss the intense funky fish stinkiness that the ones I had in Taiwan are.

I've just been to Albania and had some really nice Burek. I think you should try that next.

that lamb pastry thing looked amazing

I'm stunned that I got Thailand and Nicaragua both spot on I never get these things right!

You guys really need to come to NZ and Aussie, the mentions in the last few videos are a clear sign :)

I got Thailand! Congratulations Mike. Love seeing these.

That's twice is a week that New Zealand gets a mention. So happy with that since we don't have our own cuisine so I never thought we would be mentioned at all 😂

If yall get the chance to go to Taiwan definitely check out all the night markets! They are amazing and I think you guys would love them!

I'd love to see you guys try toasted ravioli and/or other US regional foods.

I love Khanom krok , I have an idea that what it was and then the coconut and the pan cemented this , I used to have this as breakfast on my way to work. There are so many Thai dishes that you need to try

Very happy to see a nicaraguan dish. Instead of the chili you used, we usually have the dish with a pickle of onion, carrots and “chile cabro”. Also, the order is very important: first the cassava, then chicharrones and last the cabbage salad. It still looks fantastic the way you did it.

Forever requesting this series be renamed “place the taste”

Gotta be up there with one of my favourite formats!

As soon as I saw the first dish, and with the smell they described, I knew what it was!! I'm from Taiwan, and have watched you guys for years. (remember pork floss egg pancake in a previous global street food episode? that was us too!) If you ever visit (please do!!) I'd love to recommend places and/or show you guys around XD

Woo! A new Sorted Food video always makes my day!!

11:58 don’t worry, Mike. We have several dishes that are similar to _khanom krok_ in Indonesia, so you’re not that far off, really. Some very interesting stuff you got this episode. I’ve been to Taiwan a couple of times but never had the guts to try stinky tofu, that _gumma_ looks so good, and _vigorón_ looks like something that we’d like in Indonesia as well. We probably douse it in some pungent sauce, though 😄

Lets gooooooo, been waiting for one of these

Having heard Saudi Arabia, I really want you guys to try some of the dishes from there! We have plenty to choose from

Great. My guess for the first dish was Cambodia as well.

YES YOU DID STINKY TOFU FROM TAIWAN I've been waiting for that one :D :D :D the shape is looking unusual though, they don't look like that normally, so I couldn't guess from the visuals xD

I can't believe I actually nailed Uzbekistan for some reason :D :D :D

Khanom Krok was a wonderful reminder for me of how well it was similar to Kerala breakfast Appam which is similar to the SriLankan hopper.

I’m very proud of the 4 points I would have earned. 🤣 I got Thailand and I was closer than both of them for Uzbekistan. I would love to try all of these dishes!

Germknödel is an amazing sweet german dish that is sold by food stalls in Croatia during the advent

Glad to finally see some Nicaraguan food on the show! Still hoping you spin us for the "n" a-z video and get to try another of our little secret gems!

For the kanom krok, there should be a bit less spring onion and it should be fine chopped the way chives are chopped

In Indonesia, we have something similar to the food from Thailand. It is also made from rice flour and coconut, it is called 'Serabi'.

4:33 man I guessed China! So really I was only a bit of water and a century or so of history away. The milk connection makes sense thinking about bubble tea with milk, and also a lot of enriched cakes & breads I've heard of in Taiwan.

5:35 I thought they were some bad oliebollen lol. You should have some :)

Gotta love me some Vigorón, such a good, simple, dish. Now that you did Nicaragua, maybe travel a bit further south to Costa Rica next? :D I'd love to see your take on our Tamales (usually made for christmas) which are quite different from others in the region.

I got the Thailand one thanks to watching Dancing Bacons channel, where they've had those on more than one occasion. They're made in a takoyaki pan, identical in function to an ebelskiver pan, though takoyaki pans tend to be larger and make more at one time.

This channel makes me happy 😊

khanom krok is SOOO goooodd! it remind me of this other thing I ate growing up called nom krok, kinda like a pancake served with a sweet fish sauce

Ben's glasses reflecting the sorted food sign make me want those glasses and keeps me looking like what is that.

I have both pans - the Khrom krok (wells smaller in diameter and more shallow) and Danish aebleskiver pan (wells round like a half ball) The aebleskiver s we make every Christmas. The Thai pan I have not used much because I can buy them freshly made in our Asian store in Southern California. I have never seen it filled with something. Must try that.

When I go to the sugar shacks during maple syrup season, we have a feast. I am an egg fanatic and when they bring a long oval plate with the omellette (egg) so thick and delicious, I would love it if you would demonstrate on how the heck does it come out that way! That is what I go crazy for at the sugar shack.

I was so convinced the second dish was "Oliebollen" (translates to oil balls) which is a festive treat often eaten at new years eve in the Netherlands. @Kush please put those in the next video as a trick question haha 😂
