Hey folks it is Barry here welcome to my virgin kitchen todays video is called the sandwich
challenge, quite recently I did a video called the tin can challenge with Stuart Ashen which
was filmed in the youtube space in London, whenever we cook in there we cannot cook there
so we do tasting videos, the tin can challenge a lot of you felt along with me and stuart
that he got a bit of a rough ride there, but it was completely random and the sandwich
thing is quite similar to that, basically we have got ten random ingredients here I
have listed them out right here so you can read those five ingredients go into one sandwich,
five ingredients go into the other, and I will ring Stuart right now to pick the five
ingredients first.
Hello, hello, how are you?
Not bad, how are you?
I am good I am looking forward to tasting some delicious food with you in London tomorrow
hence the call.
Oh I see well you may be disappointed on that front, oh no well this sandwich could be nice,
I have ten ingredients in front of me, I need five from you and I will take the remaining
five, so I am giving you the choice here, oh god, the stress, numbers one to ten.
So five out of one to ten, yeah.
How about, six, seven, yes, eight, I see where this is going, nine and one just to throw
you off again ok alright I was going to say that is a youtube video on how to count.
Haha yeah but only for a very small region, so six, seven, eight, nine and one.
Alrighty I will make these sandwiches and see you tomorrow!
My stomach trembles in anticipation and not in a good way, alright see you tomorrow, bye.
There we go then folks straight from the horses mouth we have the ingredients there, lets
make these two sandwiches.
music interlude whilst sandwiches are made alright then guys two sandwiches made, one
that looks like a boob, the other that looks like a suspicious package I have just done
that so we know which one is which, as you know I hate blue cheese, putting that sandwich
together was hard enough and I actually have to taste that one so lets go to our nations
capital for a little tasting.
Ok so here we are in our nations capital, mr Ashens is here, hello, you alright?
I am not bad, so after your phone call yesterday I made these delicious sandwiches in front
of us, one of them really smells, it does yes I was not very popular on the train on
the way in.
So Stuart has no idea what is in here, I have genuinely no idea, so you have put 5 ingredients
into one sandwich, five in one and five in the other so yes, I would say that I thought
you had the easier deal yesterday, and in my mind there mine was worst but there should
be a bit of a kick in yours I think, I hope there is not cat food, dog food or minced
snake in it, I did get some quite good quality sesame bread actually you would have seen
that yesterday, yeah the bread does look good actually, oh my god, I do not know which half
to go for, this one looks kind of more congealed, is that a haribo in there?
Haha I think you may have guessed the first ingredient, yes haribo is in there, yes a
nice healthy haribo sandwich.
Here goes, oh wow, yep that is haribo, there is an explosion of flavours, what sort of
explosion bit of a spank, bit of heat, a bit of a car accident, um that is it the Ashens
car accident sandwich we should patent that, available from all good supermarkets soon.
There is something sort of spicy and vaguely chilli in here, I would say spices of some
type, yes there are some scotch bonnet chillies in there, one of the strongest chillies out
there, but there are stronger ones available, is there more of a citrus vibe, well I got
a hint of whatever meat it is, there is no meat, oh there is nuts, get some nuts, that
is a hint, there is a hint of nut for sure, you have got haribo, horseradish, snickers,
no I had not picked up on that, that is your nuts, ah I see, raw chillies, I can smell
the snickers actually that is my Mr T nostrils coming out, scotch bonnet chillies and some
lemon curd, oh lemon curd, that is the other sweetness, I would never have picked up on
the lemon curd, why am I still eating it?
Haha just casually taking another bite of this horror sandwich, sat on a park bench
in Hyde park London now nibbling away, I chose my numbers so well, you did in fact, I was
worried that you may have gone for the sardines at the end, the straight six to ten on the
list.
I so nearly did, I so nearly went on the straight six to ten and I thought no I am going to
change it for the one.
I did sort of seal this one with parcel tape for freshness, I could smell it on the train
it was emitting from my bag which was also enclosed with a zip, first class for you ladies
and gentlemen, oh god almighty Barry that looks like something you have dredged out
of a corpse, it has all merged together as one.
Let me sniff your sandwich, oh it just smells of sardines I quite like sardines, do you?
I can smell the feet of the blue cheese.
Oh man that is a big bite, oh wow, I must finish it, haha you face looks worse than
when we did the baby food, it is the cheese, oh I have to try some now, I may not take
as big a bite as you I will admit that.
Got a little bit of bacon then that is alright, yep bacon, oh some real saltiness that must
be the sardines and the marmite, but riding through all of it is that cheese, I cannot
do blue cheese, do you know I think I got quite a good bite of that, I did not mind
it too much, it was the chocolate that put me off at the start, it was the weird combination
of that and the sardines.
Oh I am going to, excuse me, do you know I think I like that more than mine.
Oh I am going to have to bail I will not drink my drink as it has now become a refuse pot
for the sandwiches, the bacon was nice real saltiness in there, the saltiness of that
and the sardines.
Good bacon actually, yeah I cooked those smoked rashers especially for us, the blue cheese
combo with the marmite just did not do it for me, so I think we can declare Stuart the
official winner, oh, oh god, go one, cleanse your pallet, oh god that is really weird,
it is odd, yeah weird and a tutti fruity look with the different colour effects on there.
It is a visually appealing one I am not so sure it is tastebud pleasing, oh crikey I
think I bit into a snickers nut and the seed of a chilli at the same time!
Perfect that is why they never put chillies in snickers, yet!
You would be surprised, we should patent that, chilli snickers, oh wow, so there we are then
folks I think we can declare stuart the winner of this sandwich challenge, two epic sandwiches
made coming to shelves near you soon right, yes however those shelves will be in the bins,
if you head over to Ahens channel now you will see the other collaboration video we
have done today for you.
