British Food Taste Test ft SORTEDfood In a delightful episode of Good Mythical Morning (GMM), the dynamic duo Rhett and Link invited the talented SORTEDfood team, Barry and Jamie, to explore the quirky world of British cuisine. The video centers on tasting and guessing whether various uniquely named dishes are real or fabricated. The episode kicks off with a humorous introduction, highlighting the difference in culinary culture between the UK and the US. Barry and Jamie introduce some truly unusual British foods, some familiar and others downright bizarre. Throughout the contest, Rhett and Link play a game where they must determine if each dish is authentic or a clever hoax, with a humorous stake — the loser must consume a spoonful of Marmite, a notoriously polarizing British spread.
