Well, howdy. How are you? We are Sorted Food. This is fridge cam. Today, we are going to
level up this bad boy. Daw! Yeah. That pathetic
little sandwich you used to get in your lunch box. And the best thing is we've
got the whole of London to explore and find the single
best ingredients that we can. We thought the best
way to level up a ham sandwich was
to break it down into all its
possible components. We then looked at
the flavor profiles of each of these
components and put together a hypothetical
combination of ingredients that provided a balance of
sweet, salty, fatty, creamy, and where we could
best add texture. And we were really happy
with what we came up with. That's a good sandwich. It's going to be
a great sandwich. But, like I said, it
was also hypothetical. Stage one was to actually
buy some ingredients. We decided to divide,
command, and conquer. I was in charge of
bread and all the hams, and Baz in charge
of fresh stuff. Change of plan. Our ham sandwich is now
going to have cheese in it, because I found
a cheesemonger's. I thought I'd better give Baz
a call to give him a heads up. [PHONE RINGING] Hey, mate. Hey, how's it going? Just thought I'd let you know. Yeah. I bought some cheese. Um, it's a ham
sandwich we're making. Yeah, but what if I told you
it was really good manchego cheese? It's beside the point. It's literally just
a ham sandwich. Right. Look. I'm going to go get the ham. I'll get the bread. What are you on? Does rosemary go with aioli? Uh, yeah? Obviously, I got a banging
sourdough loaf and all the ham. Let me tell you about my ham. I got prosciutto cotto. It's smooth. It's fatty. I got coppa, which
is a cured, salty-- it's a bit smoky. I got mortadella,
which is spicy, and it has pistachios in it,
and some people might actually call it a sausage,
but never mind. It's great ham. Between us, we seem to have
now got everything on our list. Now we just had to make it,
and it actually had to be good. [MUSIC PLAYING] What are we doing again? We have all of our
ingredients now. So next up-- Make a sandwich? Yeah. Make a sandwich. Yeah. Yeah. What are you going
to be in charge of? Oh. I'm going to make the aioli. You make the aioli. I'll cut the bread. Keep it thick. Yeah. Thick bread. For the aioli-- aioli-- I never learned to
say it properly-- I'm going for egg
yolks, garlic, rosemary, a squeeze of lemon
juice, lemon zest, and a little hint of Dijon
mustard, bare black pepper. Now, slowly add
in your olive oil. Have you added mustard yet? Not yet. All right. Go for it. How much? Just a dollop. Not too much, because
it's hot stuff. Jay, what are you doing, mate? I found a griddle
pan so that we can toast the outside of our bread. I managed to get a knife. Well done. Congratulations. The hardest thing in the world. How big do you
want your sandwich? I mean, do we want
this way, or-- What about that? Ah, diagonal. I've cut all the bread. How many sandwiches you making? Two or three. The way to never
have a ham sandwich is make six ham sandwiches. I'm toasting the
outside of our bread so we get amazing grill lines,
and it looks incredible. But the inside stays
soft and fluffy. So I've made an aioli. You've made toast. I'm making half toast, to
be precise, because you only want the outside toasted. Pow! Mate! That's it. That's it. [INAUDIBLE] Right construction. Salted butter, garlic
and rosemary aioli, fresh tomatoes, prosciutto,
mortadella, coppa, manchego cheese,
which, also, we melted, and it made it a really nutty. Crisp little gem lettuce, lid. We were happy, but
that wasn't enough. Would it impress our chefs,
Bowser and Dr. Egg Man? What do you think? It looks good. Epic. We had a tough job, but
I think we nailed it. Now it's up to you to work
out whether or not this is a level up or game over. The bread. It's not overfilled. I thought it might
be overfilled, but-- Nah. Enough ham? Right. We could have got more. Could have got more. You are so right the
cheese choice, as well, because that is-- Nutty. Funky. The char, though, on that bread. I can see that you spent at
least 20 minutes doing that. I honestly did. All in all, some people
say sammies are boring. That is the kind of sandwich
you want and you look forward to and you enjoy. I'm impressed. The success of this is down
to well-selected, quality ingredients, and they're not
trying to do too much with it. I would we've kind of gone
to the extreme in terms of leveling up a ham
sandwich, but to be honest, you could take any one of those
elements and apply it to any sandwich-- the charring
or the homemade mayo, something like that-- and take your sandwich to
that level, which I suppose does leave us with
the big question. Have we taken the ham sandwich
a level up, or is it game over? It's not game over. That is delicious. This is definitely a level up. So we've made it
to the next level. You need to tell us
what the next level is going to be and see if we
can go a level up from that. And who the boss should
be who we have to beat. That's obvious. We're the bosses. In what game? Video, real life. Video, real life. Comment below and let
us know what you think we should be leveling up next. We need some really naff
ideas that we can bring up into the 21st century. Now, talking about naff ideas,
you want a dad joke, don't you? Can't get any more
naff than that. How does Lady Gaga like
her vegetables prepared? I don't know, Jamie. How does Lady Gaga like
her vegetables prepared? Raw, raw, raw, raw, raw. Raw, raw-- Nice job, nice job.
