- What is the best cheese sandwich you've ever had? James May sets out to find the answer to which is better - Red Leicester or Cheddar. Welcome to the 1970s...
Here's the cheese grater we used: amzn.to/2E20eRO
For those of you asking about the cheese grater we used, here it is: amzn.to/2E20eRO
James May is getting pretty excited over cheese sandwiches, he is in fact a national treasure this video confirms.
edit: the weird grater part is for slices I know because I live in the Netherlands and we call them cheese shavers. Useful things those. Also who doesn't like cheese? Please notify james of the use of the weird part.

I am strangely in love with these videos.

Many years back we all used to say we'd rather watch James may do normal things like eat a sandwich than watch the new top gear.
Now we are actually doing that lol
I actually didn't mind the last version of TG, the one with Chris, Paddy and Freddie. It wasn't the trio's TG but it was decent enough. This sandwich making is better though, there's no denying that.
This is still better than new top gear!
@Debra Shepherd Purely for my own curiousity but which version of new TG? There's been a few, three I think.
According to my TV mag, The Grand Tour should be back on in a week or two. Woo-hoo!
Agreed haha

Another dimension where everyone is James May
I want to visit that place
I see this as an absolute win
Its kinda... Comforting

I love that the option to skip to highlight directly skips to "Cheese."
It’s amazing how James May spending 15 minutes making 2 cheese sandwiches is more entertaining than almost everything else

I love that this is literally a video about cheese sandwiches but James may makes it extremely entertaining.
My man spent about 15 minutes making a couple sandwiches, and I don’t regret sitting here for all of it
I love how the video is 15 minutes long and that doesn't even include the speeding up. It actually took James 20 minutes to make two sandwiches and I watched it
There's a reason he's Captain Slow

Well, that is if you were relevant. No offense, but average people like us would be pretty much useless once we hit 50s
CHEESE
~cheese~
He's not strange at all...I find him totally relevant...not like soppy lucy.
It can't be forgotten that the 'way up' you eat the sandwich determines which flavour (cheese or pickle) is tasted first and most strongly.
This is why I employ different techniques for eating sarnies.
I often half toast (only toast one side) of bread, which results in (when using multiple flavours) numerous combinations of taste and texture, which sometimes dramatically alter the perception of the taste of the food.
My personal favourite flavour combination is a Marmite and Golden Syrup sandwich, with all the variations of crispy sides together, apart, up and down.
This results in sweet and sour sarnies with crunch, softness, a combination etc.
I highly recommend you trying such a taste experiment yourself/ves.
@Joe Lynch oh you need some help? I recommend a mental asylum. Anyway great sandwich recipe Kut.
is everything ok
I don't eat marmite but I'd try your marmite sandwhich
Brilliant. You've taught me something today. I admire the level of thought you've put into making sarnies and I will definitely try out your sarnie recommendation !
Watching this in October 2023. Knowing how this series (and whole concept) evolved gives me great joy, but so does the scrappy, unhinged, slightly feral magic of the early days of the Bugout Bunker Kitchen
My life has come to watching James May make sandwiches and eat them with a friend.
preach
My life is complete
At least I have a good excuse I am laying in bed trying to get over some minor flu like illness.
I would watch James sit quietly in a corner and drink a glass of wine.
Here you go for perspective. ua-cam.com/video/M3PwOoANEpA/v-deo.html
I see Wallace let himself go after Gromit died... Still has the cheese addiction I see.

Underrated comment mate😂😂
But Wallace is bald
James' job in life to represent the average bloke on the telly, relatable, witty. He's laughing all the way to the bank!
There's a doppelganger of James in Westminster Abbey, a statue of abolitionist William Wilberforce! Check it out!
YOU spoiled it for me 😭
This remains one of the most joyous videos ever created. And as a child of the 70s in the US, may I just say how much better life would have been if our cheese came in blocks instead of flat orange slices wrapped in plastic (which also tasted of plastic).
I love how he talks. He speaks very passionately about everything he does, and every sentence is interesting. He clearly is a student of history. Even the seemingly mundane and repetitive is better when he says it.
AND ON TONIGHT'S PROGRAM:
- James tosses a knife block,
- Lucy refuses cheese AND
- Tom eats a sandwich.
Perfection
Ahh somelads understand the sacred culture

Jeez, I heard the theme and Jezza while reading that!
Huzzah! A man of quality!

Kind of video that makes you appreciate the little things in life.
Considering I watched this whole thing without getting distracted I see this as a win for my attention span
I love it when James talks about the year Lurpak was invented - he does it in every video and NEVER gives the same year twice.
1901 for those that cares.
“It was the year 1839. Powdered wigs were still all the rage. And, unbeknownst to the multitudes, a miracle was about to take place. Lurpak Spreadable Butter was born, like Botticelli’s Venus on her clam shell.”
*OFTEN
He does that sort of thing all the time. It's my favorite thing about him 😂 he did a different video with the whopper versus the impossible whopper and said it was from Wendy's. I just accepted it at first and then I was like "wait a minute....."
@@andreasottohansen7338 you just saved me 30 seconds of googling. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot but upon our death beds I think we’ll all wish for an extra 30 seconds of life. And you just gave it to me. Thankyou kind sir or madam.
Think about it: This is some viewer's first time watching James May, and they are completely clueless as to why someone would watch this.
That is so funny
Tyvek Homewrap tbh I’m wondering why I’m watching it!
*raises hand* as an American I'm completely lost, but I am curious.
This is my first time. Have no idea who James May is or what Red Lester is/tastes like, but I'm fascinated. I also never heard the term "sarnies" before. I'm planning to do a good amount of googling after this video ends!
Edit: Apparently it's spelled "Leicester," not "Lester," and looks like the Brits often call sandwiches either sarnies or butties.
Felicia did you also come across the magic that was top gear and then the grand tour in your googling? James also has a new travel show in Japan which looks great
James May's voice is so great I could listen to him talking about what he had for lunch for 15 minutes and 27 seconds.
James’ energy is so relatable. It lends itself to compelling viewing.
James may is the only human in the whole world that you can sit through a 15 minute video of him making & eating a sandwich without getting bored.
True then I made one (cheddar)
yes
Funny thing is, I don't feel like its 15 minutes long until I read your comment and checked the UA-cam slider.
I got bored but still enjoyed the video
Lies. Clarkson too.
This is the most low budget studio ever used by professionals.
Thats because its James May's emergency bunker, and not a studio.
Probably the most expensive bunker with all the exotic cars and bikes
He didn't even shave
Why do you need an expensive studio for? That's a waste of money. You're on Drivetribe, not AD.
@@NicoLReino People tend not to shave when they are growing a beard. That's just the way it is.
To this day it still amazes me that he takes more than 10 minutes to make 2 sandwiches 😂
And that is with a pause and a fast forward 😂
I know this video is a year old but there is something so spectacular about watching James May make food its so peaceful
James is the most and least interesting man in existence he will tell you so many things and also nothing at the same time
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Its like air. So much gasses, we got argon, xenon, helium, carbondioxide, nitrogen gas and so on. Yet we only breathe oxygen. So much stuff, so little treasure
@@mr.obvious4810 a better way to put it- you breathe in all kinds of gases, but not all of them are necessary for survival.
I would watch this man read the back of a shampoo bottle.
You literally will be doing soon, the way things are going
But there is no way you'll watch it till he finishes reading, you'll die
But you only ever read the back of a shampoo bottle when you're on the toilet and, frankly, I'm not sure I want to see James May on the toilet.
😁
"Back in the 70's we didn't have Parfums, we had spreadable butter"
I love the part about saying how clean his hands are right after picking up the knife block and depositing it in the trash bin. Then farther along the scratching of the eyebrows, the brushing of hands on backside, the handling of the camera, the bits of cheese into the mouth,...well, you get the picture.
I did learn about Branston's pickle which I am eager to try. My 70's sandwich was braunschweiger, mayonnaise and sweet pickle. I am thinking of trying that with Branston's pickle.
I could listen to this man forever 👌
If you like bread, butter, cheese, and pickles, and like to romanticize it for 15 minutes . You are older than a Ford Model T.
i guess im not actually 16 then
Hey Ml :) Love your videos dude!
I like all of them except from the pickles
@@sean6992 I grew into it personally

You cheeky bastard, here, take your like.
But he cooks better than he looks.

This is great and so calming to watch
the birth of an absolutely legendary meme
I'm not English, was not alive in the 70s, and have no idea what Branston Pickle or Red Leicester taste like, yet I watched this video till the end and was thoroughly entertained by it
@@off-brandminion2656 So, it's like an aged red cheddar, got it
@@failedabortion1894 Branston pickle is like chutney

"My hands are very clean, I even have the sani-wipes."

James May is the only person in the multiverse who can bring up the battle of Britain while spreading butter on a piece of bread
Actually, it's a line from the movie "Battle of Britain".
So the battle of britain? Your comment is null and void

I had one of these rotary cheese beaters as a child and every time I got a small end piece like James at 6:34 I would always eat it!
I could watch this man hours doing literally anything
I'm cracking up that the only difference between the two sandwiches is the cheese and then May, seemingly serious, uses a piece of cheese to "cleanse the pallet."
Exactly 😂😂😂
Also quite funny is comparing Cheddar and red Leicester, with not a single word about how mature (or not) the Cheddar is.
Spoiled myself by reading through the comments
I'm sure we used to get Edam too. It tasted metallic.
I'd love to see Clarkson do this. "There was a small fire."

did anyone complain to you? did you eat the food he makes? no!! then shut up if you can please.
He also wiped them on his pants at one point, I wonder how many disgusting places he's sat down in those...

It's so different seeing James outside of Top gear
"my hands are clean"
*scratches head*
*grabs cheese*
The historic land of the plague... thereby head scratching still considered a sanitary move.
I liked the part where he put his finger tip in his mouth. Real sanitary there, James.
My nan, god bless her, says the same thing when she hands me something she’s cooked for me 😂
And throws the wooden knife block in the bin then wipes his hand on the arse of his pants. Actually, James Martin did exactly the same thing on his Saturday (or Sunday. Not sure) morning cooking programme and then wiped BOTH his hands on the arse part of his parts. The filthy beast! James Martin should know better. James May can get away with such trivial matters.
“Would you like a piece?” James proclaimed as he handed a half a sandwich with the slightest sliver of hair on the bottom of the sandwich. “It’s rather good”
I just watched a 15 minute video of James May making a sandwich.

@@szymongorczynski7621 Only if you're a cat and you don't like baths.
**Wipes hands together and grabs bock of cheese**
@ZappoTan Plastic gloves are mostly placebo. It doesnt help a bit to wear plastic gloves if you lick your fingers when cooking. Also they make you not feel the need to wash your hands as often, and as most people dont change the gloves often enough they end up filthy. Washed hands are just as clean as new plastic gloves. Washed hands are a lot cleaner than used plastic gloves.
@ZappoTan Nurses have to deal with not getting contaminated blood or other stuff on their hands. Completely different ballgame. Subway workers use gloves, but they take care to change them all the time. They dont want to be washing their hands every time they use the cash register after making a sandwich. Gloves have their place, but for preparing food washed hands are usually as good if not better than gloves. As I said, people tend to not change the gloves as often as they would wash their hands because you lose the feeling of having something on your hands.
