May's starting to look like a chemistry professor
Asda Richard Dawkins
Looks can be deceiving..🤣
@@idk-lz4nl true I think that transformation began YEARS ago.
Look like that one professor from Hogwarts, what was her name again?
You said it best.
Never did I think I would want to watch James may argue about ketchup
I would watch James review a microwave for three hours. Same goes for Doug DeMuro.
Deep down inside, I knew it was inevitable.
neither have i, yet here we are
The depths we have sunk to thanks to Covid and lockdown...!
you should see him unbox car
James has a picture from Kiki's Delivery Service.
Man of culture.
So pleased to see that.
what is Kiki's etc ?
@@clockwork9827 a classic anime movie that was popular enough for me to have seen it in my childhood before I even knew what anime was
an icon😩
If you’re the daughter of a chef and end up with dry turkey, then that’s just tragic. Gotta agree with Mr May on this one.
The standard to call yourself a chef in the UK is quite low.
Yeah totally surprised about that, that guy needs to be named and shamed
To be fair, there's basically no chance of a moist turkey if you roast it whole. It's too big and light and dark meats should be cooked to different temperatures anyway.
James Westbury I’ve never had a problem roasting a whole turkey. Always been moist...
I’ve never had moist turkey. Always dry. Always terrible.

That's the FIRST thing I noticed when I fired up this video!

Next up on May's Kitchen: Ketchup on spam
that would be normal
HP sauce on spam is amazing
Stone-ground creole or deli-style mustard goes on everything.
Steak, burgers, fries, chicken, turkey, fish.
@@ijc1958 spam is horrible. Really salty and a weird texture. Tried it for the first time this year and it was horrible
@@JohnWick-stardawg did you make spam fritters?
Bim is off the chain...but he’s right.
Rachael, don’t talk about this in public ever again.
this was less crazy han his defense of tea over coffee
James is like a sensitive radio tuned into the England I left in the late sixties.
this is entertainment in its purest form
I agree with James..
That's what happened to Helena Rubenstien!
me too
I mean who isn't agreeing with James? Ketchup on roast dinner sounds vile.
Only May can make a discussion about Ketchup worth watching.
That's the man that also made an audiobook Abt fixing a watch/clock😆😆😆😆
James May can make anything worth watching. I once watched him and Hammond attempting to assemble some piece of lego for an hour and a half :D
If only people argued like this in you tube comment sections the world may actually be a happier place
Is that a frame from Kiki's Delivery Service?
Yes
Aye, an original CEL from the animation reel. The bloke is truly a man of culture. ^^
indeed it is.
Now I want to hear James May talk about his favorite anime! :o
Love these two. Not a huge fan of ketchup... Unless I'm having it with chips/fries
Ketchup on a roast is just wrong on every level period
Its very working class. Ketchup on everything, that is. Roast Beef, or a cheap thin overdone steak...
@@preciousroihomeshoppingnet7908 it’s not about class mate, it’s just wrong
On the roast, yes; on the roast potatoes, no. Yummy 😋
I'm American and even I agree!
People! There are some things in life you just must not do!!! This being 1 of them
World: Coronavirus
James May: Ketchup
Absolutely. This is the right way to ignore that nonsense in the whole world
"Plenty of it", as they used to say in 'Battle of Britain'.
@JC de Frontenac 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
@JC de Frontenac Are you talking to me?
Plenty of it. Flood the cowling!!
salmonline You beat me to it!
This an argument I’ve had.......& I’m still single. Ketchup has no place on a roast dinner.
definitely has a place on it... but not on christmas
@@jordanlazarus7345 If it's leftovers and it's gotten to that stage it tastes a bit gamey maybe. To overpower the gamey taste if you don't want to throw it away I might do it.
Mr May’s reaction to this topic alone is the soul reason to watch this. Utter legend. Just for the record I do think that Ketchup does have its place but I would have to question the sanity of the person who would put ketchup on a roast dinner. Still just goes to show you what I know.
I would love james may to do a segment where he just argues with people. It would be entertaining and educational
I second this!
hasn't he done that on top gear for decades?
Still better than new Top Gear
And Grand Tour
@@tipperary1082 no grand tour is great
@@williamg209two Too scripted for my liking but each to their own I suppose
@@tipperary1082 the last couple series of top gear with Clarkson was scripted you donut, he even admitted he kinda wanted to end it cause of that
@@williamg209two I wasn't a fan of the later series either. That ambulance challenge was a final nail in the coffin.
Christmas dinner for me has always been belly pork, chicken or beef. Tomato ketchup shouldn't be anywhere near a roast, gravy, horseradish or mustard is the way forward. Gravy is a MUST.
Our family tradition has always been Turkey on Christmas Day, roast beef 'n' Yorkshire Pudding on Boxing Day. No ketchup in sight.
You forgot Duck and Rabbit, those are traditional foods for the 25. and 26. of Christmas. On the 24th you can have everything you want but it's mostly those three you are described.
@but ton Lashings of it, flood the cowling.
Paladin Smith now you talking.
@@caw25sha in my family we have far too much food to ever want another roast on Boxing Day. Big roast for lunch with Christmas pudding for dessert, then in the evening we'd have cold cuts of ham and turkey with all kinds of sides and trifle for dessert, and then around 10-11pm the sides would be passed around again, and cakes and far too much. It's caused by a tradition of having the immediate family lunch and an extended family evening party.

He's not?
@@pohldriver Of course he isn't! Everyone knows he's from the 1860s.
That's pretty mean, Rachel doesn't look that old, or like a man. She just has some bad opinions on food.
James my man, you have just gone and set the record straight for us guys who just can't stand ketchup on nicely cooked meat... Love it... Stay safe 😉👍🏼
Gotta agree with James here. I put ketchup on burgers/hotdogs, fries (as a dip), and mac & cheese. That's it. Ketchup on roast beef or whatever? No thanks. EDIT: Clearly this ketchup debate goes DEEPER
You're nuts for ketchup on mac & cheese mate!
Barbeque sauce goes on mac & cheese, not ketchup
@@troymann8892 You can put whatever you want on Mac & Cheese. It's not a classy meal lol. Add a for additional flavour to your taste, add for additional substance, and there you go. Cheap and easy.
I dip grilled cheese in ketchup. Doesn't belong on a hot dog though.
Mac and cheese! Seems this is a crazy topic 😝
No to ketchup on a roast but a huge yes to ketchup on fish and chips. Absolute must!
As an American, I cannot think of a time I heard a Brit refer to ‘brown sauce’ and been 100% certain what they were speaking of.
@Roger Dodger thanks, now I know what brown sauce is haha. I call it steak sauce.
HP sauce.............fantastic stuff.
I really am enjoying your culinary debates!
english people discussing food is a bit like us germans discussing humour XD
Underrated comment.
Do germans know what humour is
@@jpw1490 yes. They just see it as an unnecessary frivolity.
😁😁😁
schweinetaktik81 yeah got to keep those 75 year old stereotypes alive🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Nice photo of kiki and tombo on that frame.
I would be not suprised if it was og cel
@@Hikikomori34 I mean, c'mon it's James May we are taking about. It's probably an Original cell.
My brother used to put ketchup on literally everything, and he still does, he puts ketchup on shrimp dishes too and on bacon and eggs, he's 28
There's nothing wrong with ketchup on bacon and eggs. They have bacon egg and cheese sandwiches with ketchup.
Ketchup on Macaroni and Cheese is a game changer!
"A bit pleb" coming from the man that showed us how to create crisp sandwiches.
@Luke Weedon True, but you'd need to be some kind of special to not be able to determine how to make a chip sandwich on your own.
1:34 ketchup definitely goes on anything form McDonalds because the burgers are so dry it’s like chewing a tyre with out some sauce
I audibly laughed at this
😂
"You put salt and vinegar--lemon juice if you're being posh--and dip your chips in curry sauce."
Chisel it on granite in the town square, James speaks truth.
I use a little soy sauce on fish and chips myself, and a tiny scatter of chilli flakes on the chips.
No tartar sauce?
@@SimonWoodburyForget They're british so their "chips" are our "fries" that might be where you got confused. unless you are dipping fries into salsa all the time...
@@SimonWoodburyForget Chips aren't crispy. They're thick and soft.
@@SimonWoodburyForget Chips aren't crispy.
I rented a room to a woman once who would eat a bowl of ketchup with her fingers in the morning and use her pajamas as a napkin. That was great.
That made my stomach churn
I have dipped breaded fish in ketchup, usually if I run out of tarter sauce.
"... I actually vomited in the pub, so maybe that's what you should do."
James nails it, it's all about the sugar. Take the sugar out of many things and people stop liking them, because they have become 'addicted' to sugar, conversely add sugar (like in Ketchup) and people start to like foods they normally hate. Boil your sprouts with a tablespoon of sugar and watch kids gobble them up. If kids are not weaned off sugar when they are young, it can take ages to resolve, and adds greatly to poor health later.
its funny enough with James May... Imagine this conversation with Gordon Ramsay!
Ketchup is for fried potatoes in any form, burgers, meatloaf & nothing more.
Definitely team James here. I'm a northerner and I wouldn't slather everything in ketchup. Henderson's Relish perhaps (a Sheffield thing)
What an episode, loved every single minute of it.
“Pleb Ketchup” .... i see a new T-shirt coming🤭
Ah! Now the move away from cars makes sense. This is a great little vid because your both totally natural in it 👍
As a child I ate everything with ketchup.
On vacation at an all-inclusive resort I had macaroni with ketchup every day.
My grandparents broadened my mind eventually, when we went hiking in the Polish mountains for a month and there was no ketchup.
When I was a child I used to eat bread and cheese with ketchup.
I still do, and I’m pushing 60, so 😝ppppvvvvffftttttttt!!!
Yes!
nice
Love James's little Kiki picture.
Don't buy those heinz ice cream kits, basically £15 and all you get is a container, an ice cream scoop and a recipe inside of a box. Have to buy the ingredients yourself. Watch the ashens salad cream video.
I've got an ice cream maker and after a time carefully following recipes to the letter I realised you just need to make the basic mixture with egg, cream and sugar, and then chuck in anything else you want.
@@caw25sha you dont even have to do this watch will it soft serve
I would not have expected to see kiki's delivery service on the wall.
With regards to James' argument at 2:30, here in the States we have something called creamed corn in which you do put sugar and milk (and cream) on corn kernels and its f-ing delicious, especially with brisket thats been smoked for 14 hours.
According to my lovely parents, when I was the age of 3 on holiday in a posh hotel in the Isle of Wight, I asked for ketchup on my cornflakes. Sadly this gourmet request was denied.
I'm a ketchup lover. Defo on fish. But cornflakes!!!!! What was I thinking?? 🤦🏼♂️😋
I'm with James on this one, we should leave ketchup to the yankees, it's way too sugary and sweet.. mustard, horseradish, tartare sauce, Branston pickle etc. are so much more suited to old world cuisines, even chips are better with mayo as any Belgian would tell you. And they invented the stuff, so they should know
I think Mayonaise is technically Spanish from Mahon in Menorca to be specific - hence the name
@@tusker4954 Oh, yes certainly, I was refering to chips being Belgian ;)
No self respecting yankee will ever put ketchup on roast beef or turkey. Gravy only. (Maybe A1 or as I think you brits call it Brown sauce? on a roast beef.)
The ketchup sold in the UK is significantly sweeter than that sold in the US.
@@WanJae42 All the more reason to avoid it. Sugars can mask the flavors of the meat. Particularly if its turkey breast.
I'm definitely with James May on this.
“Go easy on the tomato sauce! Save some for desert..”
I don't ever have gravy on a roast dinner. My roast consists of roast potatoes, Yorkshires, peas, raw carrots chicken or turkey and salad cream!
A Sunday roast with tomato sauce, no no no no no. Sorry Rachel, you’ve lost that one.
THANK YOU!! "Tomato sauce", NOT """"""ketchup""""" (???).
I suppose one could make a sauce that included a tablespoon of ketchup that would go with a Sunday roast.
Sorry Rachael, James is right. (Though I was a bit startled by an IVF clinic advert right in the middle of him making his point...food ads might be better...)

Yes i just came home to watch and listen to James May argue about Ketchup my life
Kiki's Delivery Service on the wall! James is a man of multitudes.
Gravy woman!!! Not to mention it’s tomato sauce, not ketchup
No because tomato sauce can be anything with tomatoes in it🤦♂️
It’s “ketchup” or “tomato ketchup”
@@fazza2104 Isn't "tomato ketchup" redundant? I've never heard of ketchup being made from anything else besides tomatoes.
It went from commentary, to opinions, to signs of addiction, and ended with an intervention. I hope she can get the help that she needs.
James may: "are you four years old"
Also James may: "I like fish fingers, chips and beans" 🤦😂
From the time I spent in the UK, I noticed that Heinz ketchup is a bit sweeter there than here in the US. I did a bit of research on it after I got back and Heinz had stated that they sometimes change their recipe slightly for different countries to accommodate local tastes.
Here in the US (or at least my part of it), ketchup goes with many (if not most) fried foods -- fried potatoes, fried fish, fried oysters, hash browns, boiled shrimp (although with horseradish mixed with the ketchup), country fried / chicken fried steak, fried chicken, etc... Many people put it on roast beef and steak -- I used to, but these days I'm more likely to use A-1 sauce... One of the strange things that I encountered in the UK was at a Chinese restaurant where they asked me whether I wanted rice or "chips" (traditionally called "french fries" in the US) with dish that I had ordered. Apparently over there, many people actually put the Chinese dishes over fried potatoes instead of over rice...
I put ketchup on battered fish and chips also alternatively BBQ sauce.
That’s illegal
NO KETCHUP ON ROAST LOVE, ONLY GRAVY
Was that a Kiki's delivery service animation cel behind James? I couldn't stop staring at it the whole time.
It sure is.
if the roast is dry or slightly burned, plenty of it.
Brown sauce is basically tomato ketchup with 2 main added ingredients: Molasses and tamarind paste. These are the components which make it brown and change the flavour. Molasses add the taste of dark brown sugar, tamarind adds a slightly exotic fruitiness.
Neither tomato ketchup or brown sauce belong on roast dinners though, nor on fish, with a couple of exceptions: Ketchup is just about ok with fish fingers, and brown sauce goes amazingly well with smoked mackerel fillets.
Imagine preparing a very special piece of beef, marinating it, smoking it throughout the day, and then have some barbarian eat it with ketchup! Disrespectful and a disgrace!
Correct. Even us Americans know better than to do this. Hot dogs, burgers, fried fish are perfectly acceptable. Roasts, briskets, and especially turkey, absolutely not.
Sounds like something Trump would do.
Don't you mean Barbarian?
I remember an embarrassing time years ago when I and an acquaintance went to a steak house for dinner. He ordered an expensive cut and when the waiter brought it, he asked for ketchup. The look on the waiter's face said it all.
@@dlittlester My father is s master at steaks and taught me everything i know about preparing meat. If i ever..hed possibly disown me.
I put salad cream on chips and coleslaw on pizza so Rachael can do whatever works for her. At least she's putting it on something more interesting than chicken nuggets.
Never mind the discussion, I'm more interested in the fact that James has a "Kiki's Delivery Service" (classic Japanese anime film from Studio Ghibli. Great movie btw) picture in the background! I wanna know more about this! Also, his Mount Fuji (Japan's famous mountain) shirt, which also has "Suzuki" written in Japanese katakana above it. Yes, I'm into Japan stuff.
Tomato ketchup to dip fries in(I know, chips) and as a base for homemade bbq sauce.That's it.
Ketchup on roast chicken sounds down right gross.
And on beef sounds like gravy will do the job fine
When I was young, I used ketchup to mask flavours I didn't like. I'd smother peas in it and swallow them without chewing.
Now, I don't eat ketchup on anything. And I love peas.
tomato sauce on roast potatoes is amazing and in New Zealand tomato sauce on fish ( fish and chips) is very normal.
Where's the Ketchup on a Hot Dog argument? That's the real battle.
I seriously want to know where James got that Mount Fuji T-shirt as I really want one...
It's a Suzuki Heritage Range shirt, celebrating 1953 Mount Fuji Hill climb
Ketchup on a roast!!! Heresy
No way it gravy with Roast always
When we used to have a cooked dinner with my late father in law we used to have a fried egg on top (after gravy). It was wonderful.
Ketchup goes on burgers, fries, and DEBATABLY hot dogs. That's it.
Ofcourse you have tomato sauce with fish and chips! James has gone mad
What. I could possibly accept ketchup on the chips (not the fish) if you really like ketchup but no, you have salt and vinegar on fish and chips. Everyone has salt and vinegar on fish and chips. Maybe a squeeze of lemon.
@@SimonWoodburyForget Common where? Salt and vinegar is the premiere toppingfor fish and chips, and doesn't make it too salty so idk what you're talking about.
@@SimonWoodburyForget You can repeat the same things but it just makes me think you've never eaten fish and chips. Acidity is the name of vinegar's game, and lemon too, I don't know why you think ketchup is needed for acidity. Fish and chips isn't meant to be a sweet dish, not everything has to be sweet. You can theorycraft all day, fish and chips with salt and vinegar is a time honoured classic for a reason.
@@SimonWoodburyForget Tomato ketchup is sweet. There is a difference between having some basic degree of sweetness, and being sweet. The sweetness is exactly why I wouldn't put ketchup on a nice bit of fish and chips. But that's just a preference because I (and I think most other people) aren't looking for their fish and chips to be sweet. However on a more objective note Ketchup has a very strong taste, it (like many sauces) was often used to mask the flavour of substandard meats during times of need, a nice piece of battered cod is a relatively mild tasting, delicate piece of fish. You dollop ketchup on a properly made fish and chips and you've ruined it. You might as well be eating fish fingers at that point, the ketchup is the dominating flavour.
You can talk as if you have some special knowledge and that everybody doesn't already know the things you just said, you're failing to grapple with the actual point that putting ketchup on fish and chips fish is not something that people generally do, and not something serious foodies do. Again, I'm not even saying you can't have ketchup with fish and chips, but more of a side to the chips (a thin layer on the end of a chip with a mouthful of fish makes it far less overpowering).
Im with you James, shes a philestine, but a pretty one.
*I'm *she's
You've gone full Partridge there. haha.
@kendavies How embarrassing that you couldn't even spell philistine.
The argument was won by James when Racheal said "I've gotten better with it over the years' ... this proves she is trying to defend a position she herself admits she's trying to change...
I'm not a fan of gravy.
Roast lamb - mint sauce
Roast beef - horseradish
Roast chicken - it's usually greasy enough not to need anything but in a pinch, mayonnaise.
Roast turkey - cranberry sauce.
For James's attention, in Japan, spaghetti is usually made with a sauce made from tomato ketchup. He might know that but didn't mention it.
I feel like there’s a lede that’s been buried here. Bread sauce? You’ve turned bread into a condiment? At least there’s juice in a tomato!
There's juice in bread sauce, it's milk, flavoured with an onion and some cloves. Having said that, although it is traditional at Christmas, probably some old way of dealing with stale bread, I can't really see the point of it.
Ketchup and salad cream are both abominations: too much sugar. Consider making pastries with each of them.
When I was a kid my sister used to put apple sauce on everything. Not just roast pork, any type of roast.
For my part I only like a very small amount of gravy and (for preference) on the side of my roast meat rather than on it or my potatoes or yorkshire puddings.
When the kids join the adult table'' ill have ketchup on that roast beef! and Yorkshire pudding''?? argh society is so lost these days ....
And she writes about and has a career in food?
I'm glad James has lost the extra weight he put on a while ago
@Fairfields And probably the Mc D
Next debate: Ketchup on chips vs next to them as a dip.
No debate there at all. Have it your way. My wife likes the dip. I don't.
@@dlittlester obviously you should have it your way but some people do seem to get heated on this subject haha.. i like to dip myself so i get consistent chip-ketchup ratios.
Ketchup and beef are a natural fit, and I think this ought to be a “thing” in an upcoming bunker episode. Steak/Roast Beef and Ketchup Challenge.
Defo No tomato sauce on roast dinners its make me feel ill thinking about
I'm with Rachael when it comes to sprouts and bread sauce, vile simply vile.
One of the things that makes the debate even funnier, is the difference in what is defined as ‘ketchup’ between the UK, the US, and for me, Australia. What we call tomato sauce is Ketchup for US Americans, but is sweeter and lacks the more vinegar-y flavour of ketchup.
That said, my limit is not mixing ketchup/tomato sauce and gravy, and not on fish.
If you like it, then do it. Everything goes on anything aslong as you like it
Jørgen Ramdahl sounds like gravy envy.
Rachael - I respect your tastes in food, everyone has their own foibles and idiosyncrisies - but in this instance you are WRONG !!
The ultimate sacrilege is putting ketchup on a hot dog, and I've seen you Brits do it.
As a proud Chicagoan, i emphatically agree!!.
Better than America mustard, that isn't even mustard, that's yellow mayonnaise! Try Colemans then get back to me
