James not being surprised at Lucy not having a monster munch either, it never changes
Not a available in the states except in Brit stores but. Pickled onions is the only flavor that matters!
@@christophersell3497 You spelt Flamin’ Hot wrong 🙃
Im not saying that the ‘marketing director’ (which I believe is somewhat her title) for a food channel has to be a total foodie, but if they don’t even like cheese, maybe keep them behind camera. She’s kind of a useless input since she doesn’t seem to like anything at all
@@timothyferruzza7963 but that's exactly what i like about her.
In Lucy's defence, why would you??
James always has a weird calming effect on me and I love it 😁
watch head squeeze
Her Jesus... Thank you for your suggestion. I never knew. Cheers from Ithaca, New York
@@richardlionheart9371 be blessed my child
My son describes him as the the most interestingly boring man on earth
lol the crew hates him
Pickled Onion Monster Munch is almost radioactive it's so strong 🦠
It's always oddly satisfying when James and Lucy agree with these more unusual "recipes", sandwich or not.
AaarrrggghhhahahahahahahahahahahaAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Get a life
@@smallsherpa2222 get job
Back in the late 80's I was a spotty student in Swansea. I got a summer job at the Smiths factory in Fforestfach and used to make the things. If you held down the little spinny blade that cut the puffed maize as it came through the shaping die you could make one of indefinite length. We used to make them about three yards long and joust with them in a middle-ages stylee.
The Return of the Monster Munch Jedi
top story
I remember when the factory changed hands and walkers moved away. The building doesn't look like its been used since the 80s these days.
@@mikebould5651 Its used by a company that designs/builds shop interiors (I had to look it up) called Inca Creative. So at least the old building is still making stuff.
It's '80s, not 80's.
James throwing Moster Munch in the bin, thats just sacrilegious and to be honest i'm suprised that he would. I love monster munch.
Spread butter on both sides of the bread James you savage
Not during the war! You must be well off
Or Lurpak (invented circa 1899)
That requires twice as much effort. Spread a thicker layer one side to be time efficient
@@lonyo5377 you’re a monster
Yes! There wasn't war in England in 1975.
James, I have a couple sandwiches from my grandparent's past that you may want to try.
1. In the 1950's, my grandmother would pack herself a cream cheese and lettuce sandwich for lunch everyday. This somehow came up in the story of her meeting my grandfather. I've tried it, it's delicious and refreshing!
2. Now, from my grandfather we have a ketchup sandwich. Yes, it's exactly as it sounds. Bread & ketchup. My grandparents were quite poor at times, so the ketchup sandwich was probably made as a cheaper alternative to a tomato sandwich. I don't know when my grandfather started eating them, but my dad recalls him still enjoying them in the 1970's and 80's, even though they could definitely afford tomatoes by then. I have not tried it, as it sounds awful.
Both sandwiches were probably on plain white bread.
Enjoy James!
I grew up with brown sauce sarnies, still like them after more than 50 years!
A ketchup-sandwich is amazing!
I read a book as a child called Molly Moon and ketchup sandwiches were Molly's (the main character's) favourite snack! She carried restaurant ketchup sachets around with her for emergencies.
Ketchup sandwiches are great wym
Ketchup sandwich is basically a bread stick eaten with ketchup. Only that it's just bread.
Originally called "The Prime Monster" released in 1977, renamed "Monster Munch" in 1987, price 7p a bag, Advertised as "The Biggest Snack Pennies Can Buy" Pickled onion is my favorite flavor they are manufactured by Walkers (previously by Smiths).

First introduced on Halloween 2013, and was sold for many Halloween’s afterwards. They were later re-released again by Walkers as simply Wafflers under their Smiths brand.
They were actually renamed Monster Munch in 1978
Thank you Wikipedia
Thanks for this. I know Walkers is Lays but I had no Idea of these crazy UK flavors
Flamin' Hot is the only acceptable flavour.
@@rymarsrs8552 lays acquired walkers in 1989
A sandwich with leftover bolognese sauce and melted cheese. Now that is delicious.
sometimes i just make mince and Bolognese sauce stick it on a sandwich with cheese it doesn't have to be left over
@@acid3129 I have that all the time, we/i call it pizza toast
@@robinburt5735
Or a Bolowich. With lots of butter underneath...hmmm
@@itchy-feet7978 isn't this basically lasagna in bread?
@@richardharrold9736 no
I'm so wounded he combined the different flavours in one sandwich...
same, i simply can not
AND the lack of Flamin' Hot (aka, Monster Munch).
Agree with you totally...sacrilege. The experience would have been better with one or the other. Don't often manage to find Monster Munch out here in NZ, and it was heartbreaking to see him sling the packet, in all its "sharp pickled onion goodness" in the bin. Does the man not like pickles?
I actually thought the flavours would compliment each other... Beef and Onion is a famous combo! The 2 guys liked it at least...
Absolutely
That is outrageous that you threw the Monster Munch out! Living briefly in England when I was a kid, I loved them and was so happy when I found a place near me in New Zealand that sold them!
Unfortunately they've ruined them now. Since they've started baking them instead of frying them, the texture is awful
Holiday sandwich: Turkey, ham, stuffing, on sourdough. Smear gravy on one slice with turkey laid on it. Smear cranberry sauce on the other slice with ham on it. Put the stuffing in between. Heaven.
sourdough? thats too posh for james haha
Yess
Try the Moistmaker from Friends, 3 slices of bread with the middle one soaked in gravy. Recipes can be found on the Binging with Babish channel
Turkey and stuffing sandwiches are very popular and you can get them from late November in all the main supermarkets around Christmas. Common as leftovers on Boxing Day. Delicious. It’s not unusual we have it in the UK.
@@cruachan1191 You ate my sandwich? MY SANDWICH!
Pickled Onion monster munch is one of my all time favorite snack foods when I’m in the UK. Impossible to find in the US, and quite hit or miss to get such a crush-risk snack imported 😅
Amazon has them. You can get three packs of six for like 20 bucks. I just tried it for the first time. I’m not blown away by the flavor but somehow, I’m three bags in and it’s only been an hour since they arrived and I don’t know how that happened.
Every time I watch these videos I picture Jeremy in the background frustrated and rolling his eyes as James rambles on. 😄
I'm gonna laugh if Jeremy Clarkson is the guest appearance 😂
I love Monster Munch because they taste so strong but if you haven't had them before they can be very overpowering
I think you should try to make the king of all sandos, a muffaletta. It's usually made on a round loaf of bread sliced in half with salami, cappicola, and mortadella. Then topped with mozzarella and provolone. Then some creole olive salad is spooned on top along with some pickled pepperoncini peppers, salt, and pepper. Then you close the sando wrap and then cut. It could feed a small army.
You had me - right up until you didn't include Lurpac spreadable butter, invented in 1901. On only 1 side of the bread, of course.
New Orleans native here. Fried shrimp Po boy dressed. Or roast beef po boy dripping with gravy and mynez
@@deanstanley2125 what is Mynez ? sounds great !
@@clockwork9827 mayonnaise. Just how it's pronounced here
I'm so hungry for that now, sounds very yummyyy! :)
Watching May’s reactions and listening to his commentary = priceless
"How the West Was Won" sandwich. This has a mix of mayo and BBQ sauce on one piece of bread, romaine lettuce, pepper jack cheese, chopped grilled bbq chicken cut into strips (cold), sliced red bell pepper, BBQ sauce drizzle (plenty of it flood the cowling). Enjoy.
Does anyone else want to watch James try the fried egg sandwich with chili sauce and chutney from Red Dwarf?
I forgot all about that! And I just got some chili mango chutney. I'm gonna have to try that.
@@stevebriggs6469 Do it! It's delicious, especially if you were drinking the night before haha
I feel like I'm having a baby!!
@@ignatiusnoirant8174 "Yeah, it's well naughty"
Yes he must try it! We tried it, very messy
Very appreciative of James doing the proper thing in the end.
😆 I can't believe James has never had Monster Munch. I'm American and I love Monster Munch!! Ordered a combo bag through Amazon and I'm now addicted to the picked onion flavor.😋
It's very strange that a British person of his generation hasn't had them. Most kids of the 70s were brought up on a diet of Monster Munch, Frazzles and Tizer. Maybe he's a bit too posh.
@@caw25sha Frazzles were great, I would always end up burping bacon flavour for hours afterwards
We used to have monster munch in New Zealand in the 80s and 90s, but not anymore. This was so nostalgic lol
Monster munch pickled onion are amazing
Pickled onion are nice, much better than the beef flavour.
@@Elwaves2925 yeah the beef are rank 😂😂
Well, it's not for James May
Can we get James May to try "foreign" sandwiches?
I'd like to submit Halve Hahn from the cologne region: rye bread roll, pickles, raw onions and *CHEESE!* (usually medium ripe Gouda, but you do you), if you like mustard put some on. This strikes me as something Captain May should like.
@@shootmcrunfast That would not be standard
nice, i suggested something similar .... thinly sliced gouda cheese with lettuce, Rocca, green onion and mango chutney
Make it Limburger cheese, but yes
@@jacobs4594
But very stinky, i thinky..😂
Can't help but feel like this format is starting to grind may's gears, but maybe some other ancient cooking techniques we haven't heard of could be interesting?
Think the problem is that the suggestions aren't so much "try this delicious sandwich" as it is "Lets gross out may as much as we can"..
@@Ctuchik perfect, isn't it
Is there anything involving cameras and other people that doesn’t grind May’s gears?
How to make a Snickers style sandwich. Two slices of white bread, butter, peanut butter (crunchy), chocolate spread, honey (or syrup). Yum Yum!
Monster Munch sandwiches are highly regarded by the Michelin starred chef, Tom Kerridge, as they were a highlight of his childhood growing up in Matson, Gloucester. I'm sure James knows him, so give him a call...
Fluffernutter sandwich. Marshmallow fluff and peanut butter. You've already got the Sun Pat, James.
First rant! Who the heck stores crisps in the fridge! Second rant, what a waste of what was left in the packets when you have 2 people there that actually likes Monster Munch! Monster Munch are awesomeness 😋🤤🥰
I imagine that was for camera and the crisps were rescued from the very-clean barely-used bin-bag.
James pulling whatever ingredients out of the refrigerator is a running gag.
"Yo players" is not something I ever imagined I'd hear James May say. What a time to be a live.
For some reason I find it rather enjoyable to watch James in these videos. The format is pretty cool too, and the rest of the crew :)
You should try fried bologna sandwich it’s a southern classic
Southern? C'mon, mate, in Canada 🇨🇦 that's called a newfie steak sandwich. Classic!
@@haggis525 Fried bologna is southern.
@@elonmust7470 Well... y'all should explain that to all the wonderful Newf's who've been eating it for generations.
@@haggis525 Maybr you should get it through your head that Newfoundland & The southern US aren't comparable. Wow 5,000 people eat bologna sandwiches in Canada.
Hi FoodTribe!
On behalf of my fellow Danes, I would like to address the way James is handling the Lurpak spreadable butter.
When you open up a fresh package of Lurpak, you remove the paper lit, and throw it in the bin, the thin paper lit do not belong back on the butter.
Thank you
- Mads Kjærgaard on behalf of all danes
I can assure you most British people do exactly that. James is an anomaly.
Tbf i put it back and I don’t know why
I like when james rambles on :D makes it more wholesome!!! stop stopping yourself James!
Why is it that only James May could carry this off and make it watchable!! 😄
Toasted muffin, butter, melted cheddar, sun dried tomatoes and black olives cut in half. Heavenly
They appear to have parallel qualities of an American snack called Funyions, a ring of artificial flavors fried (I think) to resemble an onion ring.
Yup, and under the right conditions (i.e., in a thirst-enduing environment), delicious!
Please bring this back!
I live in Texas, and this video has made me special order Monster Munch. Can't wait to have some!
The last Foodtribe so sad, I'm going to miss everything about this from James May's old-timelyness to Lucy's awkwardness, everyone one was entertaining and endearing. Will miss you all best of luck in all future endeavors.
Christmas Holiday and James May making a sandwich - DECK THE HALLS📯🎁🎄
All butter can be spreadable butter when it's warm enough
Loved this video just for May's rant on the origins of spreadable butter. Boy is he underrated as an intellectual.
100%
James May puts the papery cover back on the Lurpak after each use. Evidence of insanity is right there....😐
What?... You mean you don't? !!?
I love Monster Munch, but I'm not sure I'd put it in a sandwich.
not gonna lie, tempted to try a flamin' hot one
I moved from N. Ireland to Canada at the age of 5 in 1992. It's 2022 and I still crave Monster Munch.
So happy to stumble on this show :D
I never thought I would wake up and have James may say “yo fellas” as a greeting
He said "yo players". Not sure which is worse.
Please try a poutine sandwich, in honour of your Canadian friends!
These are just the best ❤
This is why I get out of bed in the morning. Quality content 10/10 would watch eat crisps again
James getting mad at the drawer 🤣 and then going on about Lurpak Spreadable Butter from 1901.
Oh James... and only you would read the list of ingredients on crisps, and squeeze in the word "alliterative" 👏. And, no, it's not at all surprising that Lucy hasn't tried them.
Can you imagine Inviting Lucy to a birthday party when she was younger “Mum why have you got carrot batons” “There for Lucy I didn’t know what else to get” “But mum knowing Lucy she probably doesn’t like them either “
James May's videos are so comforting
Apserlutly love James May
I'm from the US and I am addicted to monster munch, haha. The pickled onion ones especially, but I like the flamin hot and roast beef too. That and the various onion ring crisps as well.
Came here after the announcement that DriveTribe is closing...is FoodTribe going too? 😢
I'm also looking for the answer to this 😔
@@GoodKingMort I saw one article saying "DriveTribe and all associated businesses" are going, hopefully James will restart his Unemployment Tube if so? 🤞
Both Drivetribe and Foodtribe are closing 😢
I loved Monster Munch first time round and still do
Love this channel
Highly recommend you try a chocolate spread, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich.
They are incredible.
I don't doubt any person who enjoys sweets might like that, but it just sounds like diabetes in sandwich form. However, it's probably be better with slices of fruit inside, such as apple, kiwi and maybe peach.
@@Cheeky_Raccoon So you'd add more sugar, by adding fruit? lol
No.. fruit would not work in such a sandwich. That would be absolutely disgusting.
@@Low-Key123 the point is to detract the amount of overwhelming sugary spreads with fruits. This is assuming thin/reasonable amounts of each spread is used to create balance. It's not just putting more sugars in an inherently sugary sandwich.
The disrespect never throw monster munch in the bin especially picked onion flavour.
Toasted sesame seeded bagel, peppered German salami, sliced gouda cheese, yellow mustard and jalapeños. We call it the Telesto (pronounced as tell-ess-toe) bagel. Feel free to melt the cheese if desired.
Acceptable modifications include substituting the jalapeños for gherkins, or using an alternate type of white cheese or a different variety of mustard. For a variation more befitting of a New York deli, use pastrami instead of salami.
That whole historical piece on Lurpak was just so James May
Really sharing James's mood today...
'Flamin' Hot' Monster Munch's (Red Pack) are by far the best.
Amen brother
My suggestion for this, I call it the Black Friday sandwich (Sandos). This the sandwich I would take to work the day after Thanksgiving, AKA black Friday in the US.
2 slices of white bread, or a large dinner roll if you have any left.
1 thick slice of turkey breast.
Large spoonful of dressing/stuffing
Pour over with gravy
Microwave for 45 seconds.
Thank you for clarifying the Lurpak issue
A favourite sandwich is a salt and vinegar crisp sandwich made with sourdough bread!!! The slight vinegar taste to the bread goes well 😀 also… crisps and chocolate is a brilliant combo (but not in a a sandwich!)
James disgusted himself talking about Lurpak, lol!
James sayin jesus chr*st when lucy says she hates pickled onions made me lol hard hahahaha
This is heresy. Picked onion and roast beef? Why not the best flavour - FLAMING HOT
Suggestion- chip butty, curry sauce, ketchup and a chopped battered sausage with salt and vinegar. One of the best things in existence
American here, I think the closest thing to the monster munch here is the Cheetos paws or the Cheetos bones bag form Halloween.
Kudos to whoever edited in Han hanging from the rafters.
Impressive, Most impressive.
How about visiting us here at Mapperton, home of the Earl and Countess of Sandwich, and discovering the first ever documented sandwich recipe?
When I was a kid - I loved home made chips, thick spread of Cheese Spread (Dairylea) and ketchup sandwiches! Heavenly! I bet no one tries that one - but the chips have to be thick proper chips NOT fries! Yummy!
I could eat that now!
I like Lucy but I'm afraid she's gonna have to do some time for storing crisps in the fridge!!
Just had a cheese and pickle sandwich with monster bunch. Beautiful, works with all crisps
James was wearing this same shirt on The Grand Tour episode ‘Funeral for a Ford’ when him and the guys were riding along in the ST200
I think Doritos can be added to almost any sandwich to make it better. Why not try a fish and chips with Doritos and see if it doesn't enhance the flavors
I need you to try a peanutbutter and sambal ulek sandwich, a dutch/indonesian concoction. Alternatively; a peanutbutter and hagelslag sandwich.
hagelslag is so fun to eat
Monster munch is amazing!
love Lucy she is so adorable
🤨
Until less than an hour ago I didn't even know what 'Monster Munch' was. I imagine it's similar to Twisties; where it's made from genetically modified corn that had been processed beyond death, then tossed around in flavourings that have designated numbers instead of actual names. When I was ten, I thought Twisties was the most wonderful thing in the world, especially the barbeque-flavoured one. Now as a thirty-five year-old man; I feel such 'snacks' shouldn't exist and I regret even trying them.
... cue Edith Piaf in background 🎼 (rien. rien de rien - non, je ne re-greeee...)
NEVER EATEN MONSTER MUNCH!!!!!!!! 😱 what’s wrong with you man !
Aww I like them
Had those in holland when I grew up!, probably still do.
James is the poorest multi-millionaire you'll ever see
Controversy time...I think pickled onion Monster Munch are nearly inedible. Too pickled, they shred your mouth up too. Roast beef and the flamin' hot ones are great though. Too many of them will start to affect your mouth, but not as much as the pickled onion ones, and the roast beef in particular are tasty. Seeing James throw away a Great British snack like Monster Munch should be grounds for treason!
Amazing what can work in a sandwich! A mates old man introduced a new one to us the other day... on buttered bread was spread pawpaw and mango chutney, followed by sliced apple and then a slice of cheese. Was fantastic! My daughter reckons you need to try it out.
that monster munch stuff cuts as well as the stuff you put into big holes in the wall, that blows itself up immediately. poly-something :)
Fried egg made with chilies, finely chopped onions and a pinch of turmeric powder (fry the egg with the bread). Spread with either cheese or mayonnaise.
American one:
Peanut butter on both sides, plus Strawberry (or Grape) jam, plus potato chips!!! Love that sandwich.
Or, try a New England variant:
Peanut butter and Fluff (spreadable marshmallows)
Or perhaps Peanut Butter, Nutella and Jam (PB on one slice and Nutella on the other with jam in the middle)
Monster munch pickled onion and beef are great.
Weird sandwich : peanut butter on one bread, schezwan sauce + green chilli sauce on the other and filled with scrambled eggs (chicken masala)
To answer your question, yes monster munch is available in the USA, but usually in specialty shops.
James the best sandwich is the most basic egg Banjo.
Poverty white thick cut bread.
Lots of butter both sides.
For every 2 pieces of bread use 4 fried eggs with runny yokes.
Dip it in ketchup and enjoy.
Hey guys! Kristen from Nashville (Detroit native). I was a 70-80’s kid as well and many of your 70s dishes we had too (ie, Spam, cheese sandwiches on white bread). Strange to have a touch of home cooking from a British dude. Anyway … pertaining to chips on sandwiches, no. Though we did have salty chips on our sloppy Joe sandwiches (ground beef, tomato sauce, seasonings, hamburger bun), that’s as close as it comes.
I may have to try this, but with Flora, spread on both pieces, and Hovis.
