James with the new pub.. Jeremy with a farm? Not sure where the little man’s gone?? U can tell there worse off with out each other.. just Chuck them back in to top gear..
After two and half years of insomnia, months of medication and therapy treatment I can finally say I've finally found a cure for my insomnia. I put this video on at 1 AM last night and was out cold in under a minute. best sleep I've had in years. Thank you James for curing my insomnia.
Actually, there is a YT video on Richard Hammond and food. James May is not the only Top Gear presenter drinking alcohol while preparing a meal. It makes me wonder if Jeremy needs a glass while cooking, too. Wouldn't surprise me.
@Brad Viviviyal , it was in Iceland. The Swedes do have their own rotten fish delicacy: surströmming. It's putrified herring from the northern part of Sweden.
Fanny Craddock and her husband Jonnie. More 60s than 70s. Jonnie always showed up sounding like he'd got through a couple of bottles before even starting. She always sounded like she was preparing roast pig stuffed with quail while explaining mashed potatoes.
This is the kind of thing Jeremy and richard would make fun of James for doing, calling him the most boring human being to ever walk the earth, but I loved this
Literally came down to the comments straight away to see if they're mostly about him drinking. I thought he might not have a drink this time, considering he's making things from his childhood.
To recreate the true sandwich from that era, you need to now force it into a little sandwich bag, squash it some more and force the whole lot into a small tupperware box (the ones that smell weird) along with a single apple and a chocolate bar. I have rather vivid memories of standing outside, in the rain at school eating one of those.
This is the 2nd night in a row ive watched him make really basic sandiches and i dont know why? ....Also, bread should face opposite ways imo...thoughts?
When the cameraman was hired: Interviewer: "you will be working on a cooking show with James may" Cameraman: "Great I love food" James may: "here's a cucumber lettuce tomato and spring onion sandwich with some salad dressing" Cameraman: "..."
Come on! To go through boiled meat to this sandwich was a great step to what somebody will call, one day, British cuisine. Of course that somebody was British !
@@jackmantheiy5997 That sucks that a little reverb and non-ideal EQing can completely ruin your enjoyment of high quality content. That might be a medical condition called misophobia, in which certain sounds can trigger intense negative feelings and thoughts. There aren't any known treatments yet but exposure therapy might help.
The most interesting part of this is that this is a major part of his young life. You learn a lot about a time and place by their food. Hope he does more of this, preferably while driving.
With a bag of skips and a huge wagon wheel. The kid that brought boiled egg sandwich, and all heads would turn towards them as everyone catches scent of that pungent sulphurous smell.
Have you seen some of the 60s recipe books? The food pics are mostly horrible and unappetising...definitely don't make you want to rush into the kitchen to try one or two or ten...
As a child in the 1970's, this is spot on as far as lunch goes. That Sunblest bread would weld itself to the roof of your mouth, so had to be dislodged with either your finger, or a packet of Golden Wonder crisps! Dinner would be a Vesta Chow Mein with strawberry Angel Delight for pudding, washed down with Orange Squash that could glow in the dark, or if you were really lucky, a can of Top Deck shandy! :-)!
Having eaten sandwiches in the 1970s and even -- gasp -- the 1960s, I was waiting for the stuck-to-the-roof-of-the-mouth thing re the bread. Historically accurate, youngsters.
The only sandwiches I remember from the 70's were soggy Tomato sandwiches, Lettuce and Salad Cream Sandwiches and if we were really lucky Bread with Margarine and sprinkled with Sugar.
I thought here in Hungary under the socialist regime we had worst food but now im happy knowing we ate a bit better than the British chaps. By the way, the poorest people here had bread soaked with water and sprinkled sugar on it. My Mum used to eat that if they had no money at all.
@@UncleRuckusEnjoyer Depended where you lived in the UK really. Most in the welsh counties back then had never seen Pasta, let alone eaten it. That's kind of fitting though, as the welsh are the descendents of the pictish peoples whom warred with the Romans XD.

I like how he involves members of the team and treats them nicely, like a normal bloke should. I hope the younger colleagues don't think of him as a granddad and learn from him. Because there are quite a few things to learn.
I'm from the US, my mother used to make me these sandwiches in the 1970's except - Miracle was used (I've never heard of Salad Cream and now I want to try it) and my sandwiches weren't so fancy; they had no cucumbers on them. I'm promptly headed to Amazon to look for Salad Cream.
Some grocery stores carry it, if the store has an international isle. Meijer, a regional chain where I live, has a whole section of British foods. I've seen the salad cream there.
He still drinks wine the way Oz Clarke taught him 😂. The Zinfandel is a total reference to his time with Oz in California several years ago; James said definitively that Californian Zinfandel is his favorite of all the new world wines.
3:30 Kale existed, at least in the US. It was purely decorative, though and used for things like covering ice between containers on a buffet or making dividers in a grocer's meat case. In the 1980's, this started being replaced by plastic kale, because it was cheaper and reusable, which lead to a glut on the produce market of excess kale. By about 1990, it had gotten SO inexpensive due to overproduction that experiments with eating the stuff to get rid of it began.

Gives me flashbacks to my dad's sandwiches in the 80s. White bread, bologna, lettuce, and mayo. Tomato or mustard if he was feeling fancy. Now I'm craving one for nostalgia's sake.
You know the wine is high quality when it comes with a screw on cap. Regarding celebrity chefs not existing until the ‘80s, do the names Julia Child or Graham Kerr ring any bells? 🤔😋
James was talking about how there were no chef TV shows or celebrity chefs. What about those folks mentioned on 1970’s sitcoms like the Galloping Gourmet or Fanny Craddock ?
The Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr, broadcast on American TV in the late 60's/early 70's. Julia Child, although she talked funny and was known as the French Chef, was American. She broadcast on PBS.
Shockingly bad production. The lighting is terrible, the sound is terrible and the set is terrible. There are 12 year olds who live stream with more of a clue.
My childhood salad sandwiches didn't have salad cream only mayo,but we always had beetroot. Also in the 60s Dad grew iceberg lettuce, it's still my fave.
i just made this, literally just now as of the moment im typing this message, and i must have gotten the right kind of bread for it stuck to the roof of my mouth. < this german person is now very pleased. thank you i found a new easy snack thanks to you.

He still drinks wine the way Oz Clarke taught him 😂. The Zinfandel is a total reference to his time with Oz in California several years ago; James said definitively that Californian Zinfandel is his favorite of all the new world wines.
3:30 Kale existed, at least in the US. It was purely decorative, though and used for things like covering ice between containers on a buffet or making dividers in a grocer's meat case. In the 1980's, this started being replaced by plastic kale, because it was cheaper and reusable, which lead to a glut on the produce market of excess kale. By about 1990, it had gotten SO inexpensive due to overproduction that experiments with eating the stuff to get rid of it began.
and that is where it should have stayed.
It was cooked down with pork fat (ham hocks) and served with chops or ham. Side of boiled potatoes and pickled cucumber. Mustard optional on the ham.
You must be fun at parties
@@wenkaima8733 ah yes, the internet edginess of responding to wit understood to be pedantry with a dig at social skills that was fresh in 2011. "Back atcher, chum!"

You are just boring.
"we are looking at the dark ages of british cousine"
were there any bright ones?
Marco Pierre White's the only one I could think of.
During the Norman conquest of England?
There’s a reason why Gordon Ramsey, a British chef, makes very few dishes that actually originate from Britain
Whenever chicken Tikka was invented I guess.
Derek Stanley not cool many English dishes? Beef Wellington?? What he is known for??
"The young people have been playing around with the knives" haha -
No not the young people. Refugees are.

This made me go and buy everything I needed to make this haha. It was not terrible. I had 4 of them
Spring onion in the 70's! You flash ponce May. 😁
"Hmmmmm, Much better than bulls blood"
-May 2019
There is a type of wine called bull's blood. It is Hungarian and a kind of merlot. I also think it is better than Zinfandel, pretty inexpensive too
@@Sirinwara it is not a merlot, it is a cuvée of several kinds of red grapes
@@Sirinwara There is also Spanish wine "Sagre del toro" blood of the bull, it's kind of common cheapish wine in central europe.
I actually like the Bikaver Egri better than your average Cali Zin.
@@chimerazo sorry you are right - it is a cuvée indeed.
James: **pulls out vegetables from a drawer like it’s the produce section of a grocery store**
Me: _Visible confusion_
it is called the "slow reveal" otherwise you would have seen all the ingredients up front and it would have been only a 5 min video :)))))
@Steph Kightley what? That’s not the point of my comment. I was very confused by the fact that he was pulling the vegetables out of what seemed like the drawer of a normal writing desk. Did you even read my comment?
@@mistertree553 yeah, he does have a bit of an accent but it isn't really that hard to understand
@Johnny Quasar Are you trolling me?
Lol!!!. Love it! And your camera man's tee shirt!
You guys are too cute.
I feel like my dad is standing in his garage just making a sandwich and having a glass of wine wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wonder how long Jeremy would watch James present this before leaving or making a snide comment? Mmmm.....maybe 30 seconds.
You're right on the money🤣
Up next: Gordon Ramsay reviews the Dacia Sandero
Ramsey actually is a car man. He buys super cars like LaFerrari
I would love a series of Gordon Ramsay being forced to drive crappy cars and getting to blow up about them.
It would be quite the marketing ploy and content diversification strategy if they got Gordon to drive the Sandero. I hope the 'tribesmen see your comment.
Why did I watch this!!!!
Why did I enjoy this????
For a nation that plundered for spices, the British sure hate flavor.
*flavour

salad cream: am I a joke to you?
@Shutbyotch salad cream is very vinegary and strong. Has the sharpness of tomato ketchup
Still bland sandwich though
Gives me flashbacks to my dad's sandwiches in the 80s. White bread, bologna, lettuce, and mayo. Tomato or mustard if he was feeling fancy.
Now I'm craving one for nostalgia's sake.
Good to see that you still have a seventies haircut.
It suits him so well!
From Canada, definitely have had a version of this and man I still crave this
You know the wine is high quality when it comes with a screw on cap.
Regarding celebrity chefs not existing until the ‘80s, do the names Julia Child or Graham Kerr ring any bells? 🤔😋
Julia Childs wasn't a chef though. She's who he means when he references cooks with cookbooks
James was talking about how there were no chef TV shows or celebrity chefs. What about those folks mentioned on 1970’s sitcoms like the Galloping Gourmet or Fanny Craddock ?
The Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr, broadcast on American TV in the late 60's/early 70's. Julia Child, although she talked funny and was known as the French Chef, was American. She broadcast on PBS.
Please make more of these, but without the cameraman breathing and groaning in my left ear.
mar. 🤣🤣🤣
That’s the only reason I watch
Shockingly bad production. The lighting is terrible, the sound is terrible and the set is terrible. There are 12 year olds who live stream with more of a clue.

My childhood salad sandwiches didn't have salad cream only mayo,but we always had beetroot. Also in the 60s Dad grew iceberg lettuce, it's still my fave.
The lack of meat on this sandwich makes me feel slightly uneasy.
Good.
We need Bacon and Spam, Eggs Bacon and Spam, Spam sausage and Spam, Spam Spam Spam...
I find your lack of meat disturbing...
Dw he made a video about spam sandwich. Just spam. Nothing else.
@@mullerman1104 dont you have anything without spam?
Listen with headphones to hear the old man noises!
This is 100 times better than new Top Gear
