3:02 considering all the different types of food he's eaten around the world from snake blood vodka, insects to lambs brains I am actually not surprised he didn't mind that one. edit: Anyone else miss James just messing around with food combo's in his bunk out kitchen?
Salt and vinegar nuts are the ones for me, and I remember hickory smoked nuts from a while back but haven’t seen them in a while but I remember them to be rather special
Ppl asking why James is appearing on different channels at the same time recently; It's because modern interviews happen in one spot, and all of the "interviewers" have a limited time slot to do their interviewing. Once they have done, they bugger off and the next interviewer comes in. It's why sometimes you see celebrities being a bit impatient or fed up with the interviewers. The audience has no idea that the person being interviewed has been sitting in the same spot for hours whilst listening to interviewers and their (often inane) questioning. Also, very often, ppl like James will actually be contractually obliged (basically forced) to do these plugs for their shows/books etc. So an interviewer turns up with yucky stuff for James to try, he can either refuse/end the interview (which is bad for publicity), or he jumps through the interviewers hoops (which is good for publicity).
I bet Clarkson has had the Jellied Eel, he seems to be willing to try all the weird/odd food on their trips. Can't wait to see what James eats in India! Great video guys :D
I like crispy fried shrimp. They are produced in Thailand and come in a little tin. Nicely spicy, they go down great with an ice cold glass of Indian or Chinese beer. Best Scotch Eggs I ever ate were from a food hall not far from home. They were huge, and one was made with Haggis, and the other with Black Pudding. Perfect.
Oi dont knock dry roasted peanuts and twiglets, i love em 😂 Pigs in blankets are unhealthy and we know how unhealthy they are..but theyre really good nonetheless. I dont think ive ever heard James use 'bangin' before, but that must mean its proper good.
I used to fancy a packet of pork scratchings once in a blue moon, until recently. A few weeks ago I found an unusually large and heavy scratching in the bag. I didn’t think much of it, popped it in my mouth only to spit it out. It didn’t taste quite right, was impossible to bite into like a rock, and had the rough shape of a hoof. I think it was a large chunk of bone or something. I’m never eating them again.
Had a similar experience happily munching my way through a bag, then produced a little triangular bit that was most definitely the tip of an ear 🤢 Never again! 😅
I'm eating my standard Tuesday afternoon pickle selection as James May tucks into his pickled onions at 4:10 and I just had a particularly tangy onion myself. Absolutely delicious and I can confirm that having something pickled then taking a large sip of a fruity ale is both magic and delicious. Well said Mr May
Watching James go from short brown tight top gear all through shaggy tramp stripey jumper capatain slow Top Gear and now to Michael Palin/Bourdain cultural food travel in dtripey jumper is a treasure. You're the JAMES in every Bond, James Bond
Bollocks James! 1 Land at Heathrow 2 Find first place likely to sell KP Dry Roasted Peanuts .. Every time! ....I started drooling as soon as I saw the packet.
Scotch eggs aren't remotely complicated to make, it's just a hard boiled egg with sausage meat packed around it and then rolled in egg and breadcrumbs. If you aren't making scotch eggs at home on the regular, get into it. Oven cook them if you're gonna be putting them in the fridge and picking at them for a few days (about half hour on gas 6) or deep fry them (full heat, 5 minutes-ish) if you're eating them right now and want the yolk to be runny. I knock up a few most weekends at 2am whilst off my tits on rum when I want to gluttonously munch something hunched over the kitchen counter before stumbling upstairs to pass out. Seriously, add them to your repertoire, they're nowhere near as intimidating as you think and they're a hearty as fuck meal for how quickly you can put them together. You want my advice you under-boil the eggs by a couple of minutes and then deep fry them and have them with chips so you can mop up the yolk - fry the chips first, you want the scotch eggs as soon as they're pulled so the yolk stays as runny as possible. It'll change your life.
Pickled onions need black pepper in the vinegar....and in a good ploughman"s. Like any food,if it's fresh and well cooked most should be very good.Don't buy nasty soggy plastic wrapped stodge. I love a good sausage roll and pigs in blankets :) Yum!
Happened to Clarkson too, a few years back. Somewhere between the early Grand Tour shows he just suddenly fell off a cliff. I wonder when it'll get Hammond...
Jellied eels truly are delicious. How an east ender could compare them to gone-off Spam baffled me. It's not possible for Spam to go off unless it's left out of the can for (probably) weeks. I spy what they call a fussy eater. Probably survives on cheese sandwiches with the crusts cut off like Mummy makes.
I like most of this food. Jellied eels I had years back but the fish itself is ok but they are so bony and that's horrible. More bone in eel than anything.
Sausage rolls and pigs in blankets are not pub snacks. A pub snack is something you eat with your beer as a nibble. Pickled eggs, pickled onions (I've seen the jars but never seen anyone eat them), crisps, nuts, bombay mix, that kind of thing. Jellied eels must be a southern thing. In Europe you often get olives ( not my taste, though) and, to my surprise in Rome, thick chunks of Parmesan. That went well with both wine and beer. I checked. Quite a few times.
There had to be large amounts of booze involved when the first person sit around and thought it would be a good idea to jelly a eel. Double that amount and a dare to actually think it was a good idea to eat it.
Are Pigs in Blankets a "pub classic"? I don't think I've ever seen 1 in a pub. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've not seen a sausage roll or a Scotch Egg in a pub either, even though James sells Scotch Eggs in his ... maybe I've seen them once or twice I'm not so sure. I certainly wouldn't describe any of that as "pub classics" and Pigs in Blankets I only ever see at Christmas.
James May on a publicity tour is absolute gold dust
He's a national treasure already doesn't need to do one.
Dont being Mr Conductor into this.
This Man is the perfect balance of Intellect/ Ingenuity/ Simplicity/ Relatable all the while talking a whole load of bollocks. Perfect 😂
Stop trying to intellectualize the food of the peasants....they're quite good aren't they. 🤣🤣
A much needed and classic James May rant 😂

I snickered pretty damn hard too. 🤣🤣🤣

Don't forget the bull's penis and rotten shark he ate in front of Gordon Ramsay.
Don’t forget the V8 blender juice!!
@@Scampi95 A real mans drink! puts hairs on your hairs that does.
Also just remembered Hammond's special little hard boiled egg 🤢
I could watch James May do anything and I will be entertained
Dry roasted peanuts are amazing.
I used to love them now I’ve developed an allergy to them 💀😂
Salt and vinegar nuts are the ones for me, and I remember hickory smoked nuts from a while back but haven’t seen them in a while but I remember them to be rather special
@@mrmoran0077 underrated, those salt and vinegar peanuts are God Tier for sure
Salt and vinegar peanuts?? One English food i really want...

I don’t understand why James is eating pub snacks but honestly doesn’t have a beer?? He needs a beer, like what are we doing gentlemen🤦🏻♂️

glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
Indian food is tremendous so I imagine it will be a parade of delights
Hammond: "What are those?"
Clarkson: "Dragonflies"
H: "What do they taste like?"
C: "Dragonflies"
Hearing him talk about oz Clark makes me miss him and Them together so much. Can we PLEASE have oz try James May gin?
James did mention in a food tribe podcast on why Oz doesnt like being on television.
Oz and James Rum Fun
For the wristwatch loving croud, He's wearing a Rolex Milgauss with a white dial. MY personal Grail.
Didn't even know it came in a white dial variant, nice.
Pork scratchings and a pint is incredible.
I like crispy fried shrimp. They are produced in Thailand and come in a little tin. Nicely spicy, they go down great with an ice cold glass of Indian or Chinese beer.

Gotta love his little rant about seasoning peanuts, then immediately changes his mind after trying one 😂
My wife and i visited from Sweden last year. The pub was so nice, we stayed for a few more nights. Ace!
Oi dont knock dry roasted peanuts and twiglets, i love em 😂
Pigs in blankets are unhealthy and we know how unhealthy they are..but theyre really good nonetheless.

Love Mr may and very surprised he was willing to eat these
Greggs sausage roll would be God tier, tesco however i imagine wouldn't be as good.

Smiths Scampi 🍤 are amazing 😉
Classic
That's top tiet pub snacking without doubt
James May has his own way of humour
Not putting pork scratchings in the god tier? You disappoint me, May.
Anything pig can not be god tier
Jellied Eels and Pork Scratchings are the best :D
Nah a proper sausage roll with nice flaky crunchy pastry would at least be elite
Imagine securing James May on your channel and getting the stuff From tescos 🙈
I've had jellied herring before and that's great! So I can imagine jellied eel to be very good
Watching James go from short brown tight top gear all through shaggy tramp stripey jumper capatain slow Top Gear and now to Michael Palin/Bourdain cultural food travel in dtripey jumper is a treasure. You're the JAMES in every Bond, James Bond
It was so funny that he tried to feed the host everything
😂 I’m the host and I can now say I’ve been fed by James May!
@@simonharknesstv Remember next time to come with an empty stomach 😄
Speaking at the Scotch Egg section I know the A30 from London all the way to Lands End in Cornwall
Chips with pickled onion and sausage. Magic.
Send Twiglets to me! I love those things, been years since I had some, little salty yeasty wheatpuffs
No way he put sausage roll in meh and jellied eels in elite... AND SAID THEY AREN'T MODERN ENOUGH😂
Wouldn’t mind another Oz & James.
Tut, tut, tut, James. Twiglets made a Top Gear special edition called, Stiglets.
Have you been on holiday to mercury?! 😂 Will forever be a fan
I can’t wait for India tomorrow 😊👍
Give him a nice pint of thick, brown beer you monsters, how is national treasure James May supposed to endure all that without wetting his whistle? 😂
I assumed that he would be too irritated to rate some food so high, however it appears to only be irritation because he doesn't have a pint yet.
James May, with his flowing mane the colour of jellied eel.
Twiglets are the best man 👌
If you've never had a Veremetino, try it. Lovely varietal.
"stop over complicating peasants food" goes on to say about how his chef makes scotch egg with truffle oil
Someone's been watching Snack Wars. Fun stuff.
Bollocks James! 1 Land at Heathrow 2 Find first place likely to sell KP Dry Roasted Peanuts .. Every time! ....I started drooling as soon as I saw the packet.
Bacon and scampi fries deserve to be here
WE LOVE YOU JAMES!
I saw the burger with side of fries from his pub god it looks Soo good
i love james may
i would say brown ales and dark lagers are pretty underappreciated
Scotch eggs are a pub snack??? I thought they were complicated to make, which kind of beats the purpose of a snack you eat while drinking at a pub.

If you aren't making scotch eggs at home on the regular, get into it.

Pork scratchings are banging, never heard of a jellied eel tho
the lack of scampi fries is a sin
we genuinely couldn’t find them anywhere 😭 absolute must have in any pub
Yes I wanted to see that 😅
Not me dipping my twiglets in marmite
It's a crime to eat jellied eals without pepper and vinegar.
Should be a crime to eat jellied eels
Sausage rolls are highly dependable on what kind of sauce is in them.
Is that chef excellence/Dan from the Ashens channel behind the camera??????
yo he love promoting his pub he does
Pickled onions need black pepper in the vinegar....and in a good ploughman"s. Like any food,if it's fresh and well cooked most should be very good.Don't buy nasty soggy plastic wrapped stodge. I love a good sausage roll and pigs in blankets :) Yum!
totally disagree fry onions and peppers and then cook ya beans with them added. loads better than just beans lol
you should have had them accompany one another. ie. pickled onion and sausage roll. etc.
He tasted the jellied eel and remembered his time fighting in the Boer war.
This is the third section of the same interview I've seen today and each has been on a different channel
It’s interview day.
That jelly eel use the teath to get that back strap of meat, after that it's picking.
When did James May turn into Tim Martin?
Good question 😂😂
He looks like he's aged 10 years all of a sudden, what has Amazon done to him?
Happened to Clarkson too, a few years back. Somewhere between the early Grand Tour shows he just suddenly fell off a cliff. I wonder when it'll get Hammond...
He's not wearing 3 hours of makeup or a fresh haircut. That probably is a part of it.
These guys aren’t that young anymore 😂😂
He looks like a old British woman from the 70s
Pickled onions are delicious.
If it ain't bland and mushy, it ain't British. It's gotta taste like a grey overcast day feels. Just enough to suck the soul out.
Mmmmmmmm, sausage rolls........... :)
never thought james once tasted dog farts. 😂
Hey. He shaved ! I didn’t expect him to shave his beard off so soon.
I thought he was going to say the pigs in blankets weren't nice... I couldn't believe it and then he said its god 😂
Beard Brothers do the best sausage rolls
How do you compare jellied eels to spam? 😂

Pickled onions, God teir i agree.

"Its essentially a scab from a pig..." lol
the more I think about it the more I think he’s right 😂
"If you're from a sensible country that's not hamstrung by living in the Middle Ages..."
Damn, May just shat on the whole Middle East! 😂
Don't cut the sausage roll just take a bite
-Spicy Chilli flavour peanuts
-"Classic" pub snacks
Behave yourself.
Sausage rolls and pigs in blankets are not pub snacks. A pub snack is something you eat with your beer as a nibble. Pickled eggs, pickled onions (I've seen the jars but never seen anyone eat them), crisps, nuts, bombay mix, that kind of thing. Jellied eels must be a southern thing.
In Europe you often get olives ( not my taste, though) and, to my surprise in Rome, thick chunks of Parmesan. That went well with both wine and beer. I checked. Quite a few times.
I never thought one day I'd be hooked on dog farts... But hey... I guess you live and you learn ! 😅😅😅
No protein should ever be "Jellied."
There had to be large amounts of booze involved when the first person sit around and thought it would be a good idea to jelly a eel. Double that amount and a dare to actually think it was a good idea to eat it.
Are Pigs in Blankets a "pub classic"? I don't think I've ever seen 1 in a pub. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've not seen a sausage roll or a Scotch Egg in a pub either, even though James sells Scotch Eggs in his ... maybe I've seen them once or twice I'm not so sure. I certainly wouldn't describe any of that as "pub classics" and Pigs in Blankets I only ever see at Christmas.
Man does some complaining before he's even had a bite FFS 🤣😂😂
I hope you aren't complaining about his complaining
@@jonnyting71 I am yes . Have you any complaints about that ?
No thank you, I would hate to complain@@garyfearon5637
It’s simple… I see James may I watch
Dry roasted are the best type of nut
After this, he's gonna have a custard cream.
You bought a sausage roll from tesco...
no good Stake?
James is 100% wrong about Twiglets and Pork scratchings... as usual
If James says 'yes' it must be True show.
8:38 Not as nice as johnnies? Each to his own I suppose and at least they're foil-wrapped for freshness.
guessing you also dont like marmite james,same flavour profile as twiglets
*BANGGGG... "cheese"
I had a great time Bim, did you?
