@@CarpetHater 'horses for courses' would apply, though that's a bad idiom to use here. Never wise to mess around with meat or dairy, even if within Use By date. I've had milk go sour days ahead of it's date, but not smell off. Pretty obvious though when making tea or coffee. Have also had it stay fine for days later. Won't take any chances with meat, but it tends to let you know when open the packing, or even before if the film on they tray has done that 'pillow' shape.
@@benwu7980 with everything i check the date first, if it's close to it, i open and smell it, if it smells fine and i don't see any discolouring or mold or anything i cook it to check, and if everything passes i will eat it. That bottle of oil there looks fine, and if it doesn't have any bits floating in it and it doesn't smell bad it will most likely be fine to use.
@@CarpetHater Yeah, the sniff test still reigns supreme. I've had a tray of chicken portions, well within date, no pillowing on the packaging.. but wow they smelled so off when opened. Gets a little more complicated if getting something already marinated or basted, or if don't have a decent sense of smell. Regardless, Best Before is just a hint rather than a rule for a lot of products. I'd be fine using a can of beans if a year or 2 out of date, unless something obviously bad about them, the same with the oil in video, if it's still clear and not 'gloopy' or rancid.. then fine. Wouldn't exactly recommend it for a food review though.
At the end of the video James tell us, that he is now going to make, the same food, but his way and not with AI,,, so I believe he only used ½ of everything, so he could do that with the rest. I have done a quite a bit of low budget film production myself. and this looks like a low budget production. It is way more fun to do, than big productions,, more enjoyable work.
I was in the military when I was young. On a ship that went to sea for 6-9 months at a time. I think I was the only crew member who was actually happy when we ran out of potatoes and had to switch to the powdered ones. I was the person who had to peel potatoes every day for hundreds of meals.
It is ashamed of itself screaming 'I am not presenting myself to the world´. No spices or herbs, to much liquid. Interesting subject though. Let's fix an internal combustion engine with AI. See if it will run.
It's like the oven was eating it, to save James....a bit like a soldier jumping on a grenade, to save his fellow man... It was almost as if the oven was saying "for the good of humanity, i say NOPE".
@@LadyBeyondTheWallI don't really know what a dugout is (something to do with baseball maybe?) but it doesn't seem absurd to call a bunker (something predominantly found underground) a dugout. I assume at one point in time most bunkers are in fact dug out.

I've never seen one of those can keys in "real life". Almost like watching Tasting History except i feel the exact opposite of wanting to cook it myself.
Being able to just pop the meat out with the top of the can seems quite handy, instead of all the jiggery-pokery with getting spam out of a tin, even if the edge would take your arm off.
@@MyPlayHouse it feels like they're similar in personality. They're separated by decades, but from what we've seen, Lucy is not exactly the most loud or outspoken, she is very particular about things she likes, and has a certain demeanour that feels like she prefers things to be "proper". All of these things pretty much apply to May, too.
fun fact! the russian military used to (no idea if they still do.) used essentially the same can opening trick as corned beef to store cans of ammunition.
Something about James resonates in a way that makes me like pretty much anything he does, from wine travels with Oz to the bunker things with Lucy. There must be a little James May inside a lot of us, I think. Also, I love Lucy. She should get more camera time, I think as she's perfect for James (read that as you like).
Saw a DB5 for the first time in my life in person the other day. I almost cried at its beauty! Just a random fact for all of you out there who I’ve never met and will never know.
if the oil don't smell rancid or noticeably off then its fine. rancid oil is very distinct. I'm from America. We stretch our cooking oil. Certain oils will go rancid in a year in bad storage conditions - light, temp changes. Neutral cooking oils are pretty bullet proof.
James, we are all starved for enjoyable entertainment, and we all love you. Give us anything you feel like filming and give us as much as possible. Lol We’ll pay you if we have to. Lol
They need someone else to do the taste test, it's the same thing every time with Lucy, I dont like this, I don't like that, what is the point in letting her taste it 🤷♀️ very boring....
That was absolutely hilarious!! AI is coming along greatly, but yeah, still a long way to go. You can see it when creating images too, that it does weird things. Just give me a good old shepherd's pie, thank you.
Not difficult as Ramsay is a fake cook IMO. Other people cook his stuff, which James hinted at in his Oh Cook show, Ramsay is nothing more than an overbearing loudmouth.
I know we’re all here to witness James’s witticisms as he navigates common tasks, rather than an actual cooking show, but this video craaaaawwwllled along grudgingly. It killed me to keep skipping, but this one just didn’t cut the mustard as much as many of your other edits.
Great concept but it was bound to fail as it tried to use every single thing in a single dish. Can you do another version with a better "prompt" for chatGPT to use to give it a fighting chance? Something like ======================= Give me a recipe for a meal I can make with the following ingredients: Not all ingredients have to be used, meal can consist of one or more dishes. You can also use common store cupboard ingredients, such as: rice, dried pasta, oil, salt It must take less than 30 minutes, It must feed 2 people, It can only use an oven and a single hob, Etc... ======================= AI can be really helpful, but it is a tool and has to be used the right way. You wouldn't buy an axe, whack the handle against a tree and say "axes are terrible at chopping wood" Really like the channel, looking forward to potentially seeing a part 2. Love, A foodie software engineer :)
This - the difference between can use and must use. Asking for a recipe with James' collection as available ingredients yielded Spam and beans with Branston mustard over mash, soup on the side, and a glass of gin. The Spam and beans bit doesn't sound half bad, really.
It will still fail to give proper oven instructions. Also a software engineer. Buying into the AI hype without knowing what it is, is a pretty silly idea
In my experience it does provide reasonable instruction. In doing evaluation for a group looking to incorporate AI into a cookery website ChatGPT created (or went forth and found) a couple hundred recipes. There were a few duds, but most were acceptable. One - a casserole of picadillo layered with cheese and masa - is in my home meal rotation. Also discovered that peanut butter and sriracha sandwiches are A Thing. Agreed on the excessive hype.... AI is a tool, not some miraculous thing. Then again, when one realizes they've spent a good hour discussing the works of Rabelais with a server farm....
You should totally send a colab to the mythical kitchen / good mythical morning’s, Rhett, and link to see if they can come up with a recipe that was better than the AI version with the exact same ingredients. This is totally up their alley, and would love to see that!
This is more suspenseful than _Jaws_, and I'm not even joking! First he was going to cut his fingers all up; then it was "Is all this even going to fit in this bowl?"; and now it's CAN HE SAFELY GET THE PIE FROM THE OVEN TO THE COUNTER?! 🤣🤣😬😬🤣🤣
Can't believe you didn't put cheese on the top ten minutes before end of cooking time, also a big glug of Worcester sauce would have given it some welly.

James May twatting about with food in a bunker is the most wholesome thing in the world.

Good spot.

That oil’s out of date.
*proceeds to return the rancid oil back on its shelf*
it's not rancid! It's in a sealed container and can't possibly go off. It only goes rancid if it's left exposed to the air.
It's there for emotional support.
Out of date =/= rancid
