Stop going on about me cutting the bun all the way through. I acknowledged my mistake and paid my debt to society. I should be left alone to rebuild my life as best I can.
Also, toploaders FTW.
you made me question for a minute if my insistence that a hotdog is a taco because the bun is attached on the bottom was wrong
Could do worse.
Like slicing a slice of sliced bread in half - from the narrow side.
American hot dogs are not boiled James May. You have been misinformed, it wouldn’t be American if it wasn’t grilled, we need our food set on fire.
top loaded like a proper bolt action/semi auto lunch, via clip, dinner being a more serious event, but less precise, can be mag or belt fed
How about a hotdog how i like em, mayo + ketchup and diced onions.
Tomato ketchup that is, not the curry ketchup that other people usually use, just plain ol' tomato ketchup and mayo.
EDIT: Oh whoops, i forgot the slice of roast cheese, first you fry the sausage (so, no cooking), then when it's almost done, put a slice of on top of the sausage, you can just let it melt or slightly roast it for a crispier bite, before you put it in the bun, then add sauces and onions.
As a 38 year old American, I have NEVER seen a jar of hot dogs.
As a 38 year old American, you've never tasted a high quality hot dog either. Unless you've been in Europe.
you haven't lived,:)
That's because they aren't sold that way in America, it would be unnecessary. All American-style hot dogs sold in the UK are jarred or canned, which I believe is just to make them indefinitely shelf stable, because American hotdogs aren't very popular in the UK. They would spoil in the markets before they could be sold
Fur Trader: Now you have! Lol 🙈
@@unclebrat You've never had a proper hot dog then. Bland is the polar opposite of what they are. The US hot dogs are the bland ones that don't have any flavor other than the artificial additives inside them.
I love how with every episode, James becomes more self aware of the editing that will happen
Yeah, he never figured editing out in 30 years of TV. But now...
CHEESE 🧀🤣
Or you've become more aware of what is in-between spliced clips...?
@@morkusmorkus6040 do you reckon maybe not every show is edited in the same way...?
May knows from editing. Be serious.
"Sausage history is complicated" must be the most James May thing anyone has ever James Mayed
Boiling hot dogs may be something of a traditional cooking method--my grandparents always boiled theirs--but I' prefer mine grilled or even pan-fried. I think it's because my grandfolks used boiling as a means to reduce the hot dogs' salt content and I wanted full flavor.
I order the Volkswagen bratwurst from the sausage man online, yes Volkswagen actually make they’re own brand bratwurst even with a part number on them and they taste very similar too American hotdogs. They’re huge and two of them will fill you up. Lovely with some ketchup and German mustard😋
@@matty6848 Yup, I've had them at my uncles in Germany. They also have a VW brand of ketchup to go with them. 👍
@@marcusdamberger really, I never knew VW make their own ketchup. Is like curry ketchup or just standard tomato flavour? I’ll definitely have too give that a try.
You can even buy dedicated hot dog grillers with rollers to rotate them.
no, it actually has to do with the casing. it doesnt matter when you char or crisp the skin of a cellulose-cased dog since it's already meh.
A naturally cased hotdog is to be steamed/boiled to maintain skin integrity and results in a delicious snap with each bite.
Need more cooking episodes, we've gone a bit astray.
Agreed, need to bring the cooking back
This must be old stock footage, because I thought they scrapped the whole kitchen and dumped the special edition James May Lurpak invented in 1901 refridgerator in the ocean.
Yeah some of the non cooking videos have been done by youtubers before. Quite annoying. Probably trying to keep regular uploads for the algorithm
Ashtray
This is the reason i subscribed to the channel.
13:28 the look of disbelief on May’s face at someone not liking a sausage sandwich is hilarious 😂
"Government issue bread".. always cracks me up 😂
council issue
@@joedafpv6770soft council bread that leaves finger marks imprinted on it. Spread Lurpak spreadable butter invented in 1901 on one side only for reasons of economy, plenty of it flood, the cowling. Then add the *thud* Cheese. Optional condiments include salad cream or Houses of Parliament sauce.
@@tomossaunders8597 spot on
When James cut the bun in half, I died a little inside.
You gotta leave one side attached otherwise you're going to have a bad time. I'm glad to see that he rectified that issue.
He didn’t really rectify it, he cut it the wrong way.
@@BigSteve215 Yes, but there was an attempt. That said, cutting down the top is still like scoring a B- on a re-test but at least it's not an F.
@@mattd1188 True. They cut it like a lobster roll! Meh
@@natedole8276 I mean, if you think about it - while top-cutting is simi-treasonous, it is symmetrical as opposed to the side-cut which leaves a fluffy top half and a flatter bottom half. 🤷
I yelled….NOOOOOO.
i love that james manages to describe the US the UK by how each country puts sausages in bread
Hiding and slightly embarrassed 😂
He really needs to try a steak sausage from a Scottish butcher(maybe they have them down south now, but they never did in the past) anyhoo, they are great with a bit of whatever sauce you like. Three of them in a roll, onions if you like them, perfect 👌
@@pseudonayme7717 Down here in Laandaan we can get Boerewors, South African beef sausage, from Saffer shops. In SA it's eaten in a roll.
This is tip of the spear type research my man. True contribution to the world's sausage eaters! 💖🇬🇧🇺🇸
When I moved to the UK I went to Costco and saw a few things I had never seen. First, the 5-gallon pales of mayonnaise. Next were the 3-gallon tins of baked beans. Third were the giant "American style" hamburger buns. Never seen a bun like that or that big in the US. Now you have hotdogs in a jar. Never seen hotdogs in a jar in the US. Guess that'd be another thing I'd see in the UK.
…I want to go to a UK Costco, now.
Seen it every in the EU. And NOWHERE in the USA. You have a point
"Houses of Parliment Brown Sauce" lol James is Legend.
Always leave the hot dog bun connected on one side so the hot dog nestles in without falling apart. 🌭
And cut it down the top not the side!
@@severantic6875 This is wrong. You don't cut a sausage roll down from the top.
@@nicksosicc Yes you do. That way everything sits nicely inside the roll with the help of gravity.
@@susi-emily It still does if you cut it sideways and hold it sideways. Although if you're putting multiple on a plate, I see your point.
Flex tape exists for a reason 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was recently in Morrison's and they were selling these absurdly long sausages. So I bought them as I felt like there was no other option, you can't see them and not buy them. I also bought a full baguette. After getting home and grilling the sausages I was beyond satisfied that they perfectly fit in half of the baguette. So I had two sausages per half baguette and it was the best thing ever. I can't stop thinking about it. What a rush.
Mate I'm tingling just reading it
sounds like something out of scooby doo
That sounds freaking awesome. I never thought of a sausage in a baguette. Now I have to go on the search for absurdly long ones, probably at the local butcher lol.
I never knew attraction till witnessing James may with a nice solid sausage
Most exciting moment in a Brit's life
The way he said “american hot dog” in the usa accent was too accurate 😂
When you cut that bun in half my heart sank. How could you?
Ngl this just proves that James May could do anything and it's still entertaining.
I think most of us here in America don't boil our hot dogs unless we're a street vendor. Ideally we grill them, and if that's not practical, we pan fry them. Boiling is the least desirable option.
In Chicago (home of some of the best hot dogs in America) it would be cooked either by boiling or Fried.
I would say that most Americans would prefer a grilled hotdog, but most don’t actually grill them. I’d say a boiled hotdog is entirely adequate, and especially if you need a lot hot dogs heated.
Boil is definitely above pan fry
We also don't get our hotdogs from a jar.
@@okienative4785 here it varies, tin or jar or in case of franks, that weird bag thing
I love how he just throws the Churchill quote in.
Thank you for bringing back food videos I've been re watching videos but still love the new ones
The original recipe for HP Sauce was developed by Frederick Gibson Garton, a grocer from Nottingham. He registered the name H.P. Sauce in 1895 after hearing that a restaurant in the Houses of Parliament had begun serving it, and for many years the bottle labels have carried a picture of the Houses of Parliament.
And the criminal thing is there is now a Heinz logo somewhere on the bottle, so it's American owned and manufactured in Holland.
HP isn't Brown sauce (even though it's brown coloured).
HP is HP sauce (unless it's the fruit one). Brown sauce tastes different.
Anyone else annoyed that there's a bottle of opened HP sauce on the shelf, and James used a new bottle
@@LurpakSpreadableButter Maybe it is a sponsor.
For the Americans in the bunch, HP Sauce tastes very much like A1 sauce. I think HP is a bit more vinegary and A1 is a touch less sweet. I like them both.
The fact James could literally be doing anything he wants but still chooses to spend his time doing things like this is very interesting.
Promoting his business? Yeah that's strange.
i love how perfect the top half of the fridge door meets the top of the table
Wonderful humor! Thanks.
Grilled hot dogs are much better than steamed or boiled :)
They are not an American Hot Dog if not from the jar :)
Yes!
@@LuE87 Ballpark, Nathan's, Foster Farms, Hebrew National are all packaged tightly in plastic and displayed in a fridge section of American supermarkets.
@@flinx Sounds like James did y'all a favour by using something better, then
@@Psyforged Costco hot dogs are special but they are not the epitome of hot dogs.
Thank goodness the fridge is safe.
We need more May. Please don't stop doing these
Sunday morning Bunnings sausage sizzle, slice of bread, beef sausage, fried onions, tomato sauce. Nice
I’m American. I have a great love for the U.K. Must say, I have never seen an American eat jarred hot dogs. Also, as a North Carolinian, I encourage you to have a hot dog all the way in rural NC if you’re ever in the Great North State. All-the-way means boiled red hot dog, yellow mustard, chopped coleslaw (doesn’t resemble English coleslaw), hot dog chili, and chopped raw onions in a soft hot dog bun.
Love your cooking! I’ve missed you!
I was a bit shocked by the jar as well, until I thought back and realized that all of the vacuum-sealed dogs I've eaten have always been packed in that little bit of 'hot dog juice' which is what this surely must be. Plastic is gas permeable though so if one is exporting actual american hot dogs, glass might be the better option. That, and it classes it up.
Do we really call ourselves the great north state?
As a fellow North Carolinian, I concur. The chili, coleslaw and mustard combo is the best. (By the way, we're the Old North State.)
@@AbstractM0use oops, bad typing on my part… still think NC is great
@@vedangsinghal3038 oops it’s the Old North State…
I've never seen hot dogs in a jar before, but those looked quite nice. Ketchup is a no no in my area, as is boiling. Normally, we would grill them on an outdoor charcoal barbeque. The bun (i.e. "roll") would either be steamed or toasted/fried with a bit of butter. Also, despite America always seeming to steal credit unnecessarily, most of us know that hot dogs are indeed German. If you meet an older American, they may even call it a "Frankfurter."
Finally, somebody else who knows that ketchup does not belong on hot dogs!
Let me guess? Illinois?
Most of us that actually know hot dogs know that they’re undeniably American and don’t confuse frankfurters with the assembled dish.
A true (that is to say Danish) Hotdog has: Bun, sausage, remoulade, mustard, ketchup, onions (raw and fried) and slices of pickles cucumber - this is the only acceptable hotdog, everything else must be addressed as "garbage meat in intestines, served in tasteless bread".
The water is pretty much a NYC thing l.
im so happy that fridge still exists.. i come back to the cheese x1000000 video at least once a month to maintain my sanity
Ha ha ha, not only Mr Slow behind the wheel of a car but also in the kitchen😂😂😂
So glad James is back in the bunker.
As an American, I can hardly contain my laughter! This was phenomenal!
6:46 that silly noise was so well balanced, adding it for the third time, but for a shorter period, so it's still funny and not yet annoying. 😀
The UK is playing hide the sausage while America displays how big their sausage is. That seems fitting.
I've never seen a hot dog come in a glass jar LOL.
In England you need a license to get the hot dogs that don't come in a glass jar or tin can.
Have you ever seen a Hotdog wobbler 9000? 'o.O
English thing
@@YourWifesBoyfriend I'm guessing something to do with food safety and plastics usage?
Hatfield meats, peel-ey plastic wrap, single use once the hotdog juice gets on the edges.
Ah, the smells of Saturday render day and Tuesday cooking day
I love how the ATF won't even leave James alone. No one is safe from the mighty AFT.
Wow! What a show James... specially love your Gin at first sight, now must try!
More needs to be said about the Australian way.... white bread, folded diagonally, with BBQ'd onion on top, and sauce of either Australian Mustard, Tomato Sauce, BBQ sauce or a combo of them. Also known as the Bunnings Snag (because it's served outside the hardware shop chain branches, on weekends, by local charities)
(by the way I find Australian mustard a perfect "between" of the Hot English Mustard and the American Mustard - still has some of the bite of the English, and some of the the sweetness of the American)
Thank you, James, for being so frank.
🤣
Oh, I think you may have hit a snag...
-furter
Enfurter?
He's not Frank, he's James
I love this nonsense... I'd love it more often... 5+ minutes of James being him
Just love the " hello viewers" opening. ❤❤
As an American who has eaten many many hotdogs I don’t know how to feel about the jarred hotdogs. You need to have Nathan’s hotdogs for a better experience. I like to add mustard, onion, and chili as well. Sometimes coleslaw.
Lol I love how James mentions touching raw sausage and cleans his hand then less than 5 mins later he puts the hot dog buns right where the raw sausage was on the chopping board cross contamination alert haha love these videos james your a legend
Indeed. Internal screaming.
@@NZAnimeManga lol
I want to see James May and Gordon Ramsey in the same episode lol
Agree - they shouldn't have been on the same board. That bread is contaminated - ugh!
I'm a big fan of James - I'm surprised that he did this.
Yet James,despite his relaxed attitude to cross contamination still appears to be alive and well.
My familynmoved from England to Canada when I was 5 so I was brought up on a mixture of English and North American cuisine. We would have English bangers in a sausage roll with a pile of caramelized onions and HP sauce. We used to look forward to that as a treat fir dinner occassionally while hot dogs were "just another lunch".
Opens a new bottle of HP sauce when an open one is on the shelf behind him, lol
I'm willing to move to London and be the 2nd camera assistant to these skits, just so I can listen to James talk about literally anything.
I'm so happy to see a cooking episode with James and crew again! These are such dry, humorous fun lol
Him asking about the year when it was right on the fridge had me cackling.
James is very delicate when handling food. 👏🏼
Eh, as an Aussie, I can tell you, neither of these compare to a Snag. Ie, a single piece of bred, a single pan fried sausage slapped diagonally across the slice of bred. Slap on some fried onion, rosella tomato sauce slam it in ya gob and call it a day. The best thing ever.
Australian sausages are very basic. Quite enjoyable though.
We call that a Sausage Sizzle here in New Zealand, and I can confirm that they're choice as, aye. Though myself I prefer mustard to tomato sauce on it, but that's just a matter of preference.
@@nintendonut100 Yeah they're called sausage sizzles in Aussie land too, we just like calling the sausages snags for short.
I call that the boom boom room
Ah yes, the classic American hotdog..from a jar🤣
You want a real American winer you buy it in a plastic shrink wrapped pack, lightly seasoned with mictoplastics 👌
His dogs are giant-sized, as well. The size is all wrong.
This is the kind of content I subscribed to this channel for, back when it was still called Foodtribe.
exactly! whats with the rebrand?
Honestly didn't notice until you brought it up
So true, what's next?
@@DonSMDT Same. I mean lets be honest most people only subscribed for Hammond and May so they can do and call it whatever they like really. But the "bunker" vids were what I subscribed for as well
The tribe got lost in the jungle!
0:29 yet another addition to the collection of James may slamming some food on a table and nonchalantly announcing its name!
Watched this with my fiancé last night. He is currently making me Dino’s hotdogs for dinner! That’s true love! 🤣❤️
"I've got an error message on me cooker, what does that mean? Beyond the fact we're in the modern world" Loved it!
Gets hot dogs in jar
Boils hot dog
*Thinks this represents American hot dogs*
making it as boring as possible does represent the American way, yes
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN I grill hotdogs every other week lol, Yankees don’t speak for southern grill enjoyers.
@@froheschwanz if you get a hotdog off a vendor in America it's usually boiled. that's just the instant thing that comes to mind if you say "American hot dog" to someone who is from anywhere else. Also, the hotdogs in a jar were him being nice, cuz they're better than plastic-wrapped ones.
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN it’s a stylistic thing… most of the cheap ones I’m aware of are done on those rollerfriers. Outside of fast food, which is literal trash, the only places I can think of that boil them sometimes are baseball parks… but I’ve gotten fried dogs at some.
They are both excellent and that Yank mustard is actually brilliant for hot dogs
3 words, jalapeño yellow mustard :3
James, next time you make a hotdog, make them up. Mustard, raw onion, beef chili. Delicious.
So nice to see Lucy again and the bugout bunker. Hope there are more vids coming out soon! Cheers.
Back in the bunker,I'm very happy!🙂
Now we need a video of James settling the debate of the correct way to have a proper English brew
Couldn't have thought ever that mustard seeds can be so important in daily life , thanks 👍👍👍
As an American, the way you cut that hot dog bun is akin to treason.
Yet, objectively superior to the way you do it.
Please enlighten us: What species of "american" are you?
It's not a big deal as long as it's connected. Don't flip out too much.
it cant be treason if he's not american it's a war crime
@@raideurng2508 learn sarcasm/satire/irony/hyperbole if you're going to use the internet. Nobody on the internet is serious.
I'm Australian and love snags (sausages) but there is definitely a case to be made for hot dogs fried or bbq'd instead of boiled.. much more flavour
Need to go by Fenway Park in Boston, during Baseball season and get a sausage sandwich from the street cart venders, they are awesome...
Was nice to see this channel get back to form... then we see why at the end. Hope this wasn't just for a plug and we'll be seeing more of this content again.
Real American hot dogs don't come in a jar 🤣. They come in shrink wrapped plastic 🌭 Also the hotdog sticking out of both ends of the bun is actually the American Dream but in reality very rarely happens with your average hotdog
We do here, but you have to go to a well known American warehouse.
“in reality very rarely happens with your average hotdog”
Much like the American Dream.
@@stevegee7593 No you don't, most supermarkets have them.
@@stevegee7593 This is nonsense. You can get them anywhere.
Most american hotdogs nowadays come wrapped in plastic, but originally they came in a jar.
James may IS the dad or grandad in some circumstances and I absolutely adore his delivery and he’s dry wit! :)
I just love this guy. He is the literal spokesperson of my generation. Him and the other two, but in this case, mostly Bim.
Thank you, James, for returning to the bug out bunker and even wearing your classic bunker shirt. Great to also see Lucy and the gang as well, didn't see Tom Whitter though, I hope he's doing well. I hope there's many more of these episodes coming in the future, you should do English vs. American breakfast. The issue with calling it mustard gin and having to rename it was hilarious! 👍
There are many, many amazing hot dogs throughout the country, but the classic "American" hot dog is a short dog (your choice of all beef or blended meats) grilled to just below a char, on a New England style bun with ketchup, mustard, and relish. The backyard barbecue dog
Who would have thought a James May cooking show would be absolutely hilarious.
Who else is with me in wanting a history documentary (s) by James May?
bunker kitchen is the absolute best content this channel has. Please give us more!
Great video. Like many people said, you don’t cut the bun all the way through. The same goes for the sausage, hotdog; cut enough for a “hinge”. Then open it and lay it cut side down first. When you do this, you “butterfly” the sausage or hotdog.
The cut out of James may caught me off guard when he opened the fridge door
I could watch this 24 hours a day and not get sick of it, I don't know what it is about it, but I wish there was more
Lucy Brown is so sweet, and I’m very pleased to see James encouraging her to expand her taste buds.
From Wikipedia
"Garton registered the name H.P. Sauce in 1895, choosing it because he had heard a rumour that a restaurant in the Houses of Parliament had begun serving it."
It was proudly manufactured in Birmingham until the brand was bought by "forriners" and production moved to the Netherlands.
I'm still resentful
Just wanted to say rather anecdotally in reference to the german or polish comment...kielbasa is actually turkish loan word (somewhat bastardized) for kül (meaning coal/ash) and bastı (meaning pressed/formed). Carry on.
American mustard, which we predominantly use here in Canada as well, really just tastes like vinegar. Which does help balance out flavors when matched with sweet ketchup or sweet pickles etc.
French’s is Canadian. American style , but Canadian brand.
@@makattak88 have you tried French's ketchup ? I haven't
@@sianwarwick633 it just tastes like ketchup. Iv only had one brand of ketchup that tasted different from Heinz, and it was some super cheap less than a dollar brand.
We throw no-bean chili, chopped onion, and yellow mustard on ours, in Detroit. (I do dijon, instead.) It's a Greek thing. We call them Coney's after Coney Island NY.
@@sianwarwick633 I found that it is slightly, just a little bit, sweeter than Heinz.
Hallelujah James is back in the bunker
that was the longest mustard gin commercial I've ever seen.
I love watching any videos about sausages.
I love this series I was scared it was gone
As an American, I now know how Uncle Roger feels when he reviews BBC chefs making Asian cuisine.
😂
This one was a huge blunder, all the way around, really.
@@DetroitMicroSound only thing right were the appropriate ketchup and mustard
@@Ashab91 You would be shot at midnight if you even put "ketchup" and "hotdog" in the same sentence in NYC. It's wrong, ketchup belongs at childrens parties and maybe with french fries, that's it.
Haiyaaaaaa!!!
4:15 this madlad just brazenly slaps the bread right where the sausage was just sitting without even a semblance of a care
Did anyone else notice that James already had a bottle of hp on the top of the shelves, next to the oil he grabbed
'Won't do you any harm' - Typhoid May, October 2022.
Slightly triggered that James didn't spot the already opened bottle of HP sauce on the rack behind him at eye level. Also, who the heck splits a hotdog bun all the way through?!
For some reason I now have a hankering for a ballpark hotdog. Thanks James
If ANY other name was at the beginning of this video title I wouldn't have clicked on it. James May.... less than a second and here I am.
I absolutely LOVE the Bugout Bunker cooking episodes, and I need to buy some James Gin.
James, I don’t know if you really understand just how appropriate the re named gin is. Finding a loophole to achieve what you want in spite of the government is so American I am amazed. Bless you
This made me want a hotdog, infact I'm going to Coles to gather the ingredients to make a chilli dog. I found after cutting the hotdog buns, air frying them for a few mins makes them abit crispier and sturdier, sorta toasts them, Whilst leaving them soft throughout.
That's the longest, sneakiest, advertisement that you have come up with so far. Keep up the work.
Could you do a video with James trying to make complicated desserts? Could be quite entertaining 😆
Croquembouche!
or just some MidWest salads, Watergate salad, ambrosia, any of those...
@@janjacobs607 Enlighten me, please! Have never heard of any of these things..... Ambrosia sounds intriguing, and guite delightful.
@@franceshankin2131 lol how about a nice aspic salad too
I’m offended that you didn’t try the Australian way😂. The Bunnings snag is one piece of council bread with basic beef sausage placed diagonally on top of the bread piece. Then on top of that is some grilled onion. Topped with tomato sauce and or mustard. Fold over the opposite corners maki by something that resembles a discount taco and consume
Whoah hold on. Onion underneath for oh&s reasons.
@@jaydenknox6245 mate I'll be stuffed if I let anyone put onion underneath me snag..
They're called toppings for a reason
@Huieee No way mate onion on top the meat and bread needs to touch the palette first.
It's very much the halfway point between the two. Best of both worlds.
@@MotoCat91 why is snag now my favourite word?? 😆
With the main categorization being, "Non Cutlery Dependant". Very clever!
