    James May’s gin has been flying off the virtual shelves since its launch last year, but he isn’t resting on his laurels, and has been grafting behind the scenes to take things to the next level. Harking back to the days of ‘Navy Strength’ gin, James takes a lighter to a more intense version of his gin to see if it passes the age-old test.

    Every advert should include James May doing science experiments. The benefits would be twofold: 1. More content from Mr. May, and; 2. Fewer total adverts, since there's only so much of Mr. May and he's quite picky. Wining proposition, as far as I'm concerned.

    Mr. May aka James. You had a terrific tv show with Oz Clarke about wine and drinking for Britain. In that drinking for Britain, you bought a piece of land from some wine guy. My question is, since your idea was to grow "beer" in that plot of land, Have you grown "beer" there and if so, will that be used to brew beer and served in your pub? I need answers for this so I will keep commenting this same question for all the videos in foodtribe.

I do have an unopened bottle of Rock Rose that still needs to be tried, but I'm sure it to will fall short.

    If yall do more of the Tribers' Sandos I got a great recipe that isn't exactly a Sandwich but it is a great Soft Taco. Although you NEED Black Beans for it but the ingredients are as followed:
    Mushrooms
    Can of Black Beans
    1 Yellow Onion
    Some Garlic
    Optionally some sliced Rare Steak
    Basically just slice all the veg and throw it into a pan and saute a bit until it all starts to caramelize and then add Drained Black Beans to the pan and then put in Tortilla and eat. (Optionally could add the Sliced Steak into the Taco)
