Jeeves and Wooster is beloved series of both books and British Television. The show ran form the early 1990's and starred Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, and brought to life the P.G. Wodehouse characters of Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves.
We make our very first introduction of these characters finding Wooster to be suffering from a severe hangover, dumbfounded in his flat. His new valet has been dispatched by the agency and immediately sets to the work of crafting an eye opener for our hapless aristocrat. Now, in the books it's quite clear that he makes him a prairie oyster, something of an old hangover staple. The show is a bit more cryptic about things however, featuring Stephen Fry compounding all manner of ingredients into an extremely unappetizing slurry. I produce both versions here for your please. Please do not make the slurry. It will be bad.

On the other hand, not having a profit motive is how Marvel Comics got into its current state.
6:27 Did you add any pepper when making it? Or is that from the Worcestershire sauce?
You love British TV, but you haven't been subjected to the horrors of daytime TV. Jeremy Kyle and Emerdale will sober you up faster than anything ol' Geeves can concoct
Most of us are in lockdown, Mr. Laurie should reply
From the looks I think it's tomato juice, maybe combining a weird Bloody Mary and Prairie Oyster kinda vibe? They're both hangover cures of course
Greg the piano maestro himself, his fingers move so perfectly across it’s almost like there wasn’t a piano there
Almost exactly like that!
In Germany we call such behauviour "Lagerkoller" :-o
truly an inspiration
Torsten Raab Kollege Greg macht Prairie Oyster Variationen. Das ist Lagerkoller over 9000
He definitely practices 40 hours a day to make it look that effortless.
"cocaine"
Ah, we're going into old-timey cures. Excellent.
Gives me “we’ll get you drunk so you don’t feel anything while we amputate your leg, but your blood will still thin out” typa vibes
Read that as 'old-limey cures', still works.
"I have piano back here."
Oh no, he's going mad.
Honestly in these times, he's probably the most sane
@@N3verFam0us He's got booze.
@@ashkitt7719 reasonable
Greg giving full detailed tasting notes on something absolutely terrible is something I didn't know I needed
The drink from the show looked to me like a hybrid of a Prarie Oyster and a Bloody Mary, which would then make it something of a mix between the two common hangover cures and the tomato would give it that reddish color that would brown a bit with the Worcester.
Some prairie use tomato juice.
I was also thinking that it was made with tomato juice based on the color
Red Eye
Yeah that's what I thought
Ah yes! The Prairie Mary!!! I’ve made many!
I was recently very surprised to find that what we call prairie oysters in Canada (steer testicles, usually breaded and deep fried), are known as "Rocky Mountain oysters" in the United States.
As a Canadian I was wondering how bull testicles would be incorporated into a drink
As a Canadian, I've never heard of "Our version" of a prairie oyster. I've only ever heard of the egg version
It was created in America first but meh
I've heard "Prairie Oyster" and "Rocky Mountain Oyster" both.
"as niche as it may be"
"requested a couple of times"
I can't be the only one requesting a Labyrinth/Bowie cocktail.
Cocaine with a cocaine chaser.
@@_skysick_ touch of acid and sweet vermouth
@@paullytle1904 I feel like a Labyrinth cocktail would have to make space for an Absinthe rinse. Do Absinthe and LSD go good together?
A hollowed out red bell pepper, filled with milk and a light dusting of cocaine
@@coolevan631 Some peach liqueur. Jareth poisons Sarah with a hallucinogenic peach.
I giggled at how artfully framed that slow pour was, despite the drink looking like someone juiced a toad. That's some professionalism right there, and determination on top of that, to try and make a drink that looked like someone left their split pea soup out in the rain look good.
I applaud you.
Seeing prairie oyster in the title. Me: "oh...no." clicks immediately.
Yeah, I was worried about the, um... "Rocky Mountain" variety of oyster
@@AnchorJG rocky mountain oyster is a gentleman's delicacy
you guys don't like prairie oysters?
@@zachariahkindle8926 ewwwwwww
there's also the Chef's Oyster, two small round bits of very tense meat in the back of a while chicken, chefs like to keep these bits for themselves after cooking and separating chicken because it's very tasty.
I’ve changed many diapers the exact color of that second prairie oyster.
Ow should I be concerned?
GROSS! TMI!
I hate to say it but you're right
Lol getting old is rough
Some things are better left unsaid.
“It’s called a prairie oyster; great for hangovers”
-Spike
you're gonna carry that weight
Came here looking for a comment like this.
You better not ruin his eggs lmao
greg knows about bebop right?! surprised he didn't show the clip here, woulda been perfect.
See you, Space Cowboy
**Inarticulate hungover croak**
"Very good, sir."
That one had me in stitches, not gonna lie. I've got to watch this show.
Actually so stoked you did this, ever since the Cowboy Bebop episode my whiskey sours come with a Prairie oyster. Can't be wasting that yolk baby!
I think you have cracked the code to the matrix...
This is the answer. The answer!!!
just had this combo; it really does work so well
You sir, are a man of culture.
Every brit shouting at the screen "ADD TOMATO!"
I hate that I read "tomato" with a pompous tea drinking accent
@@claytonkickflip7595 damn it! I did the same, and I'm not a native english speaker 😅
@@claytonkickflip7595 I read it in a Michael Rosen accent.
I was and I'm not even Brit
Add to the list of "prairie oyster" pop culture references below:
Jeeves and Wooster
Cowboy Bebop
Cabaret
Can’t forget Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
Mr. Deeds Goes to Town
Addams Family Values
Heathers
James Bond, Thunderball
A few that just show the character making it without explanation as well.
I always thought he'd put tomato juice in there to give it that redness.
Yeh I kinda got tomato juice vibes too. I think the one in the show leaned more toward a bloody Mary
My thoughts exactly. It seems like a combo of a prarie oyster and a bloody mary. Tomato I think would be the key
Exactly so.
Most definitely, tomato gets in there somewhere.
Yes, sir, tomato juice. Or Clamato in Canada.
"The secret ingredient is cocaine" i knew there was a reason why Greg was so energetic... I'm ready to make this drink now 🤣
Book Prairie Oyster: Ooh, delightful! Refreshing! I like that a lot!
Show Prairie Oyster: *gazes off into distance, full of regret*
A version of this my grandfather made had tomato juice and hot sauce in it in addition to all of the ingredients you've used above (minus the cinnamon.) He would toss the yoke in at the end. It would explain the volume seen in the tv clip. Might give that a go?
So much gold in this episode
"Look, England. You do this to a lot of words... There are letters here. Those letters form syllables... That's a whole word"
Best though were the instructions on how to make the second variation lol XD
@Joe S I just toss all of that out the window and say "Wor chester shire"
@Joe S I know it's been a month, but I really need to know how to say pasta now.
Even though I'm quitting drinking for health reasons, I still adore this show!
I would say that it looked like there was a bit of tomato juice in the slurry.
oh yeah absolutely, that was my first thought, looked more like a bloody mary
Absolutely, my thought exactly
Tomato juice plus probably a healthier egg, that's more orange than yellow
David Wong the color isn’t about the health of the egg, it about what the chicken is fed. In America we get really yellow egg yolks because we feed our chickens corn and marigolds. In some other countries they mix some chili powder in there, giving it that orange color.
In the interwar period and even now, (very rare) we also have a "Polish oyster". But we in Poland did it in much different way :D The recepie would be:
"glass of sour cream (english is my second language, but it asks for it to be greasy?), two egg yolks, a bit (25ml?) of olive oil and juice from 2 lemons and then chew on some coffe beans"
Try that xD
The first time I heard of this was Cowboy Bebop.
he did a video about the cowboy bebop one
He has a cowboy Bebop episode which shows Spikes Prairie Oyster, Faye's vodka toddy and Jet's Cowboy.
Check it out!
Ah, I see that you're a man of culture as well
Same. That was my first time too.
Same.
If you think you'll like Jeeves and Wooster,then you'll love Blackadder and Fry and Laurie.
I practically fell out of my chair at "he was reluctant to divulge the recipe....it could be cocaine"
It was the 80’s.
@@travishabursky4362 the show was made in the 80s, but was set in an era when cocaine was in common use. Sherlock Holmes used it between cases. It was even the base ingredient in the original recipe for Coca-Cola. You had to have known that.
3 minutes in, I check the video description and found the recipe. Paused the video and made it, I actually really liked it and feel more awake now. I didn't do it for a hangover, I don't drink. I just didn't sleep last night.
I know everyone's telling you this but -
Greggles, it's rusty red. It's a savory drink. Tomato sauce, friend.
If one were going to do this in the US it would probably be best to use a pasteurized egg. Your work is awesome. Thank you for the channel.
The version in the show looks like a Bloody Mary. Maybe the secret ingredient is Tomato Juice?
That's exactly what I was thinking! It sounds delicious too
Perhaps Clamato for extra fishyness.
Yes, my first introduction to prairie oysters was based on a Bloody Mary.
Or, as the young lady who made it called it, "a full breakfast". It was delightful.
That was my thought as well. I was surprised he didn't start with tomato juice, and even more surprised he didn't come across the idea when considering how to make it become rust-coloured!
That was my thinking too.
Can you do a "What is Vermouth?" episode? Seriously, what is vermouth?
Also, if a recipe calls for just "vermouth" does it mean dry or sweet, or is there a middle one?
The answer is yes
Recipes will tell you which one to go for. A Manhattan, Negroni, Boulevardier are usually going to use Sweet Vermouth, which one is a matter of taste I quite like Carpano Antica Vermouth but Dolin has a nice one as well. For dry Vermouth it's usually called for in a Martini, White Negroni, and a few other cocktails.
"I'm not so good at not getting [the egg] all over my hand anyway"
I would never guess that Greg, the spill-master, the pianist extraordinaire, would have trouble separating egg whites.
The more i look at it, the more i feel there has to be tomato juice in it so it's kind of like a bloody mary/prairie oyster mix
I'm pretty sure there is because Worcestershire sauce is more brown so something like tomato sauce or something give that red
Thought you were gonna make the prairie oyster part of your daily regiment when you did the Cowboy Bebop episode
Ever since I saw this video, I regularly crave these. I have been doing half shot of tequila, egg yolk, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, tobasco in a shot glass, garnished w/ bacon (i keep cooked refrigerated in fridge for recipes)
This morning though my throat was a little scratchy, because i was actually hung over and not drinking raw eggs just for fun, i wanted to skip the tobasco so i made in a rocks glass:
Half shot maple syrup
Half shot Captain Morgan Orange Vanilla Twist ( now stir vigorously)
Separated Egg Yolk
Salt
Pepper
The memory of bacon (none in fridge)
It was a delicious breakfast shot, if you find the harshness of the tobasco unappealing but want to drink raw eggs, this is a great drink. You could probably even add more of the rum. I would've had a second or third to clarify, but my first was the last of my eggs.
NEW SHOW.... "Is This Safe to Drink!" Oh Greg....
brian mackenzie “Safe to Drink?”
"Abandon all hope" as part of the recipe for the Slurry Oyster at the end got me.
The drink he gave Hugh looked more like a bloody Mary
Yeah I was thinking it looked like it might have had some tomato juice or something
I am a HUGE fan of prairie oysters. Been making them for nearly 12 years for when I am in need of a morning kick in the pants (whether it's because of a hangover or just lack of sleep) and it works nearly every time.
If you like the Jeeves character and stories there is a podcast called "The Classic Tales" podcast where a professional voice actor reads public domain stories and "the inimitable jeeves" is one of them. It was a super popular series back in it's day.
Thank you SO MUCH for this recommendation! I've just found my new favourite podcast 🥰
Yack! You serve your viewers so admirably!
Greg, beautiful use of Eddie Izzard. I salute you, sir.
Being from Wyoming, it's nice to see the prairie oyster being discussed. From memory this was a well known solution to the first time a city slicker tried Snipe Hunting and Rocky Mountain Oysters the night before...
Raised in the States and having lived in the UK for the last 20 years, it took some time to crack words like Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. The latter being best described as war-stir-sure and the latter gloss-stir-sure.
Don't ask, it was done before any of us were born so no one knows and they'll just go on about the language being theirs (I'm gonna go on a limb by saying possession is 9/10ths of the law)
The secret ingredient was most likely tomato juice. This would be a cross of a bloody mary and a prairie oyster but would give the desired colour maybe?
The Fry and Laurie duo is always great. You should check out A Bit of Fry and Laurie too.
LOL 😆
If that whole drinking show thing falls through, at least Greg has his piano playing skills to fall back on 🤣
Damn....you had me for a sec with the piano bit.
Was ABOUT to recommend you to friends....
Now I'm DEFINITELY going to.
Could it not be a tomato juice that makes it so red? A prarie oyster mixed with a bloody Mary.
Watching Greg and getting inspired is living on the edge lol. Egg yolk and tomato juice sounds like it would need alot of salt and booze and I think that would be better for begining a night of drinking instead of a morning of recovery
@@dakotapatterson3436 it sounds like I should be having a bowl of it hot with some nice toast instead of adding liquor to it.
A bit late to the party, but when i was learning to become a catering service specialist, the recipe we were given was in a shot glass, 1 egg yolk, salt, black pepper, few drops of tobasco, and top with vodka. I have used it since and whileni hate vodka, i actually hatw vodka, but when the next morning comes, this works great
Ah man...anyone else miss the internet days of AskJeeves??
No.
it was the first internet search engine I ever used, when I was nine in 2002.
I loved askjeeves
I applaud your sacrifices for your art... and control of your gag factor..!
When I watched the show I always thought that it was some strange Prairie Oyster - Bloody Mary amalgam due to the red colour
You're videos are absolutely phenomenal sir, keep up the good work. I've thoroughly enjoyed each one.
prarie oyster means something different where I come from Greg, glad you didn't have to eat those!
I thought I was the only one thinking that
Fun story about prairie oysters: when I was in high school, I played Cliff in the school theater production of Cabaret. Obviously, being high schoolers, we didn't have very refined palates for alcohol or eye-openers, so a prairie oyster sounded like the grossest thing we'd ever heard of.
The first time we went to dress rehearsal, I finally got the prop flask for the prairie oyster, which actually had some liquid in it. I foolishly assumed it was coke, because of the color. I was wrong. First time running the scene, I take a swig, and it turns out to be coffee. Cold, old coffee. I don't like coffee to begin with, but cold and stale is particularly odious. I don't know if they just put coffee in there and forgot about it for a few days, or if the coffee had been sitting in there literally since the last show where they used the prop, potentially months.
In any case, it was disgusting in every way possible, and I'm standing there trying not to retch, while my next line is supposed to be, "It's delicious!" I struggled a little bit with that delivery. Luckily it was just the dress rehearsal. Fortunately, the prop was filled with coke for every run after that.
Love the show hope you are staying safe :)
Your videos bring me so much joy! I loved seeing you transform from bartender Greg into barista Greg, with the music change and everything. I love coffee and Trade seems very affordable, placed my first order with the link.
Who else is yelling(out loud or in your head) "TOMATO JUICE!!!!"
So many people, including me, lol
We need a follow up
My theory as since it is in a pitcher, is a sort of morning drink, and most importantly red, I really think he made a sort of Bloody Mary but combined with a Prairie Oyster. I really think this makes the most given everything contextually. What do you think Greg?
With some professional experience under my belt, I would venture a guess towards essentially a Bloody Mary flip
I was thinking it was a Bloody Mary poured over a Prairie Oyster. It doesn't sound disgusting like the second one. XD
I love Jeeves and Wooster. They used to play it on PBS back in the 90's.
This sounds like a tutorial for finding bad eggs.
Jeeves and Wooster is a DAMN hoot. Probably one of my top 5 favorite shows.
I always thought "a pinch of hot pepper" referred to hot pepper sauce, like a splash of Tabasco or the like.
As for the drink in the show, I always thought they'd cheated a dark Bloody Mary into Laurie's hands...
Fun episode, thanks! :D
You can use hot sauce or pepper powder/flakes. There's not really one way to make a prairie oyster.
@@keiskay Certainly. My comment was in reference to the "recipe" as stated in the book, not an admonishment on "the right way" to make the drink.
I feel like I'm in crazy town because to me it looks so clear they use tomato juice but I feel like no one is seeing it
lol i have been a pianist since 2011 and hat brought a smile to my face your videos intro
My thinking on the color was like a tomato juice
I clicked "like" because I like Greg, I love Fry & Laurie, and I love Jeeves & Wooster. I see no need to drink either version, thanks.
I drink pretty much exclusively beer (craft beer, mind you, but beer) and I LOVE this channel. Your down-to-earth, dry humor is positively hilarious.
You almost make me want to try mixed drinks.
Almost.
*cracks open another IPA*
British Television has a profit motive...
Granted, they definitely don't let it get in the way nearly somuch as we do on this side of the pond.
Egads I share your love of British television. IT Crowd for life.
For anyone wondering Worcestershire sauce is prononunced WUSS-ter-sher.
Americans tend to automatically break down the word into the wrong syllables (which is understandable, because it's a bit weird. It actually breaks down like this:
1. Worce - (wuss)
2. ster
3. shire (sher)
NOT
1. Wor
2. ces
3. ter
4. shire.
(even though the second one appears to make more sense, place names in the UK often break down like this).
Odd, we always refered to antelope balls as Prairie Oysters. The lowland version of Rocky Mountain oysters
Gregory Underwood funnily enough, here in Canada we don't call bull testicles Rocky Mountain oysters - we call them prairie oysters!
Y'all ready for a testy-festy?
As an interesting note, the vast majority of chicken eggs here in the UK are marked with a special red stamp which denotes that they have been tested and are safe to consume raw. The NHS even makes a point of listing stamped eggs (which all but the very lowest class are) as being safe for "infants, children, pregnant women and the elderly" to eat raw. To my knowledge most of Europe has a similar system. In university I had an American friend who I remember being very surprised that we had no problem consuming Prairie Oysters, raw cake batter, etc.
Fantastic episode though, and really loving the Twitch streams too!
idk if youve picked up the final fantasy 7 remake yet, but i'd love to see your take on a cosmo canyon and/or potion juice
Oh, I'm incredibly curious to see what makes a Cosmo Canyon. Ruby color but very translucent -- grenadine? Vodka or gin. And... there's gotta be something else.
Just realised this was uploaded on my birthday, cheers!
You should take advantage of the hype surrounding this whipped coffee drink and make a dalgono cocktail.
The fucking tasting notes got me the floor needing hip surgery from laughing lmao. Love those, they're hilarious and adorable.
I like that so many of us apparently thought-yelled at Greg "TOMATO JUICE!"
While he is dropping the egg white into the bowl one of the bottles is Yorkshire Relish, which is similar to modern HP Sauce. They had a fruit based version back then similar to the green label "Fruity" HP Sauce. While he is stirring the picture, one of the green cans is "black pepper" and the other says "capsimum" which is red pepper. The cinnamon is an old "Safe Owl" brand tin.
I can see how the spelling of Worcestershire can throw you until you've heard it pronounced once or twice, but it's not like it's actually hard to say. Worcester is pronounced "wooster" (just like Leicester is pronounced "lester"). Shire is "sheer", but you can skip that part if you want (Worcester being the city in Worcestershire where the sauce is made). So just say Wooster Sauce and get on with your life.
Yes but the thing you’re missing is that you’re all wrong
@@howtodrink Yeah, there's always that.
Worcester is actually pronounced something more like ‘wuster’ rather than anything else, and shire is pronounced like a lot like ‘sher’
So it’s pronounced ’wuster-sher’
Source: I live in Worcestershire
Imma call it "worshehstershayer sauz".
Andreas Karlsson finally someone who actually knows how it’s pronounced! Are you English?
The stalling before drinking that foul grey slurry was hilarious. You, Sir, are a champion.
The drink on the show looked like it was probably made with tomato juice
I am 100% a Prairie Oyster Convert using this books version you've used here. It's wicked good and fantastic as a quick cure-all for low energy as a quick pick-me-up
The one in the show looked like it just had tomato juice in it.
The piano thing was super cool!
Oh, I thought you meant Canadian prairie oysters.
I had the same thought. That would be a whole different video
I always have to think about the context when people mention this 'drink', growing up just outside the Rockies does that
Buddy of mine used to work at a bar during college. Needless to say my friends and I spent an inordinate amount of time there. Used to try all sorts of crazy drinks. A popular one was the Silver Gin Fizz which requires egg whites. The lady folk who would hang with us were always grossed out and worry about salmonella and what not. In response we did some lengthy research (and by lengthy I mean a quick google search). Come to find out, your changes of being infected with salmonella is 1/20,000 raw eggs. Bottom line, nothing to worry about when consuming raw eggs. To put that in perspective you'd need to consume a dozen RAW eggs every day for 4 four and half years to ingest salmonella.
Prairie oyster means something a little different in Canada...
It means that here, too, except for the hangover cure. It's both. Just remember that context is everything when asking for one.
Well done Greg. A couple of my favorite actors. An interesting combination. Thank you sir!!
You’re mad about Worcestershire being pronounced “Wuster-sheh”? Tell that to the Norfolk town Happisburgh, pronounced “Hays-buruh” 😂
im sorry, brits maybe inventes the language but theyre doing something fucking wrong
Featherstonehaugh is somehown pronounced FAN-shaw
In my state we have Natchitoches, pronounced "Nackatish." Thank the French and First Nations people for that one.
I had my doubts, but a couple times in the past year when the night got away from me and I had a terrible hangover the next morning, a prairie oyster did truly seem to help dial back the horror enough to, typically, let me get back to sleep where the misery goes away haha.
It's pronounced "Wuster-sheer" mate.
or just wuster - LIKE THE NAME OF THE MAKER lol
The man says "Ahrange." Sometimes you just have to pick your battles.
He pretty much got it spot on first time at 5:38. It actually made my eyebrows raise involuntarily, because it was the best effort I've ever heard from someone from the US
In the tv show version, we see Jeeves mixing the beverage in a small jug. Although he serves Bertie a small glass of only a few ounces, it would seem that he prepares quite a lot more. As we don’t get to see the entire preparation process, I think that it’s not beyond the bounds of reason that there’s a few ounces of TOMATO JUICE in the mix. This, along with the Worcestershire sauce, would give the brown colouring. Additionally, tomato juice features in other ‘hair of the dog’ remedies, such as the Bloody Mary. As to Hugh not wanting to drink raw egg, it bears mentioning that, due to the rigours of filming a tv show, many takes are often needed. He would have therefore been required to drink SEVERAL raw eggs. Neither healthy, nor desirable.
The first Worcester was right, I live in Worcester and its pronounced “wo-ster-shear”
You’ve got a point there
I love how this one is uncensored
Also honestly the thing he made just looks like a Bloody Mary
A prairie oyster reminds me of a quail egg shooter. Both are normally non-alcoholic, both have an egg, both are meant to be chugged instantly, both have that undeniable kick to them. I sure know I always look forward to the quail egg shooter drinking contest between my friends at the end of sushi night, wakes you up from that food coma real good for the drive home.
Tomato juice my friend. remember why the Bloddy marry was created.
I hail from Worcestershire england and can confirm... 'Wuh stuh shuh sauce'
You actually kinda nailed it first time you said it! We tend to only pronounce 'shire' as 'shy - er' when its not at the end of a word (if that makes sense)
Otherwise most people pronouce shire as 'shur'
(There are a lot of shires in England - parts of Worcestershire and the adjacent county of Herefordshire were inspiration for the Shire in Tolkein's books)
Look, America, there are letters here: G-R-A-H-A-M crackers. Those letters form syllables.
This is my favorite episode so far. Absolutely love it.
