When I moved to the UK, I mistakenly thought salad cream was mayo. I think I bought it to make egg and mayo sandwiches too, or perhaps potato salad. It was disgusting.
After viewing this, I went out to the supermarket (I live in Australia), found a jar of Salad Cream (made in my home country of New Zealand, I'd have thought it would be made in the UK), and assembled myself an egg and Salad Cream sandwich. Fair to say; it was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Thanks James, and Food Tribe. 👍
If you have mayonnaise in New Zealand, add just a small pinch of salt and pepper with a pinch of sugar or sweetener. If your feeling like you need more flavor; onion powder, chopped chives, and some garlic powder in small doses.
Uninterested. Disinterested implies they didn't have shares in a salad cream or sandwich spread factory. Both were Heinz products so the could both be both disinterested and uninterested.
As an American, is it odd that May is my favorite of the Top Gear 3? Guy is just delightful. The seemingly endless comments of people saying they could watch him talk about nothing for hours are pretty accurate. He’s just an interesting character. Hope all these Tribe ventures work out 👌🏼
I do my egg salad with mayo but I agree James May is one or the best out of the three top gear guys the other IMHO is the little guy can't think of his name at the moment.
I was born in 2001. Every single one of the sandwiches James has made, I have had. I cannot understand how someone born in 1998 has not tried any of this!
They didn’t have parents who made it for them or taught them how most likely. While not the same ingredients, my mom taught me how to make a great deal of the sandwiches James makes and I’ve experimented with my own.
I'm 21, my dad is 57. I grew up on all of this 70s food and love it to bits. I also made airfix model Spitfires as a child and have seen all the ww2 classic films like battle of Britain and a bridge too far.
I'm 22, my dad is 70, and whilst I grew up to excellent war films, my dad actually believes in proper food so never made me these kind of detestable sandwiches.

She seems so out of the loop to regular people that my assumptions are more than fair. Unless I'm proven otherwise, of course.
@@HenrikoMagnifico not eating sandwiches and being in your first job is not enough to be privileged and coddled. She doesn’t just “hang around with James May”, she clearly has actual duties and jobs, she’s not actually meant to be on camera, and besides, James May is hardly the peak of celebrity stardom, she’s not exactly privileged to be hanging around eating egg sandwiches with perhaps the most normal British television personality out there.

Since the guessing was on what was in that spread, I hade to look it up. Wikipedia goes: Heinz Sandwich Spread is a blend of salad cream and relish popular in the Netherlands and Britain. It is classified by the manufacturer as a sauce or relish. The relish ingredients are carrots, celery, gherkins, red peppers and mustard in a finely diced spreadable form. Main ingredient: Salad cream.
I was born 2 years after Lucy and I associate more with James than her; everyone I knew growing up had these classic sandwiches for packed lunches. How on Earth she has never tried an egg sandwich before is beyond me.
I haven't either, but that is because I'm an Asian American whose diet rarely consists of bread, salad dressing, or sandwich spread. The closet thing we have to an egg sandwich is a steamed Chinese bun with egg.
If you thought I meant something other than I found this, and May’s reaction, the funniest part of the video, you have the wrong end of the stick. My only question is, which white wine would you serve with this sandwich? Inquiring minds from California want to know.
Even as a 90's/2000's kid, I ate pretty much everything James has put on this series, from crisp butties to peanut butter sandwiches. It's not a Generation Z thing to not do all this, but it is a shame to think that James will see Lucy as a representation of Gen Z.
I mean everyone is different too. I was born 1990 and I have seen The Battle of Britain and my tastes and dress mirror James more than Lucy. I will say also I was brought up in the Midwest so being stuck in the past is sort of our prerogative. I took a lot of my taste from that upbringing, but also broke away from a lot of it as well. I think it brings a lot of advantages and older people take to me far better than most of my generation, which is advantageous for me.
It's more of a social class thing than a Generation Z thing. James mentions that Lucy is more posh, and the fact she usually eats takeaways is indicative of how she doesn't have to worry about money. Meanwhile, a working class family will have to make every single cent count, which means being creative with what foods they can afford.
People give Lucy too much hate just because she doesn't fit into the same group as middle aged men. They just need to accept that she has different opinions on food and respect it.
I am, in fact, having an egg sandwich today for lunch. I've basically eaten these things all my life, and really can't remember a time when I didn't. Chopping up the egg is also so much easier if you do it in the bowl with a fork.
I got my dad's toaster. It's from his bachelor days. He's been married to my mum for three decades. I think I'm going to get electrocuted one of these days.
This is still my favorite sandwich. Perhaps it is because I am almost 80 years old. I live in Canada, but grew up in the Netherlands. I make it with Mayo or Miracle whip. I then add either chopped Onion or Chives in season. When purchased from commercial establishments, they tend to use chopped Celery.
I don't know what Miracle whip is. It isn't available in the UK. Also we don't say mayo as that name is reserved for a DJ called Simon or a county in Ireland. Onions or chives sounds good.
At the exact moment May fumbled the salad cream, I knocked my fork off my plate, spilling a bit of food, as I was wiping up the bit I spilled I heard May and the crew laughing about his fumble. I had to rewind a bit to see what May had done, as I was in the process of fumbling at the same time. There was bedlam for a moment.
I’m a 98, I cook our dinner almost every night. I make a salad cream & mayo egg sandwich at least once a week and I am so disappointed that she was the representative for our generation😂 we don’t all have the just eat tab open 24/7 P.s how can someone NOT like sandwich spread it’s soooo good😍
Most deli egg sandwiches have more to it than that. Paprika, chives, etc. Mayo. I've never seen salad cream in the US. But almost every deli has a tub of egg salad ready to go. So clearly people still eat it.
"Go to work on a egg" was the advice given in the 70s and then Edwina came along and put the fear of "salmonella" into the mix. Sandwich spread and salad cream two underrated condiments.
I guess that is the difference between England and Australia... My mother used to make egg sandwiches for us and she mashed the eggs with butter, using a fork, so then it would spread nicely on the bread. Usually served with lettuce in the sanga as well. If she felt like living life on the edge, she'd put a little curry powder in with the egg! And, TRIANGLE sandwiches are LIFE!!!
That’s making me feel hungry. Reminds me of holidays walking in Wales, Sandwich Spread Egg sandwiches with garibaldi biscuits for pudding - or a plain club if we’d been very good. Happy days.
I never buy them in a shop because they always put celery in them and I don't like that. I feels like there are egg shells in the sandwich. I don't like things with a consistency clash.
@@cgirl111 Yeah, most places put other crap in them, I like mine pretty basic. One sandwich chain had a good one, but dropped egg salad from the menu, and there was a cafe that did a perfect job, not too much mayo, light salt and pepper, I even complemented the clerk for doing it right.
Yeah, that's some circa 1990 homeless styling on Lucy. Did she just roll in from a hard night partying, doing the walk of shame into work? That's the only reason wear a baseball cap in doors.
The editing is stellar on this one. And I'm increasingly convinced that James is Lucy's father.

We have something similar in Sweden but it is sold in tubes, but tastes as close to Heinz as I've tasted when I can't get the real thing.

Partially?
Do you post this on every video involving James May and food? It's like you just made a comment for no other reason than trying to get upvotes

When she sharpened James knife I thought he was going to strangle her
Because she didn't sharpen it at all, she ruined it.
Vidar Haarr give a gen Z a knife for 5 seconds and they’ll ruin your knife. Here’s the proof.
If the angle was right he'd have been very happy. It wasn't.
I’m concerned that she hasn’t made a sandwich for 10 years because she’s having take out but she thinks she can sharper a knife 😂😂
If we really want to be proper, it's honing the knife, not sharpening. I would use the proper angle, but I'm not sure it's really that vital.
This is like if James May had a daughter, and he raised her in his Man Lab.
If he had a daughter, she would know how to turn wrenches and maybe still have grease under her nails.

I was born 2 years after Lucy and I associate more with James than her; everyone I knew growing up had these classic sandwiches for packed lunches.
How on Earth she has never tried an egg sandwich before is beyond me.
Egg food poisoning is no joke, and egg salad sandwiches are bottom tier lunch items
I haven't either, but that is because I'm an Asian American whose diet rarely consists of bread, salad dressing, or sandwich spread. The closet thing we have to an egg sandwich is a steamed Chinese bun with egg.
@@arthurfine4284 Egg sandwiches are probably the most popular sandwiches in Japanese convinience stores.
Same here mate. I'm Lucy's age but have very different food preferences. But then, I'm not a fussy eater and will eat and enjoy a variety of food.
@@Adi-Dassler Japanese are not the only Asians, so as a Chinese person (I’m assuming based on the Chinese bun comment) he prolly hadn’t had it.
It's really important to sharpen the knife before slicing up boiled eggs. I'm glad you remembered to include that.
I'm not even sure it was necessary to chop the eggs, since you're about to whip them up with a fork.
did she clear the metal peels of the knife after sharpening?
just shows how useless people my age are 😭 never making a sandwich in ten years smh. I made some mean sandwiches when I was 9 😌
To bad the technique is completely wrong and looked like she only did it on one side☹️
If you thought I meant something other than I found this, and May’s reaction, the funniest part of the video, you have the wrong end of the stick. My only question is, which white wine would you serve with this sandwich? Inquiring minds from California want to know.
Even as a 90's/2000's kid, I ate pretty much everything James has put on this series, from crisp butties to peanut butter sandwiches. It's not a Generation Z thing to not do all this, but it is a shame to think that James will see Lucy as a representation of Gen Z.
I mean everyone is different too. I was born 1990 and I have seen The Battle of Britain and my tastes and dress mirror James more than Lucy. I will say also I was brought up in the Midwest so being stuck in the past is sort of our prerogative. I took a lot of my taste from that upbringing, but also broke away from a lot of it as well. I think it brings a lot of advantages and older people take to me far better than most of my generation, which is advantageous for me.
It's more of a social class thing than a Generation Z thing. James mentions that Lucy is more posh, and the fact she usually eats takeaways is indicative of how she doesn't have to worry about money. Meanwhile, a working class family will have to make every single cent count, which means being creative with what foods they can afford.
People give Lucy too much hate just because she doesn't fit into the same group as middle aged men. They just need to accept that she has different opinions on food and respect it.
'90s / 2000s **
@@HistoricBlock84 Wouldn't say it was hate, but more disbelief that she hasn't made a sandwich in over a decade and lives off of take away food.
After the last video, I went out and bought some Branston pickle and cheese.
Welcome to the world 👍
Same here 😂
I bought a rotary cheese grater. I wonder if it'll get used for anything else..
In work and hungry now.
I got the sandwich spread and it is FANTASTIC!
I remember this for my lunch back in the day. Add a packet of crisps for a texture and flavour combination. Fantastic 👍😀
I am, in fact, having an egg sandwich today for lunch. I've basically eaten these things all my life, and really can't remember a time when I didn't. Chopping up the egg is also so much easier if you do it in the bowl with a fork.
Yep, the way she chopped at that egg was hard to watch LOL
In Australia you can buy egg & lettuce sandwiches at any 711.
@@ragereset2795 This is true at any 7/11 tho.
@@ragereset2795 That may be, but it wil have mayo in it, not salad cream. Mayo is too bland to make a difference to an egg sarnie.
@@susi-emily l can’t argue with that. Say hello to the Banshees for me.
An egg salad sandwich taste test might be the most on brand thing James May has ever done.
Chad boomer sandwich vs the virgin zoomer take away.

Looooooaser.
I got one egg-slicer (from my parents), it's older than me and still works perfectly!
Me too, it's from 1995 and still does the job
I've got a real old one, don't even know the year, that's broke a few times and I just keep fixing it lol.
I looked for ours from 70s at the earliest. Sadly, my folks must have tossed it. It was quite handy!
I got my dad's toaster. It's from his bachelor days. He's been married to my mum for three decades. I think I'm going to get electrocuted one of these days.
This is still my favorite sandwich. Perhaps it is because I am almost 80 years old. I live in Canada, but grew up in the Netherlands. I make it with Mayo or Miracle whip. I then add either chopped Onion or Chives in season. When purchased from commercial establishments, they tend to use chopped Celery.
That actually sounds rather nice
It would be mine too, if it wasn’t so infrequently that I get myself organised enough to cook eggs ahead of time.
I don't know what Miracle whip is. It isn't available in the UK. Also we don't say mayo as that name is reserved for a DJ called Simon or a county in Ireland.
Onions or chives sounds good.
Love that sarnies of the 70s is just James torturing Lucy brown with food she doesn't like
Hospital issue white bread 😂😂😂😂😂😂 , army issued bread , government issued bread 😂😂😂😂😂
all taste equally terrible
Govt cheese anyone?
I'm surprised he didn't say council house bread 😂
IS this even bread..? or is it like the "ersatz" dairy free cheese... which shouldn't be allowed to be called cheese
@@AnnaPondelik-wb2gnit's 'toast bread' which has more in common with cake but yes
Mate I'm 16 and I love sandwich spread I've been having it all my life
Same I’ve been having em for years since primary school I’m also 16
2 James May videos in 1 day, keep up the good work!
The sound of James chewing is a level of ASMR that I was not prepared for.
At the exact moment May fumbled the salad cream, I knocked my fork off my plate, spilling a bit of food, as I was wiping up the bit I spilled I heard May and the crew laughing about his fumble. I had to rewind a bit to see what May had done, as I was in the process of fumbling at the same time. There was bedlam for a moment.
Reminds me of when James tried the V8 Beef Bovril Smoothie
"I think he likes it"
The bloody awful
TIL James May thinks one chicken lays the whole carton of eggs
It depends on the chicken and the carton. lol
i do too
He also thought eggs come from cows at one point
I can have the worst day possible and I can watch literally anything by the trio and instantly be happy again
Yeah me too :(
oh come on... black pepper makes everything "ooohh"
I can smell those egg sandwiches thru the screen... oh wait - that’s my Spanish Greyhound farting...
Regan Mahoney underrated comment
They eggs only smell if they are not fresh.
@@trafficone2008 fresh or not they have a distinct smell
@@trafficone2008 no you can smell eggs, they just smell bad if they are not fresh.
that feeling when someone 2 years younger than you gets to make food with James May
Someone give the editor a raise. They made this one so much better. The tear on Lucy’s cheek(10:38) had me ROLLING!!
The way she cut those sandwiches.
What a monster D:
Oh good Gods thank you, I am not the only one who is bothered by that. lol
I was waiting for James to say "you've cut it the wrong way".
@@remyllebeau77 that's how james always cuts them for tom and it boggles my mind.

I’m a 98, I cook our dinner almost every night. I make a salad cream & mayo egg sandwich at least once a week and I am so disappointed that she was the representative for our generation😂 we don’t all have the just eat tab open 24/7
P.s how can someone NOT like sandwich spread it’s soooo good😍
98? Wow! Life expectancy has gone up...
You look remarkably young for your age.
Single?
Nah boiled egg is girm haha i love fried egg tho
"Excellent"... "Managing expectations".... "Expensive"... James, your self-discipline is utterly commendable!
This is important research the world needs to know.
Hmm, I'm gen z as well and the last time I made a sandwich was about 9 hours ago.
Same haha
Clearly she's paid too much and spends it on expensive takeaway crap wait to see her arse in 10 yrs.
@@markc6714 Alright mate, chill out.
@@TheTrooper115 I'm just fine
I’m literally eating a sandwich I made while watching this
I'm a millennial and I love egg salad sandwiches. They're delicious.
I make them all the time in the summer time when I'm working outside.
Same, though I've never had one with Salad Cream before, I've had it with Mayo and one with Aioli but not yet Salad Cream
Most deli egg sandwiches have more to it than that. Paprika, chives, etc. Mayo. I've never seen salad cream in the US. But almost every deli has a tub of egg salad ready to go. So clearly people still eat it.
The James May shaking a container face... a thing of perfection!
"Go to work on a egg" was the advice given in the 70s and then Edwina came along and put the fear of "salmonella" into the mix.
Sandwich spread and salad cream two underrated condiments.
I guess that is the difference between England and Australia... My mother used to make egg sandwiches for us and she mashed the eggs with butter, using a fork, so then it would spread nicely on the bread. Usually served with lettuce in the sanga as well. If she felt like living life on the edge, she'd put a little curry powder in with the egg! And, TRIANGLE sandwiches are LIFE!!!
May shaking that bottle of salad cream is a total mood.
when Lucy doubles over at James fumbling the salad cream, you know she's just thinking "give me strength."
Sandwich spread. I haven't had that in years. Now I have to go and get. Thank you for the memories
That’s making me feel hungry. Reminds me of holidays walking in Wales, Sandwich Spread Egg sandwiches with garibaldi biscuits for pudding - or a plain club if we’d been very good. Happy days.
Over in Canada, we still eat egg salad sandwiches. I bought one in a restaurant in 2019.
Canada rocks....no Lurpak though.
I love a good egg salad, one of the first foods I learned to make. But we never had salad cream, just mayo.
I never buy them in a shop because they always put celery in them and I don't like that. I feels like there are egg shells in the sandwich. I don't like things with a consistency clash.
@@cgirl111 Yeah, most places put other crap in them, I like mine pretty basic. One sandwich chain had a good one, but dropped egg salad from the menu, and there was a cafe that did a perfect job, not too much mayo, light salt and pepper, I even complemented the clerk for doing it right.
They are sold in UK supermarkets every day.
For James May, Lucy is like a Daughter figure. 😀 I like the way he makes her change perspective.
The awkward moment when James is dressed the best
Hahahahaha. Yesh, that actually is awkward
Yeah, that's some circa 1990 homeless styling on Lucy.
Did she just roll in from a hard night partying, doing the walk of shame into work? That's the only reason wear a baseball cap in doors.
You came for this 4:15 Imagine you´re on a horror trip smoking that awful weed, want to calm yourself down with some cooking videos and this happens.
When James May says eat the sammich, you eat the sammich.
Finally a cooking show with recipes I can follow. Made me hungry for an egg sandwich!
