  • James May is back in the kitchen, and this time he's cooking with gin!
    While in the kitchen of the Royal Oak Swallowcliff he just may have concocted a delicious dish.
    Check out James May's Gin:

    From what I could gather after only seven minutes of searching, folk in the 1920's had recipes of pretty much every meat cooked with or in gin. Still, if I ever get to The Royal Oak Swallowcliffe just off the A30 between Shaftesbury and Salisbury which I've been told offers reasonably priced rooms, an excellent menu devised by the best chef in the region, and superb selections of wines, beers, and spirits, I'll be sure to stop in. Unfortunately I live in Pennsylvania so that may be a small glitch.

      I like James May but he doesn't have as much knowledge of things as he acts like. He only really scratches the surface with common knowledge of things. I remember him talking about physics and he didn't understand what he was talking about, if he was pushed for details he wouldn't have been able to provide anything in-depth. On that re-assembler show he'd talk about things a lot but It was just stuff he read in a magazine. Same as when he'd be on about something in Top Gear or Grand Tour. I just think he's a bit over rated as a knowledgeable person. It's his shtick to "bore" people with knowledge but I'd like it if he told me stuff and I could actually learn from him. Some of his car facts are cool though.
