James May compares the ultimate egg sandwiches 

I put a blanket against my balls when I jerk, it nice and tickles them.

I think he looks like an aged robert plant

Why would anyone wish to paint the French, they are too busy striking & rioting in hi-vis jackets to stand still long enough for you to put emulsion paint on them :-) also I would say Geography not Maths.

@@mezalong bruh, that's deep.

Maths

Don't forget to cite J May lol

now that is something I would donate to Wikipedia for 😂

Ah god 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You didn't liar

@@brodieclamp5090 its not that easy, there are verification checks done by people who work for Wiki. You just dont go on there instantly changing information.

And a lazy loser

dont insult our queen

I'm 15 and sometimes a sandwich is the only thing I eat in a day o.O How can some people survive without them

I barely ever make sandwiches. Bread just isn't a thing that's on my shopping list, I make food that you eat with a fork

May making it, that's the thing his touching everywhere LOL

I like to think it makes the sandwiches feel better too :)

Adds personality and taste to the sandwich. Even if it's just bits of dead skin that provide a little extra protein. Did I make this weird ? Yes. Yes indeed I did, and I am not ashamed. Fite me, m8 !°

I think I'd feel better knowing someone pat my sandwich before sending it off.

21??? My word! I would have gone with 15

to be honest she doesnt look like she eats very healthy haha

@@Phoenix3573 and James starts by saying she said she hadn't made a sandwich for a decade... just cos she made a sandwich doesn't mean it's recent

Weeaboo Trash Because they probably have not been shown how to make a sandwich and they are the takeaway generation

No idea. I'm 23 and I've made..god knows how many.

i have seen the movie i am from 1984

Or shots were not fired, in this case

Did it involve muskets?

@FUCK BRUSSELS AND REMAIN MORONIC PARASITES I think you are supposed to say "Am fumin, should of known beta"

I think it’s 1903

It improves the flavor by 20%

@@RufinoMendoza He used to say 1903 but in the peanut butter video they show that it was actually 1901 and he was wrong the entire time.

Let's not get bogged down with when Lurpak spreadable butter was invented

Butter on sandwiches is disgusting though, ruins the taste

to be fair, her sharpening technique is awful, and probably only served to dull the knife.

@@hoverbike yep true, and I am embarrassed to say she is part of my generation Oops, upset some boomers

@@hoverbike to be fair what she did wasnt sharpening the knife but basically making the edge straight but ur right her form is awfull so it probably did the opposite since she also only did 1 side

Bet she didn't even clean the blade after she "sharpened" it

@@K_ingh16 I thought you died ?

I mean, of course not, salad cream with egg sounds pretty gross. Try just butter next time.

@@MaakaSakuranbo Sandwich spread looks like it came of a baby, it might be delicious but Christ, just no.

@@TheHutchy01 Yeah it kinda did actually I think I'd rather have the Spam and Princess ham sandwiches from earlier XD

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.

She needs 24 hours without food, then try again. Not eating? 48 hours without food.

You want James to squirt his salad cream all over you ya slag ;) lol

Look up the Anthony Hopkins dancing video.

@@fixyourmind it ain't there now :(

She only licks tuna.

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.

Might just be a poor or northern thing but I swear I had sandwiches every day for like a decade and I was born in 99

@@vampmode9132 I'm both poor and Northern

I'm born the same year as her and have had the sandwiches

James actually beat Gordon in the f word

Yes so this comment actually holds weight! Not to mention he drank wine while cooking.

I love this comment.

*Hold my frying pan*

fuck, that would be a brilliant match up.... James May and Gordon Ramsay doing a show about food and history.

I know right, that awful feeling realising you are slower than captain slow 😂

Zoomers confirmed slower than James May.

When you’re slower than captain slow.

Oh yeah 420th like baby

I feel sorry for him if she is

@@peterpatina63 He has no kids...

James may ain't got no kids or married

hes with a long time partner as far as I know. shes a ballet critic or something like that.

She’s the daughter James never had

Think it's the other way around hahaha!

The knife sharpening, manstincts kick in..

"And on that terrible disappointment, I'm afraid its time to end..."

Kinky

If you’re bored then you’re boring.

Its awe at being in the presence of a Master.

I think anyone would seem boring and ordinary AF sitting next to James May

@@Saganist420 especially when James is in goatee mode as in this video. Then he is at his highest potential

I would love to do this

I would like to see someone challenge James to put the shell back on the peeled egg.

why would you want to see an old man suffer?!...

I was disturbed by Lucy cutting the sandwich in the non symmetrical direction!

@@NRich i think that was actually the more symmetrical because you end up having 2 symmetrical sandwitches

@@jarluhtraed9725 👍🏻 I was speaking within the rectangular constraint... she cut horizontally, with one half having the entire top and the other half having the entire bottom. Instead of the symmetrical, vertical way.

Yep, pretty much!

James doesn't seem the type to trust other people to make his lunch.

*eggsperiment

@@owllymannstein7113 james doesn't seem to care that much about the food, though hammond does, i vaguely recall in their video about poaching eggs, hammond was very particular whereas james was a bit more laid back

You're saying that as if it's a bad thing.

I'm the same age from Sheffield in the UK, i love egg mixed with salad cream. I used to eat them type of sandwiches a lot when i was in my early teens right up till now.

Salad cream is the king of condiments.

Judezki *international treasure!😄

Agreed

@Indosarnia what's that got to do with anything

What goes around comes around. Slacker culture started in the 60s, became fashionable again in the 90s...seems like its back again... :D

And yet we're watching...

she's even more disinterested

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.

If I didn't know James didn't have any children I would have sworn she was his daughter.

It's called spoiled by incredibly wealthy parents. Curled until they're grown up, and then they have to re-adjust to the real world or continue live in their bubble.

Lol but true

@@HenrikoMagnifico that is a MASSIVE assumption you’re making there, which says much more about your weirdly bitter cynical underlying feelings than it does about anyone in this video.

@@notryangosling3065 It's a fair assumption based on the many videos she's in on this channel. She's never made a sandwich, she almost exclusively eats take out, even way before the pandemic, hangs around with James May regularly and has never had a job before even though she's in her twenties. 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. Your comment comes across as so bitter, like your projecting your long held disdain for this so-called “privileged” generation onto a quiet woman who’s biggest crime is not eating sandwiches and not being very lively in front of camera.

There are other programming options on youtube since you seem to object.

@@hdtvcamera1 Why should i object? I love the blokes!

These guys are awesome stop hating, proper comedians

@@ADAMvsEVERYTHING101 Am i hating on them?

Just to rectify your comment, no current Top Gear cast members were involved in the production of this video.

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.

Your dad is a splendid chap and no mistake. You should tell him.

Bridge too far is excellent!!! Your dad is a legend!

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.

@@Wandering1500 If he never made you these sandwiches, how do you know they are detestable, as opposed to delectable? There is a reason salad cream was brought back by Heinz!

So you were raised as a boomer? So was I.

Yeah me too :(

That's just sad, but it begs the question: Why does James only cut his sandwiches rectangularly, and they're not even symmetrical? I know triangle-cut sandwiches aren't symmetrical, but his rectangles make my OCD flare up.

@@DonZollFL Maybe it's a sympathetic nod towards the shape of Retro and older-day cars?

@@DonZollFL maybe that’s how they cut their sandwiches in the 70s

@@RedPaladin42 sure. Someone said that before

Put the crisps back in the kettle and take the bag off the water while you put the water down. You will do this now! Thanks!

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.

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.

heath780391 what did the salad cream taste like

Very tangy, obviously a large quantity of vinegar.

Haha thats weird cos I live in new zealand, and all the salad cream I can find here is stuff made in my home country of England lol.

Black pepper is a must

@@timfagan816 I think we can somehow blame money for that one

James shaking the cream was great but Lucy is definitely not a great presenter, she had no charisma in front of the camera, she looked like she just wanted to get out of there haha

@@Phantom_Aspekt But that's what makes it perfect. They make a nice contrasting duo.

@@Phantom_Aspekt And it's kinda reasonable that she might not be the most charismatic if it's her first time on camera given the fact it's being uploaded for hundreds of thousands of people to watch, that combined with being stood next to someone like James May who's been doing it for so many years now that it's second nature to him, she honestly was at a massive disadvantage from the start

@@getisbhai I do agree that she is not a great presenter but yes I do also agree with your statement that it is a contrast which is probably why they have her come in front of the camera

the brits have the worst names for things.

I laughed until tears occurred

I was going to vote for that sideways glance he gave at 03:29, when he saw the knives being sharpened to cut AN EGG :| But yours is good too :P

TheGreenOak awesome just awesome

If he had a daughter, she would know how to turn wrenches and maybe still have grease under her nails.

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 thought it was a creepy uncle beard.

Yes, it’s dead good looking on him. My uncle had one (and I didn’t like him), so I wasn’t fond of goatees due to that association but James is hot in it.

@@mortechrome Yes!

Absolutely not weird! He is the most loved by many brits

Yeah I would definitely say he's the most loved over here too

most loved, but also most boring ? i guess thats a fair way to sum it up. The other 2 have higher highs, but are both much more annoying.

I'm American too and James is my favorite of the 3 followed by Jeremy and Richard.

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.

hi someone who doesn’t like egg? 😂

Fried bacon & egg sandwich is very good, cheap and easy to make

Someone that eats at the same take out place everyday

Someone who stays away from food that smells like farts.

Is this similar to an egg salad sandwich or is that a different kind completely.

Ikr

I thought it was because she was honing just to cut an egg... I was miffed that she didnt just use a fork

She did it backwards. The horror... the horror!

He'd also be irritated at this comment. It's not sharpening it's honing the edge. The edge of your knife gets burs and bends in it from use. Honing it helps remove the burs and realign the edge.

Who wasn't? That was some of the worst sharpening I've ever seen! RIP knife's edge.

that's MY line!!!

@@bvedant Hahahahaha

@@bvedant perfect

Beat me to it!

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.

You might argue James' content could be labeled "How to Boomer the Right (Correct) Way".

I’m obviously a “boomer” because I don’t know what one is! Mind you... I don’t care either!

@@scottwild8802 ok boomer

James isn't boomer. He's from 60s, almost 10 years too young. But if you take boomer as it used generally, meaning when young people run out of arguments, then he is a boomer, because he's an adult.

@@sirtinderloin7399 ok boomer

You mean... the Freditor?

Agreed

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.
