Well given my experience with lurpak spreadable being not so spreadable, and in the video it was I’ve come to the conclusion the fridge doesn’t actually work (or is off) and the potnoodle isn’t being chilled and just stored there. But yes, who puts noodles in a fridge?
As a Korean that grew up in the UK watching Top Gear, hearing James May casually mention that he eats Shin Cups made my 10 year old self extremely happy.
This is basic, very dry, dismal and absolutely brilliant. Such a simple and entertaining charm of a man in a bunker eating a dodgy sandwich. I’m addicted.
I love how he mucks about with a pan of water on an electric hob, splashing water everywhere when he pours it, when all the time less than a foot away is an actual electric kettle. Classic James! 😁
The correct way to contain the noodles is to use one slice of bread folded over. That way you also get Lurpak (invented in 1901) on both inner sides of the sando.
If there's one thing I've always admired about James, it's his ability to maintain an air of absolute apathy, even when faced with the most ridiculous of things. I'd say bravo, but that seems just a little too energetic. :)
An Aussie classic dinner: Store bought roast chicken, coleslaw and buttered bread/roll, if you want it slightly toasted add cheese on top of the chicken.
Make a sandwich with billy bear ham, walkers ready salted crisps and tomato ketchup. It was something my cousin would always make when I went to his house as a kid, and he even used lurpak spreadable butter too
@@johnandrews3568 Yessir. I am Gen X myself. Gen X tends to get lost in the noise from the shouting match between dangerously dominant boomer generation and the millennials that everyone seems to have a strong opinion on.
They've been working together far longer than with these young upstarts like Lucy and Ben so they're bound to have found a lot of common ground by now 😆
a couple of refinements: toast the bread, and after draining the noodles put them in a hot nonstick frying pan with a little bit of cooking oil and stir-fry them for a minute or two before assembling the sandwich. the results are much better.
@@TwistedSoul2002 no no NO! Reduce the soup until a thick paste put it in the dehydrator for 24hours and sauté the noodles with roast chicken and chanterelle mushrooms. Bake a fresh brioche Roll and assemble it’s that simple
You should upgrade to some 'proper' instant noodles, it's cheaaper and miles better. Indomie Mi Goreng is like 40p from most supermarkets and Nissin Demae are about 50p and also quite nice.
Classic swedish sandwhiches from my childhood. Knäckebröd med grillgrydda - hard rye bread with butter and barbecue seasoning on it. We ate this whenever we didnt like the food that was served that day. But the school always gave out hard rye bread and next to the salt and pepper there was always barbecue seasoning. Äggmacka med kalleskaviar - Hard boiled egg sandwhich whith fish roe/Fish paste on it. You need ”Kalles Kaviar” for the authenic swedish experience.
The ultimate sandwich we recently discovered, inspired by "sandwiches of the 70s" is white bread, spreadable on both sides of the bread, with corned beef, Branston small chunk pickle, and cheese and onion crisps! To die for!
A builders cafe in an alleyway just off Pall Mall served a full roast beef dinner in a sandwich. Roast potatoes, slices of medium roast beef, yorkshire pudding strips, roasted veg, with gravy and some english mustard. All in between two chunky pieces of buttered white bread. It was majestic. Sadly the landlord got greedy and jacked up the rent so they had to close. RIP Fuzzy's Grub.
I do that whenever my family makes roast. Mash all the veg down into some mush, butter your bread of choice, spread veg mash, layer meat, add gravy as desired. Voila, roast sandwich.
My dad used to love grilled mashed potato on toast with corned beef cut up on it. He would intentionally use the leftover mash from the night before from the saucepan. You could give that a shot if you like, but I can't vouch for my dad's sense of taste.
Spreadable butter wasn't invented till the 70s, and it wasn't even lurpak who invented it, but I think they adopted it in the 70s. Lurpak, the company, was founded in 1901 and rebranded in '57 to be what we recognize today, this is around the time they moved into the British market, but with standard butter blocks to start.
2nd attempt at asking Please do a *Greek Cypriot toasted sandwich:* -A soft bread bun -Butter -Halloumi -Cucumber (optional) -Tomatoe (optional) -Lountza slices (cured pork tenderloin) -CYPRIOT piccalilli (check Wikipedia) -Slightly toast the inside of the bun before also
or hear me out on this one , add cheese (sorry Lucy) so when it melts it glues the noodles with the bread so they won't fall off , toast it like a grilled cheese then use the soup as a dipping sauce with the sandwitch
Sounds like a version of a bacon egg and cheese on either a bagel or English muffin, not sure what you call an English muffin over there or if you have them there, might be strictly an American thing
One of my mum's favorites is a bologna and cheese sandwich with mustard and potato chips (or crisps if you prefer). Love to see Mr. May's opinion of it.
Being that this is an English channel with an English guy they have to be called by their proper name... Crisps. Btw chips are large French Fries, nothing else.
Hi James wondering if you might try the Fools Gold sandwich made famous by none other than Mr Elvis presley!! The story goes that one night while entertaining friends at graceland someone mentioned the fools gold sandwich that they had eaten while in denver and so Elvis was keen to try it,apparently himself and his 30 buddies jumped aboard his pribate jet and flew 2 hours to denver at 11pm that night and had the sandwiches delivered to the plane. The recipie is as follows 1 long warmed hollowed out loaf or, baton Filled with a jar of peanut butter,and a jar of grape jelly topped off with a pound of fried bacon. Hoping you might not have to go to Denver for the grape jelly Kind regards Jason from Dublin Ireland👍🥖
@@freakboy220 I've stumbled into a comment section of complete ignorance about my signature dish! Because a coating of butter waterproofs the inside of the sandwich from the runny juice. Is that not obvious?
Used to visit a bakery years ago and get a toasted smoked salmon bagel (both sides buttered) with cream cheese, sliced pickles and a thick dollop of either green or red chili pastes.
This is not one for Lucy, Marmite (spread thinly) Peanut Butter (spread thickly) topped with a mature Cheddar Cheese. This has been my go-to "meal replacement" since I left home in the 1970s and discovered peanut butter.
Try a sardines and marmalade sandwich. Butter the bread mash up a tin if sardines put it on one side of the bread on the other slice of bread put the marmalade put together and eat
James is obsessed with that fridge Doesn't matter if things should belong in the fridge or not He likes to open the fridge door so we can see his figure on the fridge
I know this is an older video but if you're still taking "Triber's sando's" ideas then I'd suggest my personal favorite. A pressed toasted panini with proscuitto, sun dried tomatos, fresh mozzarella, and pesto. It is very simple but it is delicious!
i've been putting 2 minute noodles on bread for about 20 years, had no idea it wasn't a common thing (certainly was in my house growing up)... love it when the butter starts to melt a little, and you can also dip it in the leftover noodle water so it gets a little soggy! (I've only ever used 1 slice at a time folded over tho, but you can also add a slice of cheese if you are feeling fancy) haha 😜👍
Always had a kinda "signature" sandwich I make now and then. Toasted bread, gouda, deli ham, fresh spinach, onion, and for a secret ingredient; some thin slices of summer sausage. Don't know if it'd be to the crew's liking though.
Now try, mashed potatoes(just boiled potatoes mashed with black pepper, salt and green chillies don't add water or milk to Mashed potatoes), 3 tomato slices, 3 red onion circles, 3 cucumber slices (thin cut), American cheddar cheese, butter on both sides and toast them on both sides till bread is golden brown and you have yourself a Bombay sandwich. Ps- the sandwich made in this episode would taste way better with Maggi
The most middle class thing I've ever seen, I mean that in an insulting way. Also, I hope my grammar didn't cause anyone to need a costly therapist. Having said that, most of the ones enjoying probably have a therapist.
I'm disturbed that you didn't flip one of the bread pieces from the loaf, which means they'll be the wrong way round when you make the sandwich. That is poor technique.
