Has James May made the worst sandwich yet?

He has made some fairly spectacular creations over the years, but we think James May has hit rock bottom with this sheer rubbishness. A parsnip sandwich? I think we’d rather bring back the Pot Noodle…

I love James's surprised reaction to "unexpectedly" finding each of his prepared ingredients in the fridge

I wouldn't have expected to find spices - in the fridge. It's an odd place to put them, for sure.

What if you used the gin to pickle something like a cucumber, lettuce, cabbage or something similar to inform the flavour of the gin into whatever sandwich you make? I reckon I could be on to something here.

Nah... Andrew is kinda meh. Uncle roger and james collab would be funny, but tbh no youtube foodie/chef really matches his vibe.

[@NGC-7635]

I'm beginning to think there is literally only the exact ingredients in the fridge and James is just pretending to suddenly "find" each one of them as if it wasn't just right there

[@reliantncc1864]

Another possibility: it's like those magic shops you see in fiction like Twilight Zone. It actually has whatever the person looking needs. If James opens it, he finds the ingredients for his sandwich. If I open it, it's just chock full of beer, cheese, and pickles. If Lucy Brown opens it, it's empty because she doesn't actually like anything.

[@NGC-7635]

@@reliantncc1864 😂

[@brolohalflemming7042]

I don't think they've ever said where the bunker is. Or shown inside the fridge. If they did, we'd see the big hole in the back of the fridge, the wall, and the inside of the food warehouse they've tunneled into. This is why James gives a cue "I wonder if we have any lard?" which prompts a runner to go fetch it, and plonk it on the shelf.

[@Burning_Dwarf]

I like the twilight zone theory. But my realistic guess is lucy stocks it with a vague idea james wants, lets say he uses half of whats in it.

[@tetsubo57]

Lucy Brown, the true hero of the show.

[@joonassummanen6130]

James should definitely make a new cooking show for Amazon Prime, but this time make food with weird ingredients and combinations (and maybe his Gin) suggested by the fans. So almost like this.

[@Games_and_Music]

I used to make cheese and Doritos Hot Salsa dip sandwiches, with some added sliced sour pickles, but that was about 20 years ago by now, they had changed the recipe and it became much more like a sauce than the watery dip that it used to be, which i loved. To be fair though, the watery dip made it impossible to prepare the sandwiches and eat them some time later, because they'd be soaked and falling apart by then, but still, it just tasted better. Long story short, have you tried making sandwiches with dips?

[@sussvarman]

as someone from a tamil family, it's weird realizing that something i took as holistic stomach ache medicine (fenugreek, or 'venthaiyam' as my mother says, while i puke) is also used to make alcohol, which causes the very stomach aches.

Why do the British still eat like the war just ended?!

[@TheHutchy01]

Root vegetables are delicious and with the level of cultural stagnation here, 1946 is still the future

[@lukeproctor69]

Roast parsnip slices in an oven to remove the water content. Allow to cool; then create a marinate with the spices and add to the cooked but now cooled parsnip; allowing those flavours to seep into the parsnip. Pan fry the parsnip crisps at a high heat for a short time, then add to the council bread layered with Lurpak spreadable butter invented in 1901, season the crisps with a touch of sea salt, and serve. You could also separately create a spicy mayonnaise to dip the toasted sandwich into. Thank me later.

[@itsokay7989]

"Parsnip represents England and it's dampness." - D. MAY, James. 2022. That's some Churchill level quote.

[@GryphonWahle]

[@gregmuon]

A better approach might have been to make quick pickles with the parsnip, and then use them to dress a banh mi sandwich. That would have required planning ahead 24 hrs though, and I suspect that much planning wasn't something they planned for...

[@banderdash2702]

I think parsnip sandwich can work, just perhaps not pan fried. Maybe cubes of parsnip, skin on, parboiled and then roasted with the spices and a bit of oil would work better.

[@4r391]

Yeees. More James and more Sandwiches!!!

[@peterthompson7859]

Might have been an idea to add a splash of gin to the pan at the end to give the parsnip a bit of softness and caramelisation

[@kelvinc]

You know the cost of living crisis is bad when James won't flood the cowling anymore 😟

[@619TheLineman]

There is something decidedly pleasing about a "gin sandwich". A quick phrase said amongst friends with an flexible interpretation and as an greater concept.

[@lacingtrails420]

Honestly thought James was going to make a sandwich with gin "Roy Swallow Cliff, a tastefully modernized 18th century pub in south Wiltshire, just off the a30 between Shaftesbury and Salisbury. Very reasonably priced rooms, an excellent menu and a superb selections of wines, spirits and beers."

[@simhthmss]

[@JohnJohansen2]

Apropos Lurpak. The brand "Lurpak" is from 1901. And is genuine, proper butter. The spreadable (margarine) version only arrived in 1990. I can recommend you to use the original version. Just don't put it in the fridge. Leave it on the kitchen table. Unless it's a hot summers day.🙂
