James May finds the ultimate sausage sandwich

James May is back to making sandwiches in the bunker kitchen! This week he's answering the age-old question of what's best: hot dogs or sausage sandwiches?

How about a hotdog how i like em, mayo + ketchup and diced onions. Tomato ketchup that is, not the curry ketchup that other people usually use, just plain ol' tomato ketchup and mayo. EDIT: Oh whoops, i forgot the slice of roast cheese, first you fry the sausage (so, no cooking), then when it's almost done, put a slice of on top of the sausage, you can just let it melt or slightly roast it for a crispier bite, before you put it in the bun, then add sauces and onions.

That's because they aren't sold that way in America, it would be unnecessary.

The original recipe for HP Sauce was developed by Frederick Gibson Garton, a grocer from Nottingham. He registered the name H.P. Sauce in 1895 after hearing that a restaurant in the Houses of Parliament had begun serving it, and for many years the bottle labels have carried a picture of the Houses of Parliament.

I’m American. I have a great love for the U.K. Must say, I have never seen an American eat jarred hot dogs. Also, as a North Carolinian, I encourage you to have a hot dog all the way in rural NC if you’re ever in the Great North State. All-the-way means boiled red hot dog, yellow mustard, chopped coleslaw (doesn’t resemble English coleslaw), hot dog chili, and chopped raw onions in a soft hot dog bun. Love your cooking! I’ve missed you!

[@treennumbers]

I was a bit shocked by the jar as well, until I thought back and realized that all of the vacuum-sealed dogs I've eaten have always been packed in that little bit of 'hot dog juice' which is what this surely must be. Plastic is gas permeable though so if one is exporting actual american hot dogs, glass might be the better option. That, and it classes it up.

I've never seen hot dogs in a jar before, but those looked quite nice. Ketchup is a no no in my area, as is boiling. Normally, we would grill them on an outdoor charcoal barbeque. The bun (i.e. "roll") would either be steamed or toasted/fried with a bit of butter. Also, despite America always seeming to steal credit unnecessarily, most of us know that hot dogs are indeed German. If you meet an older American, they may even call it a "Frankfurter."

As James noted, there are regional variations of hot dogs. One of the best, I believe, is the Chicago-style hot dog. Rule #1, no catsup! Rule #2: the dog must be all beef. The “Brooklyn-style” he used were mostly pork. Ingredients: all-beef hot dog, poppy seed hot dog bun, yellow mustard, sweet green pickle relish, chopped raw onion, tomato wedges, dill pickle spear, sport peppers, & celery salt. An interesting challenge would be for you to make the most popular US regional varieties & compare them. Some ingredients would be difficult for you to get in the UK, but a few phone calls to the correct companies could get you parcels of ingredients air-freighted to you. For Chicago-style dogs, relish, sport peppers, & celery salt, contact the Vienna Beef company & for the poppy seed buns, S. Rosen’s, both in Chicago. Incidentally, I was happy to see James sanitizing his hands after touching the raw sausages, except that he immediately touched them again, then handled the buns, then put the buns on the cutting board on the spot from which he had just moved the sausages. 😂

One more thing: the bun should ideally be steamed.

Need more of the cooking episodes!!!!! And I really would like it if you were working with Richard on the mystery show for Drivetribe!

[@MilitarySpartan]

For home or gourmet hot dogs, grilled. For street vendors /new yorkersand quick sellers, boiled.

and North Jersey, deep fried. Made popular by Rut's Hut. Copied by everyone else.

[@brandongao3675]

@@markgaudry7549 I’m from North Jersey and have never seen that

[@markgaudry7549]

@@brandongao3675 Sorry I can't remember the towns I saw them in. It has been over 30 years. However, a Pittsburgh TV station did a story on hotdogs in the 80's and they mentioned Rutt's Hut. (Clifton. Just looked for hot dogs near Passaic NJ and it came up right near the top.) There is a small waterfall in the middle of a city in North Jersey and they had deep fried dogs in that town, not far from the falls. It could be that they are no longer popular. I was just going by memory. The ones I remember were near Passaic if I remember correctly.

We need more May. Please don't stop doing these

I'll bet the viewing time on all of James' cooking videos are 100%. You have to stay until the end because you dont know what's next, more arbitrary knowledge from the Buddha of England? Marvelous.

[@landmine9302]

Incredible, he aged and got younger at the same time.

[@bengilchrist2874]

Eh, as an Aussie, I can tell you, neither of these compare to a Snag. Ie, a single piece of bred, a single pan fried sausage slapped diagonally across the slice of bred. Slap on some fried onion, rosella tomato sauce slam it in ya gob and call it a day. The best thing ever.

[@chairmanmeow8388]

Australian sausages are very basic. Quite enjoyable though.

[@nintendonut100]

We call that a Sausage Sizzle here in New Zealand, and I can confirm that they're choice as, aye. Though myself I prefer mustard to tomato sauce on it, but that's just a matter of preference.

[@Sevicify]

@@nintendonut100 Yeah they're called sausage sizzles in Aussie land too, we just like calling the sausages snags for short.

[@crashbando2561]

I call that the boom boom room

[@Likexner]

This is how you make the ultimate sausage sandwich. 1) Take wiener hotdogs and cut them in half, slicing along the length of the hotdog. 2) Put them in a sandwich toaster (the kind that has a top and a bottom stove/grill) and roast them until theyre puffed up and slightly burnt on the outside. Take one slice of white toast bread, preferably buttered bread. 3) Put the hotdogs on the bread 4) Add your preferred kind of sauce. I recommend a smokey barbecue sauce but curry works too. 5) Put a slice or two of your preferred cheese on top. I recommend one slice of emmental and one slice of cheddar. 6) Put another slice of toast bread on top. 7) Put the whole sandwich into the sandwich toaster.

[@MBx19v]

My favourite part is when James moves the sausage and immediately puts the bun where the raw sausage was on the chopping board.

[@jazzb97]

It's quite rare to become ill from eating raw pork that's come from the UK

[@schorschhacklinger]

Where's the problem? In germany we even eat raw sausage sometime.

[@mmeade9402]

Gimme my hot dog grilled please. Smokey flavored, a bit of a crispy snap in the sausage when you bite into it. Onions are diced and raw, yellow mustard you chose is fine, add chili.

[@keyqui05]

YAY NEW BUNKER KITCHEN VIDEO !!!!!!!

[@DaveyZee72]

I’m offended that you didn’t try the Australian way😂. The Bunnings snag is one piece of council bread with basic beef sausage placed diagonally on top of the bread piece. Then on top of that is some grilled onion. Topped with tomato sauce and or mustard. Fold over the opposite corners maki by something that resembles a discount taco and consume

[@Knoxy995]

Whoah hold on. Onion underneath for oh&s reasons.

[@MotoCat91]

@@Knoxy995 mate I'll be stuffed if I let anyone put onion underneath me snag.. They're called toppings for a reason

@Huieee No way mate onion on top the meat and bread needs to touch the palette first.

It's very much the halfway point between the two. Best of both worlds.

Someone needs to send James a pack of American hotdogs as well as a pack of hotdog buns so he can go off on the mismatched ratio between the number of each (8 to 10).

James has totally missed the Australasian dominions and blanked the classic BBQ sausage in bread (with BBQ onion)!

this is the way.

6:46 that silly noise was so well balanced, adding it for the third time, but for a shorter period, so it's still funny and not yet annoying. 😀
