James May makes the weirdest chicken dish ever

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.

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'm not completely sure, but there's a rumor spread about that you better not be a fascist and go there.....

[@wilhelmkreis6578]

@@megaglowz8540 I've heard this as well, but they do allow dogs, children, and all non-fascists, so the only people missing out are ones that nobody really wanted there anyway

Now I want to hear a half hour lecture about polystyrene by James May

[@richardstock1]

I'd actually listen to that.. lol

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

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.

[@soberhippie]

@@dickJohnsonpeter He seems to be what is known as a T-shaped man, that is, deep knowledge in one sphere (maybe cars, but I don't know enough to judge that), shallow knowledge in lots of others

[@richardstock1]

It's more of a methodical radio voice I think.. he can't know everything about everything of course.

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

@@NiksSofa Sorry, I was bored.

[@TopStrikerMaverick]

MORE professionally themed food tribes like this PLEASE. We need to remember that James is a better chef than Ramsay.

[@amandahodgin9316]

And a much more wholesome on screen personality.

[@mannmctrash]

​@@amandahodgin9316 Have you ever seen Ramsay's christmas specials? He does them at home with his children and it seems very sweet. Unfortunately you can't shake the feeling that he's gonna start swearing like a sailor at his girls at any moment.

[@KarlRoyale]

I can't speak about the chicken as I've never had it but the mashed potatoes looked divine. Next time I'm at the Royal Oak Swallowcliffe just off the A30 between Shaftesbury and Salisbury and enjoying a reasonably price room, I will be sure to try the chicken.

[@bigboy6704]

Will you be having a wine, beer, or spirit as well?

[@loganpriest6029]

That information of the Royal Oak location is marginally more important than "Lurpak's spreadable butter invented in 1901".

[@lowlifeallday]

Glad you're okay James! Maybe next time don't take driving advice from the Hamster!

[@recordsoflifestyle6758]

Definitely would love to see more of the Head Chef. Loved hearing his opinions. I think he should have his own series. Maybe a test kitchen where he tries things that wouldn’t naturally go together.

[@ShadowMinder]

The most hilarious part is how the subtitles never, at any point, writes "coq au vine". Here's every single thing it did have in lieu of "coq au vine" or "coq au gin": Coq auvergne, coq au shot, cocoa value, copper value, talk about, coco jar, coq ojo, Cocoa jam, coq about, gotcha, gochujang, coq alone I quite like it picked up gochujang of all things xD

[@travabone]

the subtitles arent automatically generated. atleast if you choose the ones that dont say "automatically generated" so they are written by a human yes

[@crazoatmeal1854]

@@travabone Not automatically generated by KZbin, doesn't mean not automatically generated by the channel staff. Seems pretty clear from all the coq ups.

It's coq au vin, though, no 'e'.

[@adamplace1414]

You know, if I tried to invent Coq au gin at home, even with James' Gin, it'd take a hundred tries before it was even palatable. A real chef does it once and it's great. That's the real magic.
