James I could listen to you all day, despite what Jeremy and Richard would have you believe I find your views on stuff very interesting.

[@BagheeraRaceGamer]

This might be a very good place to start recovering from depression. Listening to James is so soothing AND interesting at the same time.

[@Manogor2000]

The internet is a terrible place to recover from depression. Go outside.

[@handyjobson5900]

Eat more meat can help with mental illness. I eat only meat and cheese and animal fat it works wonders after 2 weeks tbh try it. it won't kill you \^^/

If you'd have to "pick a celeb to spend the quarantine with", I'd go with James. I may not share all his opinions but I'd definitely enjoy his views.

It is true. Lager makes you want a curry. Curry makes you want a lager. But you must break out of this or else you will end up in a korma.

Hammond always used to be my favourite but as I've got older and developed a more sarcastic, dry sense of humour I tend to relate a lot more to James nowadays. I could listen to him talk about baked beans for hours, he makes everything sound so interesting.

The fact James May eats shin cup noodles makes me happy, that was a little gem I found in ASDA and they are amazing.

[@Christian-rn1ur]

I'm not a big fan of cup noodles, but if you;re fortunate enough to live near a shop that sell Mi Goreng or Ko-Lee hot and spicy noodles, give those a go. Great hangover cure after a night of heavy drinking.

[@Super_Unintendo]

Basil, pine nuts, olive oil, cheese, garlic, anchovy James May is free styling delicious food with no effort.

[@dexraikkonen7]

James really is the man; Richard is going insane and Jeremy is just not aging very well.

[@pillestyrer]

Hammond is going insane? How do you figure?

[@aprilkurtz1589]

@XiphiasX10A From what I have heard, since the first accident he now loves celery and hates pizza, and has anger management issues.

[@Philip.Magnusson]

Jeremy has aged quite a but the last few years, but he is turning 60 next year..

[@phantomechelon3628]

Its a bit sad really. Back in the 90s, Jeremy was smooth, debonaire and not bad-looking (if you liked that kind of thing). But as he's got older, he's slowly turning into Donald Trump...less tolerant, more aggressive, more prone to ridiculous exaggerations and ludicrous ideas. xD

Imagine how cool your life would be if you had him as an uncle All the crazy car projects in the shed, even the cooking stuff he actually makes it entertaining

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

@7:25 - I think the easiest experimental food to start with is Eggs, of course if you're vegan or something, then surely something else like beans that James mentioned, but eggs have been simplest, cut the stuff, spray over, and you got eggs or omlet(omelette) with whatever you threw in.

[@feelx92ger]

[@gonzo_the_great1675]

We were once deliberating over the difference between pies and tarts. A friend exclaimed, 'tarts don't have tops on!'.

He has a point tho

[@clifffor1179]

Does captain slow have a slow cooker that's slower than everyone elses slow cooker?

[@EliteRock]

I do the same with pies (serve them upside down), makes them much easier to eat actually.

[@nzedblacks3140]

I also cook with wine... And sometimes I add it on the dish.. 😊

[@SkyOctopus1]

Having lived in the arsehole of nowhere for years with the only shop for miles around being a spar attached to a nearby filling station. It's amazing what you can do to jazz up homogeneous pink sausages and noodles.

[@Farlig69]

Classic - your trying to keep focused in the kitchen and Hammond is getting on the west to being mashed. That would be a hilarious episode of some cooking show.

Talking about the Mouli grater really brought happy childhood memories back, ours was orange. I've never been so happy thinking about a cheese grater :)

[@firehandszarb]

I kid you not: I used to share a flat with an Indian chap, we would regularly make a curry sauce and then add a tin of beans and serve it with rice. We used to call it "the beans" and talk about "we havent had the beans for a while" and end up cooking it for tea

Tin of baked beans, add to one table spoon of Bisto in a saucepan with a cup or two of water, add the dripping from whatever beef cut, and simmer to desired consistency. Pour on a plate of mashed potatoes and a slice of beef/steak. Fucking heaven. Marco Pierre White would approve.

@@fadedjem you don't eat bread with biryani!

I don't think he's willing to risk cutting dissimilar slices. 😉

[@CodecrafterArtemis]

Yes but James May is a man of culture, a man who likes to sort and outline his spanners. I don't think he'd ever touch a beer hat except for maybe throwing it out.

[@ulipeterson6112]

and i thought James favourite kitchen utensil is the corkscrew.

[@PeterFabian]

That's a very common mistake you've made there. The corkscrew of course is not a kitchen utensil, it's a bar utensil. (plus, you can get a lot of nice wines today with a screw top...) Best I can offer is a can opener that doubles as a bottle opener... but a beer while cooking doesn't feel right... wine does.

Chutney, make your own!

[@lydiaschofield5711]

Vegan for over 2 years and vegetarian since I was 15, it is sustainable you’ve just got to learn how to make it sustainable

[@JessieHTX]

I don’t know why people always think it’s not sustainable. I was fruitarian for a year and only stopped because I wanted veggies. There are a lot of folks who are vegan their entire lives. I’ve eaten meat a handful of times in 36 years. I had a dairy and eggs phase, but those actually made me feel worse than strict veganism. I don’t know of nutrition the human body requires that can’t be found in produce. Even protein and calcium.

@@JessieHTX There are several. This tells me you are lacking knowledge and essential nutrients, unless you supplement.

If you think food scientists are out there to make really good, really delicious food, you should probably stick to cars! I made chutney just the other day. It'll be Christmas presents for the in-laws because it's shit...

As long as there is meat in shops and take aways, I will NEVER stop eating meat! We need meat as well as we need veg. We need both to have a balanced diet. Even James said it made him Ill! No one can change my mind on this.

That bit at the end where James was talking about humans not eating mammals in his lifetime.... All we eat in America is steak, pork, burgers, ribs, etc. Especially where I'm from, in Montana. I don't think we'll stop eating mammals anytime soon unless there's some extinction level event to cattle and swine. Montanans love BBQ pork and burgers too much

[@davidlynch9049]

[@sonofodin6550]

@@davidlynch9049 No they aren’t. Nobody gives a flying f*ck about your eco bullsh*t anywhere outside western Europe. And even there the vast majority of people is eating and enjoying meat.
