Looking at a tin of spam would be more entertaining than new Top Gear.

Just looking at James's face is better than new Top Gear

And they're completely different things. Hydrogenated oils and trans fats are long gone, the modern "spread" (to give it it's proper name) isn't marge. It's also now about 1/3rd of the fat content of the 70s marge. It's not just a name change, the flavour really isn't comparable either. Marge simply doesn't exist anymore. Google it, it's actually quite complicated, I've just tried to make a tldr 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello James 👋🏽

We tasted the cats' food when we were kids and it's definitely edible. 😂

I have been watching mr.slow's show for years. Trust me, it is quite addicting, for some unknown reason

I was thinking the same thing lol Rubbish subject, rubbish food but hey it's James May so we'll all watch it and enjoy it :D

Glad you say this... next week is testing two different mold and mildew bathroom sprays.

@Selfspot I've seen videos showing how well sheets on the ceiling work as well. Just pad the room lol.

I feel the same WTF was i just watching. Yeah James May talking about spam. Such a unpleasant food item. I need to spend my time better in live i think.

Because of the word "quarantine"

James May is a man deeply ahead of his time

If your from the 70s you know it's different

U didn't even quote it right

That’s lucky, because what a regret to have

In fact, I wish it was a lot longer.

Over the past year, I've watched this about a dozen times. Still no regrets.

We got shorted a minute or so when he was getting the Spam out of the tin...

I thought it was the top gear polar special

Shhhhh we don't talk about it

Bottom Gear

Middle gear

Well it does come from the man who can spend an hour of time on a real tv program disassembling a vacuum cleaner.

Technically he managed to make two sandwiches in ten minutes

He wastes a good amount of time shaking the salad cream like a ponce, I mean, who shakes it side to side? Up and down is the most efficient and doesn't make you look like a complete bell end

@@Mklg not only that, he made me want to go out, buy white bread, spam and salad cream. (I have to admit to having margerine at home already...)

@Tom Bowman Just a little joke, wasn't expecting such a reply, I forgot to use sarcasm font sorry :D :D :D

Is anyone going to mention the fact that he seems to keep saying "Princess Ham". I thought it was Princes?

He didn't sear it in a pan. So I regret it on his behalf.

Well this video showed up in my spam folder.

That's right. Fish pie I believe.

Also pretty much the entire lyrics for a Monty Python song.

And a bit of HP sauce?

I think James thought the same thing after saying "no artificial" which is why he tacked on "or unwanted".

Yes.Morning.

😂 right

HAHAHAHAHAHA

There's a Korean cooking show where they try to impress a famous critic with all this fancy food, and he's just not interested. Then they researched his life, found out what he ate as a kid, and made that. It was basically a throw-it-in soup of whatever they could collect back then (Korea was extremely poor and they frequently ate supplies given to them by American soldiers, including SPAM). He was literally crying as the taste brought him back to some of his earliest memories. He said they'd finally succeeded.

can i donate somewhere to make this happen?

@kie dude weed lmao

THAT would actually be awsome.

That's a brilliant idea

margerine, spam, white bread, "salad cream", the entire thing is artificial.

I think that was the joke! British humor.... He literally listed some of the fakest things out there (margarine, white bread) and then proceeded to act like they were healthy. Just James May / British things 🤣

Clarkson mentioned it on the last episode of the Grand Tour when they got to the end. "we're still alive" he said. "and on that terrible disappointment, for top gear, it's time to end. See you soon"

Yep, he's moving up in the world. This gives me far more actionable knowledge than top gear ever did, and in a more concise, straight to the point, format.

That's why we love James May!

This is EXACTLY why I adore and respect James. 😅❤

And talked about how the ham had a "more delicate flavor"

He is exactly right however and red wine goes great with Spam sandwiches. Princess Ham does have a delicate flavor profile and should be smeered on toast or crackers.

he's possessed by the spirit of Keith Floyd.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed, for those who do not, no explanation will suffice.

@@haroldellis9721 correct

This is my favorite exchange I've read on KZfaq today.

@@haroldellis9721 hear hear, well said lad

At the very least his corpse will be perfectly preserved.

I kept thinking he said sour cream, well I thought he said salad cream but I was unsure what that was so I convinced myself he said sour cream. Is salad cream just a more pungent mayo? My quick googling shows it has more oil and vinegar than traditional mayo, but the ingredients are very similar. Just different proportions. I might go buy some salad cream next time I am at the shop. Probably never noticed it before because, well, salad cream sounds awful.

He is correct. There is nothing artificial in either of those products unless you get some weird white bread with a 6 year shelf life. Spam is simply (over salted) canned and ground up pork shoulder and salad cream is the same as miracle whip basically which is extra sour mayo. Having said that, it isn't the most healthy thing to eat in the world but that is a very different story. It also looks absolutely fucking disgusting ..... lol

​@@hanstun1 You forgot the margarine.

There is nothing disgusting about corned beef and salad cream. I went to the shop after watching this to buy more corned beef.

You saying Karl's not intelligent

Karl is way more intelligent, anyone who doesnt realise hes playing a simpleton is kinda dumb, it takes a very smart man to act like a simpleton. Also anyone who eats 40 year old canned ham whilst stuck in the middle of the North pole is pretty stupid. By all means bring it home and try it where it doesnt matter too much if you get sick, but in the middle of the North pole is pretty retarded.
