James May cheese pt.2 - The ultimate showdown

Hello viewers, welcome back to the bunker kitchen and I would just like to say that I have been working in television in all its forms, except YouTube terrestrial broadcast, all this stuff for over 20 years and I like to think back to that time . I've made an effort to produce reasonably hybrid content, you know, science stuff, travel, history, cars, obviously, which reminds me is to put a piece of

cheese

on this counter and say

cheese

, that's my best work and with that in mind. I've received several uh, I was going to say letters, they're not letters, obviously, messages from people who watched our last challenge between the United States and Great Britain, which was the hot dog versus the traditional British coffee sausage sandwich with brown sauce, and they said Yes, but what about American cheese and British cheese?

Because it's an opportunity for me to open the refrigerator and say today we're looking at cheese versus foreign cheese that we're going to make. I say it will be Lucy Brown. I'm going to invite you in a minute to a toasted cheese sandwich using slices of mature cheddar cheese again government issued industrial cheese that the council would make if the council made cheese compared to the most famous American cheese, the only one I know of that exists , which is the Monterey Jack don' I don't know anything about it other than the ingredients are milk, there you go, so Lucy Brown, if you want to chime in, since you're the expert on this, I can help you, but the comment is Yours, you're in control, I mean, I'll start. in saying I'm definitely not a cheese expert because I hate it, we would start with the bread that will be in that magical draw where the bread lives there, it's amazing, you name any food, name one there, say something that I think should be in this trip without lure Package too obvious uh noodles something else everything I think a small plastic tray to put eggs in what I really need for this recipe is some very expired squeeze mayonnaise oh no, there it is, I actually do it I need that, Thanks, that's right, can I get some back too?

Please what is the lure package? A little butter spread please, invented in 1901, thank you. You have 2,800 pounds of fuzzy package, perfect, so I think I've seen a recipe made. before for this and you just put mayonnaise on the outside of the bread and then fry in butter, then add the cheese, then add the bread again and flip it which sounds weird but should be fine, are you going to make two simultaneously? try it, okay, I think you might have to step in and help me at some point, okay, you're going to need the Grabbers, yes, I think they are.

I don't know how many hours we've filmed just rummaging through those drawers stupidly. Can you prepare the cheese? Prepare the cheese because it is prepared. It comes in slices. The American does it. American cheese. Aren't you completely right? The answer is no because I can't. Yes. Okay. There's a little bit of cheese. Sliced ​​cheese. As? Would you like Jack the stingray? I guess it's as similar to cheddar cheese as possible. That's going to be quite complicated. Thin slices. It has a knob. Lucy. It has two directions, although that one is a little more challenging. Who brought that to the Bugabanka kitchen through instructions. book away right away, buddy, that's very, look at that cheese, it's American cheese, it's very bouncy, yeah, it's not straight either, which means it's not straight, it's not square, foreign, yeah, those sides are square, never mind, no, you hear that in mission style restaurants everywhere, chefs. having a tantrum because the cheese is a square right, you actually want it to be as thin as possible yeah, I mean we just want it to melt so I guess the thinner the easier it is, it's very strange.

I have never had Monterey Jack cheese. obviously because I've spent a lot of time in America but I've never found it in its raw form, that's enough or would you like a little more, you'll try it, so you're cool. oh yeah why don't you eat cheese properly because you're a little weird I can't think of another cheese it's not that I'm an expert on Jesus it happens I'm just an expert at saying cheese I can't think of another one that has enough of that not even yes, I'm going to cut it . I know I should cut the corner and try it.

Yes, how is it? You have to compare it in English cheese or British cheese. Hmm, I don't want the. I'm biasing this article, but I'm going to say that American Jesus had his work cut out for him, so a quick recap because I wasn't really watching how you're frying bread with mayonnaise and slathered upside down in butter, yeah, but Hobb is way more powerful than this , so I think it will be ready sooner, it takes a little while to warm up, which one do you want American or British? That one, yeah, let's start with the American one, okay, we could probably put the cheese on it, you, put the cheese on. on that side yes, yes, no butter, no, just leave it aside, yes, fry it in butter, so I don't think it's necessary, does it flip?

Yes, once the other part is placed, doesn't the cheese fall out? Is it enough cheese? I want a little bit more cheese so it will melt, but the cheese needs to melt a little bit like that before we put the second slice on and then we flip it over and the cheese won't touch the pan well, that cheese will never melt because I guess. It may melt, but in the process the bottom of the bread will burn well. It's starting to smell like hot cheese. I don't know if American cheese would really melt. It feels a little like putting hamburgers on it.

Yes, but it doesn't actually melt. I guess so, it feels like that kind of rubber hose that is used specifically because it doesn't melt and the bread is burning now, although yeah, oh why am I doing this overseas? It's well done. I'm making a burnt cheese sandwich and a raw one too. I like burnt toast as it tastes so good, how do you feel about raw toast? Are you sure this works because it doesn't actually do anything? The light is on, yes, this. it's on its lowest setting maybe we'll just put it on keep warm mode when we focus on that or change them yeah we'll just change the pans why can't you do this?

I'm so bad at it, can you? Put British cheese on it please, yes folks, one piece or two pieces. A. I don't think I think very well. I don't think we have enough life left to consider two pieces of cheese. I know you don't like cheese. but you want to try this because technically I don't think it's cheese so you should be fine no thanks no it's very strange it's not true by the way monterey jack is the only cheese Americans make because it would be very Me offended that I said it was good, but it's the default type of American cheese, I think instead of the way cheddar is for us, if you just say cheesy, we usually mean there's a little bit of grated cheddar, If you say cheese and pickles. sandwich that would be grated cheddar cheese, wouldn't it maybe be red Leicester, but generally cheddar cheese and Americans often say if you want cheese by that they mean jack cheese, as they often refer to it.

Looks like they'll both be flops, well I guess. Again, it looks like the cheese is melting inside the sandwich. I'm going to burn the bread. I like a lot. You would like this level of burn. Yes, it's the only food I like. It's attached, so you said before. They're going to be toasted cheese sandwiches, but they're actually fried grilled cheese, it's not a fried grill, it's definitely a frying pan, even with my very limited knowledge of cooking, I know it's a frying board or a sandwich. Toaster fried cheese, maybe to make. life is easy, we should have made comparisons of raw cheese sandwiches that are probably already ready, it looks pretty melted.

I don't have high hopes for it, but you'll be the judge. I guess we can tell them apart. It's clearly a different look than that, okay? I'm going to sit down for a bit if you don't mind oh it's oozing oh yes so it's melted not the best utensils how would you like them to be cut and rectangular please who would have guessed? Do you know that there is a good reason to cut sandwiches in a rectangular shape. That's why I've been debating this with Peter on social media. The problem with triangular sandwiches, although people imagine them to be somehow more sophisticated, is that they are actually harder to eat because once you've bitten into the corner. you end up with a piece of sandwich too big to shove in your face, whereas the rectangular sandwich, which is what genuinely fancy sandwiches are, is the same width throughout, so you can go bang bang bang bang bang I won't go near it that for at least a minute oh okay, too hot I thought you were just going to say I'm not going to eat it no, I'm definitely going to eat it do a Lucy and refuse to waste some cheese look this is ready, it's like You could it's like you could mold little engineering components out of that, it's like ABS plastic or something, it's pretty hot.

I wouldn't eat so well. It's always a great recommendation when the chef hands you some food and tells you that he wouldn't eat that, but you have to remember the people in my pub say that when they serve food to the people there, you should go, no, I wouldn't need that, I can tell it's too hot, we'll just have to wait, okay, it's like I say on the half more, the mayonnaise adds a nice crunchy touch to the outside, although on the other half it's more Char. Deep down I'm very fond of you Lucy, but I can honestly say it's bullshit, really try it and you better try that. but no, it's cheese, but it's not really cheese, it's just that you've turned it into something else, so don't worry, it won't offend your cheese sensitivity because it doesn't contain cheese, there's a high chance I'll get sick, oh, doors.

I'm here, would you like to eat some cheese? This will come in, everyone will. So, that's pretty burnt Jack cheese. Yeah, okay, although look at the size of the bite you took. Look, I know it's delicious, right? I like it a lot. overly burnt burnt toast is good bro, cheese is a bit irrelevant, you even managed to make cheddar cheese taste like nothing, so the bottom line here is that I shouldn't cook Ed, that was a bit better, give me a little, it's like saying yes, me. I don't know, diarrhea is a little better than dysentery, technically it is.

I know what you did wrong. Actually, do you see it? I think it. What you should have done with the Jack cheese sandwich, especially, is add American mustard, which saves everything but also allows me. to make a very convenient and not at all artificial stopper for my new gin. I don't mind hitting myself, there's a bottle there that's American Mustard, the spirit of America, thanks for watching, like, comment, subscribe, link to American Mustard Gin sales in the US and Europe are in the description thanks for watching and thanks for watching well I'll tell you what yeah something that really spreads yeah I'll do it on my bed too let's spread it with the spreader outside.

I can tell you that you know it's going to be better, well if it's a big improvement it's amazing, so what's the best American? Well, if I cook, I think you would clarify that fair, it's not right, I have to go supervise something.
