Seeing Lucy eat more than half the sandwich in one bite is so funny compared to the mouse nibbles every other time she's tried something in the Bugout Bunker. She was clearly excited for this one lol
It's James May making a sandwich and eating it...and yet, it is higher quality entertainment than 90% of videos on TH-cam. More sandwich content please!
James, for your gastronomic pleasure, may I suggest a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Peanut butter on one piece of the bread and then just enough honey to slightly soak in to the other piece, then placed together. It gives a lovely bit of a squish with each bite. A staple of my 1960’s and 70’s American childhood and I am salivating just now even thinking about it. No Lurpak invented in 1903 needed.
Peanut butter and honey and raisins is actually quite good. But then I'm the guy that thinks Vegemite and apricot jam on toast is wonderful. No, not that disgusting abomination Marmite.
pb and honey is one of my favorite uses for raw toast, unless meat/cheese is called for. not a fan of the chemical flavored white goo that is deconstructed marshmallow
I prefer pecan butter and honey but, you can't go wrong with peanut butter and honey since its a lot easier to find a variety of peanut butter, than it is to find pecan butter.
I've lived in the US all my life and I've literally never seen this sandwich before. There is something similar, however, from recent history. Back in the 1970s, to commemorate the presidency of Jimmy Carter, there was a "Jimmy Carter Sandwich" devised in his honor. It was 2 pieces of bread (no butter), each with a nice thick layer of peanut butter. On one piece, cover the entire surface of the peanut butter with mini marshmallows, a couple layers deep if possible. Then put the other piece on top to anchor the marshmallows between the layers of peanut butter. When cut in half, the cut sides have the appearance of president Carter's toothy grin. It's further a tribute to president Carter because it's made with peanut butter, and Mr. Carter was a peanut farmer in Georgia before he took up politics. There now, try again. Thanks!
I'm from Massachusetts, which is in America, and fluff is a staple in our diets growing up! Fluff, and subsequently fluffernutters, were invented here and are very common in New England. It's great on hot chocolate. But, whatever you do, DO NOT PUT BUTTER ON IT!
I've been an American for 41 out of 41 years and I've never had one of these. I think they're almost exclusively a New England thing. Also, I'm genuinely perplexed as to how that is supposed to pair with mustard flavored gin.
I’m an American as well and I have never had one of these nor been in the presence of anyone eating one. I think an American hot dog would pair better with mustard gin.
You got it. I grew up in New England and a Fluffer-nutter is peak kid food...we never put butter on it though. On a side note the Fluff is excellent on top of hot chocolate as well.
Definitely not a New England exclusive thing. I’ve lived in Florida my entire life (32 years) and have eaten them since I was a kid. I actually remember the jars of marshmallow fluff suggesting to make a fluffernutter on the back side years ago alongside “never fail fudge”. Both of those might actually still be on there 🤔
I was informed recently they are an especially New Hampshire thing. As a resident I have had perhaps a half-dozen in my life, but they certainly had never before been touted to me as local culture.
American for 55 of my 55 years. West coaster nearly all of that time. Have been eating these since I was a kid, and still do on occasion. If it's regional, it must be a left-coast thing. 🤷♂
@@mannywilliams6409 same it was fluffernutters my mom made for my brother, sisters and myself that made not like marshmellows pbj all the way at age 60 at least once a week
No butter! Just peanut butter and fluff on separate slices. Fun fact - in the US version of The Office S6E15, Michael Scott visits his former boss David Wallace, and David makes a fluffernutter sandwich while talking to Michael in his kitchen.
I understand he has on obsession with lurpak, but if the recipe doesn't call for butter, don't use it. He made the same mistake with the bacon, banana & peanut butter sandwich.
Hi James! Had not watched your content in years, but just the other day while at the local grocery store, i grabbed a packet of Lurpak from the shelf and caught myself muttering under my breath, the word: "1901". So now I'm back for what I'm sure must be a very important and enlightening video. Thanks!
I'm from the northeast USA where this was a childhood treat! I've never seen butter put on it. Typically it's just white Wonder Bread with peanut butter and Fluff. But you can go even further and do peanut butter, Fluff, AND jelly! it's a bit difficult to spread though, maybe easiest to put the jelly on last
@@999theeagle Ah that probably explains it. Im from the South so that didn't make it down here I guess. At least not in any big way. Odd though because I could see people liking it lol
From PA, and we made them there. Also, a podcast by people from CA that I love (The After Disaster) used to use the word as code that you were an OG listener. Never seen anyone add butter to it, but butter makes everything better.
Being from Maine Fluff was a thing as a kid but I'd say these days it's used more for making rice crispy squares than snack size sandwiches. More great content!
Chunky peanut butter , Nutella & marshmallow fluff might be good . Peanut butter thick on one side , Nutella thick on the other & marshmallow fluff in the middle & a big old glass of whole milk to wash it down .
While I know of fluffer nutter sandwiches, I believe they're more hypothetical, rather than something people actually eat here. You might be the only person I've ever seen eat one, so I'm going to say it's a British sandwich now.
I'm a 66 year old American child and have eaten more fluffer nutters than any sane person should ever consider.I don't know why I'm still alive. And no, no butter. Bread, Fluff, peanut butter, done.
I recently binge-watched his exploits with Oz Clarke, so it took the wind out of my sails a little to hear James utterly dismiss 'wine bores' and the food pairing idea. I'm always down for more bugout bunker content, though.
Attempted Suicide by sandwich? I imagine mixing that bread, Marshmallow and Peanut Butter would make suitable mortar for a brick building. And of course the girl who likes no normal food loves it!
So, my husband sends me your video because you are making a New England favorite! MY FAVORITE! Shocked and screaming at the video.... "THERE IS NO BUTTER (or whatever you used first) ON A FLUFF A NUTTER!!!! Etiquette! My God man! strictly peanut butter and fluff, NO MORE lol You need the peanut butter, or fluff to touch the pallet first NOT what you used. Please try again (and dont be cheap on the fluff lol) Besides that, we love your Gin James May!
Gotta be cookout food for that gin. Burger/Hot Dog, mashed potatoes, green salad. It's also lunch time, I'm hungry, and I want a G&T. Those things may be influencing my comment.
It's a northeast thing. Think a taste that must be acquired in childhood, otherwise the true chemical horror that is the fluffernutter is in full force. I might suggest a can of baked beans and some Lay's potato chips as a slightly more universal 'American' pairing for the gin I haven't tasted yet. The mustard evokes a summertime barbeque vibe.
The Fluff N Nutter is the official state sandwich of New Hampshire. As a New Hampshire native let me tell you this sandwich is 100% part of my childhood and my son’s favorite. ( there is no butter or lurpak added however )
Every kid in Massachusetts, possibly all of New England, had this as an alternative option to the main lunch menu in grade school. Goes well with chocolate milk. No Butter. Cut diagonally and placed in a wax paper wrap. It was practically all sugar. Good thing recess was right after lunch.
Still absolutely a thing in New England. Incredibly popular sandwich, and I grew up eating them about 20-25 years ago, while my nieces still eat them now.
The generic culinary term for Marshmallow Fluff is "marshmallow creme". I prefer to toast the bread for the fluffernutter, which helps with the bread collapsing as you spread the fluff and improves the mouth texture. Also, it's always better to cut sandwiches along the diagonal.
Peanut butter and Fluff!!! A true 'ol New Englander will squeal with glee upon mention of such a delicacy. If you can pull it off and make a grilled one it's absolute heaven on earth.
I think that would be better after a go in a sandwich toaster. Also crunchy peanut butter for extra texture. And for chocoholics perhaps a smear of chocolate spread.
Very regional sandwich. I never had one, living in the Midwest, until I moved temporarily to South Carolina. When I returned, no one knew what a fluffernutter was, and had about the same facial expression as you when I described it to them. It's like ordering Crab Rangoon or looking for pork steaks outside of the Midwest; they just look at you like you are daft. They are quite tasty and I get a craving at least once a year. That and an Elvis sandwich.
Alright…marshmallow fluff is not fondant! It’s a culinary insult to confectionary. The right pairing for your American Mustard Gin would probably be something like a canapé version on corned beef on rye bread…with pickles!
This is the sort of sandwich which was popular with the early boomer generation. Then quickly started to die out as time went on, with some exceptions in America. This is what you would have made, when the parents weren't looking at what you were having for breakfast. Most people, myself included would have only tried this because our parents told us about it. When we did finally make one, it was usually the last time. Speaking from experience, I remember just giving my mother the rest and having a PB&J afterwards.
As a New Englander this is a very New England sandwich not an American one, I'm fairly positive there are large parts of the US that have never heard of fluff let alone a fluffernutter. But as a Yankee, these bring me back to childhood. As an adult they are best with crunchy peanut butter.
I watched the video and scrolled all the comments just to see if I'd find another filthy monkey here. I just kept picturing Joe and Skippy making this instructional video for the galley.
Couple things to cover here: first right off the bat calling bread "raw toast" is wild. Secondly you only put butter on the outer side of the bread if you are going to have a grilled fluffernutter or as you may call it in blighty a "toastie" Fluffernutters originated in Massachusetts it's our state sandwich you would think it would have been something closer to what Delaware has which is a Thanksgiving style turkey sandwich with stuffing cranberry sauce and the works but the fluffernutter prevailed. They are a staple growing up in New England. I remember my cousin coming home from college or university as you would call it in Missouri and saying that nobody had ever heard of a fluffernutter and he had to bring his own marshmallow fluff to Missouri so he could have one of these. They're best grilled on the stove top in a pan like a grilled cheese or as you Brits might call it a toastie. However there is nothing wrong with the cold fluffernutter and a big glass of milk. The nutritional value of the fluffernutter did come into question at one point when they were on school lunch menus. There was objection from some people in power and I'm not going to name name to a positions that wanted the fluffernutter removed from the school lunch menu because rather than acting as a parent and telling the children that they cannot have that and they need to eat something else for lunch they wanted everybody's children to have the option taken away from them. And I remember my uncle sitting at the kitchen table during dinner saying "I can't believe we're having arguments about a fluffernutter sandwich in a school lunch menu, if you don't want your kids to eat it you tell them 'you're not allowed to have that' and if they have it you punish them, that's your responsibility as a a parent.. much like if you were a pescatarian, or a Catholic that didn't want your children to eat meat on Fridays, if you are a vegetarian or a vegan it is not your right to impose dietary restrictions on the children of others this is America and if my kid wants a fluffernutter he should have that option."
I mean, you could make a philly cheesesteak, a reuben, a club, but you choose a fluffernutter that no one but portly girls from Chicago eat, and then say it represents America. This is like saying Haggis represents the UK.
I do genuinely wonder if James believes anything he says about America or if it's all to generate controversy/commentary. Even going back to the early Top Gear days, about 95% of what any one of them said about America was simply not accurate, but they just did it as a gag (and probably some ignorance). James is not only smart enough to know better, he's been to the US enough times to know better. Then again 99% of his time in America has been in SoCal, so that's probably colored his ideas about us.
@@HikuroMishiroI think he's just memeing. He kept making comments on the massive hotel breakfasts he was eating in America acting like those were normal too.
as an american, nobody i know eats these. i have only heard them mentioned very rarely in movies or shows. i have never had one myself. pb&j is certainly more popular. in fact, it was only recently that i learned of the fluffernutter's existence. i think this is a regional food, like cheese curds. it would probably be better with a natural peanut butter than with a sweetened one.
I didn’t know this was an American thing! I think I’ve had it only twice in my 30 years if existing- both of which, when I was under the age of 10. 😂 and although I’m certainly no fluffernutter expert, I CAN tell you two things! One-we don’t eat this for breakfast in America, Lucy! This is a school child’s lunch akin to a peanut butter & jelly. And two-we certainly never put butter (or a vegetable oil spread) on them, James!!
Can you make another cookbook? We really like your first one as they are really straightforward easy to cook stuff, removes the need to think about what to eat. Thanks.
As an American, that IS a thing - my wife loves them. Personally I'd rather eat my shoe. And James' characterization of "builder's filler" is absolutely spot on. It's exactly like very sweet caulk.
The ultimate American sandwich would have a copious amount of meat, some obscene concoction of sauce, the merest suggestion of some fried veggie toppings to make it seem healthier than it is, and leave you in a coma until next morning.
Sauced drenched meat of your choice, a bit of green lettuce. Plus "Secrete sauce" and melted cheese of some type. Done. It would not have a literal ton of meat, but the total cost would suggest that it did. The brochure would also suggest that it was 100% meat from an actual farm, not an amalgamation of byproducts that it actually is.

It's like ordering Crab Rangoon or looking for pork steaks outside of the Midwest; they just look at you like you are daft. They are quite tasty and I get a craving at least once a year. That and an Elvis sandwich.
Alright…marshmallow fluff is not fondant! It’s a culinary insult to confectionary. The right pairing for your American Mustard Gin would probably be something like a canapé version on corned beef on rye bread…with pickles!
In Florida, drinking Asian Parsnip James Gin while watching James May make a fluffernutter sandwich... my life is complete.
Love the return of the bugout bunker!
Lucy!
You cut a sandwich _diagonally_
I will let it slide, this time. 😜

Lucy's getting braver/more daring from the looks of it as well
This is the sort of sandwich which was popular with the early boomer generation. Then quickly started to die out as time went on, with some exceptions in America. This is what you would have made, when the parents weren't looking at what you were having for breakfast. Most people, myself included would have only tried this because our parents told us about it. When we did finally make one, it was usually the last time. Speaking from experience, I remember just giving my mother the rest and having a PB&J afterwards.
As a New Englander this is a very New England sandwich not an American one, I'm fairly positive there are large parts of the US that have never heard of fluff let alone a fluffernutter. But as a Yankee, these bring me back to childhood. As an adult they are best with crunchy peanut butter.
it is pure mouth glue if you add more of the fillings.. keep up the fun James cheers.

Joe Bishop approved.
I watched the video and scrolled all the comments just to see if I'd find another filthy monkey here. I just kept picturing Joe and Skippy making this instructional video for the galley.
@v8thumpertwin I thought surely I couldn't be the only pirate watching this 😂
Couple things to cover here: first right off the bat calling bread "raw toast" is wild. Secondly you only put butter on the outer side of the bread if you are going to have a grilled fluffernutter or as you may call it in blighty a "toastie"
Fluffernutters originated in Massachusetts it's our state sandwich you would think it would have been something closer to what Delaware has which is a Thanksgiving style turkey sandwich with stuffing cranberry sauce and the works but the fluffernutter prevailed. They are a staple growing up in New England.
I remember my cousin coming home from college or university as you would call it in Missouri and saying that nobody had ever heard of a fluffernutter and he had to bring his own marshmallow fluff to Missouri so he could have one of these. They're best grilled on the stove top in a pan like a grilled cheese or as you Brits might call it a toastie. However there is nothing wrong with the cold fluffernutter and a big glass of milk.
The nutritional value of the fluffernutter did come into question at one point when they were on school lunch menus. There was objection from some people in power and I'm not going to name name to a positions that wanted the fluffernutter removed from the school lunch menu because rather than acting as a parent and telling the children that they cannot have that and they need to eat something else for lunch they wanted everybody's children to have the option taken away from them. And I remember my uncle sitting at the kitchen table during dinner saying "I can't believe we're having arguments about a fluffernutter sandwich in a school lunch menu, if you don't want your kids to eat it you tell them 'you're not allowed to have that' and if they have it you punish them, that's your responsibility as a a parent.. much like if you were a pescatarian, or a Catholic that didn't want your children to eat meat on Fridays, if you are a vegetarian or a vegan it is not your right to impose dietary restrictions on the children of others this is America and if my kid wants a fluffernutter he should have that option."
I mean, you could make a philly cheesesteak, a reuben, a club, but you choose a fluffernutter that no one but portly girls from Chicago eat, and then say it represents America. This is like saying Haggis represents the UK.
I do genuinely wonder if James believes anything he says about America or if it's all to generate controversy/commentary. Even going back to the early Top Gear days, about 95% of what any one of them said about America was simply not accurate, but they just did it as a gag (and probably some ignorance). James is not only smart enough to know better, he's been to the US enough times to know better. Then again 99% of his time in America has been in SoCal, so that's probably colored his ideas about us.
@@HikuroMishiroI think he's just memeing. He kept making comments on the massive hotel breakfasts he was eating in America acting like those were normal too.
as an american, nobody i know eats these. i have only heard them mentioned very rarely in movies or shows. i have never had one myself. pb&j is certainly more popular. in fact, it was only recently that i learned of the fluffernutter's existence. i think this is a regional food, like cheese curds. it would probably be better with a natural peanut butter than with a sweetened one.
Old man makes a sandwich.
This shouldn't be entertaining.
But it is! 😅
I didn’t know this was an American thing! I think I’ve had it only twice in my 30 years if existing- both of which, when I was under the age of 10. 😂 and although I’m certainly no fluffernutter expert, I CAN tell you two things! One-we don’t eat this for breakfast in America, Lucy! This is a school child’s lunch akin to a peanut butter & jelly. And two-we certainly never put butter (or a vegetable oil spread) on them, James!!
I bet Hammond would love these!
Synthetic fluff springs to mind! But your so entertaining James and love your hoodie matching your fridge! 🧡
Can you make another cookbook? We really like your first one as they are really straightforward easy to cook stuff, removes the need to think about what to eat. Thanks.
1:04 the bunker kitchen ghost would like you to hurry up and get it done please.
never stop making these videos
As an American, that IS a thing - my wife loves them. Personally I'd rather eat my shoe. And James' characterization of "builder's filler" is absolutely spot on. It's exactly like very sweet caulk.
I know exactly the smell of fluff James is talking about. Worth it. Not liking a fluffer nutter is like not liking a s’more
The ultimate American sandwich would have a copious amount of meat, some obscene concoction of sauce, the merest suggestion of some fried veggie toppings to make it seem healthier than it is, and leave you in a coma until next morning.
And of course, cheese!
Sauced drenched meat of your choice, a bit of green lettuce. Plus "Secrete sauce" and melted cheese of some type. Done. It would not have a literal ton of meat, but the total cost would suggest that it did. The brochure would also suggest that it was 100% meat from an actual farm, not an amalgamation of byproducts that it actually is.
The most profound content on the internet. God, how I missed it. 😂
I'm an American, and I've never heard of this until you brought it up
