- James May is back in the bunker kitchen and this week he's making a slightly odd sandwich. You suggested bacon, banana and peanut butter, and once again James is obliging.

This sandwich has a 50% chance to give you enough energy to get through the rest of the day without eating anything else and 50% chance to knock you out immediately. And if you roll a natural 20 you get picked up by a record label and become the most legendary rock and roll artist of your time
That sandwich and raspberry glazed donuts are the only food substances fot for a king (of Rock and Roll)
If you roll a natural 1 you die of a heart attack on the toilet
@@TheBACONBREAD Truly the Elvis sandwich is the controller of fate in this world
Roll a natural 20 and the head comes off. Wait a minute, that’s a sword of sharpness.
I feel like you need to confirm the crit and roll another 20. The first twenty to get picked up, the second to become the most recognized artist of your era and beyond.
James is the most interestingly boring man and I love him dearly like a strange uncle
CLARCKSON!!!
Boring?!
i could watch him all day lol
Same
This comment is, in some form or another, under every video starring James May and it's rapidly becoming quite obnoxious
The James May on the fridge and real James May is like looking in the mirror after a night of heavy drinking
smite me if it isn’t extremely accurate
Indeed! Someone get this man a comb.
"Even Lucy Brown does not object."
That's impressive.
Jeremy Clarkson: Farmer
Richard Hammond: Business man
James May: Sandwich maker
But l still love James the most.
Jeremy Clarkson: Pillock
Richard Hammond: Irritant
James May: Couperin specialist.
Jeremy Clarkson: very rich pillock
Richard Hammond: irritant, but cute
James May: do not inferstand the Couperin reference; is it something rude?
@@evelynsutton4411 Couperin was a 18th century composer. James May studied music at University.
@@DavidHartley88 Aha. l knew James studied music but have not heard of Couperin. Thanks for the info, l suspect some googling coming up!
"Other bacons are available."
I love James May. Just love him.
This is Elvis Presley's favorite sandwich. I don't know if he invented it, but he made it famous.
Wasn't Elvis' version deep fried after though?
He did invent it.
@@Bestwick1983 not deep fried, the peanut butter would be a massive problem. Fried like a grilled cheese if I remember correctly. Can’t remember if they fried it in the bacon fat, but that would be so much better.
I was thinking of Elvis the entire time
@@Sophie-and-Ken The Elvis version was deep fried. Peanut butter, jelly, bacon and banana lightly battered and deep fried. It was what he ordered almost any time he ate in a diner.
My favourite sandwich of all time; ham, lettuce and tomato in a buttered baguette and then stuffed with salt-n-vinegar crisps.
Tomato w/ham? Isn't that against the law?
tasty
you had me in the first half haha
Now we need Lister's favorite sandwich from Red Dwarf, the triple fried egg butty with chili sauce and chutney. I don't know what kind of chili sauce they used in the show but I think it's awesome with sri racha and chutney.
Yes! Upvote this man, this must be featured, purely to see James' reaction to it.
I think the sauce could be sweet chilli sauce - I don't know how popular sriracha was during its production
LISTER
Actually, Lister's favourite is a Sugar Puff sandwich. But the triple fried egg butty with chili sauce and chutney would be far more interesting.
Its a great sandwich
iv had it a couple times and it very much produces the same reaction rimmer had
If James may wasn’t a presenter he’d be the man at the bus stop talking to you about his sandwich and you’d enjoy listing too him
Now fry the sandwich like a grilled cheese. Makes for melty peanut butter and soft sweet bananas, with a nice buttery crunch from the fried bread. Way better than unfried.
This is the best advice you can give for most sandwiches. Makes it a whole other experience with nice crispy, but still kinda flaky bread.
I was at least hoping he would fry the banana with the bacony goodness
I just assumed it was understood they're to be toasted.
It's then an Elvis
You weren't given a toaster by the queen.
I recommend the most iconic television sandwich of all time: the *Grilled Charlie* . The recipe couldn’t be simpler:
peanut butter outside, butter inside, chocolate inside, cheese outside and two slices of bread at the center of it all.
I feel like introducing James to Always Sunny couldn't end well, he'll go full Frank.
I will admit to never having tried the full Elvis version with the bacon, but I grew up eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches, and I still do occasionally, howeverso many decades later :)
I think the Elvis version is known as Fools Gold which is essentially a large loaf coated with butter and baked. Then split in two and hollowed out. Then you put an entire jar of peanut butter and a jar of jam with bacon sandwiched in between. Yum?...
@@patatasbravas5188 that just sounds evil... why would someone eat that?!
Peanut butter and banana provided all the amino acids for protein - hence its use for school kids.
honestly, i have never heard of bacon being added to the peanut butter & banana sandwich, as the Elvis sandwich
@@patatasbravas5188 The Fool Gold is a sandwich he first had in Denver. You can still buy it at Nick’s Cafe. I don’t believe it was a regular part of his diet. The peanut and banana sandwich was. I grew up on this sandwich ( minus the bacon) and am surprised when people have never tried it. Maybe it is a regional thing. The Elvis sandwich. at Graceland does not have bacon on it. It is fried in bacon grease instead.
The banana looks like it could have used a bit more time to ripen.
Either way, eager to try it.
This is definitely one of my favourite series on TH-cam at the minute. James is such a natural in front of the camera, sense of humour on point and his delivery captivates you.
I'm watching an old geezer making sandwiches from a magic fridge for goodness' sake! Goes to show how much James can make anything interesting. From unboxing a car to just talking about sandos.
It's almost like he spent the last 30 years on tv
Try a BLT, it’s a classic:
Butter
Licorice allsorts
Turnip
Hahaha. Where I'm from it's Bacon, Lettuce, and tomato
This has to be a joke
That is pure evil.
Isn't a turnip a rude sort of vegetable?
@@pamelah6431 what?
They were so close to an Elvis sandwich, if they only fried it in the pan with the bacon fat.
I was waiting for that this entire video. I always thought you'd eat this sandwich like a grilled cheese.
I really thought they were going for that. 😐
Hey James & Tribe Crew, Im from the southen US (Mississippi) and a staple sandwich here for us true southerners would be a tomato sandwich (2 pieces of white bread, mayo on both slices, cut a red tomato width wise, put salt on the tomato to taste.) if you really wanna get fancy and you can get it in England, the mayo of choice for me is a brand called "Blue Plate" id love to see you try it, it is my all time favorite sando
if i were a child watching this i would have genuinely thought that the fridge was magical and always contained everything james needed. i really like this despite not being interested in food, mostly for james.
wait, it isn't magical???? 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
"Not interested in food"
Yeah it's not like you need it or anything, don't worry about it.
"Grilled cheese" with roast beef and sautéed onions (I prefer red onions, but your choice) in it. Sautee the onions, once done you can choose to warm your roast beef a bit. Butter the bread on one side only, add a few slices of your cheese (my preference is pepperjack), then layer in the onions and roast beef. Proceed with making your "grilled cheese."
Hello there, technically the sandwich was reasonably well built however... there's one miss step and that is the butter spread, the right way is build the sandwich without lurpak, what you do is add the lurpak to the pan with the bacon drippings and then you toast the sandwich in the pan on both sides until golden brown. Cut it diagonally and enjoy.
This is James May. There WILL be Lurpak spreadable butter. Every. Time. Get used to it.
That's just the way it is.
You are so close. The lurpak can work, but there are other issues. First off, his bacon was not crispy enough. Bake in a 350 f oven for 25 mins (obviously I gave away being American but let's face it, this is an American sandwich.) On a wire rack. Bacon goes against the lurpak with the banana in the middle. Also , the banana needs to be thinly sliced longways, in thirds. Smooth peanut butter was the right call. After all of this, a VERY thin layer of mayonnaise must be placed on the outside of the bread, and then pan fried like a toasted cheese.
Three slices of bacon is too many. Two will suffice if it is cooked properly
@@hamah0y1 I'd rather just have a bacon sandwich. And who bakes bacon unless you're making a ton of it?
That is the proper way and it would have made the Elvis much better.
My favourite sandwich: fresh baguette, nduja spread on one side, genovese pesto on the other, rocket (arugula) layers of coppa, jambon cru/prosciutto, sundried tomatoes sliced
I would recommend a “fluffernutter” (the official sandwich of New Hampshire, USA) and a personal favorite : Peanut butter and marshmallow spread. However, I’m not sure you can get marshmallow spread in England.
I’m sure their grocery stores have an American foods sections. Jiffy should be easy to get.
how does that work with bacon ? not really, i guess
Amazon ebay
Marshmallow fluff/spread is extremely expensive here, though it is available
Marshmallow spread is from the devil. Just the right thing for James
Here's your perfect balance: CHOCOLATE | BANANA | PEANUT BUTTER. I use this combination in milk shakes, and I think it would work well as a sweet sandwich and/or pastry. FYI: placing bacon and peanut butter in the same dish is, most likely, a salty/oily overkill.
Man's a multimillionaire with a few Ferraris in the garage and wears a Casio G-Shock , gotta love that
He does have a Rado!
His mothball scented Shirts are older than me.
He's been seen wearing many a watch though
hey my Casio is like 15 years old and still running on the original battery
Solar powered!
@@moosemaimer Solar watches have capacitors, they last a real long time!
My new favourite is:
1) slice an apple into thin round slices
2) Toast 2 slices of bread, butter it while it's still hot so the butter melts
3) lay the apple slices on the toast, and very lightly drizzle a small amount of maple syrup on top
4) carefully and lightly dust (you could use a small seive, I don't) cinnamon over the slices (you can do this in layers if you want a couple of layers of apple).
5) add the other slice of toast, slice in half and enjoy.
It's like having a wee apple pie for breakfast/ lunch. 🍏🥪
This is one of my favorite sandwiches, but the ratios are vital. Peanut Butter and Banana are very overpowering if used in excess. I go very heavy on the bacon (like 6-8 rashers) and light on the PB and Banana. Also consider lightly toasted bread for some texture. Serve with strong and sweet coffee. Delicious.
This is one of my favorite new series on TH-cam. He should take these recipes and write another book!
Toast the Bread....Never add butter. And you should use "Crunchy" Peanut Butter.. Banana slice long ways to fit the bread. add bacon. Slice on a Diagonal
I don’t know if you’re allowed to make a sandwich in the UK without starting with butter. It may be illegal. It’s certainly against the rules of the Bug-Out Bunker Kitchen.
Sandwich without buttered bread is heresy
This is James May, it's going to have spreadable butter.
@@Raymond_Pork I can't for the life of me remember when it was invented..
also, american bacon must be cooked on low. this bacon here had raw bits as well as burned bits. gross dude
With Thanksgiving approaching, may I as a restless colony'er, suggest The Gobbler.
Sliced Turkey/ Mashed Potatoes/ Chunky Cranberry Sauce(with real crans)/ Stuffing/ and Gravy - served on 2 slices of white bread.
Delicious!
Might I recommend, on a bread roll, carved Turkey breast (or deli Turkey if absolutely necessary) with some cranberry sauce, a slight spread of mayonnaise and topped with Turkey stuffing recipe of your choice. It’s magnificent.
With a gravy soaked piece of bread in the middle........sorry friends show reference 🤣🤣....but it makes a world of difference 👍👍
@@bigboygravy304 MY SANDWICH
Very tasty, but standard enough imo.
@@donalcoleman8793
I was thinking that this videos was basic but I’m wondering if that’s just more of a geographical factor with these things (pb, banana and bacon is going to be found at quite a few breakfast places near me).
I do similar but with pigs in blankets, bread sauce, gravy and sprouts. No bread and on a plate.
All I come to this channel for, is sandwiches, this is great, I've been binging this for the last few days and I love it! And I didn't even know who James were when I got here.
You can peel a banana more easily by starting at the non-stalk end. Pinch the end, putting pressure on the ridges, and the skin will start splitting along them.
No
Close to being my favourite sandwich. My one has blackcurrant jam with smooth peanut butter and slightly overripe bananas in it. Absolutely delicious!
Canadian opinion here: "too much" and "bacon" should not be used in the same sentence.
As an American I must agree
Unless that sentence is “never too much bacon”
Great thing about living in Texas?
Whatever you want you can have it with bacon! 😁
And this is why I want to come to Canada for Uni/ College😂
Canadian bacon is ham
0:56 "sainsburys pay the difference bacon" 🤣🤣 I love James, straight to the real point! Lol
When I was in university about 7 years ago one of my creations which became a staple of my diet was my dried apricot and Nutella sandwiches. Plenty of butter first, be very liberal with the Nutella, about 6 - 8 dried apricots. Try it James!
no margarine on inside of sando. butter outer half's an then fry the whole sandwich, and not so much peanut butter., also mash the banana! and if you can batter the whole sandwich then fry it and serve it with jelly
This is the famous Elvis Presley sandwich!!
Elvis' sandwich was quite a bit larger and served with a bottle of champagne though
@@duckdog8052 And a toilet to sit on.
@@Elwaves2925 probably won't get up again 🤣
Elvis fried his
I've always loved this one.
Presliced individually packaged cheese (eg. Kraft Singles) and gherkin spread.
Keep this great show going.
This sandwich can be vastly improved by what in America is called "grilling", frying it in butter in a saute pan.
As an American, I agree.
or deep frying as some others have said in this comment section
Grilling it on a griddle is preferable. The grill marks add flavor.
Mr cheese man, grill me a cheese (dun dun dun dun) make it the cheesiest I’ve ever greezed
"Sainsbury's pay the difference bacon." Hilarious, James!
Seeing how May made a complete mess out of cooking bacon, I'm perplexed as to how he beat Gordon Ramsey... 😛
no bacon in a fish pie
I feel James on this one. Bacon turns explosive when cooked in a pan.
Gordon Ramsay can't even make a grilled cheese. Or Ramen according to Uncle Roger.
Toasted seeded bread, one side spread with crunchy peanut butter and a fried egg. Beautiful
How many other Americans are screaming at James that you don't add butter on a sandwich already includes peanut butter?
Never heard of such a silly thing
Some people do pb and j with butter
I'm Canadian, I wouldn't put butter either.
to me, peanut butter is monogamous. it's only partner is jelly/jam
Americans seem to be screaming so often, it's best to just ignore them.
Next idea should be what sorter stuff best goes with Yorkshire puddings
If it hasn't already been said on here;
From an American, if you're going to do this, the bacon needs to be extra crispy. The best is just peanut butter and banana, but either way YOU DON'T PUT BUTTER ON EITHER
Amen brother!
Ya that was hard to watch.
You don't put eggs in the fridge but you do put a banana in there? Come on, May!
Yeah. Banana's last longer in the fridge. And we're advised by our version of the FDA to keep eggs unrefrigerated
Anything with bacon and Lurpak spreadable butter invented in 1901 is going be delicious, this fact is entirely undisputable.
@@rastas_4221 Ah, but you have to taste bacon, not see it. See! You used the wrong sense.
I'd suggest toasting the bread and employing some maple flavor somewhere on the 2.0 version of this sando! That would probably give it the American-style breakfast taste that would make it much more appetizing.
I'd love to see James try a Korean Isaac's Toast style sandwich. It's made with toasted bread, egg, ham, pickles, sweetcorn, American cheese, cabbage, and special sauce made with kiwi salad sauce, mayonnaise and honey.
Reading your comment has made me hungry lol. That sounds nice I might have to google
It and try it.
Multigrain farmhouse bread, west country vintage cheddar, breaded ham, iceberg lettuce and Branson pickle (small chucks). Now that's the ultimate sandwich here in Lincolnshire! Get that on the go, may. You'll love it!
I feel like adding the lurpak was a mistake, unless you use it to toast off the bread first. This isn't the type of sandwich for cold butter. I feel like that would really take away from it. Didn't usually use bacon, but I grew up eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches, and adding cold butter spread to it sounds horrid.
Butter goes on all sandwiches what sort of peasant eats dry bread sandwiches??
@@lukecowell7516 it's got peanut butter already busta
I never heard that elvis used bacon,I always thought it was peanut butter and bannana
Try a sandwich with squares of milk, dark or white chocolate with jam (Lurpak Spreadable Butter, invented in 1901, to be used at your discretion)
A full English breakfast sandwich. Toast as the bread, with bacon, sausage, fried egg, tomato, mushrooms, and baked beans.
"slightly odd sandwich"?
Up yours, James May.
I have always loved cucumber and cranberry sauce baguettes. I used to live in Witney, Oxfordshire and order this from the local sandwich shop. I always got a strange look but it actually tastes fantastic!
I’m shocked to see James may doesn’t know the easier way to open the banana is by the other end. Feel like he would be mind blown by the simplicity
He tried both ends and failed at both ends.
How does James forget the dates every video? Its even on the top of the tub and on the side of the fridge. So funny!
A favourite sandwich from my childhood was Vegemite and Coco-Pops/Cocoa-Puffs. It was better with a crusty bread roll but white sandwich bread would do in a pinch. I have no idea why but I am Australian which means I'm not quite right in the head by default.
I bought bread from a man from Brussels.
He was 6ft 4" and full of muscles.
I asked if he Spoke 'A' my language.
He Smiled and gave me his Vegemite Sandwich.
Do you come from the Land down under.
Where women glow and men chunder.
Can't you Hear the Thunder???
*Sorry dude could not resist*
When I was a kid I would have ketchup, sugar and crisps sandwiches
Theres a swedish variety of this called Flygande Jakob. A combo of peanuts, banana, chicken + bacon all combined with a creamy mild curry sauce.
Loads of different ways to combine it. With rice, on pizza, with chips, roasted potatoes or indeed a sandwich.
Highly recommended.
I think they need to try the divine Hummus, Cream Cheese and Marmite Sandwich.
does this work if the bread is toasted ?
@@clockwork9827 not tried it.
That sounds exquisite!
I can't help wondering if it would work better with Feta?
That fridge is just fantastic. I want one.
3rd attempt at asking
Please do a *Greek Cypriot toasted sandwich:*
-A soft bread bun
-Butter
-Halloumi
-Cucumber (optional)
-Tomatoe (optional)
-Lountza slices (cured pork tenderloin)
-CYPRIOT piccalilli (check Wikipedia)
-Slightly toast the inside of the bun before also
Sau Rupee, a cultured man.
Cottage cheese/mint chutney/ museli sandwich try it sir james may
Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and cream cheese! That’s one of my favorites.
WHAT WAS THAT BANANA TECHNIQUE
Salt & vinegar crisps, soft cheese, chives and a little chilli sauce 👌🏽
Chaource cheese, highly recommended.
I recommend a weird sandwich I used to eat as a child which was: butter, circular cucumber slices and tomato ketchup on white bread.
The key to this sandwich is, once assembled, to fry it in the rendered bacon fat and serve warm. Also use a ripened banana so it will be sufficiently sweet and mushy. The juxtaposition of mushy banana, crispy bacon, smooth peanut butter, and crunchy bread creates a glorious amalgamation of heterogeneity. Honey optional.
In the states we enjoy a fabulous sando comprised of leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner.
I recommend at least turkey, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy, but your sando is only limited by last night’s spread
I have a question, is toasting the bread not a thing back in the 70s in Britain?
You toast the bread when you're going to dump a can of soggy baked beans all over it.
@@zhiracs Or cheese. Or cheese and Worcester sauce. Or cheese and beans. Or....you get the idea.
Sure, but it depends what you're having on it. And how fresh the bread is. We didn't have a toaster when I was growing up in England in the 70s so toast had to be grilled in the cooker.
A favorite of mine is a meat and cheese toastie; Bread (i use Wholemeal), Marmite on one side with Lurpak (Invented in 1901) and Peanut-Butter on the other side (no Lurpak (invented in 1901), salami (cut slices into quarters with corners matching), ham same as Salami, cheese (i use Old English), tomato. Cooked in a sandwich press till cheese is melted and bread is toasted to desired level ( light caramel brown toasted colour for me) slice Rectangularly (Of course) and enjoy.
I’m going to guess that Lucy Brown complains the most at the Drivetribe/Foodtribe offices and Mike is a close second
Scrambled eggs, butter and tarragon mustard sandwich!
I just realised that even French people have feelings. So i'd like to apologise to Lucy for being horrible.
Because Lucy Brown is a typical French name.
I clicked on the video out of sheer morbid curiosity
Never put bananas in the fridge. They go black. On another point, "too much" and "bacon" are mutually exclusive
Butter, honey, Indian savoury, cottage cheese cubes
James may was always my idol, but now when Ive seen him open a banana from the WRONG side, my life will sadly change.
SAUSAGE AND MARMALADE SANDWICH 🥪
OR
Chicken and waffles sandwich
Instead of using bread as the outside of your sandwich, try waffles. Top with sliced chicken, bacon and your favorite vegetables. Mix cream cheese and maple syrup for a creamy, sweet spread for this play on the Southern classic.
As noted below - this is the sandwich which killed Elvis. Or contributed to his death somewhat. Except his were fried in butter.
At Gracelands you could buy a cookbook of Elvis' favourite recipes called Are You Hungry Tonight!
Try my version of a tuna sando
Tuna mix: Two regular cans of albacore white tuna drained of water. Mix in a bowl with 1 Tbl spoon Mayo, 1 Tbl spoon spicy brown mustard, 1 Tea spoon Horseradish, 2 tea spoons truffle oil, black pepper and fine sea salt.
Lightly toast the two pieces of government bread. LURPACK both breads, add one slice of swiss cheese and tuna mix. Enjoy and you might have some left over tuna salad.
The banana was not even ripe 🤣😂
And stored in the fridge. 😁
Yes it was, it wasn't green in any way.
@@dennett316 Bananas aren't fully ripe til they develop a few freckles.
That has to be the least ripe banana in the history of sandwiches
3:51 "i can rely on one of you to be a bit weird"
Lolololololololo😂
I just watched a grown man open a banana from the wrong end. And i loved it.
Ham & Cheese(Kraft Cheese Singles) on White Bread with Masterfoods Australian Mustard
Serve with Black Tea 1 Sugar and milk, of Course.
A favorite from my Great Grandmother back when I was younger.
Whole-wheat multi-grain sliced bread (slightly toasted), layer of tomato and/or onion (should do both), layer of whole tinned sardines, drizzle malt vinegar over the fish.
A local restaurant makes this with added strawberry jam and red pepper flake. All the flavors. The 'Ballistic Elvis' at Iron Barley.
suggestion for Tribers' Sandos - egg bagel with everything seeds, 2 eggs (I prefer scrambled), sausage patty, hash brown patty (very lightly salted) and either scallion or strawberry cream cheese. if you want it slightly sweeter use the strawberry.
The Elvis sandwich. I combine with fool's loaf sandwich that Elvis also liked and add some jam (raspberry not grape).
Great episode!
The Monte Christo. Two slices of French toast, grape or strawberry jam, and a slice of ham-steak, coated in powdered sugar. There are a few ways of doing it, but this one is my favorite
Crunchy Peanut Butter, Orange Marmalade, and Sriracha... best sandwich ever.
I need a magnetic James May to put on the front of my fridge.
Fairy Bread - white bread, butter and 100 and 1000s. first mentioned in Australia 1929 and has been a children's birthday treat ever since.
