Back in the late 80's I was a spotty student in Swansea. I got a summer job at the Smiths factory in Fforestfach and used to make the things. If you held down the little spinny blade that cut the puffed maize as it came through the shaping die you could make one of indefinite length. We used to make them about three yards long and joust with them in a middle-ages stylee.

James, I have a couple sandwiches from my grandparent's past that you may want to try. 1. In the 1950's, my grandmother would pack herself a cream cheese and lettuce sandwich for lunch everyday. This somehow came up in the story of her meeting my grandfather. I've tried it, it's delicious and refreshing! 2. Now, from my grandfather we have a ketchup sandwich. Yes, it's exactly as it sounds. Bread & ketchup. My grandparents were quite poor at times, so the ketchup sandwich was probably made as a cheaper alternative to a tomato sandwich. I don't know when my grandfather started eating them, but my dad recalls him still enjoying them in the 1970's and 80's, even though they could definitely afford tomatoes by then. I have not tried it, as it sounds awful. Both sandwiches were probably on plain white bread. Enjoy James!
I read a book as a child called Molly Moon and ketchup sandwiches were Molly's (the main character's) favourite snack! She carried restaurant ketchup sachets around with her for emergencies.

That is outrageous that you threw the Monster Munch out! Living briefly in England when I was a kid, I loved them and was so happy when I found a place near me in New Zealand that sold them!
Pickled Onion monster munch is one of my all time favorite snack foods when I’m in the UK. Impossible to find in the US, and quite hit or miss to get such a crush-risk snack imported 😅
Amazon has them. You can get three packs of six for like 20 bucks. I just tried it for the first time. I’m not blown away by the flavor but somehow, I’m three bags in and it’s only been an hour since they arrived and I don’t know how that happened.
Holiday sandwich: Turkey, ham, stuffing, on sourdough. Smear gravy on one slice with turkey laid on it. Smear cranberry sauce on the other slice with ham on it. Put the stuffing in between. Heaven.
Turkey and stuffing sandwiches are very popular and you can get them from late November in all the main supermarkets around Christmas. Common as leftovers on Boxing Day. Delicious. It’s not unusual we have it in the UK.
"How the West Was Won" sandwich. This has a mix of mayo and BBQ sauce on one piece of bread, romaine lettuce, pepper jack cheese, chopped grilled bbq chicken cut into strips (cold), sliced red bell pepper, BBQ sauce drizzle (plenty of it flood the cowling). Enjoy.
Agree with you totally...sacrilege. The experience would have been better with one or the other. Don't often manage to find Monster Munch out here in NZ, and it was heartbreaking to see him sling the packet, in all its "sharp pickled onion goodness" in the bin. Does the man not like pickles?
I think you should try to make the king of all sandos, a muffaletta. It's usually made on a round loaf of bread sliced in half with salami, cappicola, and mortadella. Then topped with mozzarella and provolone. Then some creole olive salad is spooned on top along with some pickled pepperoncini peppers, salt, and pepper. Then you close the sando wrap and then cut. It could feed a small army.
Can we get James May to try "foreign" sandwiches? I'd like to submit Halve Hahn from the cologne region: rye bread roll, pickles, raw onions and *CHEESE!* (usually medium ripe Gouda, but you do you), if you like mustard put some on. This strikes me as something Captain May should like.
Can't help but feel like this format is starting to grind may's gears, but maybe some other ancient cooking techniques we haven't heard of could be interesting?
😆 I can't believe James has never had Monster Munch. I'm American and I love Monster Munch!! Ordered a combo bag through Amazon and I'm now addicted to the picked onion flavor.😋
It's very strange that a British person of his generation hasn't had them. Most kids of the 70s were brought up on a diet of Monster Munch, Frazzles and Tizer. Maybe he's a bit too posh.
Monster Munch sandwiches are highly regarded by the Michelin starred chef, Tom Kerridge, as they were a highlight of his childhood growing up in Matson, Gloucester. I'm sure James knows him, so give him a call...

Hi FoodTribe! On behalf of my fellow Danes, I would like to address the way James is handling the Lurpak spreadable butter. When you open up a fresh package of Lurpak, you remove the paper lit, and throw it in the bin, the thin paper lit do not belong back on the butter. Thank you - Mads Kjærgaard on behalf of all danes
My suggestion for this, I call it the Black Friday sandwich (Sandos). This the sandwich I would take to work the day after Thanksgiving, AKA black Friday in the US. 2 slices of white bread, or a large dinner roll if you have any left. 1 thick slice of turkey breast. Large spoonful of dressing/stuffing Pour over with gravy Microwave for 45 seconds.
Oh James... and only you would read the list of ingredients on crisps, and squeeze in the word "alliterative" 👏. And, no, it's not at all surprising that Lucy hasn't tried them.
Can you imagine Inviting Lucy to a birthday party when she was younger “Mum why have you got carrot batons” “There for Lucy I didn’t know what else to get” “But mum knowing Lucy she probably doesn’t like them either “
Toasted sesame seeded bagel, peppered German salami, sliced gouda cheese, yellow mustard and jalapeños. We call it the Telesto (pronounced as tell-ess-toe) bagel. Feel free to melt the cheese if desired. Acceptable modifications include substituting the jalapeños for gherkins, or using an alternate type of white cheese or a different variety of mustard. For a variation more befitting of a New York deli, use pastrami instead of salami.
I'm from the US and I am addicted to monster munch, haha. The pickled onion ones especially, but I like the flamin hot and roast beef too. That and the various onion ring crisps as well.
Hey guys! Kristen from Nashville (Detroit native). I was a 70-80’s kid as well and many of your 70s dishes we had too (ie, Spam, cheese sandwiches on white bread). Strange to have a touch of home cooking from a British dude. Anyway … pertaining to chips on sandwiches, no. Though we did have salty chips on our sloppy Joe sandwiches (ground beef, tomato sauce, seasonings, hamburger bun), that’s as close as it comes.
egg sandwich! - lightly toasted in the toaster oven on one side, toasted sides buttered, toasted sides to the inside, slice of muenster or havarti, ideally melted onto scrambled egg filling.
A favourite sandwich is a salt and vinegar crisp sandwich made with sourdough bread!!! The slight vinegar taste to the bread goes well 😀 also… crisps and chocolate is a brilliant combo (but not in a a sandwich!)
I don't doubt any person who enjoys sweets might like that, but it just sounds like diabetes in sandwich form. However, it's probably be better with slices of fruit inside, such as apple, kiwi and maybe peach.
@@ImRonDurden the point is to detract the amount of overwhelming sugary spreads with fruits. This is assuming thin/reasonable amounts of each spread is used to create balance. It's not just putting more sugars in an inherently sugary sandwich.
I think if they had the roast beef and pickled onion ones separately, they would have had fewer issues. Also, pickled onion monster munch actually pair surprisingly well with a sharp cheese like a mature cheddar!
@@GoodKingMort I saw one article saying "DriveTribe and all associated businesses" are going, hopefully James will restart his Unemployment Tube if so? 🤞
There's a guy on you tube who eats ww2, korean and vietnam ration packs. Hes still alive lol. Apparently though some of the old cigarettes in them are amazing as the tobacco ages really well.
When I was a kid - I loved home made chips, thick spread of Cheese Spread (Dairylea) and ketchup sandwiches! Heavenly! I bet no one tries that one - but the chips have to be thick proper chips NOT fries! Yummy!
Pickled Onion Monster Munch or get out of my house. It's surprising to me that I've never thought to put them in bread, I think I have to because it sounds bangin!
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.
American one: Peanut butter on both sides, plus Strawberry (or Grape) jam, plus potato chips!!! Love that sandwich. Or, try a New England variant: Peanut butter and Fluff (spreadable marshmallows) Or perhaps Peanut Butter, Nutella and Jam (PB on one slice and Nutella on the other with jam in the middle)
Until less than an hour ago I didn't even know what 'Monster Munch' was. I imagine it's similar to Twisties; where it's made from genetically modified corn that had been processed beyond death, then tossed around in flavourings that have designated numbers instead of actual names. When I was ten, I thought Twisties was the most wonderful thing in the world, especially the barbeque-flavoured one. Now as a thirty-five year-old man; I feel such 'snacks' shouldn't exist and I regret even trying them.
I think Doritos can be added to almost any sandwich to make it better. Why not try a fish and chips with Doritos and see if it doesn't enhance the flavors
Controversy time...I think pickled onion Monster Munch are nearly inedible. Too pickled, they shred your mouth up too. Roast beef and the flamin' hot ones are great though. Too many of them will start to affect your mouth, but not as much as the pickled onion ones, and the roast beef in particular are tasty. Seeing James throw away a Great British snack like Monster Munch should be grounds for treason!
We don't really have those, here. We have corn based puffs that are pretty much always cheese flavor & nothing else, or multi flavored corn chips, like Doritos or Fritos. If Walkers is owned by Lays (which seems likely, since they use the exact same logo), the Fritos are probably the closest thing we have.
Lemon Sandwich: whole lemon slices, remove rind, dust with powdered sugar. Then stack between buttered slices of white bread cut into circles. A cherry on top. 😊

The disrespect never throw monster munch in the bin especially picked onion flavour.
egg sandwich! - lightly toasted in the toaster oven on one side, toasted sides buttered, toasted sides to the inside, slice of muenster or havarti, ideally melted onto scrambled egg filling.
James May puts the papery cover back on the Lurpak after each use. Evidence of insanity is right there....😐
What?... You mean you don't? !!?
Weird sandwich : peanut butter on one bread, schezwan sauce + green chilli sauce on the other and filled with scrambled eggs (chicken masala)
A favourite sandwich is a salt and vinegar crisp sandwich made with sourdough bread!!! The slight vinegar taste to the bread goes well 😀 also… crisps and chocolate is a brilliant combo (but not in a a sandwich!)
Thank you for clarifying the Lurpak issue
Suggestion- chip butty, curry sauce, ketchup and a chopped battered sausage with salt and vinegar. One of the best things in existence
James was wearing this same shirt on The Grand Tour episode ‘Funeral for a Ford’ when him and the guys were riding along in the ST200
Highly recommend you try a chocolate spread, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich.
They are incredible.
I don't doubt any person who enjoys sweets might like that, but it just sounds like diabetes in sandwich form. However, it's probably be better with slices of fruit inside, such as apple, kiwi and maybe peach.
@@Cheeky_Raccoon So you'd add more sugar, by adding fruit? lol
No.. fruit would not work in such a sandwich. That would be absolutely disgusting.
@@ImRonDurden the point is to detract the amount of overwhelming sugary spreads with fruits. This is assuming thin/reasonable amounts of each spread is used to create balance. It's not just putting more sugars in an inherently sugary sandwich.
I think if they had the roast beef and pickled onion ones separately, they would have had fewer issues. Also, pickled onion monster munch actually pair surprisingly well with a sharp cheese like a mature cheddar!
Came here after the announcement that DriveTribe is closing...is FoodTribe going too? 😢
I'm also looking for the answer to this 😔
@@GoodKingMort I saw one article saying "DriveTribe and all associated businesses" are going, hopefully James will restart his Unemployment Tube if so? 🤞
Both Drivetribe and Foodtribe are closing 😢
The fact you put the foil back on the butter before putting the lid on the tub of Lurpak invented in 1901 says you are clinically insane, James May!
James disgusted himself talking about Lurpak, lol!
It's amazing that James is still alive let alone thriving considering what he eats.
There's a guy on you tube who eats ww2, korean and vietnam ration packs. Hes still alive lol. Apparently though some of the old cigarettes in them are amazing as the tobacco ages really well.
When I was a kid - I loved home made chips, thick spread of Cheese Spread (Dairylea) and ketchup sandwiches! Heavenly! I bet no one tries that one - but the chips have to be thick proper chips NOT fries! Yummy!
I could eat that now!
Pickled Onion Monster Munch or get out of my house.
It's surprising to me that I've never thought to put them in bread, I think I have to because it sounds bangin!
American here, I think the closest thing to the monster munch here is the Cheetos paws or the Cheetos bones bag form Halloween.
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.
'Flamin' Hot' Monster Munch's (Red Pack) are by far the best.
Amen brother
American one:
Peanut butter on both sides, plus Strawberry (or Grape) jam, plus potato chips!!! Love that sandwich.
Or, try a New England variant:
Peanut butter and Fluff (spreadable marshmallows)
Or perhaps Peanut Butter, Nutella and Jam (PB on one slice and Nutella on the other with jam in the middle)
Until less than an hour ago I didn't even know what 'Monster Munch' was. I imagine it's similar to Twisties; where it's made from genetically modified corn that had been processed beyond death, then tossed around in flavourings that have designated numbers instead of actual names. When I was ten, I thought Twisties was the most wonderful thing in the world, especially the barbeque-flavoured one. Now as a thirty-five year-old man; I feel such 'snacks' shouldn't exist and I regret even trying them.
... cue Edith Piaf in background 🎼 (rien. rien de rien - non, je ne re-greeee...)
Monster munch is amazing!
I need you to try a peanutbutter and sambal ulek sandwich, a dutch/indonesian concoction. Alternatively; a peanutbutter and hagelslag sandwich.
hagelslag is so fun to eat
Just had a cheese and pickle sandwich with monster bunch. Beautiful, works with all crisps
I think Doritos can be added to almost any sandwich to make it better. Why not try a fish and chips with Doritos and see if it doesn't enhance the flavors
the video starting with ‘yo playerz’ really set it up for success
I like Lucy but I'm afraid she's gonna have to do some time for storing crisps in the fridge!!
My grandmother would make all of us peanut butter and cheese sandwiches. Usually a nice cheddar.
NEVER EATEN MONSTER MUNCH!!!!!!!! 😱 what’s wrong with you man !
You guys should do an ASMR video. The crinkling of the crisp packets was on point.
James is the poorest multi-millionaire you'll ever see
I really want some Lurpak James May commercials at this point. Lol
Controversy time...I think pickled onion Monster Munch are nearly inedible. Too pickled, they shred your mouth up too. Roast beef and the flamin' hot ones are great though. Too many of them will start to affect your mouth, but not as much as the pickled onion ones, and the roast beef in particular are tasty. Seeing James throw away a Great British snack like Monster Munch should be grounds for treason!
We don't really have those, here. We have corn based puffs that are pretty much always cheese flavor & nothing else, or multi flavored corn chips, like Doritos or Fritos. If Walkers is owned by Lays (which seems likely, since they use the exact same logo), the Fritos are probably the closest thing we have.
Apserlutly love James May
Ham, sliced cheddar, pickled gherkins, branston pickle, mayo, mustard and chips. Best sandwich ever.
Food Tribe will be greatly missed
It's not going anywhere, as per the most recent Drivetribe video and pinned comment.
I loved Monster Munch first time round and still do
A sandwich I enjoy is sliced boiled egg, Colman's mustard, and sweet pickle relish.
Lemon Sandwich: whole lemon slices, remove rind, dust with powdered sugar. Then stack between buttered slices of white bread cut into circles. A cherry on top. 😊
