Hammond vs May: Who makes the best poached eggs?

Poached eggs are a bit like beds - everyone has their own way of making them. When we heard James May and Richard Hammond can’t agree on the best way to do them, we knew it was time for a showdown. No walking on eggshells here - just a cracking head-to-head fight to the death. Or, y’know, eggs. Whatever.

If Clarkson was here, the whole kitchen would be on fire.

James May is the most interesting, uninteresting person in the world. They're talking about poached eggs and yet I couldn't stop watching.

"These are modern eggs, they came from a modern chicken"

- James May, 2020

I'm watching two grown men debating eggs, and it's still more interesting than most stuff I've watched lately

If there are any viewers who are wondering what it's like being married for a long time, just watch this video.

This just shows that no matter what they're doing, it's not the format or the channel or even the budget, it's the chemistry....From Top Gear, to Grand Tour, to making bludy poached eggs. They're the same around each other.

I watched this 5% for egg-poaching advice and 95% for Hammond and May bickering.
Leaving happy, as expected. :)

6:48 Hammond contemplating killing May is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

james may is the only one who has unlocked the secret to making uninteresting content that people actually enjoy

[heathm]

17.55 minutes of middle-aged men poaching eggs. What a time to be alive.

One day our beloved trio will be too old to traipse around in exotic locations having adventures and they will only be able to sit in three chairs around a fire arguing amongst themselves.

I will still watch.

Watching Hammond and May stare at a stove whilst insulting each other is wholesome af.

Imagine Clarkson walking into the room with a God awful poached egg and says, " Gentlemen I can see what's happened, you are speechless because all the words in your head have been sucked out by the magnetism of my genius."

On this episode:
Hammond had a mental breakdown
James talks about modern chickens
And Jeremy takes a leave of absence

[maxkennedy]

6:48 Hammond almost let the intrusive thoughts win 😂

[adamgreenhill]

*Alternate title:* Hammond slowly has a mental breakdown as May tries to poach eggs

[sharans]

Everyone else: "Lurpak"
James May: "Lurpak spreadable butter. Invented in 1901".

Hammond: takes out knife. Looks at James. Puts knife back.

[krell]

Great content. Sure, Jezza would've had twice the eggs cooked in half the time, but at least without him, there were no injuries.

[geznicks]

This is finally an adequate replacement for top gear. Give the three of them a cooking show
