James May tries Rachael's homemade pickle

A few months ago, James May made the bold statement that NO pickle is as good as Branston Pickle. This week, in an attempt to prove him wrong, FoodTribe Editor Rachael Hogg has brought some homemade pickle to the bunker for him to try.

Contrary to popular belief, this is what peak automotive journalism looks like

Somehow of the three, it's James who has "figured out" Internet..

[evinruben]

This channel is slowly turning into JM’s employment tube and I’m lovin it

[MisterAki]

It should be sold in Jeremy Clarkson's Farm Shop. I'd try it.

It really doesn't surprise me that James has such a strong opinion on chutney/pickle.

[alphasierra.]

The ending was wholesome with a tinge of melancholy. That's why I absolutely love D̶r̶ ̶J̶a̶m̶e̶s̶ ̶M̶a̶y̶Bim's personality!

[mannydcbianco]

She should literally market it as Bim's Pickle. I'd buy it.

Well Mister May, you remind me of my dad - who passed away 20 years ago. So calm, intelligent and wise. Please stay the way you are. Stay healthy and enjoy your life. Sorry for my bad English . Best regards from Saxony.

Hey Rachel, you nailed it. Lots asking for the recipe but how about a Drivetribe vid showing how to make it etc, much more enjoyable and engaging than just a recipe. Just my tupence worth

[lawjef]

I had never even heard of Branston until watching FoodTribe videos. Now I have recurring dreams about Branston pickle. If James isn’t being sponsored by Branston...

[goombagirl]

can we get the recipe for Rachael's version of Branston pickle?

[Iloveidiots]

I had never heard of Branston Pickle till the cheese sandwich episode. I ordered some out of curiosity. I went through the first bottle in about 2 weeks, and am now working on the second bottle. Thanks for the advice, James!

[williamgtwo]

that 2nd pickle is prob what branston used to taste like 30 years ago before brands started lowering the quallity of everything

[unlokia]

Well done, Rachel! Bless her, the chuffed to bits reaction when James gave his opinion was ADORABLE <3 awww :)

[quicknickdriver]

Well done young Rachael for opening James’ eyes to homemade pickle. I’ve always loved a bit of homemade and would gladly come round to your house for lunch!! Here’s to mind opening diversity

[ludecom-czwz]

James admits he was wrong, not something you hear every day.

[davedeja]

We're going to need a video of Rachel making Bim's chutney. Or at the very least, a recipe.

[MartinAhlman]

This goes on the menue at your half-a-pub! "May's approved!"
Bim's Chutney? Bim's. She is a treasure to make you, of all persons, to change your deranged mind?

[NardoVogt]

"I am happy to be obsolete ... and I get a jar of chutney out of it."
Words like these is the reason why JM is just the best out of the Top 3

[jeremymurfitt]

When will "Dark & Brooding" be available at my local supermarket?
