Tonight, I become a farmer, Richard becomes a mechanic, and James says cheese

Can't get over the fact that grown adults don't know how to make a Toasted Cheese Sandwich.

I love that James May is aware of just how much of a meme that has become.

35 years of life as an American:

1) Never once have I been given Monterey Jack as the "default"
2) Never once have I heard it called "Jack Cheese"

"Jack Cheese" sounds like someone trying and failing to correctly name the chap from Monty Python.

The American cheese that most people think about with a grilled cheese sandwich is just called "American"

99% sure the default cheese in America is also cheddar.

On this episode: James says cheese, James doesn't know what american cheese is, and Lucy uses some tongs.

Every time I hear James say "Monterey Jack is the default American Cheese" I'm going to dump some Tea into my Toilet... I need some more Tea....

Typically, "American cheese" refers to a specific type of processed cheese which is made from either cheddar or Colby, or a mixture of the two.  It's designed to melt easily and has a mild, salty flavor, and sometimes includes sodium citrate to melt more smoothly.  While it is processed, that doesn't mean it's plastic or pure chemicals or something, it just goes through a blending process and we don't have great regulatory terms to deal with blended cheeses compared to single-culture cheeses.

Jack is also used somewhat frequently, but when asked "do you want cheese on that?", they're nearly always referring to American or cheddar (though cheddar in the US tends to be very mature and is called "sharp"), not Jack.

I like when Lucy asked James how he feels about raw toast. Isn't that just bread? 🤣🤣

I love how self aware James is, he just gets it.

I will never understand how one hates cheese.

I didn't realize there was even one person who didn't know how to make grilled cheese........ let alone two.

What a wholesome kind of comedy this is.

It's funny how they assumed Monterey jack cheese was the most American cheese and not the cheese literally named American cheese

You can see James die a little bit more every time he has to say “cheese”

While there's nothing wrong with Jack cheese, it is not the default cheese here in the States. We have sliced deli cheese referred to simply as American cheese. It's made from cheddar and some Monterey Jack. That is what is put on cheese burgers or grilled cheese sandwiches.

Well now there has to be a part 3 after a fundamental misunderstanding of "American Cheese"

I would love to see a video of James and Lucy making food that she ACTUALLY likes! - A Lucy Top 5 food tier list or something!

I'm confident that here in 🇺🇸, the default is either cheddar or American cheese, depending on where you grew up.
