Regular viewers of Top Gear would be excused for thinking James May is a bit of a pussy. But it turns out he isn’t. In fact, he’s about as manly as they come, and more able to stomach dodgy food than Gordon Ramsay.
May is the analytical one, the careful driver, the sensible chap with the extravagant shirts. If Jeremy Clarkson is the alpha male then May is the quiet member of the pack happy to blend into the background.
Still, as this video shows, when May is asked to man up and eat and drink some suspicious-sounding foodstuffs and beverages, he does so with aplomb.
Ramsay actually vomits after eating a small square of the rotten shark meat, and yet May offers to eat a second portion and seems to rather enjoy it. James May therefore wins.
