Yucking someone else’s yum is poor form — but it’s become something of chef Gordon Ramsay’s brand. The celebrity chef recently roasted a polarizing, fruity pizza topping, but he hasn’t stopped there.
On Thursday, Ramsay got himself into some hot water after a Twitter user named Rameez asked Ramsay to “please rate my medu vada sambar and nariyal chutney.” Read more.(4/11/2017 11:23 AM)
it’s sloppily splashed in an institutional metal partition plate with a cheap lunchroom spoon, of course he made the prison food joke. it doesn’t matter what the food actually is. you think because it’s indian food it should be immune to criticism? it looks like it was ladled off a steam table by a trustee named bull.
Even though I’m still salty about his pineapple pizza tweet, I’m going to come to his defense. Sorry, but it does look like prison food.
If you’re going to ask one of the world’s most famous chefs to rate your dish, remember that presentation is the first thing they will judge it on.
This is the guy whose job it is to break people down until they start blubbering like little babies. Compared to what he could have said, “prison food” is tame as fuck.
And yeah, that was the first thing that came to my head too. The yellow-greenish stuff doesn’t even look like anything. It’s glop. How can anyone expect people to want to eat a dish if they can’t get past the initial impression on their eyes?
HOW DARE TRUMP WANT KIDS TO EAT BETTER THAN PRISONERS!
Thanks, Obama!
I won’t comment on the politics for either side with this. I only want to say: My freshman year of high school in a rural town, we had three lunch lines. One had stuffed crust pizza, fresh french fries, or chickenburgers. Another had homemade southern soul foods (a staple in any Louisianian school). The last was “the outside line” and it was usually Po’Boys or hamburgers. Everyone ate well and there was rarely more than two trash cans for the lunch room and neither seemed to fill fast. The very next year Mrs. Obama’s meal plan hit the schools. The pizza line was shut down and the quality and amount of food served to kids quickly diminished. By my senior year, no one would eat. Plates sat stacked in the middle of the tables, mostly untouched and full of wrappers from the vending machine foods because no one wanted to eat the school lunches anymore. You were lucky to be let out early for lunch because by the end of the first lunch shift the vending machines would be almost empty. There were about five trash cans and a constant janitor because all the food was being tossed instead of being eaten.
I remember always eating outside with my friends and 99% of the time we would eat from the outside line. I remember opening the to go box and seeing Po’boy buns and being so excited (because at that time they were the best thing the school could serve) but then, to my great horror, I would bite into it and find that the contents were just a slice of Spam and a half melted slice of cheese.
I remember hearing so many people saying they couldn’t wait to be out of school for the day because they were starving. When I asked about lunch they would tell me that the food was so bad that they couldn’t eat it and that they didn’t have money to spend at the vending machines every day. I remember being one of those people after my dad lost his job. I remember holding a conversation with one of the lunch ladies after I graduated from there about why the meals were so terrible and all she said was that they tried to make them taste good, it was just so hard after funding from the state got so low and the meal plan from Mrs. Obama got so bad for them.
I particularly remember one semester of high school where I was stuck in a class that let out late (the teacher talked A LOT and was one of those that always said “the bell doesn’t dismiss you, I do”) on the second lunch shift. I would often be in line for food and get sent away with at least half of the others there because they would run out of food.
I say all this because I want people to realize what this did to kids like me in poor states and in rural communities. At least two thirds of my school was starving. The students there now are probably STILL starving.
I think what Mrs. Obama tried to do was very admirable. But what failed with it, is schools like mine couldn’t afford what she planned because we were in the boonies. We had little to no funding outside of football (our one saving grace) and of course that funding rarely went to anything else. What we need is a system built for the poor kids in the middle of nowhere that buds outward to even the richest of schools. Something that works for everyone and does so actively, not just in theory. I think Mrs. Obama wanted that, but it fell through too badly before it could be saved.
I remember in elementary school I had decent food, but when I went to middle school and highschool (which was around the same time this happened) all the food was crap. If you didn’t eat what they served, you either didn’t get in the line, get Ill, or take a few bites of food only to throw it away. The only lunch everyone ate was probably on pizza day.
And let me tell you, these lunches are not in any way healthier. They have basically no nutitional value and the only things people eat they get tired of after eating it every single week so they either suck it up, don’t eat, or bring their own food. And not everyone can afford to bring their own food.
Breakfast was shit, too. You can’t give kids poptarts or muffins everyday. That is not healthy. The school couldn’t cook some damn eggs once in a while?
“perfectly healthy” eh michelle?
Her kids went to an exclusive private school with armed guards and good food.
Express Moochelle is asn excellent example of progressive leftist hypocrisy.
These kind of stories remind me of Gordon Ramsay’s roasting of public school lunches:
Gordon Ramsay sits across a filthy table from a sweaty, aging man. the restaurant is cavernous, yet only six tables can be seen, each in various states of disarray. there are two customers: one is sending back her food and the other is dead at the bar. Rats crawl in and out of his pockets and open mouth.
sweaty, aging man: never in my 47 years here have i ever gotten a complaint
Gordon Ramsay: you’re a weak, Small Man. your food is frozen, the beef is raw. Fuck You
young employee:
"TONIGHT ON KITCHEN NIGHTMARES CHEF RAMSEY EXPERIENCES THE MOST STUBBORN CHEF EVER LITERALLY GUYS LOOK AT THIS ASSHOLE FUCK THIS GUY"
There’s also this one treasure of a person who said something about British people not being able to cook, and I don’t remember if it was the same guy or not but another person said “what does he know” like he wasn’t talking to Gordon fucking Ramsay.
