British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has eaten a dish containing the severed thumb of a male contestant on his new reality show, Hells Kitchen, The Sun reports.
The newspaper alleges that Ramsay ate the thumb after contestant cook Matt accidentally cut the top of his thumb off while attempting to prepare pancetta to stuff a quail.
Matt ran from the kitchen – as you would if you’d just chopped half your thumb off – and his unknowing teammates took over his dish, frying the portion of his thumb and the pancetta together.
Britian’s Daily Star revealed Ramsay rushed in after the injured chef had left, asking about the whereabouts of the thumb. “Where’s the tip of the finger gone? Find his finger – check in the pancetta,” Ramsay said.
A contestant told the celebrity chef: “We’ve just cooked it.”
Ramsay groaned in response but allowed the other chefs to continue cooking the dish, and then sampled it once it was all done. “Oh God – finger pancetta,” he quipped.
Having now eaten human thumb, the fiery chef isn’t planning on making a habit out of it. “It tastes weird,” Ramsay said.
Good to know!
