GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): It's the day of the final cook,
and I should be getting my fires going.
Good morning.
WOMAN: Good morning, Gordon.
How are we?
Mrs. [inaudible], how are you?
GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): But I have a lead on one
more special ingredient that I'm told can be harvested nearby.
What is this secret ingredient?
[non-english speech]
She's making a chutney out of the weaver ant.
It's a delicacy.
GORDON RAMSAY: Weaver ants? WOMAN: Yes.
GORDON RAMSAY: Right. WOMAN: Yeah.
It's spicy.
It's salty, and it's sour.
That sounds like a unique chutney.
WOMAN: Yeah. [inaudible]
And where are these ants?
Right up there.
That's what we were looking at.
GORDON RAMSAY: What?
WOMAN: [non-english speech]
OK, she says that he is going to shimmy up that tree,
lop that branch off, drop the ants down.
Right.
And fill it into a-- a [inaudible]..
GORDON RAMSAY: Do we have a rope for him?
This this-- is the ladder that he's going to use.
GORDON RAMSAY: Ladder?
It's like a bamboo stick.
WOMAN: Yeah.
Be careful.
And are you sure that bamboo is strong enough?
It's-- it's definitely strong enough for him.
It's not even tied onto the trees.
Bloody hell.
This is crazy.
I mean, really crazy.
[bleep]
WOMAN: There.
He is already on the tree now.
He's on the tree.
WOMAN: He's getting it.
GORDON RAMSAY: Wow.
Yeah.
[bleep]
WOMAN: They know the hills.
They know the jungles.
GORDON RAMSAY: Yes.
WOMAN: They're very, very good at this.
GORDON RAMSAY: That is incredible.
What a performance, getting the ants.
I mean, you know, I'll go to hell
and back, you know, to get the best ingredients,
but that is a different ballgame.
- [non-english]. - Thank you.
Good.
Oh, gosh.
Watch it, watch it, watch it.
Get it.
- Wait, wait, wait. - Go, go, go, go.
Let me come left.
[bleep]
WOMAN: OK.
Can you go to the right? No, no.
Come left. Come left.
WOMAN: [non-english]
GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): I look
like I'm attempting the most awkward TikTok dance ever.
[bleep]
Get it, get it, get it.
Damn.
[bleep]
Bloody hell. - Hold it.
Hold it, hold.
That bag, you know, and you're swaying left to right.
Bang. I missed it.
Shake it up.
Shake.
Damn!
And then all of a sudden, they're everywhere.
[bleep]
Man.
And just when you think you've got the last one,
you put your hands in your pockets, they're in there.
I must have been bitten 50, 60 times.
[bleep] hell.
This is a true ants in the pants situation, no?
This is definitely ants in the pants.
[bleep]
- So there we are. - Ah, you bastard.
[non-english speech]
- She's putting salt in this. - Salt?
[bleep]
Yeah, we're salting the ants now.
Yes.
[bleep]
- [inaudible] - Yep.
You got to shake it up.
Those ants are eating me before I eat them.
[non-english speech]
OK, that's enough.
[bleep].
I think I've got half of the ants in my pants.
Bloody hell.
My goodness me.
WOMAN: So we just pick out any dust.
Now, these little bits there, the white bits--
that's the larva, right? - That's the larva.
That's the-- that's the eggs?
Yeah.
GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): While most of the ants
are making a meal of my nether region,
the rest are getting chucked into the chutney.
First, you have to put the coconut--
- All? - --in the [inaudible] coconut.
All the coconut?
Everything.
GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): To make the chutney, we mix
coconut, garlic, salt, coriander seeds, and, of course,
chili powder.
GORDON RAMSAY: All of it?
WOMAN: Yeah.
GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): Then we add the ants,
some water, and grind.
Watch that you don't smash your fingers.
Yeah.
[non-english speech]
You're doing good, she says.
Wow.
Mm.
Wow.
It's delicious.
Oh, lovely.
GORDON RAMSAY: It's very fresh.
Yes.
Vibrant chutney.
I love chutneys.
That, for me, has to be the most fragrant, slightly bitter,
but with the addition of that coconut meal in there--
mm, delicious.
What a delicacy, and, for me, a great addition
to my final meal.
I don't think these ladies are expecting that from me today,
so a little ace card up my sleeve, fingers crossed.
