it's my dream not anymore it's not ramsay awake what in the hell was that could you cut it in
gordon ramsay's kitchen the star of several british and american television shows isn't
easily shocked as he's tasted some of the best and worst dishes in the world well for those
times he's been truly stupefied here are the top 10 times gordon ramsay was stunned the hottest
curry that's the hardest thing i've ever tasted oh my god it takes one heck of a spicy curry to stun
gordon ramsay during one of his classic cooking television performances gordon was working with
chef alan carr completing a fun cook-along the theme of the episode was indian cuisine
and following suit the chefs were working on their best curries and dishes in a hurry
for some curry hmm kind of in the crowd rukon an extremely proud super fan was waiting to impress
his claim to fame was that he had created the hottest curry in the uk both alan and gordon
were willing to taste the curry and although both only dipped the tip of the spoon into the dish
the reactions of both were profound it's spicy both men jumped back from the plate and grabbed
their mouths immediately searching for a cool palette cleanser to help soothe their taste buds
although ramsay stated that the curry was shocking it was not meant in a positive regard
spicy doesn't always mean it's good folks whenever gordon is that blunt and honest rest
assured he has been stunned cocktails in the cold harvesting arctic ice i feel like one of
the luckiest mixologists anywhere on the planet perhaps one of the coolest items on this list
one of gordon's most stunning moments came from his time harvesting ice off of a glacier just
off the coast of alaska welcome to alaska here's a thousand dollars while most of gordon's expensive
ingredients sometimes stem from difficult to reach tropical locations the visit to the arctic was
a beautiful once in a lifetime surprise although ice is a common commodity across much of the globe
thanks to the modern technology of refrigeration these specialty cubes would be harvested from
giant ice blocks that gordon himself wasted out of the freezing arctic waters what makes this ice so
special it is supposed to be some of the purest ice in the entire world made over thousands of
years rather than in minutes using water coming directly from the tap is there anything better
than an ice cold cocktail poured over glacier ice and sipped in the middle of alaskan waters this
is the life anytime that gordon ramsay is impressed by the sheer beauty of an
experience it's bound to be an extraordinary one breast milk cappuccino breast milk rock and roll
although gordon has a long list of bizarre flavors and recipes he has tried this edition
the breast milk cappuccino may just be one of the strangest to date during a recipe cook-off with
chef alex james the two ended up having a strange conversation about alex's strange experimentation
with his wife's breast milk is that breast milk why would that be breast milk having had too much
to drink one night the milk became useless for the babies and not wanting to be wasteful alex saw
the opportunity to get creative why not use this perfectly good breast milk and make something good
out of it after finishing their recipes and serving their dishes alex convinces ramsay to
taste one of his signature breast milk cappuccinos unfortunately for gordon the cappuccino was about
as gross as expected unable to swallow down the cappuccino made from another woman's milk
gordon chose to spit his sip into the nearby sink exclaiming it's sweet it's important that chefs
continue pushing the envelope and creating new and exciting dishes but even gordon knows there are
limits and was just too grossed out to enjoy this hot beverage wow really tempting um i'm gonna pass
although he's always willing to try something new this just goes to show even gordon ramsay still
often finds himself stunned and sometimes for the strangest reasons caviar farming a sustainable
source look at all the caviar it's like a bathtub full of [ __ ] caviar although having worked with
caviar for most of his career the push towards finding sustainable sources of food had encouraged
gordon to search out alternative sources to the traditional wild caviar he was used to in order to
learn more about sustainable fish farming ramsay decides to visit a sturgeon caviar farm where he
was truly stunned by the laborious process that's involved in farming caviar wow that was exhausting
once people learn about the process it becomes immediately clear why the price point for caviar
is so sky high and why despite its popularity it remains a luxury item reserved for the most classy
of meals the simple fact that it takes the female sturgeon over 20 years to produce enough caviar
for harvesting explains just one of the reasons behind sustainable sourcing it is incredibly
important that 20 year old fertile sturgeon are not being removed from the wild population not
only in order to sustain the sturgeon population for the fishing industry but most importantly for
the ecosystem entire ecosystem contained in one infinitesimal spec after assisting further in the
manual process of hand catching the massive 130 pound fish gordon then helped remove the caviar
from the sturgeon's belly with great precision after assisting in hand cleaning separating and
seasoning the eggs gordon could finally comprehend the majesty behind such a profound dish king crab
fishing in the deep they're big they're ugly and they're coming together while many may be
familiar with king crab fishing with shows like deadliest catch highlighting the dangers gordon
ramsay's attempt at catching king crab in norway was extremely different although crab fishing in
alaska is typically done before the winter season covers the sea and ice in norway gordon and his
guides actually worked beneath the frozen fjord in norway king crab have become a sort of invasive
species as they have no natural predators well genius nothing he's at the top of the food chain
reaching a massive size of up to six feet they consume mass quantities of the local ecosystem
in order to help control the masses fishermen sell the crab at a high price point the scariest part
of the experience for gordon was diving deep down beneath the frozen ice into the dark and frigid
waters all in the hopes of tasting a fresh king crab that's been king crab i hate when i do it
this is pretty rare since crabs from across the world must be shipped frozen in order to preserve
the freshness of the crab itself after catching a massive king crab the best part of the experience
for the men was a crab feast right out on the ice gordon has been extremely lucky over his career to
experience events that many can't even possibly comprehend or dream of this beautiful experience
is one of the most stunning imaginable beautiful chef has gordon gobsmacked do i look like a
t-shirt yeah yeah young and sexy oh this next moment is on our list for an entirely different
reason while other mentions of gordon being stunned relate to shock surprise and disgust in
terms of how they affected him this moment is very different in a truly humanizing moment one of the
best moments of gordon ramsay being stunned is a simple interaction between himself and a beautiful
indian chef he encounters i went online earlier this afternoon got a few pick up lines i'll just
get the ball rolling the woman is generous to welcome him into her home in order to teach her
family the recipe of sesame seed chicken as the pair continues to pass jokes flirtatious comments
and jovial sentiments it is clear that gordon has been stunned by not only this woman's impressive
skills in the kitchen but also by her witty humor and vivacious personality b-e-a for a man
with a quick tongue it certainly must be a joyful moment to find someone who can match in wit and
intelligence and have the skills to deliver with nothing more than lighthearted flirting between
two beautiful characters this scene provided excellent insight into how the simplest moments
can be the most impressive and the most stunning tarantula hunting and frying season gordon got up
close and personal with one of many people's greatest fears while traveling in cambodia
during years of poverty and starvation cambodian villagers have learned to eat what is available
meaning that insects including the sought-after tarantula have become not only part of a staple
diet but also a flavor preference delicious which we can't say is the same for everyone seeing how
most people still freak out when they see even the tiniest spider imagine eating one no no i don't
think i will in addition catching and selling the tarantulas provides excellent additional income
for villages gordon and a small group of men set out on a mission to catch the hairy beasts
ramsay personally dug out a burrow and caught his own tarantula which one can easily tell from his
facial expressions was outside his comfort zone after returning to the village gordon is taught
how to properly boil and fried tarantulas for consumption although ramsay typically enjoys
the ethnic food that he is presented with it seemed very clear in this instance that he was
desperately trying to be polite in front of the local villagers although stating that the highly
prized tarantula was bitter he continued to smile while attempting to choke down the bitter tasting
an absolutely bizarre snack certainly one of his most stunned moments and one he will
surely not forget anytime soon the surprising expedition for bird's nest soup woven birds
spit not only was gordon able to experience the rare delicacy that is bird's nest soup
he also had the very exclusive experience of assisting and harvesting the main ingredient
which is fairly easy to guest birds nests what is surprising about these nests is what
they are made of unlike most bird nests these specialty designed homes are made of bird saliva
that's gross not exactly the kind of material you would use to make your home cozy that's for sure
deep inside the caves of malaysian borneo are treasures to be found and it's not buried gold
if one can dig through the disgusting amount of bat feces extremely valuable bird's nest are
abandoned high in the rafters of the caves ramsay got to experience what very few have when he was
personally guided down into the caves through their passages and deep into the nesting grounds
he himself climbed the bamboo ladder to harvest his own bird's nest for a personal batch of bird's
nest soup even though locals don't consume the delicacy themselves due to its sheer value gordon
was lucky enough to have one local woman make him traditional bird's nest soup chinese style
using nothing but sugar water and the cleaned bird's nest the soup is actually more of a dessert
type of dish than a savory meal well i suppose there's time for dessert considering gordon had
tasted many attempted fake versions of the soup he was completely shocked to experience such a
sweet dish while being prepared for a spicy soup even a professional like gordon ramsay can still
be stunned after so many years at the top and impressed enough to even ask for seconds fishing
for shark fins come on there could be sharks out here despite being a thousand-year-old delicacy
gordon's experience with the shark fin soup left a foul taste in his mouth the reason behind ramsay's
distaste for the soup had less to do with the flavor although that was an issue and more to
do with the sheer horror that is involved in the process of producing these dishes considering
that the only valuable pieces of the shark on the market are typically the fins often the stripped
corpses of dead sharks are dumped back into the ocean that's so messed up and it's important to
note that the sharks aren't always dead when they are thrown away since they can't swim without
their fins most of the time they sink to the bottom of the ocean and eventually die shipping
boats return with hundreds of shark fins all at the cost of the sharks alives and the ecosystem of
the ocean in addition to the disgusting practices that take place in harvesting the fins the price
and the taste of the soup were additional reasons why ramsay was stunned in the worst way by this
ancient recipe with shark fins averaging about 200 per pound this bowl of broth is not the cheap
lunch option that most westerners associate with soup i want soup then make soup at the end of the
day despite all the controversy and hardship that is involved in making this soup gordon seemed less
than impressed with the flavor claiming that the fin was flavorless and the worst part of the meal
it just goes to show that sometimes expensive does not always mean good eating a beating snake heart
snakes why did it have to be snakes this by far has to be one of the strangest things that gordon
ramsay has ever experienced and easily tops our list while in vietnam gordon was taken by friends
to a live restaurant this means that the meat served for dinner was also slaughtered in-house
the restaurant was filled with an assortment of different creatures such as rats fish and
lizards among others the entire episode can be quite disturbing so viewers beware if you plan on
searching up any clips of this event after touring the restaurant gordon's friends order the snake
seven ways meaning that their alive cobra would be cooked and presented to them in an assortment
of styles gordon certainly was not prepared for the first style a raw still-beating snake's heart
taken like a shot the heart was extracted from the snake and placed into a shot glass for gordon to
consume bottom's up his friends even talk about the power and the feeling of the beating heart
sliding down the throat certainly by far one of the most shocking moments of gordon ramsay's life
leaving him more than stunned to say the least there are very few who would be bold enough to try
a dish this bizarre respectfully i'm gonna have to say no order up more and tap that screen for
