I have had the unfortunate experience of witnessing Gordon fucking Ramsay make some random-ass fucking rice dish and have the gall to call it Puerto Rican pegao. He called it fucking "elevated". It's not even a dish???

I thought I was mad about his arroz con cosas ("paella"), but now it's personal.

You need to actually know the key components of a dish before you "elevate" it, Gordon. You didn't even get the basics down. You literally took leftover rice and beans and.... idk, fried it? You made fried rice with chorizo and a spicy egg.

You showed up on my island and made a spicy dish. what. Who puts hot peppers in a fried egg for a PR dish that's supposed to be PR.

mfer put a spicy pepper in there and didn't even have sazón/adobo/sofrito or even any of their COMPONENTS. Just salted the shit out of it and basically deep-fried everything afaict.

@zkat Isn't whole Gordon Ramsay thing to do culturally appropriated dishes badly so that it stirs more controversy?

@zkat I watched this happen some years ago and went hoarse yelling at this man, who I have never met and who cannot hear me as this is a fucking video, about how wildly, WILDLY off base he was. And like... he generally seems to know better, until he goes to our island and suddenly he's cue-carding his way through the laziest misinformed bullshit.
So anyway... yeah, I share this ire with you.

@mckern I suspect he fucks up dishes everywhere he goes. He got this exact same reaction from the Valencians when he went to make paella and just threw a bunch of random shit in there and I think had, like, no beans/rabbit/etc or any of the usual flavorings, even. Arroz con cosas.

@zkat I vaguely recall a kitchen nightmares where he worked on a Puerto Rican restaurant in NY that was "ok" but that might be fuzzy memories. I should look it up and see what he added to the menu.

@zkat Christ, what if it turns out he's just dogshit at Spanish and he's been Peggy-Hill-ing his way through the food anywhere that speaks Spanish this whole time?

@zkat oops.
The "working together" meme. The captions are "Peggy Hill", "Gordon Ramsay", and "fucking hi anything even vaguely Spanish".
