Celebrity chef Jay Rayner caused quite a stir on the latest episode of Saturday Kitchen when he shared a rather unconventional recipe. Viewers were left shocked and appalled as he unveiled his "masterpiece" - Hispi cabbage topped with a mix of Monster Munch crisps.
Host Matt Tebbutt was joined by chefs Jay, Poppy O'Toole, and Jeremy Lee, with special guest Sara Cox making an appearance as well. But all eyes were on Jay as he took to the kitchen to reveal his unique take on a Cantonese XO seasoning, traditionally made with spicy seafood sauce.
Instead of using the usual ingredients, Jay surprised everyone by incorporating three different packets of crisps - bacon rashers, scampi puffs, and pickled onion flavor. He crushed them up and combined them with seafood, herbs, and spices to make a fine "rubble," which he then added to his charred cabbage.
The recipe was met with horror by viewers, who took to social media to share their disgust. Some even called it a waste of crisps. Comments like "Looks rank," "Ewww, that looks vile," and "I wouldn't eat that if you paid me" flooded in, with many viewers expressing their disbelief at the unconventional combination.
But in the grand scheme of things, Jay's crisp controversy seems rather harmless compared to the controversy from the previous week's episode. Co-owners of a cafe, Kate Carter-Larg and Sam Larg, appeared on the show to demonstrate their toastie-making skills alongside broadcasting legend Sir Trevor McDonald.
However, some viewers were more concerned with Kate's outfit than the toasties themselves. Her sleeveless top sparked a barrage of judgmental comments, with some viewers deeming it "inappropriate." In response, Kate defended her choice of outfit, stating that she often wears similar clothing and didn't think twice about it before going on the show.
Despite the backlash, last week's episode did not address the viewers' harsh criticism, leaving some disappointed. But fear not, Saturday Kitchen will be back this week with more delicious recipes and entertaining guests.
