Gordon Ramsay Faces Criticism Over Peas in Carbonara

Gordon Ramsay has sparked outrage among Italians by including peas in his spaghetti carbonara, a dish traditionally made with guanciale, pecorino cheese, and egg. The £15 dish, featured at his Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza restaurants in the UK, has prompted comments from fans and critics alike, with many calling for him to refrain from cooking pasta in the future. Notable reactions included pleas to delete the post and statements like 'that’s not a carbonara on any level,' highlighting the strong cultural attachment to the dish's authentic ingredients. This isn't the first time Ramsay has faced backlash for his culinary choices, as he previously received criticism for a breakfast burger with a runny egg and serving only six chips with a steak. The controversy underscores the ongoing tensions between traditional Italian cuisine and modern interpretations by celebrity chefs.
