Ramsay slams Palace food standards
Gordon Ramsay has braved being sent to The Tower by daring to attack the standard of Buckingham Palace grub in an expletive-laden rant.
Morsels served to Ramsay during a visit to the Queen's London residence looked "prehistoric" and took forever to swallow, he added.
The 41-year-old chef was given an OBE in 2006 for services to the British hospitality industry.
The Scot received his gong at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, rather than in London.
But it was the quality of food at Buckingham Palace that came in for a roasting during an interview with US chat show king Jay Leno on Thursday's Tonight programme.
"You don't actually know who's cooking for the Queen, but I'd never employ him", Ramsay said.
The duck liver pate served to him in royal company came in for special criticism.
Ramsay said: "I was trying to get rid of it as I was approaching her because this thing was taking forever to chew.
"You couldn't spit it out on the carpet, for God's sake."
The comments are unlikely to be welcomed by chief royal chef Mark Flanagan and his 20-strong kitchen staff.
