The Hell's Kitchen chef Gordon Ramsay had a pretty unexpected reaction to beloved treats from the American Girl Scouts. During an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ramsay was asked to try Girl Scout Cookies and the reaction is absolutely priceless.
Ramsay is all about figuring out how something tastes and if you can't figure out taste that you can't cook. Interestingly enough, Kimmel brought up the fact that though Ramsay spends so much time in the U.S. he has never had a Girl Scout Cookie. So, what better way to try something new than live in front of millions of viewers.
He says he doesn't think of amazing cookies by Girl Scouts. Kimmel warned Ramsay that he was entering sacred territory with the Girl Scout Cookies being one of America's most beloved treats. However, it didn't seem to phase Ramsay who is known for being a brutally harsh critic when it comes to anything related to food.
He presented Ramsay with the cookies in three flavors; Tagalongs, Thin Mints and Samoas. Ramsay's first critique against the cookies were that they all look like dog biscuits, so already it's not off to a good start.
Ramsay tried the Tagalong and said that it was okay before moving on to the Samoa. He said that the Samoas are weird and actually spit them out. He took a couple of sips of milk to wash the taste out of his mouth before moving on the the heavy fan favorite, Thin Mints.
He told Kimmel that it was like a cheap after dinner mint and also spit that one out as well. So, Ramsay just gained a new enemy in the Girl Scouts.
