I was on the show Chopped and Gordon Ramsay was a judge. I had to make mashed potatoes, which sounded easy enough so I decided to procrastinate until the last 5 minutes. I had my potatoes done and just needed to put them on the presenting plate. As I was scooping the food, I had realized that I didn’t have any potatoes in the bowl or on the plate. Ramsay kicked me out and gave the trophy to the trashcan cause I was the only contestant.
Jewish and Muslim people go on Chopped and are made to cook with pork and they make it work, one vegan goes on and refuses to use any meat products he’s given and they have an all veggie episode for him.
The final basket had honey in it and e refers to it as a total nightmare scenario. Go talk to the Muslim woman who knocked out a pork loin without being able to taste her dish about dealing with nightmare baskets
My mum was watching a baking show where a 20 year old Muslim woman was a contestant. They had to make an alcoholic dessert. She nailed it despite not being able to taste it. When she mentioned that she couldnt (not as a complaint or excuse) everyone gawked at her and someone said “how old are you???”. Like, really?
I saw that one! Seemed like purposeful sabotage when your contestant can neither religiously or legally taste the ingredient
Cultural insensitivity and racism in media?

Contestants on Cutthroat Kitchen: “I cam here to kick ass and take names!”
Contestants on Chopped: “ I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.”
