Mr. Chang: This is not Pad Thai...
Gordon: His bowl is nearly empty; he loves it Mr. Chang!
Monk: _this chow mein is really good!_
😂🤣
Wait, chow mein is Chinese. I think?
Jabba233hutt yes chow mein (chow mian in mandarin) is chinese but probably what you have in the US like the ones from panda express or PF changs is considered chinese-american
To be honest, maybe monk will eat everything that serve to them, it in the way that they show they grateful for the gift that have been giving to them, and they will never let food get waste except it is not safe to be consumed or contain animals meat in the food.
Revan Drag i do know some monks that eat meat as long as they’re not buying it and someone gave it to them
This dude broke protocol to prove homeboy wrong hahaha xD
NEVER EVER BREAK PROTOCOL.
he's got some balls tbh
they were finished eating at that point, its okay to talk
He was not proving anyone wrong. Respecting the food, regardless of taste, is a part of Hindu and Buddhist culture. The chef did not say that it tasted bad. He told Gordon that it was not tasting like authentic Pad Thai. But, well, Gordon Ramsay is not world-famous for his humility lol.
To be fair, no chef, big or small is known for their humility. As a chef myself, I kind of have an over-inflated ego. Probably not as deserved as Chef Ramsay but still
Wow, he was really affected by the insult on his Pad Thai! Hahaha xD
the man has devoted his life to cooking... he takes it very seriously and personally.
and his ego is greater than his cooking skills
hi troll
DrumsRTehKey but its true, he couldn't handle that he didn't make a good pad thai. I know he didn't because I saw how he did it.
+Charlie Angel But he did make a good pad thai
There's a Thai saying " do not ask a monk about the offering"
It means when you give somethings to someone that graciously receives it, do not bother asking him/her"
The monks are in training to let go of worldly tatters, so they cannot complain if the food is not to their liking.
Thanks! I was wondering about that "protocol" thing
+Eloy Aguilar I wouldn't say it is a protocol but it's better not to.
I can confirm this comment.
"If you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything." ?
KW in other word, you can't complain free foods.
Gordon, you have to know one thing. A Buddhist monk can only say he enjoys whatever offered. It is what all Buddhists know. A Buddhist monk cannot complain for anything offered whatever they are, however they are. Enjoying tasting things are wrong for being a monk. Food is for surviving, not for joys.
@Saint_Beelzebub because of the eating style, Pad thai is considered as main food that fill u up, u will eat it the most compared to other dishes.
Yeah but the bowl Gordon’s pad Thai had was nearly empty so he did enjoy it
Why are some of them fat?
Man, that's a sad life to me. I enjoy food so much
that was the most eaten bowl tho \
That was hilarious, the "FUCK YESSS THE MONKS SAY IT'S GOOD!!!"........

Monks usually dont care too much about the exact taste. On the otherhand, the thai chef, who probably also has his style of cooking tastes the difference that probably he found a problem with. Pretty sure all kind of chefs cook pad thai with slightly different tastes, and gordan ramsay's pad thai is probably also slightly westernized
slightly???
It's not Pad Thai at all!!!
I think Ramsay should have swallowed his ego, and tried to learn a thing or two about making Pad Thai authentically. Instead he got salty and went out of his way to try and show he was right. Very childish. If an expert Thai chef told me my Pad Thai wasn't right, I'd rather try to learn than try to undermine his opinion
@@seanparker2841 right all fried rice are exactly the same?
@@billylee4460 I just think the difference is that Phad Thai isn't as costumised as Fried Rice. Like for fried rice we have different varieties of "toppings" vs for Phase Thai you have the basic of the Tamarind Sauce and noodles and you kind of just add on. My mum's Thai and to this day I believe her's is the best XDDDD
@@etsuart4672 Nah. Makes no difference. You have so many vary of any staple dish. Hamburger. Pizza. BBQ meat. Pho. Ramen. Sushi. Fried rice. Pad thai. Even fried egg. Nothing has to be exact. All uses a few key ingredient. But all can be customized differently.
Don't believe when Thai say "yes good". sometimes we don't mean like that. we don't want you feel sad. it's Thai culture.
I would think it's more like polite manners, and it's quite common around the world xD. Jokes aside, I really respect eastern cultures, way more positive energy in everyday interactions, imho.
That's true. It's a culture of professional liars.
They have 13 different types of smiles and only 3 of them are genuine.
Especially monks, who are not supposed to care about taste. I would bet the only reason they eat is to make sure they can stay alive to keep meditating and trying to be enlightened.
@@HandOfMe Well said, I am Thai, can confirm
As a vietnamese, i can relate to that. White lies are parts of our etiquette as well.
Gordon: "This experience takes respect for food to a completely different level."
Also Gordon:
Botches Pad Thai.
Breaks Monk's Protocol.
Rubs it against Authentic Pad Thai Chef that his dish was better.
Typical colonialist attitude. How very English of him.
@@alexwu8077 Oh noooo! He's not acclimated to a completely different way of life....how terrible. Nothing he did there was out of animosity lmao.
@@MrHeadshotstreak it was disrepectful, but not colonialist.
@@alexwu8077 What a sad life you live
White people amirite
I don't think they will ever say no to show gratitude towards the food you prepared...
Maybe its different from what they normally have? Might be bored with the other dishes.
@Mohammed Uddin because wasting food is the greatest asian sin?
He knows it. He's so embarrassing. He served it obviously they knew he prepared it. He's got a whole camera crew.
@Mohammed Uddin pad Thai is the dish that give the most energy. This is the last meal of the day for these monks.
Oh yeah ! I believe they're smart enough to do that. 🤫
So Gordon left happy, knowing they enjoyed his food. He critiques other peoples dishes for a leaving, I would expect him to put things on perspective, instead of really cared about what he cooked. 😂
I like how Gordon looks so insecure about his food xD its hilarious
+Theodoros Stylianou Yeah. I loved it LOL
It's not hilarious it's RAW!
he served it to monks its a once in a lifetime opportunity ofc he would be worried if it was bad
How would you feel if you were on the world's best chefs?
Like he's supposed to learn from his mistake and accept it not being arrogant
Big rookie mistake from a well known chef 😔
Asian people always be polite, even if your food is not THAT good (not bad but not amazing), they'll still give you compliments.
You can't say it's not that good when Gordon's food was the most eaten.
monks would eat anything LOL
Irrelevant. This is whether or not the monks like the pad tai. Not whether or not they would eat something. Clearly they like Gordon's food better since there are hard evidence of them eating Gordon's food the most.
one of them LOL peole have different taste, like some eat durian and some don't.
well, i'm one of them so can that be justified? LOL
a true Bhikkhu is not picky with his food, for he has let go of all worldly attachments and desires, a Bhikkhu does not eat food for its taste, but for its nutrients to sustain his mortal vessel, similar to medicine.
a chef and a monk are like complete opposites.
But they are not true bhikkhu i guess..n infact its hard to find true bhikku now a days..
Bryan Wong well except for the Burmese monks who are bloodthirsty genocidal maniacs
Really like your comment Bryan Wong
At least some one know about real Buddhist.
Agree that it's hard to find a real Bhikkhu but there are still a lot of them follow the Buddha teaching.
Theravada monks are kinda on their own program lol
which worked out well for Mr. F word!
Gordon straight up said it was "humbling" immediately after breaking protocol to fill his ego
He said it wasn't likes pad Thai not its horrible there's difference
the truth has been spoken...
Worth noting though, the chef actually didn't like it.
+Kamil Hasbi Not to mention that face he made.
Owee S suree
The chef has seen Ramsey before and wanted to have his second of power. Pad Thai isn't even hard..
0:07 'Good morning, sweaty crab'?
+Alan Catflisp lmao
Im Thai but your comment just made me laugh my ass off. Take my like, kind sir
+Alan Catflisp after being to Thailand 7 times now and practically calling it a second home,I can never say Sawasdee Krup the same ever again xD
+Alan Catflisp oh my god I heard it that way too and I thought I was just a moron mishearing things or missing the joke.
+Alan Catflisp You made me laugh so hard that i'm crying XDXDXD
That pad Thai was RAW
Like the grenades gordons gonna kill isis with
Does gordon not know that monks are greatful for literally almost everything and are generally very nice people, they wont criticize his food because they love everything
“We’re not allowed to talk to the monks.”
*Presses the monks for compliments.*
Where does it say they can’t talk to the monks? You can talk to monks my dude. It’s just kinda weird to ask about offerings. It’s not like they’re gonna say bad things about the food they are given.
He wasn't allowed to disturb them during the meal so he waited until they were done to ask them.
@@sithuaung9511 "breaking the protocol by asking about the food", monks should not have any opinion other than being grateful of getting nutrients
@@johnandrewserranogarcia7223 he asked about the food tho
It's not every day you see Gordon Ramsay acting as bone-headed as one of the stooges he would normally scream at.
Yes it is
"To see how they like my food, I'm going to spy on the monks while they're eating."
proceeds to stick his whole head around the corner with giant camera!!
Bloody hell! If I was limited to only eat one meal a day even shit would taste good.
Well your country serves shit food anyway so i geuss you are set ;)
***** you're not a real american if you don't love mcdonalds, I'm calling the immigration agency on you
BlitzTankTV lmao
+PrinceOfGamesVidz
Lol, this guy. I could make or take you to a restaurant that serves barbecue that would blow your fucking mind.
Also considering American cuisine actually takes a lot of inspiration from other cultures, including Mexican, European, and Asian, you're calling their cuisines shit by extension. Probably including yours.
It was the most eaten bowl, so obviously the monks liked it, regardless of whether they were being nice on camera.
anon ymous
They had other dishes to choose from as well. They chose to eat more of the pad thai than any other dish. If they were just being polite and hated the taste of it, there should have been more pad thai and less of the other dishes left uneaten. Notice how they didn't finish all of the food in every single dish.
+anon ymous congrats on having the most pointless debate in history, I feel honoured being able to comment
GORDON THEY SAY YES TO YOUR PAD THaI cos they are tsught to appreciate food,hence the awkard yes
Which one of them is the avatar?
the buddha is the avatar. when we needed him the most back in BCE.... he vanished.
LMAO these comments are all great
i cant believe a minecraft k1d commented on this l0l

You did your best, Gordon! I admire how you really tried hard and it's pretty rare to see you being nervous not so confident about your cooking. This is a pretty cool vid (including the first one that you were cooking in the kitchen and the Thai chef was pretty disappointed but you know what no one knows everything. Humble is a good thing because you get to learn that way!)
@SommieReturns
Exactly. I was thinking the same thing..I love seeing Gordon Ramsay fail at doing or creating/making things from other cuisines; you get to see another side of him, he shows his humility. He shows people that he's indeed not perfect, and that he's actually human. His reaction to criticism is respectable. He doesn't like to lose or fail (nobody does) but at least he's not a sore loser or a bad sport
Right
Humble? He broke protocol. Them westerners have no respect
@@Riolande bruh it's only gordon ramsay not the entirety of the west
@@s2s561 not only Gordon, how bout trump?
'the wuhan coronavirus'
'the chinese virus'
I mean cmon, not all Chinese are from China.
And its racist to associate a virus with a race
G.R. is the man. He has so much integrity in all things culinary. Always striving to please & thinking outside of the box like a true high performance leader & passionately wanting others to succeed around him.
Kind of arrogant. Why not ask the master Thai chef about some pointers, so as to create an authentic dish and learn.
I know right this was almost cringe worthy and I’m a fan of Gordon’s. You couldn’t have said it any better my friend. He missed out on a big opportunity to learn what it was really all about .
@@luiseduardo199 it could be considered rude of the chef to correct him while Gordon is making it on his own show. Also what would be the point of correcting him if Gordon is trying his own take on it? It wouldn't really be his own take on pad thai if the chef were to correct his dish
Sundragonbro he could at least help him out man . That’s not above chef culture
What would be the point of making the exact same version of the dish as a million other people already do? He likes to innovate his dishes.
@@arandombard1197 As long as it tastes good and looks like pad Thai he can sell it as such and he can say he has his own moded version of it. Just seeing the reaction of the Thai chef though made it seem like there’s some work to be done to make it closer to the original. I think he should try and take some advice from the chef and if does not agree or think it fits in his dish he can just continue to do it his own way. I think that the same way other chefs learn from Gordon he is still able to to learn from others. If I knew my pizza tasted good but some guy from Italy said that’s not real pizza I would ask him to explain how and why and ask for some advice. If the guy is just trying to criticize you and not help then I just say bye bye but first I would hear him out.
i love seeing gordon out of his comfort zone because it inspires me to do the same. goes to show that no matter how well-known you are for your craft, you can also learn more
0:07 "good morning, sweaty crab" hahaha
oh god my sides
lmao
lol whats the person supposed to be saying?
sawad dee krab, that's hello in thai
+OschiOnDrums idk if its spelled like that but it sounds more like cup instead of krab tho
Culture is one of the most interesting word's in mankind's dictionary. It can be used to describe something truly magnificent and at the same time it can be used to justify stupid bullshit.
true as fuck my friend
i really love gordon's on-screen energy, i think he's fantastic.
Just that Gordon actually protests against a certified master of pad thai, instead of learning from him, just shows the height of the pedestal he flies on in his own mind. In my opinion, the best chefs in the world are the best cause they know they can always learn and improve, to master new techniques and flavors. Gordon is still a child in his starstruck inner mind
Yes
Jesus, Ramsay seriously can't take rejection. Pun very much intended when I say the man can dish it, but he can't feckin' take it.
I would love to see the full episode, but I loved seeing how excited Gordon became when the monks liked his Pad Thai!
For the people who don't get it: Buddhism is not a religion. It's a way of life.
Agreed. เห็นด้วยครับ
of course is a religion, just not a western sense one
+kuhmilch It functions as both for some. Depends what kind of Buddhism we are talking about
+kuhmilch Confucianism is a religion
+Junyeong Yang Actually, more of a philosophy than a religion.
*If I shat on a plate and gave it to these Monks, they'd eat it. It doesn't mean I'm a Master Chef. It means these Airbenders are being polite*
LLLMMFFFAAAOO AIRBENDERS
LMFAO! What a fucking savage.
Savage.
lmfao
Fucking airbenders
Gordon: "Did you enjoy the Pad Thai?"
Monk: "Yeah...sure...yeah."
That monk was being so polite. You can tell he didn't like it.
I respect Ramsey so much, but I really hope he was just joking when he was being as arrogant as he was. He should understand that any kind of Thai food he makes isn't going to taste as good to people that are used to and enjoy the traditional version of it. Also, he said "shit" in a temple, lol I cringed.
FailBoTT Ramsay was a bit out of line in this environment. Definitely the polar opposite of the surroundings he is used to. It was a bit cringe-worthy.
I swear all the time in thai temples n im thai lol
Dude he's always arrogant it's just exaggerated in such a setting
And Jesus (in my case, or whatever deity or faith you subscribe to) knows how you speak and think so what you say there isn't a big deal lol
Monks are humble, they’re thankful for anything they get as food.
Gordon: Did you enjoy my Pad Thai?
Monk: Frankly, I found your Pad Thai to be disgusting.
Mr. Chang: lmao
Gordon Ramsey actually thought that a monk being put on the spot after being offered donated food on camera is going to call said donated food 'shit'... and again, on camera no less?
This guy's such an egomaniac.
+Cagnazzo yes but it was clear before he asked them that they liked it since it was the most eaten dish out of many
+Cagnazzo If the bowl is empty that means they liked it
I'm not going to finish eating a shit pad thai lol
+LurkerDood It was clearly the most finished bowl. If you saw, none of the dishes were finished, but his was the most empty. That means that the monk liked it.
jiling shi Yeah, if the pad thai is shit you don't clean the bowl out! LOL
+Cagnazzo WOW
Gordon looks so happy and relieved the monks love his food. Say what you want, I know Gordon is his own biggest critic.
The best example of a real winner who wants to be the very best in what he does.
I would believe that Buddhist monks would not be offended with an assertive man's desire to know how his cooking was received. Ramsay did not disrespect not one single person in this video. No arrogance was ever shown.
The monks also respect what they're given for free; they will eat bad food and walk away with a smile and say thanks. I wouldn't say Ramsay's pad thai was bad, but it's very likely the monks ate more of it was because it was different.
He cursed in their temple and broke protocol for validation since the Thai Chef hurt his pride with honesty.
What chef Gordan Ramsey doesn't realize is that Buddhist monks don't insult people's charity and generosity. I believe what the Thai Chef says. Chef Gordan Ramsey's Pad Thai probably just taste like stir fried noodles. Lol. The dish's color looks more plain than flavorful.
It’s probably pretty good it’s just not enough like traditional pad Thai to be recognizable
chief ramsey i have great respect for his. give respect and will be given back. the world need more people like him
just gotta love Gordon for his love for cooking ^^
Humbling?? I love Gordon but he's not humble and he was childish here, being offended so badly that you break the monk's protocol. Smh
perfect example of someone who can't take what they dish out.
@@BJSepuku "Dish out" lol I see what you did there.
uh, its not really forbidden to ask them after the meal but since they are training to let go of worldly matters its a bit pointless. They never would have complaiined whether it was good or bad so in truth we'll never know if they actually preferred it over the pad thai they had eaten the weeks before.
People break Christan beliefs everyday so........
Childish? No. When you've dedicated every ounce of your being to your trade, which in the case of culinary arts also means dedicating yourself to the culture that surrounds and gives birth to the food, you want to know that you've done a good job. And for the record, Gordon is one of the most humble men out there. He's not humble with people on his shows because he's either 1)trying to correct the mistakes in a failing business to lead them to success or 2) trying to correct the mistakes in a chefs cooking or service to.. lead them to success. But when it comes to learning ones culture and culinary arts he is incredibly humble and a great listener. There's a reason those who have trained him all say the same damn thing.
Gordon is so fucking adorable
Wow you just gave a new dimension to the greeting. I can't unhear it now.
Glad to see Gordon is showing respect for the monastery and the monks for cursing in their place of worship... a real gentleman
All the haters, Buddhist are really kind and forgiving, they do not give a fk whether you are swearing or not. They just simply ignore and enjoy the peace.
I once asked them, what was your job before becoming a monk? (when I was in high school), and they talked to me they went to college and so on.
My mom said it was rude, but they do not give a fk. They are master of controlling the temper.
True. And it’s all thanks to the countless hours of meditation. I have tried it and it works.
Ah.. There's many people in the comments disagreeing with what Ramsey did but to me, I'm Thai, Buddhist, it wasn't offensive at all. Although during the ritual itself maybe serious, but what Ramsey did was ask the monks after it all had finished. I'm assuming this because they were in front of the head monk (?), which many people go up to him to greet him and talk. So, honestly, I think Ramsey was actually being pretty respectful. He accepted the culture and behaved the way the others did, or at least with someone who knows what they are doing.
Gordon has had some of the best experiences a person could have in a lifetime! Wow!
The truest sign of confidence for me is humility.
the bowl looks FUCKING RAW AND FROZEN! FUCK ME!
now get out of here :P fuck off haha :P
Aargh fuck all.. Get outta here you donkey! African kids would not eat this pad thai
I like Gordon Ramsay and many of his dishes but...tbh, that pad thai looked like crap lol.
LordKellthe1st So they favour one dish over the other, disrespecting all the others?
LordKellthe1st Also assumes that all of the monks knew which dish was made my Gordon
how was it the most eaten dish by the " monks" when they only showed the plate of ONE monk????
Lovely video. Good to see Gordon in such a setting.
Gordon takes pride in making food to a whole new level.
you know that Monk can eat everything that people give to them right? so if you thing your Pad Thai is good, may be you wrong
pretty sure i just found my new religion
+Shadow Your comment really triggered me...
lol just no
have you watched the office? there's this guy named Creed and talks about religion or cults and says something like this. "being a follower is fun but you make more money as a leader" lol kinda explains
Fuck off white man stick to your own culture.
@@Miguelp1000 r/whoosh me but I need to clarify, I don't know about the monks there but the monks in Thailand, whenever they are donated money, it goes to the electricity bills and water bills and for building new living spaces, they do not get the profit at all, and when people never visit, they don't have a lot of food to eat
Ahhh... White people...
i seriously love gordon ramsay such a humble guy
Everytime I hear Monks pray, I cry.
I highly doubt the monks would say that they disliked it EVEN if they did. They are humble, disciplined, and they are offered this food. Even Ramsay himself said in one Hells Kitchen segment, “If you’re given free food, WHO is going to complain?”
“ I can from the color it’s not nice “ 😂😂
I died a little bit inside at the beginning when Gordon went to shake that guys hand omgg
“What do you want to know from me?”
Never a good sign.
i want to become a monk so people can come and feed me
cloudtang030 with how lazy i am, id be fine with that
Lymark Wong i dont get sex as it is and they wouldnt even know i was fapping under the robes
cloudtang030 il have a nap and say im learning to meditate
I'm with you mate
But you cant have dinner. That's sad ;(
As the perspective from a chef, I'm totally fine with his Pad Thai. Seriously, Pad Thai is really hard for making a sauce or the taste. I my self am Thai and couldn't really figure out what's the real taste of Pad Thai. So keep up the good work, Mr. Ramsay.
One of the most wholesome moments in anime history.
I am not thai, but I was a server at a thai restaurant, and one day thai buddhist monks came into the restaurant. I was not allowed to directly hand them anything and I had to kneel to make myself physically lower than them (because I am a woman). This emotionally effected me. I was trying to be respectful but I was really taken aback by this experience.
This is pretty hypocritical coming from Gordon Ramsay. He has made a TV series out of telling restaurant owners and chefs that their food tastes awful, they have fought back saying their customers like it, and Chef Ramsay shut them down. He did here exactly what all those owners and chefs have been doing instead of accepting what a chef who knows more than him says.
If you've ever actually watched his shows you'd know the customers DON'T like the food. They don't eat it, they send it back and these places call him in because they're failing and no-one is eating there. This is hardly a comparable situation.
@@SpidercraftServer And if you understood reality TV you'd know that stuff is most likely staged.
@@melissasmith6762 Sure, a lot of stuff on the show is probably staged. The fact like a serious amount of the businesses who call him in fail afterwards means that the issues they're having with their business are real though.
@@SpidercraftServer Like a restaurant you enjoy has never gone out of business. It just happens sometimes despite reasonable quality food.
As a Buddhist and a Thai person.
Everyone have different tastes but in Thai you need to choose and tell yourself to the waiter how would you like your food.
Monks can't complain about food but they can tell if they like it or not because this is the only way monks can get food they can't complain.And they said it was actually great.And on the other TV programmes the food was actually bad if you listen the customers opinions.
what would the monk say? "oh no....your food tasted horrible"?
the waiter in 0:24 is so polite that he's more british than thai! lol
"I can see from the color it looks nice" lol
lol hes such a lil boy waiting for approval, so cute
1:36 i'm dead 😂😂😂
For starts what bothered me was that Gordon makes his own recipie of pad thai, then when he got feedback from an actual thai chef in a thai restaurant, on if it was good, he didn't believe him? I would take the chef' opinion more seriously, Gordon is a great chef, but he isn't a great Thai chef. Then to question the bhuddist monks? C'mon Ramsay. Do you even have the faintest clue as to what culture you're in?
Tbf gordon has travelled around the world so he had definitely tasted a pad thai himself. Im gussing he made his own version just as every other chef would do ya know. Adding their own twists to make it even better. Its just a matter of cultural differences
@@ragingpotato-y- I agree as a Thai person.Different people have different tastes.
But the chef doesn't give any useful feedback. He just complained that it wasn't the normal pad thai. But Ramsey was making his own take on the dish. If the world was how you see it, there would be no innovation at all. In fact pad thai itself was only invented in the 1930s as part of that same process of innovation. So it seems a bit silly to criticise him as being disrespectful for not making the same way, when the dish wouldn't exist at all if everybody thought that way.
@@arandombard1197 yes
ramsay looks like a lil kid who wants to always please his parents... look at that smile on his face :))
That Ramsay is so concerned about what the monks thought about his Pad Thai dish is an example of how seriously he takes cooking, as well as how much pride he takes in it. This is why he is one of the best chefs in the world.
ur right
Gordon Ramsey is very insecure about his Pad Thai, lol.
Honestly, you cant expect to barge into any culture and claim you're great at cooking their cuisine, even if you've cooked it many times in the comfort of your own cultural environment. It's like putting sesame into your noodles and calling it Asian - yes it may taste great to you and to many asian people as well, but that doesn't make it asian.
Ramsay put monks on the spot by asking a question they aren't inclined to give critical answers for.
I like how the monks greet each other. You don't have to touch.
i think the thai chef doesn.t like pad thai because it doesn.t taste like the thai pad thai, but it doesn.t mean he doesn.t like it, he doesn.t like as how a pad thai should be, maybe the monks like it because they ate thai food all the time and gordon's pad thai is somethin new to the monks.
+Shareef Sakundee Yeah. The chef didn't seem like he DISLIKED it, and I doubt it tasted bad at all. It's fucking Gordon Ramsey, it will definitely TASTE good. I think the chef just meant it didn't taste like the authentic pad thai.
+Jess Osborn it's fucking RAW!
+Shareef Sakundee I have this wonderful English language study website, would you like a link to it?
+Rising Boner My English is fine Mr. Boner lol. But why not, i.ll just give it to the person if they need. thnksu
Forbidden to cook... Forbidden to talk to while eating... Sounds like the perfect excuse to join this religion -.- "Oh I'm not allowed to cook. YOU have to cook for me, and shut the fuck up while you're doing it!" Awesome...
In fact, you can talk to them. They can be flexible for that. It just they shouldnt talk while eating bcs it doesnt look polite/neat/calm. But if someone want to talk to them, its ok. They are forbidden to cook, yes, but they are forbidden to ask for food too. They have to be simple like.. any food you give even it mix with other or look uneatable, they should be able to eat. Bcs those are food, good taste is not the key, eat only for living. If no food is given, no eat too. Just some training for not greedy. Some monk live and meditiate in a forest among wild life, they will be more calm and peace in place like that.
Moreover, what you said and know are just some little parts of the religion and got mistake in the key purpose of the behavior. Would be good if you have chance to share opinion with the real (who meditate a lot and calm and not greedy, no anger, peace..etc. which really real) monk, he would give some peace opinion about living for u, just .. if you want to open mind and understand the purpose of what you dont really know about. ;)
+Thoraxe555 Getting to their level of esteem is not as simple as walking in like "lel, I'm a monk too, feed me!"
+conan263 what do you mean?
If you really learn the culture, you will understand.
Celibacy... Living in an isolated monastery... Slowly reducing food portions till you starve to death (to attain Nirvana)... Eating one meal, and only one meal, a day... Forcing yourself to avoid most/all forms of emotion... Remaining calm at all times... Training yourself to ignore pain... Training yourself to ignore luxuries... Sounds like the perfect excuse for you to stfu and learn a bit more about the religion (and its culture that ties in). Note: I'm not Buddhist.
I laughed super hard when Ramsey shook the mans hand after giving him the Thai greeting.
Gordon's Pad Thai looks nice to me. FYI about offering food to Buddhist monk, actually monks will never complain about food that has been offered. Monks eat food only to survive not for its taste and be thankful for those who offer. In Thailand, many cannot offer restaurant food, so they offer as simple as just boiled rice. But they will freshly cook rice and will not eat the rice before giving to monks. So, the basic of offering is goodwill and right intention of people who offer.
he just said "shit" in a Buddhist temple lol, that's disrespectful.
i dont think they gave a shit
Ben Donaldson Actually if they knew they would...If you have ever been to thailand, you would know how serious they take their temples.
Someone must be fun at parties :))))
Ben Donaldson It doesnt make sense out of the monk world, yeah, but still, its their world, you cant just come and judge people like that man.
Ben Donaldson if they even knew what he said haha
For some strange reason I would have thought the monks were vegetarian. Also why did Gordon need to use the word "shit" in the temple, contradicts the respect and seriousness he keeps banging on about.
+Gunzee Buddisim have different branch just like other religions. The Monks in Majority of China, India, Japan are vegan. However, monks in south Asia will eat meat due to the different in beliefs~
+Gunzee nah im sure the monks are alright with it
Zixu Wang vegetarian not vegan, tibetean monk dalai lama, a vajrayana buddist is also not a vegetarian.
Gordon: "One simple question, did you enjoy the Pad Thai??"
MONK: "IT'S FUCKING RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"
I'm so proud of Thai dishes :)
Yeah, it's the most picked dish probably because it's the only dish with a lot of carbs in it. Notice how it's the only noodle dish there. If it was good there would be none left in the bowl LOL.
+Terror of Pirate's Cove, Foxy! there was a fucking asian chili looking dish in there shut the fuck up m8 lol
asdfg79660 Nice try dude, nice try, but Asians don't make chili. Haha, good effort to save Gordan's face tho!
+Terror of Pirate's Cove, Foxy! who gives a shit?
Terror of Pirate's Cove, Foxy! chili looking dish. I didn't say "MEXICAN CHILI WITH GROUND BEEF AND JALAPENOS" i said in essence, something similar to chili. please think before you type
so they aren't allowed to cook but can they harvest food to eat? like corn, apples, etc.
+Liatin1 i was wondering the same thing, someone wrote that they cant cook but they cant ask for food either so they are obliged to eat anything they are given, really interesting
+Gems Phassawat The English is perfect.
Gems Phassawat Your English is flawless. A lot better than the kids here in America.
i found flaws
Great Cooking Gordon!! I Loved The Show! Still handsome and strong :)
The moment Ramsey ask the Monk , I was like " Oh gosh you don't , are you serious " .
these bastards just discovered a way to eat free food im a be a monk some day!
They only eat one meal a day though. I don't think it's worth
Thomas Luong with that much food i think its worth it
Byte Jugkarin fuck ok its harder than i thought
you can be a beggar and eat often.
Lol He could not handle that criticism. Also the monks can’t complain about food freely given so they would not have said no. Typical westerner inability to respect other people culture.
mellandy87 ok dude chill out lmao
i don't think this is all westerners chill out
But they can choose to not eat MORE OF THAT DISH THEN ANY OTHER if they didnt like it xD
ohhhhh why gr so charming and adorable man ever i really love him he always enthusiastic and have passion in Food i mean you so cute when the monks say yes aww come on
How the hell do we read your name?
0:41 The monks are chanting "get it on,bang a gong, get it on,bang a gong" source: i once smoked some Thai stick.Which gave me a hankerin' for some Pad Thai.
