A lot of things make Gordon fucking Ramsay angry, but nothing irritates him quite as much as the fucking idiots who put pineapple on their fucking pizzas. Fuck.
Here’s a direct quote from Gordon Ramsay regarding pizzas that feature pineapple: “You don’t put fucking pineapple on pizza.”
He is, of course, 100% correct. Pineapples are great in cocktails and arguably make for even better underwater houses, but they have no place on a pizza. No fucking place whatsoever.
However, Gordon Ramsay has agreed to relax his staunch anti-pineapple stance for one day, provided he can raise some money for a very worthy cause.
As laid out in an Instagram post uploaded yesterday, if The Gordon and Tana Ramsay Foundation gets 500 donations in a 48-hour period, he’ll Facebook Live himself eating a pineapple fucking pizza. The charity helps with funding for Great Ormond Street Hospital, one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals.
Not content with revelling in the chef’s sure-to-be visible disgust? Well, anyone who donates is entered into a raffle, the winner of which will be flown out to LA as a VVIP (no typo) guest at a live taping of The F Word. Not bad.
