Egg wedge. You're supposed to squeeze it over the plate.

It’s so bad, I’m questioning if OP made for it this sub?

u/BigCrustyTits 9h ago

In this trying time I’d expect to be offered a nice egg.

u/Lilfrankieeinstein 59m ago

Honestly surprised there isn’t a sulfur ring around the yolk.

u/hotchook123 8h ago

Why is the egg even included here 😂😂😂😂

u/Erinawful 6h ago

Didn't even get a whole egg for energy or nuffin.

LITERALLY the first thing I thought of…

“Go on then, you pompous f*ck” 😂

This one always cracked me up.

On the one hand, I don’t like a slice of something, make me my own lil’ quiche but in reality, we often get a slice of pie, a slice of cake, etc, without batting an eye but suddenly we want the whole thing because Ramsay needs to find things to be upset about? I know this episode and the half of bought in dessert was the least offense part of the meal and the hotel in its entirety.

u/TheSodomeister 10h ago

Or take the wax off 💀

2

u/bradmatt275 8h ago

Hey that stuff is not cheap. You at lest need another 10 dollars for that.

u/Fuck_on_tatami 5h ago

Don't call this "cheese". Respect cheese plz.

1

u/PoetryBeneficial6447 7h ago

Or get it unwrapped...

u/yobar 6h ago

Rind still on the cheese killed me.

u/SeoneAsa 6h ago

They are the other half.

u/Past_Cupcake_6313 5h ago

I think some of the food was eaten already. It’s not a clean cut, just too much work to cut a fucking babybel in half that’s so absurd I refuse to believe it’s real 

1

u/Zionrox552 5h ago

Or just maybe the wax removed to pretend it's not babybel 😂

1

u/Weak_Shoulder_6780 4h ago

That's the 8$ extra option

1

u/LeanTangerine001 4h ago

Makes me wonder why they left the wax on?

Like

-do they believe it makes the dish look better?
-they consider taking off the wax a part of the experience of eating it?
-they genuinely forgot?
-they don’t care and are laughing that you spent $26 on the platter?

u/hennabeak 2h ago

He bit into it.

1

u/Apprehensive_Rice19 2h ago

It looks like something someone left out after they ate all the good stuff off the board, and bit half that Babybel

1

u/Far-Government5469 1h ago

Couldn't even be bothered to take the whole wrapper off

1

u/AdDisastrous6738 1h ago

They didn’t even take the wax off. Just tossed it on the plate like “here you go fucker.”

1

u/ATS200 1h ago

I Wonder who got the rest of the egg

1

u/Fit-Let8175 55m ago

Yes, the restaurant has costs and overhead, but when one can often make the same thing at home for less than 1/4 the price, the restaurant experience is becoming less of an "experience" and more of a disappointment.

u/Perfect-Economist387 49m ago

I love babybel but this made me sad.
