As a renowned foodie there aren't many dishes that could faze him. So Gordon Ramsay didn't think twice as he tucked into a swamp rat stew whilst filming his National Geographic series, Uncharted. The potty-mouthed chef, 53, helped catch and kill a semiaquatic rodent known as a coypu or nutria whilst in the Southern American state of Louisiana.

The guy had a pretty miserable childhood but like him or not, he made the best of things.
I haven’t watched him in forever.
I didn’t even know his shows were still on.
Regularly served in DC
He turns my stomach the moment I see his face. Reminds me of my ex-boss.
Nutria Stew!
Great, now I’m starving..
Also known as a kind of sable.
Boudreau and Thibodeau were out hunting one evening.
When a UFO landed in a field next to them.
A door opened and little green men stepped out.
Thibodeau said “What is dat?!”
Boudreau replied, “I don’t know but you go back to the camp and start the roux.”
Nutria is nutritious!.................
Gordon’s restaurant venture in his home town in Scotland failed because he tried to convince people to eat fancy french.
I think that was his inspiration to give people the food that they want, but in a haute cuisine style. Plain food, but prepared the best that it can be, using the finest ingredients.
“I saw a show where a resident on Maryland’s Chesapeake shore ate muskrat.”
A lot of fascinating culture in the Chesapeake Bay! Virginia tends to have the more unique IMHO.
Hmm? The sable is a species of marten (weasel) that lives in Russia. Is this a local appellation, maybe having to do with the fur trade?
"Now I make a mean Weed Rat Stew!"
I had a muskrat coat once. It got smelly so I sold it at a garage sale. I also had a gorilla fur coat. Again, it got smelly. I did wear the gorilla to a ballet once in Chicago. It was gorgeous. Probably totally illegal for me to own it. I think I boat it at a garage sale.
Muskrats small like orange oil and their fur is immaculate.
"No, it's a kind of rat."
Ah, I see. Never watched that show, so the in-jokes would go over my head.
Sables are carnivorous martens, members of the mustellidae family [ferrets, weasels, ermine, otters, minks and badgers]... no relation to nutria and muskrats which are rodents.
I had a hat like that once. Left it at some girl’s apartment...
