Gordon Ramsay Mocks The Queen's Food 8/30/08

TV chef Gordon Ramsay has criticized British Queen Elizabeth II's daily menu, branding it "prehistoric".

The acid-tongued cook tasted the food at Buckingham Palace in London after picking up his OBE (Order of the British Empire) there in 2006 - and he was unimpressed by the royal culinary efforts.

He tells U.S talk show host Jay Leno, "You never actually get to know who is cooking for the Queen - but I wouldn't employ him because the food was s**t.

"Unfortunately, you have to go through the ceremony with the canapes which are just absolutely, shockingly s**t.

"They look prehistoric, like 300 years old."
