Chef Ramsay branded ‘stupid’

SIR Paul McCartney has criticised Gordon Ramsay – calling the TV chef “stupid”.
Ramsay, 41, has angered the ex-Beatle, 66, with his outspoken comments against vegetarians.
The foul-mouthed chef has said he could not tolerate it if one of his three daughters came home with a vegetarian boyfriend.
Kitchen Nightmares star Ramsay said recently: “If one of my daughters’ boyfriends turns out to be vegetarian I swear to God I’d never forgive them.”
In another tirade, he said: “My biggest nightmare would be if the kids ever came up to me and said ‘dad, I’m a vegetarian’. Then I would sit them on the fence and electrocute them.”
Sir Paul, who has not eaten meat for 30 years, said: “I think it’s a case of live and let live.
“I will talk to people about the advantages of vegetarianism and it will upset me if we’ve had a good conversation and they turn around and say something stupid.
“I just read a quote from Gordon Ramsay . . . ‘If my daughter ever grew up and married a vegetarian, I’d never forgive her.’
“But even that I would forgive because it’s not my affair, it’s not up to me if he talks stupid or not.”
