Gordon Ramsay's new £18 dish slammed by foodies who say it looks like it's 'for a dog'

A new dish available at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant has been blasted online by food fans who think it looks like something you might feed your dog.

The Arnold Bennett Souffle with aged cheddar sauce is a signature dish at the Savoy Grill, which the top chef bought in 2003, and has been on the menu for nearly 100 years - although it has been tweaked from the traditional smoked haddock omelette into a souffle.

But after the dish was shared on Twitter by Gordon himself, it didn't take long for foodies to question the appearance of the meal - which the chef flogs for £18 at the fancy restaurant, which opened in 1889.

The Hells Kitchen chef posted a video of the sauce being poured on top of the souffle and wrote: "A Savoy Grill signature … Arnold Bennett Soufflé with aged cheddar sauce. Simply perfect!"

And among some of the scathing comments were some that compared the dish to "mashed potato with cheese sauce", as well as "puke" and dog food.

One person wrote: “If that is for the dog, what are we eating?”

While another added: “God that looks like puke!”

And a third quipped: "So mashed potatoes with cheese sauce … might make this for dinner tonight."

"Yuck", a fourth stated.

Not all the comments were negative though, with some insisting the dish looked appetising enough to "send their hunger through the roof".

Someone said: "It's so delicious."

As someone else posted: "You just sent my hunger through the roof!"

The Arnold Bennett Souffle is priced at £18 and is actually the third cheapest dish on the Savoy Grill's menu, beaten only by a watercress sauce that costs £15, and poached oysters which come out as £5 each.

Gordon, who is known for his foul mouth and often slams other people's cooking on his social media accounts, is no stranger to facing criticism over his dishes, either.

Most recently, we reported that the chef was roasted for sharing a video of some smoking lamb cutlets that were made at his Lucky Cat restaurant in Mayfair, London, which some said looked "burnt".

One person said it looked like the dish had been "cooked on an ashtray", while another asked: "Who put the lamb bones in the ashtray?"

Others said: "Why does meat always have to be raw as f**k or burnt to a crisp?" and "Is someone seriously going to eat that burnt offering".
