HOW-TO: Scrambled Eggs

Hi guys!

Do you like funny cooking videos? 

If yes, I’ve got a treat for you.

Here’s a vid of Gordon Ramsay, the famous British f-word chef, teaching Jimmy Kimmel, the American talk show host, how to make scrambled eggs.

And oh boy, it’s an uphill battle for Jimmy.

Below you will find some of the expressions said by Gordon and Jimmy I’ve decided to translate for you. 

Enjoy!
