Puerto Rican Mom's React To Gordon Ramsay Making Pegao 

She said "what in the Daddy Yankee" 😂😂😂😂 I'm so glad that they were brutally honest. He butchered pegao.

This dish was like what Christopher Columbus did to the Taínos.

It was awful! We should Challenge him to do a redo along side a Puerto Rican chef 👨🏾‍🍳

First Rachel Ray with the pozole & now Gordon Ramsey... Lmfao! Leave the Latinos alone.

The Pegao we eat in Puerto Rico is when u make rice, the oil that u use to cook goes to the bottom of the caserole, making the rice at the bottom stick together, and get crispy and crunchy with a yellowish color, and giving it an unique fried flavor to it. IT IS NOT the same as Burnt Rice where the bottom is all black it is definitively NOT what Gordon Ramsay is making.

There is no recipe for pegao, it just happens! 🇵🇷

My mami talking about this: "¿Pero que hace el loco este? ¡Ay Dios, pero así no de hace! 'Ta loco el viejo ese.

When English cooks try to do anything not European, it’s a disaster.

El pega'o, como dijo la primera que habló, es un accidente (que sabe bueno) que ocurre cuando se hace arroz en un caldero. No hay una receta para hacerlo a propósito. El pega'o va a saber de acuerdo a los ingredientes que eches en el arroz que originalmente quieres hacer.

hizo el cagao en vez del pegao🤣🤣🤣

Everyone in PR that makes Pegao right now 😲

Holy shit 😂😂😂 did he confuse pegao (or concon like we Dominicans call it) with "chofan"? And if he did, he still screwed it up!🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ You don't "make" pegao/concon... It just happens!

He should call this adivinao, porque el lo ADIVINO SOLO☠😭🙈😂

I hope he watches this. I'm not even pr but I know pegao and this ain't it. I'm actually kind of offended. That was like 2 day old rice stir fried with egg and cilantro. Yikes

Pegao is "stuck" rice at the bottom of the caldero, the pan! It's not complicated Gordon Ramsey!

I mean he did make pegal just not pegao

THESE WOMEN HAD ME DYING

Not PR but I’m Colombian and Dominican and this is not pegao either. I’m in shock

He was taking notes from Rachael ray

WHAT IS THE DAMNED BUTTER DOING IN PUERTORRICAN CUISINE?!

The problem with chefs that do this is they title and present dishes to be authentic to w/e culture it’s from. I’ll say the same thing I said about Ramsey making huevos rancheros, and Rachel’s pozole: it looks delicious, but you CANT call it pegao when it’s your version of it and inauthentic to the way it’s supposed to be made. This is how you get people that eat your pegao and assume that this is exactly how Puerto Ricans make it, which is misleading.

We deserve an apology for this one ...

He made every Abuela put her foot down from chair 😂

Did he just colonized pegao?

You Need A Caldero To Make Pegao😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱😂😂😂😂🤣

Ironmouse already said this isn't pegao, and these ladies confirmed it.

Gordon finna get banned from the island in a minute

Doesnt "disfrazado" mean disguised or dressed up, not "disgusting"?

I love how everyone has the same reaction to this

One love fellow human sisters and brothers. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻☯️☮️🌈

Now I wanna know what and how Pegao is made. Sounds very interesting.

“So this won’t happen again” guuurrrl this is not his first Latino recipe he’s massacred like this and I’m sure it won’t be his last. He doesn’t seem to care how much we complain about him not cooking our recipes authentically.

Please do an episode of portuguese people reacting to Gordon Ramsay's "bifana". People are going crazy in Portugal seeing what he cooked, that he calls a traditional bifana. A few months ago he also made a "traditional portuguese breakfast" that makes no sense, but the bifana is just sacrilege.

3:40 this part lmaooo

He had it right it is "pegal" because what he made was very much not in anyway a Puerto Rican dish. Gordon, you can keep this one. 😅🤷‍♀️

🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🥰🥰🥰🥰Yup!! There are thousands ( including my great grandmother) of Taino Indians turning in their graves 🤦🏽‍♀️.... "What in the Daddy Yankee, ISN'T going on here"...🤭😂😂😂😂💯...How TF you're in PR and still get it WRONG 🤔This needs to go viral 💅🏽🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Once he said the word "pegao" i already knew it wasn't gonna go well

I’m so glad someone did this because I saw this video from Gordon Ramsay and I’m Puerto Rican. I was shook watching it because it was so so wrong. Like he did no research at all then was like oh this is authentic. Umm no sir!

This is hilarioussssss pegao is literally just over cooked rice Ramsay embarrassed himself in the eyes of the Hispanics 🤣

I dont know what pegao is. But I assumed it was the bit stuck to bottom of pan when you cook rice... Gordon ramsay is trained in French cuisine and that's it. I find his takes on Indian food offensive so I can understand why these Puerto Ricans were mad lol. These tv chefs are one cuisine trick ponies and you realise that when they cook your(i.e. non european) cuisine. Rick stein is a rivered chef for his fish yet I've seen him leave many of his dishes raw on his India journeys

I feel like someone was trying to get REVENGE on Ramsey for telling him this is the way Puerto Ricans cook. No homie. Someone lied to you.

I came on here, first because it's PeroLike...but as a dominican i grew up knowing that Puerto Ricans call pegao what we call con-con... So i was intrigued about what "pegao" was besides what we all know it is... And we as a collective are all in agreement: pegao/concon is just the crunchy fried rice toasted on the bottom when you make whatever rice you make....

My friend Mariam, taught me how to make pegao! After cooking five pounds of rice, I perfected it! She’s says I’m an honorary Puerto Rican! I would have never wanted to make it MY way, only authentic!💯👏🏾

Thank you for this video. I was equally disappointed. Shared. ♡

Puneta Jodio el Pegao!😂😂😂😂😂 When I saw that I was like Que Carajo es Eso?😋😋😋

It looks closer to Mamposteao than Pegao. Also, rice isn't native to The Americas, it was introduced by the Spanish. Tainos aren't turning over this.

What the heck is that? It certainly ISN’T pegao. That’s insane. It’s just any rice that’s stuck in the pan. It’s not a recipe. I wouldn’t call this appropriation, it’s just a lie! Imagine if I said: “we’re cooking fish and chips. Take a turkey and cook it…” The heck.

There is a similar Persian dish, Tahdig. I'm not so sure if, just like one of the moms said, that Pegao came from the Tainos (I guess that's what she meant when they would be rolling in their graves). Puerto Rican cuisine has elements from African, Arabic, European, Arawakan and Taino cultures.

Pegao is something that just happen when the oil that you put on the rice go to the bottom of the pot

-“thousands of Taino are rolling in their graves” Do they… do they not realize that rice comes from Asia?

Sing, Dont eat me! Hay Padre! 😂 Gordon hizo el disparate del año.

LMAO FINALLY, other Caribbean Island welcome to the HELL Jamaican cuisine has been fighting lol.

He didnt even get that much crisp. Like 1/3 of his rice actually had a crust on it.

The first time someone Can critique him 😅

I had no idea what in the bad bunny I was watching but when he threw in butter and eggs I screamed. And here’s the sofrito??? A SKILLET???? There was no Recao or ají dulce either, which is a minimum. And i know he’s heard of cumin, oregano, and thyme. It’s like he heard the name “pegal” (seriously ramsey? You can google shit now) and just made up whatever the hell he wanted

He needs to stick to his own cuizine and stop cooking food from other cultures that he doesn't know anything about. That what ever he cooked there?! is not our recipe in any way...and it sure isn't pegao.

Puerto Rican eating Ramsay's food after serving it. "What is this porqueria"!!

I thought we got pegao by mistake. You don't set out to make pegao it just happens

My fiancé and I fight for pegado lol but homie did not do it right! Lol

Yo aquí ando gritando q carajos este esta haciendo ahí, padre santo....

I laughed so hard. Thank you.

El pegao no se hace intencionalmente sino que es el residuo o lo que queda en el fondo del caldero; nadie dice voy a cocinar un pegao xD

Pegao is not a recipe. It is a result, a bonus, a gift that results when Mom cooks her arroz treats...

It's insulting, he acted like an expert. He's not even familiar with the cuisine. He basically made the equivalent of pineapple pizza, except infinitely crappier.

What is the heck was that food that he made!?! 🤔🤔😂😂 I neva eva saw ANYTHING like that on the island!!!

What he made was a Gumbo. While watching this video, I felt a kick in the stomach. As if we don't matter, a joke on a tradition. That was awful, Mister Ramsey. You owe us an apology.

I don't get why so many people complaining about the way he made the dish. There is no correct way to make a dish! Everyone makes it slightly different or a LOT different! I'm Puerto Rican, but this doesn't bother me because people from other places make the dish slightly different. Though I do agree with the ones that said that the chicken looked slightly raw cuz that's how it looked to me too!

Ramsay can't teach any PR how to cook. He can learn from them.

Just as an aside to the Madam that is 'still a fan of his, just not a fan of his Pagao' he largely fucks up everyone's cuisine that isn't British. Only the Old White British Male 'Cooks' are consistently this confidently incorrect with other people's cuisines. * cough * Jamie Oliver, * cough * Paul Hollywood, * cough * .

Thanks for trying Ramsey, but you made the wrong dish bro. You were doing your own thang there

If these videos have taught me anything it's that the ones saying the most actually do the least in the kitchen. Let's see how these ladies do! 😆 Cook it uppppp

He put chorizo!? Wtf 😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is like the chef getting roasted by Asians for butchering fried rice lol. Yo, talk to locals and moms first before you even THINK about recreating the dish.

it’s called concon

This is what happens when you have a Chef that thinks he's above everyone. Clearly he's out of his element. This is not how Puerto Ricans do PEGAO.

I came here to call it Concon 😂😂

Gordon Ramsay is hilarious. One time he literally went to an Indian restaurant and said it’s too spicy. 😂 like what did he expect it. He can’t cook anything but bland, flavorless food

My first thought when I saw the title… 🤦🏽‍♀️what do you mean he “makes” pegao?? He pulled this straight out his a**💩..😂

Pegao reminds me of Persian Tahdig, which is the same thing essentially, we intentionally cook the rice a bit more and even add potato, or noodles to it sometimes!

Personally I don't like crisp rice like pegao, in Dominican Republic we call it Con Con, but even I know that is not the proper way to make it. What he tried to do was over cooked fried rice. We don't do fried rice in the Caribbean.

Idk how he’s making this a dish when pegao is the end of your arroz 🤣🤣 he making fried rice

I don’t even like pegao and I was cringing at this

Gordon Ramsey...stick to what you know...just like pegao sticks to the bottom of a caldero. What you did to our beloved rice was an insult to all Puerto Ricans. My father used to scrape it up and roll it into a ball and gave it to me as an extra delight cause I was so thin and frail. I'll never forget!

Im a Gringa and even I know this is all wrong😳😲😂😂😂😂😂A Puerto Rican woman from Puerto Rico taught me how to make rice and gundules and how to season pernil so I know what he's doing is horrible😭😭😭😂😂😂😂🤷🤷🤷

Let me keep it real simple for the folks , it's the burnt part of the rice on the bottom of the pan.

I’m Puerto Rican and love arroz pegao…but also at the end of the day all it is is burnt rice… these people are taking about pegao like it’s a cuisine…it’s just burnt rice. If Gordon would make “traditional pegao”, he would be standing there for 5 mins showing us how to burn rice. sometimes my people are something else. Also for some reason they don’t show what it actually would look like in the video cuz again it’s just burnt rice at the bottom…not a fancy dish like these woman make it sound like. Our culture is not about BURNT RICE!!!!

Representing Añasco, PR. What in the hell is going on here 🧐🧐🧐

We should host a show called Cocina Infernal and have Ramsey as a participant. He would get destroyed by grandmas.

Arroz pegao o amogollao? And just so people know, you can't get pegao if you make rice in glassware, even if you coat the rice with oil. It is more likely to come out in a caldero, but other metal pots will work. Creo que el tipo merece pulgar abajo pero no se puede sin darle un "view". El pegao no es siempre accidente a veces es sin querer, queriendo.

Ustedes me tienen muriendo de la risa. Eso es un arroz con culo 😂

We called cocolon, is the best part of the rice the cocoloncito is crunch and yummy. 🤤🤤

What the hell is that??? Eggs in rice? You can have pegao with white rice, yellow rice, arroz con gandules...etc., but that Gordon is crap!!

That is definitely not pegao. Pegao happens in the caldero when the rice cooks

That was borderline offensive. To make a dish that is part of a culture and to not care to even do research on how to make it. Urgh... Ya de por si no lo soportaba, ahora menos.

Pero que carajooooo 🤣😂😂😂

She says Ramsey is harsh, and then they all go violently ballistic on him!! 😂🤣😂 And they’re all right. Ramsey’s rice is everything but pega’o.

😭 leave our pegao alone fam

He should have said a disclaimer- this is an anglicized PR inspired dish. No no no 👎🏽

Señora 3:42 los indios Tainos no cocinaban arroz! Comían maíz, maní, ajíes y algunos tubérculos como la yautía, batata y yuca, con la que elaboraban el pan de casabe. Los Tainos no sabían ni que rayos era arroz!!! LMAO! La principal actividad de los taínos era la agricultura; para lo cual realizaban sembrados que llamaban conucos. Cultivaban mandioca en sus variedades dulce y amarga, para lo cual empleaban abonos y sistemas de riegos; otros cultivos importantes eran papa, maíz, maní, pimienta, piña, batata, algodón, y tabaco. Las Tainas eran las que cultivaban en los conucos. El arroz fue introducido en las Americas por los colonos y por fue causado por un accidente en 1685. Si usted es Borriqueña es muy importante que aprenda la historia de su pueblo nativo bien, para que no difumine estupidez sin sentido lógico al mundo. Le recomiendo que lea el libro Historia de Las Américas de 7mo grado de escuela publica de Puerto Rico, que se utilizaba hace 52 años cuando yo estaba en 7mo grado en la escuela. Tambien cualquier arroz en el mundo puede hacer pegao! El pegao no es patrimonio único de Puerto Rico! En España se hace pegao en China se hace pegao u hasta en Rusia se come pegao. Usted es verdaderamente graciosa y cada vez que abre la boca en este video suena como un chiste surgido de la ignorancia! Si no le gusta la receta no la haga! A mi no me gusta la comida gringa, por eso no la como. Haga arroz con pegao como le de la gana. LMAO!

I saw this video on Tiktok when it came out and people were defending him.
