He caused controversy by killing turkeys and pigs on camera – now Gordon Ramsay is set to ruffle a few more feathers when he’s seen eating a raw duck foetus on his latest cookery show.<\/p>\n

The Michelin-starred chef travels to Cambodia where the dish – essentially an over-developed fertilised egg – is a delicacy.<\/p>\n

Despite looking incredibly unsure, the potty-mouthed celebrity cook showed his stomach was as strong as he language when he took the plunge – and actually said it tasted nice.<\/p>\n

Scroll down to see another of Ramsay’s culinary odysseys from Gordon’s Great Escape…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Moment<\/p>\n

Moment of truth: Gordon Ramsay will be seen eating raw duck foetus straight out of the egg on his new show Gordon’s Great Escape on Monday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"delicacy<\/p>\n

He’s not yolking: The Michelin-starred chef was in Cambodia when he decided to try the snack which is a delicacy in South-East Asia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, he’s unlikely to start serving up the delight – which is called balut or Pong tea khon in Cambodia and is widely eaten across South-East Asia –\u00a0 for his celebrity pals Victoria and David Beckham at dinner parties any time soon…\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The scenes will be shown this Monday on Gordon’s Great Escape, where the culinary king travels to far-flung corners of the globe in a quest for the world’s most unusual foods.<\/p>\n

The kitchen genius ran into trouble earlier this year when it emerged that he had gone fishing for sharks – just 18 months before making a programme investigating their slaughter for shark fin soup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Not<\/p>\n

Not for the faint-hearted: The celebrity chef ate the treat at a roadside cafe in the show, the start of the second series of Gordon’s Great Escape, which sees him cook and eat the foods of South-East Asia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Suck<\/p>\n

Suck it and see: The chef, who has a celebrated palate, actually said that the foetus tasted nice too<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At the time, it was claimed that his \u00a35million golden handcuffs with Channel 4 may not be renewed because of continued controversy and declining viewing figures.<\/p>\n

There have also been a number of controversies over his private and business life over the past couple of years.<\/p>\n

The five-year deal ends in the summer but fears it wouldn’t be renewed appear to have been unfounded.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The bill’s on him: Gordon tried the duck foetus on his travels around South-East Asia which involved a lot of dishes totally alien to the Western world but common in the area<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s rumoured that the chef will re-sign another deal, but perhaps at a reduced rate.<\/p>\n

The star’s shows include Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, which hasn’t been shown since 2009, The F-Word and spin-off Ramsay’s Best Restaurants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Channel 4 spokesperson said: ‘We are continuing to discuss a number of ideas going forward.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Different<\/p>\n

Different world: Gordon probably stuck to hotdogs when he went to see the Los Angeles Lakers with his friend David Beckham on Monday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, if Gordon does get dropped, he’s unlikely to be crying into his cornflakes for very long.<\/p>\n

He still earns a fortune from his U.S. work, getting an estimated \u00a39.4million for his programmes in America.<\/p>\n
