It was supposed to be Meghan Markle’s proud culinary moment—her sleek “As Ever” brand of raspberry spread, carefully branded for the wellness elite, was finally gracing the tables of a popular upscale eatery in Los Angeles. But in one searing moment, that dream collapsed under the weight of world-famous chef Gordon Ramsay’s furious palate. As the celebrity chef took a bite of a scone layered with Meghan’s prized raspberry jam, the entire restaurant fell silent. Ramsay pushed the plate away, spat out the spread, and boomed, “This isn’t food—it’s a crime against fruit. Unfit for a dog’s breakfast!” The remark, now circulating online with wildfire speed, has become the latest public humiliation for Meghan, whose post-royal ventures continue to spiral into ridicule. Meghan had hoped her “As Ever” raspberry spread would signal a new chapter—moving away from her controversial royal fallout and into the wellness lifestyle space. Carefully branded with pastel labels and buzzwords like “organic,” “farm-to-table,” and “handcrafted,” the jam was supposed to compete with other luxury pantry items. But Ramsay, who has a world-renowned nose for gimmicks, wasn’t buying it. He slammed the texture as “slimy,” the flavor as “over-processed,” and the concept as “pretentious nonsense.” According to those at the table, his words weren’t just criticism—they were a scathing character judgment. Ramsay saw right through the brand’s polished marketing and went straight for the throat.
