Over on Reddit people are taking great delight in the look on Jamie Oliver’s face when he tried really, really hard to put these American children off chicken nuggets.

He did this by showing them exactly how they were made except, well, it didn’t turn out quite as he might have hoped.

the greatest moment in tv history was when jamie oliver showed children how mcnuggets are made and smugly said 'now who would still eat this?' and literally everyone put their hand up and he looked really sad pic.twitter.com/JRZSAFDXix

That’s gotta stick in the throat.

‘Two things,’ said Redditor Elriuhilu. ‘I don’t know what he thought was going to happen. I mean, they’re small children. Second, he demonstrated how great and not wasteful the process for making nuggets is. Why would you not eat something made of real chicken meat that actively reduces food waste in an efficient way?’

NotASuicidalRobot: “I mean its still meat, you’re not planning on drinking the pink smoothie are you?’

It was different on either side of the Atlantic, by all accounts.

I remember this, I believe he did the experiment twice. In the UK not a single child put their hand up, and in the US all the kids did 😂
