Ramsay uses ‘F’ word to describe Ireland: France

HE may have a reputation for a mouth fouler than a month-old Stilton sandwich, but Gordon Ramsay was more fairy cake than hell’s fury on a flying visit to Ireland.

The celebrity chef, famed for his fiery temper and meat cleaver frowns, was positively sugar-coated as he smiled in the sunshine to promote the upcoming opening of his first Irish eaterie.

Ramsay will open a restaurant at the exclusive Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the grounds of Powerscourt Estate, Co Wicklow, in October and he popped over yesterday to meet some of the local producers of the organic vegetables and craft meat and cheeses he plans to use in a menu he says will have a distinctly Irish flavour.
