A Masterchef contestant was booted off the show after serving judges an uncooked and unplucked bird.

Cooking under pressure while on a competitive reality show is no easy feat as you are competing against other amateur chefs to impress the seasoned pros.

But imagine the pressure in the kitchen proves too much for you that you serve up a truly terrifying dish as a revenge stunt for the judges.

That’s exactly what happened in the Spanish edition of the popular cooking show when the contestants were asked to prepare and cook a whole partridge.

Saray Carrillo, who was 27 when she appeared on the show, was looking to wow the judges in the eighth season (2020), but harsh criticism of her previous efforts had turned the relationships sour.

It’s reported Saray told the panel that she had a fear of birds, so when the competitors were challenged to cook one for a challenge, she instead took it as a calculated attack on her, per The Mirror.

Rather than making any attempt to pluck, prepare, or cook the bird, the competitor placed it on a plate and then garnished it with some sliced tomatoes and spring onion.

She then walked up to the judge’s table with a smirk on her face and placed her horrific dish in front of them.

If she planned to leave the judges and contestants absolutely stunned then it worked as everyone’s jaws dropped the second they laid eyes on the uncooked bird. Some opponents even stood with their heads in their hands as one judge looked at the meal and uttered words in Spanish, which translated as: “This is never seen in MasterChef,” per Metro.
