Celebrity chef starts hallucinating on TV show
August 25th, 2009 - 1:04 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Aug 25 (IANS) Popular chef Jamie Oliver started hallucinating after chewing an ingredient on his cookery show “American Road Trip”.
Mirror.co.uk reports that on the show the 34-year-old was looking for recipes in a Mexican immigrant community in Los Angeles. A market girl gave him a dried brown substance, cactus fungus, and told him to “chew it later”. But when he put it in his mouth, he said it “tastes like sh*t”.
But a few minutes later he squinted his eyes and said: “I think that stuff is sending me slightly mad. I’m starting to hallo, hullca… I can’t even say it. I’m hallucinating.”
He then began to sing strangely and before leaving the market he said: “I’m getting a little bit trippy.”
On his six-part US adventure he also encounters several other bizarre foods, including chopped cactus spikes. “American Road Trip” will go on air next Tuesday on Channel 4.
