Brooklyn Beckham has found himself at the center of a social media storm after releasing a cooking video that left viewers bewildered. In his latest culinary endeavor, Beckham, 27, uses ocean water to boil noodles, sparking a wave of both curiosity and criticism.
In a TikTok video shared by the budding chef, Beckham is seen preparing a tomato pasta dish. The clip opens with him stepping into the sea with a sizable pot, confidently declaring, “Of course we get some pasta water,” before submerging it to gather the seawater.
After filling his pot, Beckham briefly showcases it to the camera, proudly presenting his unconventional ingredient before moving forward with his recipe.
He then continues with the preparation by chopping yellow and red tomatoes. Adding them to a pan with some oil and salt, Beckham doesn’t forget to give his dish a personal touch by incorporating his own Cloud23 hot sauce over the tomatoes, aiming to add a flavorful kick to his creation.
He proceeds to dice yellow and red tomatoes, before adding oil to a pan and adding salt. He then uses his own Cloud23 hot sauce to pour over the tomatoes.
After boiling the noodles and adding them to the pan, he takes a bite alongside another chef, and the two appear to enjoy the final result.
Critics took to the comment section of the post to mock him using seawater for the pasta noodles.
“Pasta water with a hint of burnt boat fuel please sir,” one comment reads.
Another user questioned, “Is this ragebait?” while another worried, “Isn’t the ocean water dirty?”
Yet another horrified comment reads, “As italian, I’m pretty sure that sea water is the best way to spent all the next day in the bathroom 👍.”
Others mocked Beckham’s cooking abilities.
“Is there no beginning to his talents?!” one user quipped.
“Tomorrow I’m making corn flakes,” another critic joked, while another cracked, “Today im gonna make bread and butter.”
Beckham’s cooking videos have been ruthlessly mocked for years. Back in June 2023, he was trolled for frying chicken in an excessive amount of avocado oil.
“That’s at least $25 worth of avocado oil 😮,” one critic commented.
In October of that year, Beckham insisted that the mean comments didn’t faze him.
“To be honest, I’m used to the hate,” he told Insider. “It doesn’t really bother me.”
“Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me.”
