Training and Cooking with the Royal Marines | Gordon Ramsay

they're all Marines or one of the world's elite fighting forces the training regime is grueling so they need all the energy they can get from the food they eat these recruits are being pushed to their absolute physical and mental limits I'm dying to find out what fuel actually keeps them going look at them they look absolutely hard as nails I'm meeting corporals Ben Slater and Tim Richards who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and are currently down in Devon to train up the new recruits good to see you both these recruits train like maniacs and eat like horses but the food they're given is bland and boring it's the qualities of food it's important of crews here for 32 weeks and they're going to the same meals day in day out it gets quite mundane I'm here to show them that simple healthy food with all the nutrition that they need can be tasty too but first they're going to teach me a lesson slowly nervous hands down get on with it I'm going to join 20 recruits on the rugged terrain of Woodbury Common for today's exercise the endurance course so timewise I'll also take two asleep well if we can get off the time schools itself either 25 minutes yeah little bit low fatty the only problem is I'm running late as PTI corporal Reggie red drop lets me know right ramsey UAB press-ups you late sorry how many please hundred Tony [ __ ] late now all the way down he's always that miss one of the first in the morning to do a small [ __ ] me some bye three two one go a lady twice as old as the young recruit but there's no way I'll let that affect my performance right let's have a good time here though drums a young recruits ops you find it hard they even find especially hard they'll be times there where you will not want to carry on this course is all about endurance you run in teams of three and each man has to carry a sa80 assault rifle and equipment weighing in at 32 pounds within minutes I was feeling the pain gasping for breath we reached the sheepdip here's where that famous means teamwork kicks in change around after a lungful of air I get to return the favor Selena a raw marine recruits daily intake is over 4,000 calories a day nearly twice that of an average male I'm beginning to understand why they need quite so much fuel for you arthelene occurred we reached the smarty tubes and my heart sinks when I realize which one they're sending me through okay moving on [ __ ] sake give MZ move your ass hi stick yawn without the beads all that think let them speak our motivations go what's the only weapon bros you get a move on clay gonna kill it going man hello [ __ ] up head up tried on 34 minutes and three seconds Ramsey that is shocking what they eat if you let loose I've not broken any records but at least I didn't come last it has to be the hardest course I'll be on Form Athens the dorm Athens you name it how's the longest 30 miles my entire [ __ ] life yeah guys are amazing I mean that's what you call fit fit back to base to get into warm dry clothes then it's time for me to teach them a lesson in cooking these guys aren't feeling the body with the right food they've got no chance of getting through a day's training let alone 32 [ __ ] weeks what are you eating in the field we have 10 my Russian pack breakfast sausage and beans sausage and beans nice stuff up me look at that slight inside a [ __ ] nappy holy crap swell Prince Harry was complaining about it recently on service in Afghanistan yep tell me it's a far cry coming out of Buckingham Palace yeah you guys deserve better right we're gonna do something exciting yeah spicy beef curry after putting me to the test it's now my turn to give the orders for this substantial dish we're gonna use rum steak which is high in protein cut it in half and we're gonna do now is get these really nice large cubes have you ever been out looked at the rations I'm just the fact that I'm waiting that yes quite cozy gloves will take out the real stuff herbs spices Tabasco anything to take the taste off what your you marinate the beef and garam masala yogurt olive oil and salt and pepper now we go chop the onion whole lot the whole lot great fresh garlic and ginger over the onions I can think of the indigestion eaten all those [ __ ] rations so gingers the welcome spice add chilies sugar to help camera onions followed by coriander cardamom and ground spice dry roasting will help intensify the flavor mix fennel coriander cumin and fenugreek seeds which are rich in dietary fiber and soothe the stomach quickly color the marinated beef to seal in the flavors that's the noise order here mixing the beef adding chopped tomatoes and tomato puree the tomato paste goes in in place of any sort of cream or butter such a nice healthy way of eating a spicy curry stock in a normal B stock the spicy beef curry is then left to simmer before being served with rice a virtually fat and cholesterol free slow-release energy source gentlemen come on guys places day is it now go

This video actually really made me like him as a person.

[u/jsting]

This is great. I imagine Gordon being a front line cook during wartime screaming at people to look for fennel and coriander.

[u/tw547]

He wears brief. I don't know, I just never thought about what kind of underwear he wears, but glad I know now.

That course looked like a lot of fun.

[u/coolmanben99]

Obviously best part of the video

[u/Benji9]

Good on him for having a crack! All of them lads will be in absolute bits from the previous 20+ weeks training (endurance course starts in the commando phase). There was a high chance that one of the lads would go down/ be slower than him, probably why he never came last.

Massive respect though!

I want to see him have a fit trying to make a meal for for people on the international space station.
