Gordon Ramsay knows what he's talking about when it comes to Michelin starred fine dining food – there's no denying that.

But the celebrity chef has upset some Scots with a menu item at his Edinburgh branch of his high-street restaurant, Street Burger.

The Hell's Kitchen star shared details of the burger on Twitter, telling his followers: "Try the full Scottish at @gordonramsaystreetburger Edinburgh – with Lorne sausage, a hash brown and an over-easy egg."

The brekky burger also had some lettuce and tomato in there, too.

It looked delicious... there's no denying that. However, some Scots weren't so sure he'd truly nailed the Scottish breakfast inspo.

“Full Scottish with no tattie scone, haggis or black pudding, and with a hash brown which is not actually full Scottish content. Grow up,” joked one person in the comments.

Whilst another wrote: "Nae tatties?? Nae black pudding??? With Lettuce?? That really is not a Scottish Breakfast!"

"Cmon should be Tattie Scone instead of hash brown," urged a third.

As a fourth chimed in: "LETTUCE at breakfast !!! Have a serious word with yourself."

The breakfast burger is available at Gordon's restaurant at Edinburgh’s St James Quarter.

It costs £13, and those who order it on delivery apps have the option to pay more and add more sausage, cheese, egg or even Wagyu steak.

Maybe the label Full Scottish wasn't quite right, but we'd embrace this burger under a different name any day.

It's only available at the Scottish site, as a tribute to the locals, so here's hoping some of 'em embrace it a bit more than the folks on Twitter.

Whatever you think of Gordon's Scottish burger, one thing is for sure, he knows how restaurants work.

So, you might wanna listen to the advice he gave recently about what menu item to be a little wary of.

Speaking to the Town & Country, Gordon said soup of the day isn't always what it seems.

He added that they're often made of the ingredients from yesterday’s ‘specials’ menu.

“Ask what yesterday’s soup du jour was before today’s special,” he said. “It may be the case that it’s the soup du month.”

He's also warned people off Specials in the past, telling the Mail: “Specials are there to disappear throughout the evening. When they list 10 specials that’s not special.”
