Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of football legend David Beckham and fashion icon Victoria Beckham, has found himself in hot water—literally—after a recent cooking post on social media.
The 25-year-old aspiring chef shared a video suggesting the use of seawater to cook pasta, claiming it adds a "natural saltiness" to the dish. However, the unconventional culinary advice quickly drew criticism from both fans and food safety experts.
Experts Warn of Health Risks
Nutritionists and environmental health officers were quick to point out the potential dangers of using untreated seawater in cooking. "Seawater can contain harmful bacteria, viruses, and pollutants," explained Dr. Sarah Jenkins, a food safety specialist. "Even in coastal areas with clean water, there's always a risk of contamination."
Social Media Reactions
The internet had a field day with Beckham's suggestion, with comments ranging from amused to outright horrified:
- "Next he'll be telling us to season with sand"
- "This is why we have salt in shops"
- "I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe stick to photography"
Some users defended Beckham's creativity, while others questioned why someone with access to the finest ingredients would opt for such an unconventional method.
Not His First Cooking Controversy
This isn't the first time Brooklyn's culinary adventures have raised eyebrows. His previous cooking videos have been criticized for everything from questionable techniques to underwhelming presentation. The latest seawater suggestion has only added fuel to the debate about his culinary credentials.
Whether this was a genuine cooking tip or just an attempt to create buzz remains unclear. Either way, it's certainly got people talking—though perhaps not in the way Beckham intended.
