Since coming out last week, Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show, ‘With Love, Meghan,” has prompted all kinds of… feedback.
Some think it’s a nice, wholesome watch that makes for great background noise, while others have called it a ridiculous waste of time.
But, those watching more intently have noticed something interesting in the background of one of the scenes, and it’s got us gagging.
Is that what I think it is?
@Lillyin_London on X has taken to the platform while watching the series to expose some questionable kitchen storage in the background of “With Love, Meghan.”
“Why has Meghan Markle [got] raw chicken legs in the fridge next to the salad???” she wrote.
In the accompanying video, you can see Meghan going to the fridge to grab some lettuce out of the bottom drawer, and, sure enough, you can see two rows of neatly lined up chicken drumsticks above it.
And the best part? They’re raw.
“She’s elevating the fridge!”
Some commenters on the post made light of the situation, cracking jokes in the replies.
“She’s elevating the fridge!” one said.
“Hello salmonella, my old friend,” said another.
“I believe Chef Gordon Ramsey would call that cross contamination,” a third added.
“What a literal sh*tshow”
However, more were taking the matter seriously, criticizing both Meghan and the show for their lack of care about food safety.
“Why are they not in a tray? Yuk, all the chicken juices would be running all over that fridge shelf & down the back onto products below. Not great hygiene practices,” said one concerned commenter.
“Who is on her production team? There are people paid to pay attention to details like this. What a faux pas. I’ve been watching cooking shows for decades and the only time I see raw chicken in the fridge is still in the package, marinating, covered in a bowl. Marinating in a zip lock bag,” another person said.
“WHO puts raw uncovered chicken in the fridge, and not even in a container?!” said another.
“Can you imagine being the owner of that house and having to literally disinfect the whole place because of her??” a fourth person said.
“Are those raw chicken legs just placed on the glass shelving of the fridge? No plate? No cover? And raw meat should never be placed above vegetables! Raw meat should be at the bottom shelf of the fridge so its drippings won’t contaminate anything underneath it. What a literal sh*tshow,” said another commenter.
Is it really that bad?
Knowing that the house isn’t hers to begin with, it’s pretty likely that the chicken also wasn’t hers to lay out.
However, some are thinking the chicken isn’t raw, but instead parboiled.
“Everyone’s salad compartment is at the bottom of the fridge. And they are pre-cooked chicken legs,” said one commenter on X.
But, to whoever decided to lay the chicken legs out in rows, can you just put them on a tray or in a container in season two? Please?
