Brooklyn Beckham Goes Viral For Bizarre Step In Pasta Recipe
Nepo baby chef Brooklyn Beckham has seemingly ruffled the feathers of online foodies once again, this time with his ~uniquely earthy~ pasta-cooking method.
In his most recent culinary creation, which has clocked more than 1.5 million views at the time of writing, Brooklyn showed us his take on tomato pasta featuring his Cloud23 hot sauce.
While the pasta itself looked scrumdiddlyumptious, punters were taken aback by his pasta-cooking method.

In his video, Brooklyn rawdogged his pasta water, using straight-up ocean water from wherever his boat is docked.
Immediately, foodies took to the photographer-turned-chef’s comments, pointing out their concerns with his use of ocean water.
“Pasta water with a hint of burnt boat fuel, please, sir,” one person commented, with another adding, “And a splash of engine oil”.
“Gross. Takes seawater from the engine where oil and chemicals leak through. Boiling seawater doesn’t kill chemical pollutants, heavy metals, and all toxins,” another penned.
“As an Italian, I’m pretty sure that seawater is the best way to spend all the next day in the bathroom,” wrote a third.
Can you safely boil pasta in seawater?
While the concept of cooking pasta in seawater may be bizarre, online forums of people who claim to frequently sail have admitted to using seawater for cooking.
However, according to a 2006 report by Kristen M.Kusek, “one drop of seawater contains about 1 million bacteria”.
“Of these, upwards of 10,000 are called vibrios, a diverse group of naturally occurring microbes responsible for 95 per cent of all seafood-related deaths,” Kusek wrote in her report titled The Oceans Are Filled With Microbes. Some Are Nasty.
This isn’t the first time that Brooklyn has been dragged for his chefcapades. Throughout the height of his online cooking journey, the bloke was roasted for using a wine cork in his dish and dishing up fettuccine alfredo without fettuccine.
