QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – In a disgusting display of culinary cluelessness, Joey de Leon of the “EAT” noontime show has once again proven that his grasp on taste extends no further than the confines of his food-centric program.

When contestants were asked to name things people hang around their necks, de Leon chimed in with, “Lubid, lubid!” (a rope, a rope). Clearly, he’s dishing out a different kind of ‘rope soup’ that only he can stomach.

Obviously, de Leon was referring to a noose, a loop with a running knot, tightening as the rope or wire is pulled and is typically used to hang people or trap animals. It has also become a symbol of slavery.

Maybe he’s just concocting a new recipe for a hangman’s lunchbox? While viewers were left hanging in disbelief, we can only hope that de Leon’s next dish will be a little less… dark.

Will MTRCB summon de Leon and mete him with the proper punishment?

Paging Lala Sotto!
