A Come Dine With Me contestant once purposely served a meat product to one of their vegetarian guests after getting fed up with making alternative options.
And as you can imagine, it made for some pretty uncomfortable viewing. Take a look:
The Channel 4 cooking show has graced our screens since 2005, giving us many memorable moments - including that iconic line 'You won Jane'.

Come Dine With Me has also served up many bitter spats and arguments over the last 19 years, but perhaps this incident stands firm as one of the most uncomfortable and controversial.
In a throwback episode from season 20 of the show, host Christian Woodall from Walsall came to blows with veggie Georgina, after telling her that he's 'strictly carnivorous' and 'basically only eats meat' just minutes after they met.
For starters, Christian served up a prawn cocktail for the rest of his guests, and managed to rustle up a veggie alternative for Georgina.
Pointing to a pretty bleak-looking plate of mozzarella and tomatoes, he said: "It looks alright but I don't really care," adding that Georgina would be 'cheap to take out' because she only eats veg and cheese.

Or so Christian thought.
Next up, Christian served a 'vegetarian' pasta bake, which he went on to coat heavily in parmesan cheese.
But the host obviously didn't realise that parmesan contains meat - meaning it isn't actually suitable for veggies.

The traditional way of making parmesan begins like any other - with cow's milk. However, after heating, a product called rennet is added to curdle the mixture.
Rennet is an enzyme found in the stomach lining of calves and goats.
When Georgina points this out, Christian heads back into the kitchen muttering: "What does the bloody girl want, maybe I should put some meat on it as well for her."

As the host brings the plate back to the table, Georgina could be seen staring at the dish as she noticed some flakes of parmesan.
Unsurprising, considering Christian had doused the entire casserole dish in parmesan.
Explaining that she wasn't going to eat it, one of the other guests asked Georgina if she would like some of their roast potatoes instead.
Not realising the spuds were roasted in goose fat, Georgina transferred some onto her own plate.

Rather than giving her a heads up beforehand, Christian then revealed how the potatoes were cooked after she'd eaten them, much to Georgina's horror.
"If you want to go hungry then go hungry, I don't really care," he said.
"You're getting right on my wick to be honest. I think you've been very rude, you haven't enjoyed anything, you're too fussy to please.
"To be honest I couldn't care less whether you ate it or didn't eat it."
Georgina ended up in tears following his comments, and decided to score Christian with just one point for his 'efforts'.
At the time, people were utterly horrified, especially fellow veggies.
One said: "Apparently vegetarians are expected to like all vegetarian food and have no dislikes," while another joked: "The perfect host, sensitive to other's needs."
Others, though, thought the episode was TV gold and couldn't wait to re-watch it.
