Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has shared some advice when it comes to ordering at restaurants.
And when the British restauranteur speaks about food, you should probably listen.
Ramsay has revealed what you should avoid on the menu when you're deciding what to eat, and explained why it's the right thing to swerve it.

Good old Gordon has given us a number of tips over the years, whether it be the right time to serve Christmas dinner or pointing out other red flags to look out for when you're eyeing up a meal.
Ramsay, who admitted that his TV 'persona' is just him not 'giving a s***', has overcome a lot in the past year, having suffered a potentially horrific bike accident last summer.
He sent an urgent warning out to other bike riders, asking them to 'WEAR A HELMET' at all costs, as his life was saved due to him doing so.

Thankfully, we've still got Ramsay around, and he can continue to drop pearls of wisdom about the fine art of running a restaurant.
One of his major tips was the things to look out for that might let you know that the food you're getting may not be up to standards.
The restaurateur previously spoke about his three golden rules for eating in a restaurant, telling diners they ought to be wary of any place which threw around 'suspicious boasts' about the quality of their food.

Buzzwords like 'famous' or 'best in the country' without any further evidence to back them up set the chef's alarm bells ringing as it always made him wonder: "Who said that? Who named that?"
However, Ramsay's top tip was all about the one thing you shouldn't pick off the menu when the waiter comes up and asks you to place your order.
It turns out that the dish in question is pretty much anything off the specials board, particularly if it looks like there's a lot of options on there.
He said: "Specials are there to disappear throughout the evening. When they list 10 specials that's not special."

Advice worth listening to: if the specials board is too extensive then it's basically just another menu.

The chef also had a special trick to getting the best bottles of wine for a bargain price, saying you should ask for the 'bin end' list, which is comprised of bottles with scratched labels or vintages that haven't sold well.
He suggested that you ask for a bottle of whatever is recommended for no more than $30 (£24), as apparently that can be a secret way of getting an underappreciated tipple to your table without it costing too much.
