But viewers were upset when some contestants used Chinese style fillings, while others went for Indian and even American versions.

Taking to Twitter once again, viewers of the show ranted in anger, with one enraged viewer tweeting, ‘I am SO offended by tonight’s #GBBO So ignorant and racist. You’d think in the age, and climate, they’d do better.

‘It not only insulted us Japanese, they’ve insulted the Chinese, and everyone’s intelligence.’

‘Why is everyone cooking Chinese on Japanese week? This is so rude/racist #gbbo.’ added another.

‘”It’s JAPANESE week, people. Not CHINESE Week. #GBBO,”‘ pointed out another fan of the show.
