    Do not try this at home.

    Do not try this at home.

    The Kardashian-Jenner clan clearly have grown up in a very privileged and luxurious setting and there are instances when this is made abundantly clear. None more so than in a viral clip from The Kardashians, where Kendall Jenner attempts to cut a cucumber.

    Yes, we're talking slicing a cucumber. Let's just say, medics will be wincing and hoping nobody copies the technique at home.

    @michelleeandrews I am screaming 💀 #thekardashians ♬ original sound - Michelle Andrews

    In the short clip from the newest episode of The Kardashians, Kendall declares she fancies a snack. Sitting and looking on at Kendall at the kitchen counter, her mum Kris Jenner asks: "do you want the chef to make you a snack?". Kendall responds saying she can make it herself and that it's just chopping some cucumber, which is easy. It is right?

    Kris encouragingly cheers "you go girl" before warning Kendall to be careful with the knife, to which the model admits "I'm kind of scared". Maybe not so easy as first thought, eh Kendall?

    In the video, Kendall can be seen holding a large knife just a little too close to the edge of the cucumber and a little too close to her hand as she chops. As one Twitter user put it: "the way Kendall Jenner cut that cucumber will haunt me."

    Well, as you can imagine, reaction to the clip has been wild: disbelief, awe and derision are all in there. Of course, there's been a host of people of Instagram and Tik Tok making their own videos of themselves chopping up a cucumber, either in the Kendall fashion or using another equally bizzare technique.

    Another Twitter user commenting on the clip, wrote: "Kendall cutting cucumber in the latest Kardashians ep is literally "tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich."

    While there's been a mix of reactions out there, a widely shared response to Kendall's cucumber cutting method called the whole debacle "tragic". Well, Kendall has finally responded to this, as can be seen in the tweet below.

    Now, we don't know whether she's agreeing that yes, her approach to slicing a cucumber is tragic, or maybe it's a sly dig at people losing their heads over the clip. Either way, she's owning the word.

    Having started her career in The Guardian newsroom working with an award-winning team, Amy's proud to have reported on a variety of topics, speaking to a range of voices and travelling far and wide to do so. From interviews on ski lifts to writing up breaking stories outside courtrooms, Amy is used to reporting from a range of locations (she’s even been known to type up a story in a tent).

    She also loves being active, spending time outdoors and travelling - with some of her favourite features she’s worked on combining all three. Cycling and eating her way round the Isle of Man, learning to sail on the Côte d'Azur and traversing the Caminito del Rey path in Spain are just some of her highlights.

    Covering a diverse range of subjects appeals to Amy. One minute she may be writing about her online styling session with Katie Holmes’ stylist and the next she’s transporting readers to the basketball courts of Haringey where she joined a group trying to lower knife crime in the capital.

    While at university, Amy was awarded The Media Society bursary. Following her stint at the Guardian, Amy worked at Google and as well as writing for Marie Claire, she regularly contributes interviews, features and articles to National Geographic Traveller, The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph, Stylist, Refinery29, Glorious Sport, Cycling Weekly and Rouleur.

    When she’s not writing, Amy can be found trying to get through her towering stack of books-to-read, cycling down at Herne Hill Velodrome or looking for the next place to eat and drink with friends.
