Tim Kylie is one of the world's top chefs. He is best known for his signature dish, triple-dipped chip steak. This masterpiece contains over a pound of beef braised in duck fat. Another of Chef Kylie's more celebrated dishes is the Ham slaughter Supreme. This dish features ham stuffed sausage links presented in a basket made of braided bacon. While carnivores around the world roar for Chef Kylie's creations, it is unlikely that Chef Kylie will dine with them. As a longtime vegan, Chef Kylie would never dream of devouring one of his own dishes. Which type of irony is used

Answer:

Situational irony.

Step-by-step explanation:

Irony is saying one thing but meaning quite the opposite. It is mostly used for a humorous effect.

There are different types of ironies- dramatic irony, situational irony, verbal irony, etc. And the given example is situational irony.

Situational irony is when the situation is opposite to what is meant. Likewise, Chef Kylie may be a professional chef, proven by his signature dish, triple-dipped chip steak. This means he's good at cooking meat. But at the same time, he is a vegan, meaning his profession and personal lifestyle are opposite. It is ironic for he is a vegan who loves and is an expert in cooking meat.
