McCains Plagiarize Family Recipes [Dan Collins]

From the Food Network (the multi-talented Giada de Laurentis, among others):

So much of the effect is in the presentation! 

Now, this is a terrible travesty, of course, but given his Irish roots, it is perhaps understandable that he would not wish to inflict his ancestral cuisine on anyone.

    Irish cookbook:

    Ingredients: Whatever.

    Procedure: Boil until gray.

  2. McGehee says:

    Scottish cooking: It’s no good unless it’s cooked inside a sheep’s stomach.

    In Heaven:

    The government is Swiss
    The police are English
    The cars are German
    The food is Italian
    The women are French

    In Hell:

    The government is Italian
    The police are German
    The cars are French
    The food is English
    The women are Swiss

    Well maybe they stole the recipe from McCain. You never know. I was watching that southern lady {whose name escapes me} making a pecan pie one day and was stunned to find out she had stole my mother’s recipe. But then again there are only so many ways to make a pecan pie.

  5. JD says:

    Better Half loves Giada’s show, and I encourage that.

  6. DarthRove says:

    Same here, JD. Although Giada and hubby are another example of the Billy Joel/Christie Brinkley syndrome.

  7. I’m a Sandra Lee guy. Smaller teeth, and semi-home made doesn’t bother me a bit.

  8. Techie says:

    Sandra-lee is a crime against the kitchen.

    Watch Mario or hell, even Rachael. You’ll learn something.

  9. I don’t want to learn anything, I want to look at boobs.

  10. N. O'Brain says:

    Way OT, but, darn, doesn’t this sound like your typical blind leftist:

    Mole Man……

  11. Ouroboros says:

    Po (Typical)White Trash Cookbook

    Ingredients: Whatever

    Procedure: Pan fry in a half inch of oil in an old cast iron skillet. Mmmmmmm

    Thats good eatin’..

  12. TaiChiWawa says:

    “I don’t want to learn anything, I want to look at boobs.”

    And maybe poach a tasty concoction.

  13. Old Texas Turkey says:

    mmmm Giada.

    i would watch Sandra Lee more if she hired Giada;s wadrobe-ist.

  14. sashal says:

    the only original recipe on McCain website is the recipe for disaster:

    1 cup McCrap
    1 cup McTruth
    2 cup McDementia
    2 Tsp McWars

    Mix together with McTORTURE
    Poor over your McFish and McDOH-Nuts
    Place into a Mc666 preheated oven
    Cook for a McMinute and
    McServe it fresh to your McLobbyst cronies

    (plagiarized from one of the comments on Josh’s site)

  15. Jim in KC says:

    I think that’s why someone suggested Mario, LMC.

    (I kid!)

  16. SarahW says:

    NO NO, you must hate Giada, I command it. Or at least fear her shark teeth.

  17. JD says:

    Sandra Lee gives Giada a run for her money, no doubt.

  18. Smirky McChimp says:

    “Irish cookbook:

    Ingredients: Whatever.

    Procedure: Boil until gray.”

    It’s not really cuisine. It’s Pennance.

  19. JD says:

    Mario does have man boobs.

  20. SarahW says:

    Par-meee-jiaaaahhhhno Ray-geeee—iahhhhnoh

  21. Old Texas Turkey says:

    Sure does JD. Sandra/Giada Milkshakes all around.

    Angela Merkel could give them both a run tho :) (check out Ace)

  22. SarahW says:

    Sandra Lee puts plastic starfish in tasteful fishnet curtains. I like her but am suspicious of COCKTAIL TIME.

  23. SarahW says:

    Her recipes are good time savers, but there is an abundance of coolwhip.

  24. Techie says:

    Go read “Heat” by Bill Buford and you will realize that Mario Batali is a god amongst men.

  25. Dan Collins says:

    Christ, I go into a diabetic coma just watching Sandra Lee open packets. She’s gotta be bulemic to keep that body if she eats that stuff.

  26. Techie says:

    Sandra Lee is someone who has a cooking show and instructed her viewers with a straight face to put non-stick spray on Strawberry Pop-tarts, cover them with mini-marshmellows, back them into some sort of a sandwich, then cover with “Cool Whip” and a maraschino cherry. Then she poured half a bottle of Absolut Citron into a pitcher of BerryBlue Kool-Aid and called it her Summer Cooler.

    I couldn’t avert my eyes.

  27. SarahW says:

    Gotta give her this: no stinting on the food coloring.

  28. I know, isn’t it wonderful?

  29. Clambake!!!!!

    Can’t… look… away…

  30. Blitz says:

    I prefer Alton Browns’ “Good Eats”

    WHAT??….why are y’all lookin at me like that?

    OH…well, no but NTTAWWT. I just like to laugh while learning to cook..

  31. SarahW says:

    I remember being rather mortified on Sandra Lee’s behalf when she decided to celebrate Kwanzaa with a very unfortunate cake.
    I don’t think Hannukah fared much better. (Think Blue food coloring. Lots and lots. and those BB things).

    Mother Africa, well, got this tragic acorn and CORN NUT! garnished disaster. several large red and green candles jammed near the oozing canned apple piefilling orifice of a cocoa-ed-up-canned-frosting smeared bundtcake. Oh, and some popcorn here and there.

  32. SarahW says:

    Oh lordy there’s a picture of it at Food Network.

    CORN NUTS

  33. SarahW says:

    And, yeah, I forgot that was angel food cake. With corn nuts.

  34. SarahW says:

    Oh no. BwahahahaHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAH.

    SL very enthusiastic about this Christmas tree…

  35. Ardsgaine says:

    What?! This is serious! You mean the McCains lied about something so trivial and then tried to cover it…

    oooooo…. nice boobs!

    (They don’t call Mr. Collins “Rove’s Love Child” for nothing) ;)

  36. SGT Ted says:

    If his wife poaching some recipes is all they got on McCain, well he is Mr Ethics compared to Barak Rezko-Wright Obama and Hillary Conspire-to-Deny-a-sitting-President-his-Constitutional-Rights *inhaaale* Whitewater-Hsu Clinton.

    I mean, c’mon.

  37. Pablo says:

    Oh lordy there’s a picture of it at Food Network.

    That’s a pretty tough cake recipe. Step one: buy a cake. Paula Deen would slap the shit outta her and then smear her with lard.

  38. Dan Collins says:

    That idea kind of turns you on, huh, Pablo?

  39. Mikey NTH says:

    Irish Seven Course Meal
    1 potato, boiled.
    6 bottles of Guiness

    Enjoy!

    I just love the comments over at the Huffpo. The article states that the McCain campaign is blaming it on an unpaid staffer. But the Huffpo loons are scoffing at that excuse… :”That Cindy McCain is a liar and is personally responsible for this debacle”. And yet, a few short weeks ago, when the Obamessiah’s senior economic advisor was telling the Canadians that Obama didn’t really mean all the stuff he was saying about deep-sixing NAFTA/CAFTA, etc… well, it was all just the fault of a low level staffer, wasn’t it? Nothing to blame dear Obama for, just another manufactured Rethuglican outrage. Let’s recap: Recipes vs. Economic policy. As Glenn Reynolds would say, Heh.
