The ex-wife of energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens ​told her African-American chef to whip up “black people food” ​— describing her ideal menu as fried chicken, BBQ ribs and corn bread — for the guests at her $2,000-a-night Nevada ranch, a lawsuit charges.

So are we supposed to be offended when they ask for “Italian Food”?

“Spanish Food”?
“Mexican Food”?

Commie snowflakes are going to be dying of aneurysms by the thousands over the next 8 years because PC is out the window.

Get used to blunt talk snowflakes!

Oh my gosh I love hush puppies but have not had any for many many years. My grandmother would cook all of those things which I remember fondly.

[a fool in paradise]

I don’t know about Oklahoma (where Pickens is from) or where his ex-wife is from (they divorced in 2012, she hired this chef in 2014, bringing his name into this is phony scandal because he has no ties to it, she was married to another tycoon in 2000), anyway in Texas EVERYONE eats some cornbread, barbecue, and fried chicken, even MILLIONAIRES.

I saw a movie a while back called “Soul Food”. My mouth was watering.

Not crazy about turnip greens. Kale is so-so. I love most fresh vegetables grown in the area where I was raised in VA. If not for my love of a good, rare steak I would be a vegetarian.

I draw the line with green peas. Spent many a night locking horns with my parents. My stubbornness is unmatched. :-) I held out & won each time.

I am a pepper person. I even put it on my cantaloupe and in my tomato juice. I use very little salt.

Getting hungry just thinking about it

Cooking Crack IS illegal...

The Army hospital at which I work has a yearly African American heritage observance.

I used to work at a vocational-technical school in Oklahoma City that had a culinary program at one campus. The program director was a black woman with a history in restaurant management who would lead the students in devising the Black History menu every February. If you wanted to eat there that day, you had to get in a reservation for one of three different seatings they would do. It wasn't "black" food, it was just good country food like you listed plus sweet potato pie. You could order a take-home pie if you got lucky enough to be drawn.

Let me tell you my story about green peas. I thought I did not like them until the 2nd or 3rd grade. My teacher talked me into just trying a spoon full. I did and loved them. I grew up on a MS farm and grew most of our food and some fruit. We grew sweet potatoes, too but not very much. One of my dad's relatives was a sp farmer so we bought them from him by the bushel baskets. One of my mom's uncles grew fruit so we bought fruit from him. Now, they are all gone and I only have my precious memories. The wife of a cousin died the last day of 2016. Her funeral is tomorrow. We will really miss her since she was a wonderful Christian lady who did my mom's genealogy. She touched many lives. I told someone on here a few days before her death that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. She had a massive heart attack at home. Very, very unexpected. We just never know. God bless.

Fair point

Madeleine Pickens has been extremely generous to the military in allowing them special privileges at her exclusive golf course in San Diego. She is a great lady.

She’s a philanthropist that’s done a great deal for the US military, military working dogs, and America’s wild mustangs- she’s given and raised millions.

In appreciation for our servicemen and women, the Del Mar Club partners with many military organizations and sponsors exciting events & fundraisers throughout the year. Some of our past events have benefited organizations including the USO, Freedom is Not Free/Wounded Warrior Foundation, SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation, The Blue Angels, The Flying Leathernecks, and many others.

You are an ignorant fool.

OK, I can believe that. Why did T Boone cut her loose?

I remember when we called it “soul food” and it was quite acceptable to cook it, like it, eat it. If I had a Chef (fat chance) I think it would be perfectly acceptable to ask for soul food, just as it would be acceptable to ask for Mexican food, Chinese food, Italian food, etc. Leslie Uggams put out a heck of a cookbook years back, and to my great regret I lost it during one of my moves. The macaroni and cheese recipe she had in there was out of this world. That black Chef is just looking to make a fast buck instead of soul food.

Kenyon Grist Mill in RI have been making ground corn used in cornbread since 1696. Lots of people raised chickens in RI. New Englanders battered and fried chicken just like they battered and fried fish. The spices later added were contributions made by Southerners.

He was probably offended by a suggestion that he prepare instant grits, rather than regular grits. No self-respecting . . . .

Ship of ignorant fools, all of you!!

She has raised tens of millions of dollars for vets and opens up her course to many stationed in SD on a regular basis and comps the entire bill. She is the daughter of a British oil executive and golf enthusiast who along with her father laid out the first golf course in Iraq.

SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation 5th Annual Golf Tournament & Dinner Gala
Apr 30, 2016

Philanthropist Madeleine Pickens- Event Co-Chair.

Held at her Del Mar Country Club- will host the fourth annual fundraiser to benefit the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Family Foundation on Saturday, April 30, 2016. This event will feature a Scramble Golf Tournament followed by a cocktail reception, a gala dinner, and live and silent auctions, with presentations by a number of distinguished guests who will thank the Navy SEALs and their families for their military service, and honor our fallen heroes. Last year’s event hosted over 360 guests and raised more than $1 million.

Why condemn and criticize a great woman that you’ve never met.

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

IDK, and it’s really none of our business- she was his fourth.

Madeleine was living most of the time in Cali and Nevada.
T is for Texas -and he was spending most of his time there.
