New York Times Covers Liberal Culture War Over Fire Spoon Eggs
Newsbusters ^ | March 28, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

So what is driving liberals into an insane rage nowadays? The easy answer is President Donald Trump. However the more discerning among you would know that the subject of fire spoon eggs has caused an almost inconsolable rift among liberals with each side raging angrily at the other.

The chronicler of this liberal civil war is one New York Times writer named Kim Severson whom we last met in 2014 writing up the obituary of Chick-fil-A founder, S. Truett Cathy, by describing him as a "symbol of intolerance." Now she is covering the liberal cultural war over fire spoon eggs. Her latest dispatch from that front appeared in the Times on Wednesday, What’s Cooking in That Egg Spoon? A Bite-Size Culture War:

I think I am going to cook up some of those fire spoon eggs but instead of a $250 spoon, my conscience will be clear by using a cheap ladle (See "Odd Couple" movie for the spoon-ladle reference).

The Times refused to print my comment. Not that there was anything wrong with it just that it suggested I wasn’t a loon like Alice Waters.

“The conflict between them, he tells Gulliver, began years ago, when the emperor’s grandfather, then in command of the country, commanded all Lilliputians to break their eggs on the small end first. He made this decision after breaking an egg in the old way, large end first, and cutting his finger.”

Leftists sure do get their panties in a twist over the weirdest things.

Did Anthony Bourdain actiually call a woman “Pol Pot in a mu mu” because she cooked some food over an open fire?

Liberals are nutty.

You really found something here. What came first, the chicken or the egg has a new reveal. Or, I guess it could be a new revile. Liberal mental disorder, same as it ever was...

If you have an open hearth in your kitchen with a specially made spoon just for cooking eggs, we all know how you vote.

When I read the headline I thought the author must have had a stroke in the middle of writing it. Then after reading the article I think I’m the one who had a stroke. That worked up over a tiny frying pan with a long handle? Yikes, what petty people.

A $250 big spoon. These people are so gullible. 😁😁

Don’t use a plastic spoon.

Take my word for it.

And when Gulliver defeated the navy of Lilliput’s enemy Blefescu, the king demanded the forcible return of the Big-Endian exiles who had fled to Blefescu so that they might break their eggs in the traditional way.

You ever get the impression some people have WAY too much time on their hands? I have better and more important things to do with my time and my life than worry about who is cooking an egg in what manner or whether that might offend somebody else.

I find it rich when Anthony Bourdain calls someone an elitist.

Cook your eggs any way you choose. Ignore the busybodies.

...but in another way, I want young boys to hold that spoon, too. I want them to feel the sense of the fire and the closeness to the simplicity of it. It helps you become sensitive. We are hoping men become sensitive and we find each other in that place.

We used to call that cooking weenies over a campfire. I don't know a single boy who didn't do it, including one in a wheelchair. Not too many of us were motivated by any mystical Earth Mother crap, though.

Anthony Bourdain goes out of his way to not criticize communist regimes, so his use of Pol Pot as an insult is rather strange.

What makes a woman who hand forges fire spoons & cooks eggs over an open fire resemble in any way the late Cambodian genocidal madman?

Before reading the article, I thought `fire spoon eggs’ were a specialty of Chick Fil-A, which would explain all the liberal outrage.

This sounds like something French Cooks would go on strike about, have noisy public marches too!

I've read some of Bourdain's books, before I found out that he's a loon himself, probably from abusing heroin that he bought with the money he got from mugging little old ladies in NYC (pre-"Kitchen Confidential" days).

Yes, he trashed Waters before he praised Waters.

Spoon eggs? Sure, why not? But isn't a frying pan just a extra large version of a spoon?

Although it’s absurd that the left is enraged about something like this, I’m glad they’re going after each other over it!
