The gist of this article is that this lady wrote a book based entirely on the results of a Google search and no further research on the subject she was looking to cover, but only on the results of the search. Lame.

To me, it looks and smells more like vomit.

And MSG has NO “flavor” at all...it is a flavor enhancer and also gives many people what was once called CHINESE RESTAURANT SYNDROME....though it’s really sesame seed oil that was the cause.

The woman is a complete moron and wrote a book filled with LIES and specious crap.

The sriracha guy is the same one that was/is in trouble with his plant down in California. I thought it was just fines due to a bogus air-quality matter. (Welcome to liberal America). But it sounds like it may be more of a matter of him not owning up to his side of the bargain.

I suppose I could research more, but...

He was to pay $250 grand a year instead of taxes and permits, but then stopped paying due to the air-quality charges. Although the air-quality doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore.

I make something similar to hummus but I use garbanzo beans.

Carrots are believed to have originated in Afghanistan. Would you call them Afghan food. Tomatoes are of New World origin. Would you call Marinara sauce American? Corn originated in America are Mamaliga and Polenta American?

My Hummous and Falafel are Israeli.

Revisionist history and now, NOW revisionist FOOD?

Ditto. The major spice introduced by the author is BS.

Potatoes are from the Americas, so I guess that EVERY potato dish is American, according to her? LOL

And I'm still hung up re the stupid curry and sirracha crap; especially the latter, since almost NOBODY ever heard of it, let alone had tasted it, until the '90s.

Yes...she's a FRAUD and her book might just as well be about "GLOBAL WARMING", since both are lies and a HOAXES !

I could go on and on and on about "typical American foods" like hot dogs, which aren't American at all.

Obviously not, nor the cookbook put out by Lord & Taylor, in the 1860s, nor the Gold Medal one, put out only slightly later.

I think that IF her book ever appears on Amazon, we should all write reviews. ;^)

I thought conservatives liked Siracha and Dems wanted to kick it out of the country?

Molasses was pretty important commodity; not sure if it qualifies as a flavor.

Sirracha? How many American recipes call for that, or curry powder, for that matter?

At the moment, Sriracha is hot, at least if you happen upon the right drive-thru.

Can't say that I'd ever heard of it, however, until quite recently, at one of those drive-thrus (I ordered something else).

"First, you get yourself a stewed moose..."



Well, they should be a bit easier to find at this festive time of year, when everyone goes around wishing each other "Blurry Blitzed-Moose!"
