Nonsense. Her Cherokee ancestors would make the migration every year from Appalachia to the shores of New England to catch crabs for their famous crab meat omelettes. Of course they didn’t have any chickens until the pale faces came, so they had to catch wild turkeys and squeeze the eggs out of them too.
They also used those eggs to make the mayonnaise for their crab with tomato mayonaise dressing recipe that they would eat during the long trek back to the mountains. Some people think the french invented mayonnaise, but that’s a lie! They stole it from the indians just like the white men stole the land.
LOL!
I see the recipe doesn’t have the usual cognac or sherry that is used in many crab dishes. Perhaps because Warren’s family went ape sh*t whenever they had fire water. Which only adds authenticity to her story, you must admit.
