Elizabeth Warren, the fake Indian, has another problem with the Pow Wow Chow cookbook.
It seems that at least two of her “special recipes passed down through the Five Tribes families” are identical to ones from The New York Times [NYT] that were printed in 1979.
And they’re not just from any eatery either — the recipes came from Le Pavillon, the fabulous French restaurant that domin-ated le haute cuisine in Man-- hattan from 1941 to 1966.
Amazing, too, that Granny’s recipes for Crab With Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing, and Cold Omelets With Crab Meat, while no doubt popular along the Trail of Tears, were likewise tres populaire with Le Pavillon’s Beaut-iful People clientele.
As Pierre Franey, the Pav-illon chef and original author of the recipes put it, “The dish was a great favorite of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Cole Porter.”
Cole Porter was an Indian? Who knew?
Granny’s 1984 Crab With Tom-ato Mayonnaise Dressing is a word-for-word recreation of Franey’s 1979 recipe. And I do mean, word for word.
As for Cold Omelets With Crab Meat, it’s more of the same.
Franey: “Use a small omelet pan or, preferably, a seven-inch Teflon pan.”
Warren: “Use a small omelet pan or, preferably, a seven-inch Teflon pan.”
Franey: “Heat about one-half teaspoon butter in the pan.”
Warren: “Heat about one-half teaspoon butter in the pan.”
A call to the Warren campaign seeking comment on the uncanny similarities between the two recipes was not returned.
There are also some questions about a third recipe, “Herbed Tom-atoes.” That one includes a seldom-used phrase, “Add tomatoes cored-side down.”
We Googled that phrase and came upon part of a 1959 recipe from Better Homes & Gardens. By press time, we hadn’t found the actual recipe.
So let’s review. First she was an Indian, then she wasn’t. First she was poor in her childhood, then she became middle-class. She’s not rich, but she is worth up to $14.6 million, and her wigwam is assessed at $1.7 million.
Meanwhile, it appears Granny must have known that this fake-Indian cloud was hanging over her. On the page describing her induction last year into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, it says, “She proudly tells everyone ... she is ‘an Okie to my toes.’ ... ‘Being an Okie keeps me grounded.’ ”
I’m going to have to refer this question to Merle Haggard, who wrote “Okie from Muskogee.” Do real Okies like cold omelets, Merle? Do real Okies lift recipes calling for cognac from hoity-toity French restaurants in New York?
No? Well, la-de-da Harvard professors do
LOL! Well-placed post in a great thread. Warren/Churchill from the same tribe of socialists?
Has anyone asked who the cousin is? How distant are they? Does the cousin have any native-american blood? If not what are they doing publishing an authentic, passed down through the family, native-american cookbook? And really, “Pow Wow Chow”? Did someone run that past a tribal elder?
It's at least 900 miles to the ocean from there...
Not trying to be an apologist for Warren but didn't the Cherokees originate in Alabama and Georgia before they were removed to Oklahoma?
Alabama and Georgia both have shore lines. Where they would get the Velvetta and mayonnaise is an entirely different question as those parts of the south had severe "food desserts" and a dearth of 7-11 stores during that period.
My wife and I are adopting two children, the girl wants to keep her last name (Lindsey) as a middle name and take our last name as her last name, which is perfectly fine with us. I've been very explicit all along the process that she have no hyphen between Lindsey and her new last name.
Watch the court or someone in the birth certificate office screw it up. Illinois is a liberal state and liberals seem to love those hyphenated names. If they do, I'll have to go back to court to get her birth certificate changed.
I love it!
I hear they can get those repaired. Mebbe she's a retread.
You know, regular folk have to abide by every regulation the Government throws at Citizens and Business.
Progressives simply make stuff up, put it on their resume, and get an edge over everyone else (see Elizabeth and Obama). Then, those in positions of responsibility never vet the lies, and the media does not care.
Time to flush all Progressives out of Government
The Five Tribes: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan...
absolutely...
I was wondering the same thing
As I recall, one of the recipes called for using "imported wine". Obviously, on a shopping trip to the east coast, the tribe's traveling shopper would pick up both the wine and the crabs (and, hopefully, not those crabs).
