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
Back in the 1600s it was quite the rage in Europe to hire on an American Indian butler/doorman.
i had a yakburger in Bloomington Indiana (Note, there are three Tibetan restaurants in America. Two are in Bloomington).
My parents told me I was part of a Jewish tribe in Brooklyn called the Sioux.
And there is that plagiarism thing, common to both.
Someone needs to review the her academic research/articles that have been published(if any) for plagerism.
7. They are both far left libs, leftist, socialists, Demo-Rats, progressives, commies (but I repeat myself) and as such, are immune from having their corruption exposed by the equally, corrupt and biased, Lame Stream Media, thus ain't nuttin' gonna come of this.
And that as (for those who are old enough to remember) Baretta used to say, "you can take to the bank!"
One of those, the Snow Lion, is owned by the Dalai Lama’s brother. The Dalai Lama visits Bloomington regularly.
Nice campus, but we call it The People’s Republic of Bloomington.
Substitute for crawdads.
Those are funny. Even the 5-star reviews are sarcastically savage.
“What would a Cherokee Indian from Oklahoma do with a Crab recipe?
It’s at least 900 miles to the ocean from there...”
I was wondering the same thing
And who hyphenates Tom-atoes there? I majored in English, long ago, and the correct hyphenation would be To-ma-toes.
Pierre Franey plagiarized the recipe from Warren's Granny! Probably sneaked around in Oklahoma to find it! (Oklahoma, being so close to the ocean and all, is famous for its seafood recipes, everybody knows that!)
Shame on Franey!!
Check the US Census. It often includes such info. It's probably more accurate that the memories of aging relatives anyway.
I got tears in my eyes. I am literally LMAO. I’m saving this page. It will surely be wiped.
So they ensured their stagecoaches had plenty of frozen crab meat, canned tomatoes, 7-inch teflon pans, etc.
So she steals and lies.....does that mean we can’t trust her?.....I’m waiting for the tearful confession where she tells everyone how much she cares......
LOL.
Ah yes well for some laughs you have to read Mark Steyn about that point. It comes about half way down the article. http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/obama-354827-ever-white.html
