Paula Dean is doing her butter show on the Food Channel.

Pass the heart attack.

1. Yeah,,, I know...

I went "off" Paula Dean permanently when I saw her add hard boiled eggs to turkey gravy. I can handle good, authentic Southern cooking (I grew up on it!) even when it's unhealthy. But most of her "recipes" seem both unhealthy and unappealing to me.

[texanwitch]

2. My roomate loves her show.

I agree with you about the her food, it doesn't look good to me either.

[FuzzySlippers]

3. She put hard boiled eggs in gravy?!?

:wtf: I repeat. :wtf:

[Nicole]

12. The eggs aren't unusual in gravy

Authentic Southern cooking sometimes does include eggs in turkey gravy. We call it giblet gravy & it's pretty good.

[senseandsensibility]

30. I'm sure you're right

although my mother with South Carolina roots never made that. Maybe it's a regional thing? Anyway, since I HATE eggs, it didn't go over to well with me.

[Nicole]

35. It might be regional

I've had it at family gatherings in OK, MO, TX, AR & TN. A few restaurants as well. We never have roast turkey without it.

I'm sure for an egg hater it does sound repulsive. :)

[Shakespeare]

33. Second that. Both sides of my family are as southern as you can get...

...and we always have finely chopped hard boiled egg in the turkey gravy. It's fookin' good, too.

[Nicole]

36. I'm hungry for some right now.

[Shakespeare]

37. With cornbread dressing and mashed potatoes....

:cry: :cry:

I love Thanksgiving.

[SoyCat]

4. My mom calls her the butter b*tch. I don't have a television but if I did

I certainly wouldn't watch her show. The lengths to which that woman will go to try to make recipes artery clogging truly baffles the mind.
:crazy:

[ruiner4u]

5. I guess you wouldn't like the 2 fat ladies...

:(

[petronius]

6. Are those the two Scottish women who would basically add meat

to meat, with a side of meat, all topped off with butter, cream, or lard?

[ruiner4u]

7. god NO... *slap*

they would top it off with meat

[petronius]

8. LOL! I'm pretty sure they both died of heart disease, but I really

enjoyed that show. I still remember one where they cooked what must have been a 50 lb roast (unless it was a mastodon I can't imagine what animal they got it from); watching them try to lift it was side-splittingly hilarious. And then there was a kidney episode which I swear was "start with 24 beef kidneys - serves 2."

:rofl:

[Kutjara]

24. Only one of them is dead.

Jennifer Patterson died a couple of years ago, but her chef partner Clarissa Dickson-Wright (full name Clarissa Theresa Philomena Aileen Mary Josephine Agnes Elsie Trilby Louise Esmerelda Dickson-Wright) is still very much alive and bringing the glories of non-diet, robust, artery-clogging cuisine to those equipped to appreciate it. Long may she wave.

By the way, Clarissa is not just a bon-viveur. If you want to read about a woman who has made quite a few strides of her own, read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarissa_Dickson-Wright

[petronius]

25. Thanks for the link! You're right - she's far more than

a largish woman with a passion for unusual and meaty ingredients. (It looks like I was wrong about Paterson, too; she died of lung cancer, not heart disease.)

27. Paula Deen's cooking has that wonderful, down-homey feel.

She comes across as a warm and loving wife and mother, and her show is a delight and a comfort.

[grasswire]

9. who the hell are those "butter wranglers"?

I swear she picked them up at the local Chippendale's. The one with the tattoo said he used to be a dancer, so there ya go.

[leftofthedial]

10. isn't every episode of Paula Deen a butter show?

[texanwitch]

11. I didn't watch to much of the show but I think this was an extra butter

show.

[leftofthedial]

14. ohhh! EXTRA butter.

mmmmmmmm.

[Nicole]

13. I think she must

own stock in a butter company! :rofl:

[texanwitch]

15. I think she owns the butter company, that way she gets all the butter

she wants for free.

[Nicole]

16. Good point

:)

[texanwitch]

17. Ever see the show Paula did making hotdogs.

She put bacon and lard on the hotdogs.

[Nicole]

18. No, I missed that one

Just reading it makes me wanna :puke:

[texanwitch]

19. She took a big spoon full of lard and put right on the hotdog and then

ate it.

[Nicole]

20. EEEEEWWWW

That woman is gonna kill herself eating stuff like that. I would hate to see her bad cholesterol numbers..

[texanwitch]

21. That is the only show that I can remember.

I think she fried the hotdogs in butter also.:rofl:

[Nicole]

22. Fried in butter?

Of course she would. :rofl:

[texanwitch]

23. There are photos here of the hotdog.

31. Are those pictures with the lard real?

My husband says they're fake. Now I wouldn't put anything past her, but this IS a little over the top.

[Left Is Write]

38. It's not lard.

[BuddhaGirl]

34. did you see her European show??

she at a god-awful huge french fry sandwich in London - yuck!

I thought she acted like a bit of a hick while in Europe!

[Left Is Write]

29. It was not lard. It was cole slaw.

[electron_blue]

26. I call her the queen of Mayo, since that seems to be a 'secret ingredient'

in a lot of her recipes.

To be fair, not everything of hers is high fat. She has some good 'salads' with different kinds of cabbage made with vinegars and just a little oil. I think her mission is 'fast and easy' though, using convenience foods whenever possible. My mom gave me 2 of her cookbooks. There are some good recipes in there, but yeah, a lot of high fat stuff.

[Left Is Write]

28. Her husband Michael loves mayo.

That may influence her use of it.

[judaspriestess]

32. I love Paula Dean

she's got a corny ass sense of humor but I like watchin her make good ol southern cooking. and I'm also partial to her because she used a recipe from San Antonio (my hometown) to make DELICIOUS brisket. wait till she tastes a brisket taco with guacamole with those fabulous homemade flour tortillas, off the hook in SA!!!!!!! sniffle, I'm getting home sick.
