Holiday Cooking Felonies

I’ve seen some cooking shows this month that have led me to wonder – how do some cooks survive the holidays? What is left when you take a piece of nature’s bounty – bread it (with white flour treated with aluminum so as not to clump) egg, and special seasoning (can you say “msg”?) deepfry it in olive oil (at which time it becomes rancid from being exposed to high heat) in a nonstick pan (like some teflon with your dinner?) pour sauce over it (made with a list of ingredients a mile long – just how many ways ARE there to say “msg”? and serve with a side of something else equally violated?

I think an x rating is in order – definitely a food assault.

If you find yourself looking at something that’s been cooked and tweeked beyond recognition and you have to ask “What IS that?”, don’t eat it!!
