It Looks Like Fauxcahontas Plagiarized Her 'Pow Wow Chow' Recipes

Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart.com:

Howie Carr released evidence that appears to confirm Ms. Warren may have plagiarized at least three of the five recipes she submitted to the 1984 Pow Wow Chow cookbook edited by her cousin Candy Rowsey.

Two of the possibly plagiarized recipes, said in the Pow Wow Chow cookbook to have been passed down through generations of Oklahoma Native American members of the Cherokee tribe, are described in a New York Times News Service story as originating at Le Pavilion, a fabulously expensive French restaurant in Manhattan. . . .

The two recipes, "Cold Omelets with Crab Meat" and "Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing," appear in an article titled “Cold Omelets with Crab Meat,” written by Pierre Franey of the New York Times News Service that was published in the August 22, 1979 edition of the Virgin Islands Daily News . . . .

Leahy goes on to say that particular recipe is a word-for-word copy, with one exception: "Ms. Warren says, 'Let cook until firm and lightly brown . . .' and Mr. Franey says 'Let cook until firm and lightly browned . . . ."

Oh, my. When people are willing to lie that easily for little or no reason, they'll lie about anything. Someone should start reviewing her academic papers.

One more thing: Didn't anyone consider the threshold question before that book was published? Cherokees ate cold omelets with crab meat?

I thought Cherokees ate Italian crab bruschetta.

Thanks to @JammieWF.

Remember that scene in Dances With Wolves where Kevin Costner's character sat down with the Indians to a meal of Quenelles de Brochet with Seafood Risotto and Lobster Foam, paired with a nice bottle of slightly chilled Meursault-Perrières?
