Download or read book How to Eat Like a Republican written by Susanne Grayson Townsend and published by Villard. This book was released on 2004-07-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is part cookbook, part how-to for non-Republicans, part payback (“Thanks, Mom, for all the swell tricks with Lipton Onion Soup Mix”), and part sheer revenge, as in for one horrifying night when the author was invited to dinner by a coven of Democrats under the pretext of eating a decent whole roasted prime tenderloin and was cruelly served a whole roasted baby tuna. Her date, a Republican fish-hater (a Republican redundancy, by the way, see Chapter 3, Fish), memorably reacted by getting dead drunk and passing out at the table with his face in the tuna. This capriciously organized collection of the kinds of homey recipes Republicans grow up on pays little regard to attribution, since, in the words of the author, “Nobody ever remembers where the recipe originally came from anyway.”
