As food writer and television host Nigella Lawson so sensually put it: The purpose of food is not to impress, but to give pleasure. Paula, your food does neither. Are you trying to impress us with macaroni and cheese, wrapped in bacon, breaded and deep fried? Do you think that that concoction is pleasurable?
Or a hamburger, with a fried egg, a slice of bacon and glazed doughnuts instead of a bun? Who are you trying to fool?
More importantly, who are you trying to kill?
In your annoying Savannah drawl, you laugh about how much butter goes into every dish of yours, including your spaghetti sauce.
Butter is good. Deep frying frozen balls of it is not.
It amazes us that you have made millions, fooling people into thinking that your food is good Southern food.
If we're going to clog our arteries, we want to enjoy it.
Your smile, your laugh and your food disgust us.
Regards,
Everyone
