John McCain's campaign website features all the boring political stuff like policy and stances, personal statements and press coverage. But it also has juicier stuff -- literally! -- in the form of McCain family recipes.
Orrrrr, at least it did. Naughty Cindy McCain's Passion Fruit Mousse recipe was actually lifted straight from the Food Network website. Hey, Political Nanny cooks plenty from that exact same site -- and even passes it off as her own. But not in written form. And only to small groups of dinner guests.
The campaign has since scrubbed away the greasy bits of this campaign controversy from McCain's website, but not before Huffington Post captured the recipes in screen grabs, which you can view here (scroll down).
Oh, Cindy, nobody believes you chop your own Napa cabbage or whisk egg whites into stiff peaks with your own lovely hands. Which is why Political Nanny would have gone with a generic vinegary BBQ sauce and "secret" tips for a flakey apple pie crust (use cold butter) to fill the fluff portion of the website. Incidentally, McCain's campaign blames the lifted recipes on interns.
Other infringing recipes include Ahi Tuna with Napa Cabbage Salad (the McCain's call it "slaw") and Farfalle with Turkey Sausage, Peas and Mushrooms.
