The Most Annoying Article....Ever

While perusing various news sites this Monday morning, I came across an article from boston.com, the website of the Boston Globe. It discusses the role of the inhabitants of Julia Child's former home in Cambridge. What follows is shocking and obnoxious and I'm sure Julia Child is rolling in her grave: these residents are self-proclaimed non-foodies and vegetarians. I could think of nothing worse than animal activists who only take a utilitarian approach to food living in Julia Child's former home.

It's well-known that Child's husband bought and furnished this extremely elaborate kitchen for her and it pains me to think that those who are its caretakers now know not how to use most of the appliances and tools in it nor do they really care to. Also, they will most likely never get the chance: the militant absence of meat and fish renders a lot of Child's kitchen useless. Furthermore, its an insult to the legacy of Julia Child- as she certainly appreciated all fruits of the earth and was not a health freak. Animal products were a staple of her cooking from offal to stock to premium cuts. I hate this couple. Enjoy your lettuce.
