...on the blade of a hoe.
It has taken on a whole new meaning since then.

It was innocently called a "hoe cake", as they were possibly cooked by workers...
- Thread starter michael-in-phoenix
- Start date
Just to clarify....
I am NOT offended by the term "hoecake" or the implications of the first few letters... I eat pasta puttanesca all the time, and the name does not concern me...
I had never heard of such a thing and figured out it was some kind of southern dish when I saw her cooking it...
I was just incredulous that any producer would let any tv person repeat a word so many times, I mean, I could have been plotzed in the first 2 minutes of the segment if I had been drinking a shot for every time she said it!
ANYWAY...
back to our regular programming...

The rapturous eye-rolling tastings that started on the food channel...
a few years back when "celebrities and personalities" began taking over from the actual chefs, was one of the really annoying things that contributed to me stopping watching Food Channel programming. I understand that people can have a reaction to good food, but when they start mugging for the camera BEFORE the food hits the tongue, that's when it becomes low-brow entertainment and not educational. Watch most of them when they taste, they start the "Mutley Dog Biscuit Routine" before the food even goes into the mouth sometimes.

A priceless moment on the old Galloping Gourmet was the reaction of...
...one of the gals Graham Kerr pulled from the audience to sit with him and eat, when she put the first bite of food in her mouth and cringed and contorted her face in agony.
Didn't happen often, but it did happen. Great TV.
