Over at foodnetwork.com, vox publica has taken over the comments on an English peas recipe that bears the photo of Paula Deen.
Here's the recipe. You've probably written many, many such recipes, even without your own cooking show.
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans English peas
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
The top comment at the time of this writing was (purportedly) English and allegedly "gave up" when he couldn't make the metric conversion. The second commenter didn't have butter, so he substituted rohypnol.
The third said this: "My wife and I were in the mood for some warm buttered peas. However, when I took the butter out I was reminded of the butter scene in Last Tango in Paris. So we just did that. Never got to the peas."
The fourth commenter tried to open the peas with a blowtorch. The sixth said, "I wonder what this dish would taste like if I substituted canned corn instead of the peas? Probably nothing like English Peas."
The eighth commenter created a rhyme about shaking keys and Lebanese and a sneeze, all involving peas.
