  Michael Brown -stale, underdone brownie not our dessert of choice

BrownieBecause of his glacial slowness in dealing with the Katrina disaster one might think that Brown might provide an acceptable substitute for escargot. Don’t. Nor would he, in the opinion of our editors, function as a substitute for turtle, or even sloth.

  To be honest we are utterly baffled as to what he might be good for, and have consequently been forced to reach outside our editorial circle for advice. We conferred with several renowned chefs in New Orleans in hopes that they might have useful ideas. While every one of them was immeasurably pleased by and highly enthusiastic about the concept of Brown being cut up, deboned, wrapped in butcher’s paper, and stuffed in a cooler somewhere, not a one of them could think of one dish where he would work. Emeril just burst into tears. And this in a city where they will cook and eat damn near anything.

  The carcass does have a certain appeal because of its fat/meat ratio, and the lack of activity would suggest overall tenderness, but in the end it is almost certain that Brown would once again leave a bad taste in the mouth. If one is absolutely determined to use Brown, be it out of desperation or demented Bush Brand loyalty, plan way ahead, and have a Plan B to put into motion when Brown once again proves to be useless.
 
Rating: 0 Forks -1/2 as a Cabinet meeting snack

Course Advice:  Unsuitable as an appetizer; certain to render any soup excessively watery; if you must use him as an entrée he might serve as a ‘late’ dish, that is to say one that is still in the oven and not ready in time for dinner, and ends up scraped into the trash later.  Even then we suspect that whatever he was in  would be badly prepared and underdone.

Recipe suggestions: See above.

Substitutions: Once again our editors are at a loss. But we won't refund your subscription unless you can do better. Go on. We dare you.

Beverage Suggestions: Sloe gin fizz; Katrina Delight (nothing in an empty glass); Lower Ninth Stinger; Fema Zombies

Warnings: May be fed to the gators by Gulf Coast residents; induces profound torpor.
