Don’t think Whoopi Goldberg is an antisemite? A newly leaked recipe comes back to haunt the actress. Goldberg, who’s real name is Caryn Johnson, contributed to a cookbook for a charity called ‘Cooking in The Litchfield Hills’ way back in 1993.
DailyMail.com exclusively obtained a copy of the long-forgotten cookbook, where Whoopi’s recipe mocking Jewish-American women glaringly stands out amongst friendlier submissions like legend Diane Sawyer’s ‘roasted potato skins with scallion dip’, the late Eartha Kitt’s ‘summer zucchini soup with nasturtium blossoms’ and Oscar de la Renta’s ‘fresh pumpkin and crab soup’.
Whoopi’s recipe was the “Jewish American Princess Fried Chicken”:
Send [a] chauffeur to your favorite butcher shop for the chicken (save the brown paper bag). Have your cook:
1) Melt equal parts oil and butter 3/4 deep in a skillet over moderate heat.
2) Put flour, seasoned with remaining ingredients, into brown paper bag.
3) Rinse chicken parts and place in bag.
Then you tightly close top of bag (watch your nails) and shake 10 times.
Hand bag to Cook, go dress for dinner. While you dress, have Cook preheat oven to 350 degrees and brown chicken slowly in skillet. When evenly browned, have Cook place chicken in dish in oven.
Have Cook prepare rest of meal while you touch up your makeup.
In about half an hour, voila! Dinner is served! You must be exhausted.
As noted by Daily Mail, the “Jewish American Princess” recipe was met with “intense backlash” at the time by the Anti-Defamation League, which labeled it “insulting” and “anti-Semitic.”
“It’s a lousy recipe with insensitive and anti-Semitic ingredients. Whoopi should know better. She needs some sensitivity training, unfortunately. The good people who published it need some sensitivity training too.”
Critics at the time also noted how disgustingly racist Whoopi’s so-called recipe was, saying that she used the time to make Jewish women seem entitled.
