Potato salad defiled by acorns and raisins. Brussel sprouts and squash drowning in tubs of mac and cheese.

For the Caucasian contingent, this is every day life. But for the rest of us, this is a fate reserved for nightmares and therapist couches.

In 2006, a domestic terrorist by the name of Anna Ginsberg somehow won the Pillsbury Bake-Off—an annual cooking contest that began in 1949 and I presume prohibits black mothers from participating in—with her Chicken and Spinach Stuffing.

Which apparently tastes as bland as it sounds—as evidenced by Oprah’s reaction to falling on the sword and subjecting her tastebuds (and psyche) to Anna’s million dollar “recipe”.

“Did we add salt and pepper?” Oprah asks in disbelief, “I think we need salt and pepper.”

“No, there’s no salt and pepper in it,” Anna replies, “But you can add it yourself.”

Huh.
