Conservative Tongues Wagging, Pig Ears Pricked Over Supreme Court Justice Nominee's Food Preferences -- Or Why Sonia Sotomayor Now Has the Full Support of Our Pulitzer-Prize-Winning Restaurant Critic
Categories: Food Oddities
Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo picked up conservatives going nuts over Sonia Sotomayor's eating habits:
"A conservative source really did draw a connection between Sonia Sotomayor's gastronomical preferences -- traditional Puerto Rican cuisine -- and her allegedly "activist" jurisprudence."
Here is the passage from "the disturbing" Sotomayor speech from a few years ago:
*"My Latina identity also includes, because of my particularly adventurous taste buds, morcilla ([blood sausage with] pig intestines), patitas de cerdo con garbanzo (pigs' feet with beans), and la lengua y orejas de cuchifrito (pigs' tongue and ears)."
She's got my vote.
