Elizabeth Warren may have plagiarized recipes for a Native-American cookbook

  Elizabeth Warren contributed five recipes in a Native-American cookbook entitled “Pow Wow Chow” which was released in 1984. In this book she referred to herself as a Cherokee. (And I thought she wasn’t using her “heritage for personal gain.) My first thought when I read this story was that I didn’t know  crab was considered a staple of Native-American cooking, because two of the recipes were for crab. It appeared to me as if her recipes were as authentically Native-American as she claims to be. 

  It turns out that the least of Elizabeth Warren’s concerns about these recipes is whether or not they are considered authentic Native-American cuisine because they may not even be authentic Elizabeth Warren recipes. It is now being reported that Elizabeth Warren may have in fact plagiarized at least three of these recipes.

The two recipes, “Cold Omelets with Crab Meat” and “Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing,” appear in an article titled “Cold Omelets with Crab Meat,” written by Pierre Franey of the New York Times News Service that was published in the August 22, 1979 edition of the Virgin Islands Daily News, a copy of which can be seen here.

Ms. Warren’s 1984 recipe for Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing  is a word-for-word copy of Mr. Franey’s 1979 recipe.

Mrs. Warren’s 1984 recipe for Cold Omelets with Crab Meat contains all four of the ingredients listed in Mr. Franey’s 1979 recipe in the exact same portion but lists five additional ingredients. More significantly, her instructions are virtually a word for word copy of Mr. Franey’s instructions from this 1979 article. Both instructions specify the use of a “seven inch Teflon pan

  What about the third recipe in question?

The third potentially plagiarized recipe, “Herbed Tomatoes,” appears to be copied from this 1959 recipe from Better Homes and Garden

  Not only has Elizabeth Warren lied about her heritage, but she may have also committed plagiarism based on the lie about her heritage. It is becoming more and more obvious that Elizabeth Warren is a liar and a fraud, and possibly a criminal, who does not deserve the trust of the voters of Massachusetts. If a person is willing to lie about who he or she is how can that person be trusted on any issue in the future? Elizabeth Warren is not deserving of the trust of the voters she seeks to gain. She should do herself, and the voters, a favor and drop out of this race right now before she embarrasses herself and the state she wishes to represent any more than she already has.
