My fellow Americans:

Salute these real recipes from real congresspeople, recreated with love and fear by me.

Do not try these at home.

That viral TikTok gave me quite a January — over 350,000 views and a 10x jump in followers? Yes. Incredible to get to connect with so many people who had no idea these authentic recipes from real politicians existed. I got amazing comments from people on these:

  • “Viscera”

  • “Slop”

  • “Mystical white people food”

So many more. And then a producer caught wind of my theater of disgust, and in two days I was talking about mustard jello with Peabody Award-winning journalist Scott Simon on NPR’s Weekend Edition. If you haven’t heard the interview, go check it out — I go into detail on two of my worst recipes of 2023 and I even made Scott Simon laugh aloud VERY hard once, which I’ll treasure forever.

Thanks for all the love!
