oh great.

Now I have to put up with stupid org names like YakMilk319 or IluvBraunschweigerinMe or PurpleDunkaRoos

Mods, make this shit a sticky.

Initially though, I read that topic as "What's in Prince's Fig"

I wonder what or for whom the sausage was for?

actually me too.

I don't see Prince, even if he's not a strict vegan anymore, putting that into his body. At least not orally.

Guys...it's April 1. Think about it.

I'm about as fast a fortnight.

Genesia.

mods, this deserves at least a temp ban!

Prince doesn’t drink coffee. Why would he need creamer?

Genesia said:

My friend said to me as we were reading this thread, "there is no such thing as a What's in your fridge series."

I replied "well, there must be."

Genesia said:

Guys...it's April 1. Think about it.

I really wish you hadn't played this card quite so soon.

OMG OMG.

Quick, everybody edit your post referencing you know what.

That's why I didn't comment on the article itself.

So, cow's milk is for calves, but yak milk is for...Prince??

I realized about a quarter of the way into that article that it was probably an April Fool's joke. lol

At first I didn't know the thread title meant 'Fridge' but as soon as I saw that in the 'article' title I knew. But who are we kidding? We all know Prince doesn't have a fridge

Eggplant-the royal purple veggie!

You had me up until the soy milk bit.

Funny.

What’s in Prince’s Fridge?

by Staff on April 1, 2011

When we first approached the representatives of international rock superstar Prince to see if he’d consent to being the inaugural subject of our What’s In Your Fridge series, we knew it was a long shot.

We weren’t surprised that we didn’t hear anything back for eight long months. We were surprised when the response wasn’t a curt “no.” Instead, it was: “We have some conditions.”

“OK,” we countered. “Conditions are fine. What are your conditions?”

- No descriptions of the house or its location.

We could abide by this. After all, the series is What’s in Your Fridge?, not What’s the House Like and Where Is It Located?

- Prince would not actually be present during the fridge inspection, but we could ask him some follow up questions about the contents by email afterward.

Well, not ideal, but understandable. Fine.

- No photographer.

This was a problem. It defeated the whole purpose, we argued. We’d love to do it, but without a photographer…

But then one of Prince’s representatives (Or was it the man himself? Hard to tell over email.) suggested that we bring an illustrator. That was OK. This is the sort of compromise you make.

Without further ado, then, What’s in Prince’s Fridge?

Andy Sturdevant / Heavy Table

– Dunk-a-roos, about 5 pounds’ worth

You may remember these from the early ’90s — packs of kangaroo-shaped cookies with chocolate or vanilla frosting used as a dipping sauce. The fridge had at least 10 different packages of the things, including out-of-print vintage varieties (double fudge cookies with strawberry frosting, for example).

About the Dunk-a-roos, he wrote:

“Don’t know what 2 say about Dunk-a-roos. They’re just good! Sometimes you want a food that is comfortable and takes you back. For me, it’s those crazy little kangaroo crackers.”

– Homemade kimchi

Andy Sturdevant / Heavy Table

A large jar, clearly actually buried in someone’s back yard at some point. About a gallon.

“This stuff is AMAZING.”

– 18 varieties of mustard

Including German, Wisconsin, Californian, and Texan brands, plus a raspberry-flavored variety. The big question this raised: Is Prince a mustard collector? Does he hang out at Madison’s Mustard Museum? It’s worth noting that almost every container had been opened and showed signs of being enjoyed.

“I don’t collect it, but LOL yeah there’s a lot in there. U gotta love mustard. The raspberry kind is the best. You wouldn’t expect it but that’s how it goes.”

– Soy milk-based coffee creamer

“No cows were oppressed 2 make this righteous creamy creamer, U know? It’s really good! In coffee or whatever.”

– Microgreens, about one cubic foot’s worth

“So good with fig balsamic and a really good olive oil. I just munch on this stuff.”

– Braunschweiger

We asked Prince, a known vegan, what he was doing with a log of Wisconsin Braunschweiger, a traditional German smoked pork liver sausage. We got no response. Maybe it’s for guests?

– Half a loaf of challah bread from Cecil’s Delicatessen

“Manny loves this stuff, that’s why I keep it around. I guess it’s good with any of the mustards, he says?!?!”

Editor’s note: We do not know who “Manny” is.

– Yak milk, one quart

“This stuff is TOO AMAZING. It clarifies your skin and your mind. It is given freely by the yak, so U can truly enjoy it. Great with Chex – Rice Chex, Wheat Chex, whatever!!!”

– Real maple syrup, one gallon

“People say U can’t tell the difference, but U know, it’s the real deal. It’s a cut above. It’s about 100 cuts above. This is the only thing that touches my waffles.”

Next Week: What’s in the Fridges of the Entire Vikings Starting Lineup?

I love that they got the brand of braunschweiger right, too. Usinger's is made in Milwaukee - an Upper Midwest staple.

And the Brita pitcher on the door...

And notice, the cream's on top!

Errrrr, creamER

love it!

And I too am a proponent of REAL maple syrup!

Got me good I read the whole thing and didn't question it until I looked at the date again. Though I was kinda suspicious after the 'Manny' bit.

As soon as I saw the date it kind of blew the cover. Still funny though.
