Julia Child Was A Super Spy!
Quick, Julia! There's a Nazi trying to get into your safe house. Throw that big fish at her before she busts in!
In a report out today, Julia Child has been named as one of the 24,000 people who worked as a covert agent for the OSS during World War II. You know Julia Child beat the schnitzel out of a few Nazis and then made them a delicious roasted chicken dinner afterwards.
The Guardian has the details:
Child was one of more than 24,000 covert agents working on behalf of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a second world war-era precursor to the CIA. Her fellow spies included professional baseball player Moe Berg, US supreme court justice Arthur Goldberg and Miles Copeland, the father of The Police drummer Stewart Copeland.In new records released today by the US national archives, Child admitted she left a previous job in furniture advertising after personality conflicts with her employers.
"I made a tactical error and was out," the French-cuisine guru wrote in her OSS application. "However, I learned a lot about advertising and wish I had been older and more experienced so that I could have handled the situation, as it was a most interesting position."
Child, who died four years ago this week at age 91, applied for the spying post years before marrying Paul Cushing Child and opening her storied French cooking school, L'Ecole des Trois Gourmandes.
I bet you Julia's signature voice isn't real! Her real voice is probably sultry and velvety, but she didn't want any of the Nazis to find her out. I love her even more now. Although, I can't fuck with her recipes. I tried to make one of her recipes once and after I took a glance at it, I closed up the book and ordered Chinese. That shit is impossible.

I would have killed to see a cook off between her and Paula Deens annoying ass southern accent thing she does.

I remember reading about this years ago...like in the early 90's.
Yeah, it's been known for years she did work for the CIA.
Of course she was a spy. How mid-century of her. What a trooper.
I wonder if she transported messages in her food. Onion based messages and other messages in beef.
Some dishes might have actually been called that. Like, say, the "message in beef". It's a beef broth and pastry concoction with notes. The parsley was laid out in letters about stuff like what hitler was wearing yesterday.
Beef curtains too. They're good for spying with.

How hard can a recipe be that requires a forkful of olive oil?
The OSS probably taught her how to use a chef's knife to chunk frozen butter.
I remember both of those incidents from her show.
I also remember, as a kid, mimicking her voice and Mr. Rogers' voice.
Ahh, PBS ... good times.

"JULA?" MK has been hitting the Buckley's and the barley water a little too hard, methinks.

"Practically" is not an option when it comes to virginity.
Thats awesome!!!
But can she fry up some poo??
Seriously...any recipe that has more than 4 ingredients is NOT something i would make. I dont keep capers and shit around...fuck that.
