Bonjour! Welcome to our snark sub on faux feminist Saint Meghan and her hypocrite prince, Harry.
Many here have been amused by the the old clip of MM grilling caesar salad for Matt Lauer on the Today Show. This was back in 2016 when she was a relatively unknown actress and relentlesly promoting herself as a "foodie" and blogger. The hosts did not seem thrilled as she ridiculously claimed the recipe was a good option for those who were gluten free as she sprinkled breadcrumbs all over the lettuce.
Caesar Salad On The Grill? ‘Suits’ Actress And Cook Meghan Markle Shows How
Was watching a video from Eating History recently and learned that Wallis Simpson of all people is often credited with popularizing the salad in Europe. The Original Caesar Salad from Mexico
Fact or fiction it is curious MM chose to make this particular salad during one of her first named appearances on network TV.
"In the book In Search of Caesar, The Ultimate Caesar Salad Book by Terry D. Greenfield, it is stated: "In Europe , Caesar's Salad was also beginning to make an appearance. The legend attributes the salad's debut across the ocean to Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson (mistress and ultimately wife of Prince Edward VIII of Wales , former King of England). Mrs. Simpson often visited and partied in the San Diego and Tijuana areas in the 1920s. It is said that Mrs. Simpson met the prince of Wales there, at the Hotel Del Coronado. During this time, Mrs. Simpson visited Hotel Caesar's Place and became fond of Caesar's Salad and was sometimes an overbearing guest demanding that Caesar himself toss his salad at her table-side, creating quite a fuss It is also that that as a result of Mrs. Simpson's extensive world travels, Caesar Salad was introduced to many of the great European restaurants by her instructing international chefs as they struggled to recreate the dressing to satisfy the soon-to-be-Duchess of Windsor's discerning palate.

Ew, the “foodie” blogger years. Fake fake fake.
ps: If anyone wants to throw up in their mouth, do read this Tig farewell note. She even managed to include a headshot in it.
That awful signature, pics of kids in Rwanda... she's such a phony.
Red flags everywhere.
she should have been paid for that .
No “As ever”? Hmmm
LOL it's like she signed her friend's high school yearbook 🥴
Blegh! That letter is pretty much from ME to ME.
Totally. You can hear her saying it.
The last para looks like it could be on a banana. Scribbled in sharpie
She had that crap handwriting even then
I am cracking up. She's never made that a day in her life. Look at how limp her hand is & her facial ticks.
Yup - this is the reason why she is her own worst enemy. She’s not very bright.
And the word of the day, children, is...."exactly."
Join us next time on Archetypes of Food, where Meghan will discuss her love of the slime on okra.
I lost count of how many times TW said exactly.
She said ‘exactly’ probably 20 times in that short segment and ended too many sentences with her signature - ‘Right?’
Exactly! It’s so easy, right? Exactly! It’s looks delicious, right?
Exactly! It's like nails on a chalkboard, right?
Somehow Sunshine Sachs really failed this woman. RIGHT???
And she can't understand why she never made it in Hollywood. Sigh. I watched the video of her visiting a local food manufacturer with Hilary Duff (who was well-spoken and personable, unlike Meghan) and I couldn't believe she told everyone she likes okra because it's slimy. She sure knows how to make something sound appetizing, doesn't she?
"Mrs. Simpson visited Hotel Caesar's Place and became fond of Caesar's Salad and was sometimes an overbearing guest demanding that Caesar himself toss his salad at her table-side..."
Meghan copying her predecessor again. Being an overbearing guest at a restaurant, sounds familiar.
Meghan tossed Harry's salad a few times with the roast chicken. Didn't he say, "She'll do anything."
She also says to marinate the shrimp for an hour in lemon juice… you shouldn’t do it that long because it will ‘cook’ the shrimp. I doubt she cooks or ever made this recipe
Clearly she doesn’t know anything about ceviche being such a “foodie” and all
“She claimed the recipe was a good option for those who were gluten free as she sprinkled breadcrumbs all over the lettuce”…wow. Her misuse of words and phrases (and actual an medical condition) is baffling. Yet calls herself a “word nerd” and the “smart one”.
She has especially poor communication skills for an actor and rarely seems at ease in front of a camera. Imagine she meant to say it would be the case if the preparer left off the breadcrumbs. Did she forget her lines? Just blurt that out?
She also claims eating grilled shrimp on warm lettuce is a perfect playful snack for kids. Can you imagine little Archie trying to eat grilled lettuce with shrimp and dressing?
Remember, Archie loooves vegetables!!
who doesn’t love warm lettuce? /s
She just doesn’t seem to know what words mean, does she
She lives in a world where all words have been redefined to mean whatever the user imagines them to mean.
Word salad while making a salad...
This just strikes me as one of Corey's recipes that she stole and passed off as her own. I really can't see her coming up with this on her own.
She started wearing the Panama hat after Harry did in Vegas, The Tig moments are just a rip-off of Oprah’s Ah-ha which is a rip off of Martha Stewart’s good things. Markle has never had an original thought.
Anyone count how many times she said “exactly”?
Her voice is bleh.
Lettuces? I guess if one were referring to a bunch of different types of lettuce, it would be okay? 🤷🏻♀️ Referring to multiple pieces of romaine would just be lettuce.
I've also seen it in referring to multiple heads of the same type. I think that's just being practical, like at a market
Caesar Salad. Can she get any more basic? You can’t call yourself a foodie and then make a Caesar of all things come on!
MM and that Beckham kid…
Don't even get me started on that Beckham kid and his nepo baby wife. I'm surprised there isn't a snark page dedicated to them at this point. Get a load of how utterly cringe this is - https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjItyN2DQE1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Meghan does not want to go to Mexico...afraid to run into poor Thomas Markle!
Back then wasn’t he the apple of her eye?
I like to cook, not many people know that about me, it's not like I've ever been on tv for cooking or anything.
“Homemade” bread crumbs = crushed store bought croutons
A great pair..mm and matt lauer.
There were rumors...
Knowing what we know about Matt Lauer, I expect that was the only way she could get onto the show and she went for it.
At the end of the clip he mentions that the channel Suits aired on is a "sister network" of the one airing the morning show.
I was more entertained and distracted by the screaming teens in the background....who MM thought were cheering for her?
It must have been excruciating to be in her company.
Lookit, Wallis 2.0, come at me with your salad demands. I got a cuppa huge mid century modern oversized wood salad tossers that haven’t cracked a dummy’s skull since 68.
I believe that she like the salad and living in France with all the best cheeses, etc. this would have been super easy to have her chef make.
It was by word of mouth I believe that it spread. Nothing she did. Her claim to fame is "never too thin or too rich"
Actually the Quote is from Babe Paley but I am sure Wallis agreed. The Duke and Wallids were grifters but never really spoke badly of the BRF.
Yeah but somewhere the duchess was give some credit. No matter what fascination still is there those incredible jewels she designed!
She finds a way to ruin everything
"eXaCtLy"
Grilled romaine is delicious!!
Hey, where is Trevie's bracelet!
I believe she made a few appearances on the show and went into Matt Lauer's office at the same time! YES SSSS SHE DID. Roasting his chicken!
