Political food

We read:
"A Belgian TV show about Adolf Hitler's favourite meal to be aired next week has come under fire from Jewish, resistance and political prisoner organisations.

For the episode of his TV series Favourite Dish, professional cook Jeroen Meus goes to Hitler's haunts in southern Germany to prepare trout with butter sauce, "a succulent festive meal" and said to be one of Hitler's favourite meals, the program's trailer announced.

Michael Freilich, the editor of Belgian Jewish magazine Joods Actueel, has criticised the show, saying it is worrying that it turns Hitler into a banal figure because it sends "the wrong signal" to the younger generation.

The VRT network will air the show on October 28 and said it will put Hitler "in the right context".

Good move Mr. Freilich. Now where did you say your Mercedes-Benz is parked? Get over it!

My question is who cares what the man's favorite food, how about a documentary on his stupid mustache

are we still allowed to eat trout at all now that it's been exposed that Hitler liked it?

And I do wonder if I'm going to be persecuted for not liking brocoli, Billy the Kid Clinton's favourite veggie...

That's funny. All my information says that Hitler was a devoted vegetarian.

Indeed, it would have been highly educational, I'm sure, had the program aired presenting a strictly vegetarian meal as the favorite meal of one of history's most notorious villains.
