American Madness/Refried Screens Crossover
Posted by Alexei | 2 Comments
Greetings to all American Madness readers. I’m Alexei, guest blogger from refriedscreens.com.
When I was a kid, I loved crossovers. For the uninitiated, a crossover would feature characters from different worlds coming together from time to time, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? with Daffy Duck and Donald Duck in the same scene, Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers with Mario and Link, or the Muhammad Ali vs Superman Fight of the Century. Those crossovers were contentious, but American Madness and Refried Screens crossovers are all about love.
In this inaugural crossover, I’d like to draw your attention to Egg Fu.
Egg fu is a ginormous Communist egg created by Chinese sleeper agents to take down America and Wonder Woman.
DC Comics reinterpreted our favorite Communist instrument of terror, Egg Fu, for the 21st Century. They gave him a shave and a language coach.
Old Fu:
New Fu:
After checking out the changes, I realized Egg Fu’s true calling:
A featured ingredient on a reality cooking show.
On Top Chef, they’d probably make him into ‘egg yolk and sea urchin roe with vermicelli’.
On Hell’s Kitchen, they’d probably under cook poor Egg Fu and Chef Ramsay would have no choice but to throw him out, cursing all the way.
On Iron Chef, Chairman Kaga would challenge the contestants to break the shell which normally confines their thinking.
I don’t think any of the Egg Fu dishes would go over well with the judges. I hear he has a weird aftertaste, which is why you can’t get racial stereotype eggs at your local grocer.
Given the culinary might displayed on American Madness (especially from MattC), I wonder how the writers of American Madness would prepare Egg Fu, if he he happened to be an ingredient at their disposal?
Enquiring minds would like to know…

As with Anna Karina, we prefer to remember the U.S.A as she was in the 1960s.

I had some time to think on this one decided that rather then use Egg Fu as the featured ingredient of a recipe, we could further the crossover, I particularly like his golden exterior and felt it could even be left intact for this one:
Ingredients-
1 Egg Fu
1 up White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Red Food Coloring
1 Clear Wax Crayon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap Egg Fu is aluminum foil. Roast for 45 minutes. take Egg Fu out and allow to cool completely.
While cooling, mix red food coloring with vinegar, set aside. When Egg Fu is cool draw on 1 large star and 4 smaller stars, emulating the flag of China. Dip Egg Fu into vinegar and food coloring mixture and allow to sit until Egg Fu is a deep red with 5 golden stars.
You now have a beautifully decorated egg, perfect for Easter Egg Hunts and (here comes the crossover) the Passover Seder Plate.

Impressive! I wonder if Egg Fu would survive the roasting?
