![]() Still, I’m including the recipe here in case you want to make the full Potholderz experience. It probably would be nice with a bit of vodka or tequila (killing all nutritional value), but was far more a joke than for real. To be honest, the homemade V8 recipe is ok, but not amazing. I made the V8 for that, but not when I revamped the recipe for wings. ![]() I did a previous version of this recipe that used chicken tenders served with a V8. It’s my go-to if I’m too lazy to make an actual rubfor grilling.įinally, and not pictured, is a V8. It’s got a nice spicy kick without being too hot and does a great job of making crispy charred wings on the grill. Next to jump out lyrically was “pass the Old Bay.” Granted, DOOM’s talking about cooking up wack MCs like “crabs in a barrel”, but Old Bay is also a great seasoning for grilled wings. It worked pretty nicely in complementing the smokiness of the grilled wings. It’s kind of like a sweet thinned out ketchup with a hint of heat. It LOOKS a lot like the sauce in the Food Grails video. As I have never had mumbo sauce, I cannot attest to this being authentic. After watching an episode of First We Feast’s Food Grails on the sauce’s history, and a bit of internet research, I came up with the recipe below. Somewhere between sweet & sour and BBQ sauce, it’s a staple for the city’s urban community and Chinese restaurant wing service. I initially thought “mumbo sauce” was just a lyrical turn, but to my delight, it turns out to be a regional sauce from the Washington, D.C. The first to jump out was the quoted lyric above. This uses far more food lyrical references than a lot of the tracks. Not exactly a clear path to a recipe unlike most of the album. It’s a double entendre based around the things you use to handle hot pans in the kitchen as well as, well, roach clips. The title for this, from a culinary standpoint, presents a challenge. I’d say they don’t make them like this anymore, but clearly DOOM does. Excellent clever wordplay, smooth as hell delivery, and no fake gangster/sex rap bullshit. I come to hip-hop from the ’80s so have a special affection for tracks like this. The contrast between Count Bass D and DOOM’s styles turn this into a classic head-nodder. Food references laced into a brag/diss jam with a wicked production track. Never sold a jumbo or copped chicken with its mumbo sauceĪ straight-up old school jam in collab with Count Bass D. This is part of the Cooking The Album project for MF DOOM’s MM.FOOD Inspired by MF DOOM “Potholderz” from MM.FOOD ![]() Lunge for your knife, don’t forget your potholders”
