Coolio has a fetish — for cranberry relish.
The aging rapper showed up on NPR to sample the “sounds terrible, tastes terrific” relish recipe from Susan Stamberg's mother-in-law.
As odd as that may seem, Coolio a.k.a. The Ghetto Gourmet, hosts a popular online cooking show, Cookin' With Coolio, where where he makes “blasian” (black + Asian) stir-fry, stir-fried vegetables and fall-off-the-bone chicken.
Coolio, who's more likely these days to show up on a game show than a concert stage, pronounces the Pepto Bismol-pink relish “quite good.” He also adds a dash of hot sauce and suggests renaming the concoction “Mama Stamberg and Coolio's Wild Cranberry Pinkout.”
Now I got a fetish
For that relish.
And it's Pinkout.
Better pull your drink out.
We should start the holiday season like this every year.
