    WOW!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Any drink that excludes alcohol is referenced as VIRGIN - and the Bloody Mary is no exception. This was an excellent recipe,... I have used it many times. I think that individual with the "Virgin Mary" issues should get a reality check. Keep bringing those delicious recipes Ina!Read more

    Hail, Mary!

    To the uppity and misguided 'Catholic' - Yours is a little satirical parody, right? Or else the 'papal entry' you made is a... triumph of bad taste. The recipe is scrumptious as is the contessa. The rating should be 5 stars, and look what one cranky-pants did to the math!Read more

    Excellent drink! Thanks Ina!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    To comment on the 1 star rating given by the Roman Catholics; I am very surprized those comments even got through. It's... absolutely rediculous. I thought all comments were screened???? There should be no religious or political comments about any recipe. Anyway; this was a wonderful drink, and non-alcoholic too! Loved it Ina, as I do most all of your recipes. I always end up with your recipes for my parties. Read more

    Thank you Ina!!! After seeing this episode I made a large batch for the bar that I work at. We did a blind taste test with... the customers and they ALL picked your recipe as the favorite. After 10 years, we have changed our recipe to yours! (We did add a couple garlic cloves.)Read more

    Great Drink

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this for a party had vodka on the side for those guests who wanted a kick. Glad Barbara was not invited. She is... someone very hungry for attention. She needs help. Thanks Ina, you are always on the money!Read more

    Whoa!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I find the two comments absolutely hilarious! It's just a drink! Not an attack on the virgin mary! I think it would be... wise if you explored these unnecessarily harsh feelings with a professional. It sounds like there may be some underlying issues with you. And I am sure that Ina's popularity will not be affected by your banning her show. Definitely your loss!Read more
