Ina, this is wonderful...love the horseradish. Acemovr, I think it's less intolerance than shock at Barbara's naivete and over-reaction, and frankly, yours as well. And there was certainly no need to rudely yell in caps. You both saw the words "virgin mary" and assumed they referenced the Mother of Jesus, which, I hope you realize by now, is a mistaken assumption. If you search on Wikipedia, you can see there are several regarded sources for the name of this drink, none of which, refers to the Mother of Jesus.

Hey, I'm a Roman Catholic. I work as a receptionist in the church office. We all know what a virgin mary is, for heaven's sake! Come On, Barbara! It's a Bloody Mary W/O alchohol. And this recipe is luscious! NOT ALL VIRGINS ARE NAMED MARY, NOT ALL MARYS ARE VIRGINS!

Get a life I thought everyone knew what a "virgin" drink meant. I don't think it is going to be a huge blow to (in fact not even a small blow that you will no longer be watching her show. The recipe was great as usual coming from Ina

These are PERFECT, with and without vodka. No need to salt the glass rim. I'd suggest removing the celery strings and don't bother chopping the shallot, let the blender do that work for you.

I am a HUGE bloody mary drinker, and I felt like this recipe was just average.
I followed the recipe exactly, but it just was missing something. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just really didn't do much for me.

Very tasty and fresh. BTW, I may be wrong but the Bloody Mary drink was named after Queen Mary of England, eldest daughter of Henry VIII. She got the nickname "Bloody Mary" because of her treatment of Protestants during her reign. A Virgin Mary refers to the non-alcoholic version of the Bloody Mary, not after Jesus' Mother. Take Ina's Virgin Mary recipe, add some vodka and you have a Bloody Mary. Ina didn't name the drink - that's what it's always been called.
