As for what Snoop brings to the table, Stewart says that her 48-year-old bestie is especially helpful at decoding rap lyrics.
“He helps me understand what the rappers are saying. He can distinguish it easier than I can, even though I love rap music and I love the poetry that goes with it,” she shared.
Stewartalso brings an area of expertise to the friendship. “In the arena of cooking, I’ve introduced him to a lot of foods that he wouldneverhave tried otherwise,” she said. “He has a rather limited vocabulary when it comes to food. Although he likes good food, he won’t eat certain things.”
Like, what? Well, asStewartexplained, Snoop had never tasted lobster before she encouraged him to. “He would never eat lobster, but then I made him eat Lobster Newberg because it has sauce on it and it’s masked a little bit… He made it on the show and I told him, ‘But it’s lobster!’ and he said, ‘But it doesn’t have any claws or tails!’ He won’t dig it out of a shell, but he’ll eat it if it’s in a cream sauce.” Good to know.
For those unfamiliar with the deliciousness of Lobster Newberg, it’s an American seafood dish made from lobster, butter, cream, cognac, sherry, eggs and Cayenne pepper. It sounds delicious, so it’s no wonder she was able to convince him to give it a try. And while Snoop and Stewart’s opinions on shellfish may differ, they both agree that Tostitos strips and avocado salsa are tasty. (Stewart admitted she ate an entire jar of the salsa while filming their commercial.)
When she and the rapper aren’t learning lyrics and experimenting with delicacies, Stewart says they keep in touch about their shared interest in business. “We text, for sure. He lives in L.A. and I live in New York, so it’s a little bit hard to hang out on a regular basis, but we have some business together—we both work in the CBD arena. I do thehemp CBDand he does the stronger stuff,” she said. “We’re both very interested in healthy foods and plant-based foods, so it’s kind of interesting. We do business, but we also have a friendship. I even wrote the intro tohis cookbook!”
OK, we totally want in on that text chain.
