What’s in Prince’s Fridge?

When we first approached the representatives of international rock superstar Prince to see if he’d consent to being the inaugural subject of our What’s In Your Fridge series, we knew it was a long shot.

We weren’t surprised that we didn’t hear anything back for eight long months. We were surprised when the response wasn’t a curt “no.” Instead, it was: “We have some conditions.”

“OK,” we countered. “Conditions are fine. What are your conditions?”

- No descriptions of the house or its location.

We could abide by this. After all, the series is What’s in Your Fridge?, not What’s the House Like and Where Is It Located?

- Prince would not actually be present during the fridge inspection, but we could ask him some follow up questions about the contents by email afterward.

Well, not ideal, but understandable. Fine.

- No photographer.

This was a problem. It defeated the whole purpose, we argued. We’d love to do it, but without a photographer…

But then one of Prince’s representatives (Or was it the man himself? Hard to tell over email.) suggested that we bring an illustrator. That was OK. This is the sort of compromise you make.

Without further ado, then, What’s in Prince’s Fridge?
