Is that a racist dog whistle too? Why not just outright say that you hate minorities?

Since it doesn't seem you're in on the joke this is an ancient meme from the lord of the rings movies. Gollum asks Sam "what's taters, precious" since he doesn't know what Sam is referring to when he references taters. Sam replies "Po-Tay-Toes" since taters are short for potatoes. He then says the way to eat coneys (the rabbits that gollum has caught) is to "Boilem, mashem, stickem in a stew". Many a meme was made of this interaction.

So you stew up some taters with the coney meat and that's the right way to eat rabbits. Gollum, however, thinks that sounds horrible and that the right way to eat coneys is to skin them and have the meat raw. There, maybe that answers your question.

Yeah I get the reference I just don't see how it relates to this post

I don't think anyone is convinced that you got the reference, particularly given the nature of your reply.

Hey man we're all friends here, I'm sure you were just making a simple joke right?
