Default When Is A Recipe "Yours"?

It occurs to me, from time to time, to wonder at what point has one so
tweaked a recipe that attribution is useless? Just about every time I
make "my" fruit cobbler I think that I would be hard pressed to give
an accurate attribution or even attributions. It's a combination of a
_Best Recipe_ recipe, a "Bon Appetit" recipe, a James Beard recipe and
my mother's fruit pie filling. And I couldn't tell you now where I got
what without looking at the original recipes or where my mother got
her fruit pie filling recipe.

So, when does a recipe's attribution fall off or does it ever?

RFC needs a Dept. of Official Recipe Certification or something...

To reply, replace "meatloaf" with "cox"
