Im not even sure my recipe is a real recipeits just something my mom
made when I was a kid and my daughter likes it, so I make it for her. Ive
never, ever seen nor heard of it anywhere else. I just googled it and
cant even find anything super similar online (although I didnt search
long).

* Where do you think "real" recipes came from ? "No Ogg , you stupid
cave dweller , the meat goes over the fire fat side UP !" And thus was
born the first "real" recipe ...

True enough! By real I mostly meant identifiable by some greater
collective of people, either by region, or culture, etc. The only two
people that I know that make this are my mother and me, but I dont doubt
there are lots of similar things out there.

No need to get testy, Terry. Most recipes were originally cobbled
together with what was available or using what one could afford. BTW,
when it comes to meat, fat side down, sear then turn the meat and let
the melting fat baste the meat as it cooks.

She wasn't talking about searing meat. She was talking about sliced
potatoes in a cream sauce.

* See , you just modified the first "real recipe" to improve the dish.
I suspect most recipes evolve as we learn and discover new ingredients ...

Sweet Jesus Jill , do I have to put a disclaimer in every post ? Ogg was
a fictional cave dweller thought up for the purpose of demonstrating how
easily a recipe can be originated ...
