today's challenge: can ANYBODY think of a bull****, knock
together, grab
bag, whatever **** you can find, throw the last rotting dregs
from
the
refrigerator, if you can't identify it it's a ****ing
ingredient,
food
that's been the subject of more abject nonsense and militant
moronic
"authenticity" than chili (or chilli.....or chile....or
whateverthe****, if
you prefer)?

Uh ... meatloaf?

Hm......meatloaf......well, yeah, meatloaf does come in for its
share
of favorite variants. However, I think it lacks the million or so
one
and only authentic recipes, each one with its own loyal cadre of
adherents willing to die....or, preferably, to kill.... to protect
its
sanctity, that chili enjoys.


I think spaghetti sauce runs a close second, although the variants
all seem
to have some similarity to each other. Barbeque sauce, ribs,
homemade mac
and cheese, and how to cut a watermelon all come in the running,
too, IMHO.

I offer the same response I did to Scott. There are many foods that
inspire fierce loyalty to a particular recipe, but no others that I
can think of that prod millions of idiots to proclaim that there is
only ONE REAL recipe......and that they just happen to possess it.
