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.

Gumbo, mayhaps?? Yes, the constituency is somewhat limited, but I
haven't
had the same gumbo twice this week.

I'm not very familiar with gumbo recipes myself. I seem to recall a
wee controversy about it.....um....Forty and RDean, I
believe.....about a year ago, maybe? At any rate, while it may fall
into the same class as "chili" in terms of misguided loyalty, your
observation about limited constituency is THE key ingredient.
