Vintage Cookbook Vault: Double dog dare part deux

The Vintage Cookbook Vault highlights recipes from my insane stash of books and pamphlets from the early 20th century onward. It's a semi-regular thing.

Remember aaallll the way back to a few weeks ago when we posted a righteous recipe for a Frank and Corn Crown from the 1965 Better Homes and Gardens Meat Cook Book, and Sarah of all.of.my.dirty.little.secrets took up our challenge to craft one of her own at home?

Remember all the way back to yesterday when I posted the super fancy recipe for Better Homes & Garden's Frank & Corn Crown and double dog dared readers to make one at home? It's like I used The Secret because it came true almost immediately!

Reader Sarah of all.of.my.dirty.little.secrets busted out her pearls, potholders and festive retro apron to whip up one of her own. Pop on over to Sarah's Tumblr to witness the magic for yourself.

The United States of Yum (and a chislic recipe)

Eatocracy zOMGBFF and former colleague Kristyn Pomranz unleashes her mad genius upon the world with this map of regional food favorites, divvied up by state.

Head on over to My Food Looks Funny for the full map, but know this about Ms Pomranz - she's co-written two (2) musical plays, I Can Has Cheezburger: The MusicLOL! and Hot Dogs: The Competitive Eating Musical and should be approached with extreme caution. And possibly snacks.

And if you're a resident South Dakota, you probably have your own chislic recipe (it's cubed meat, by the way and it's usually fried), but if you aren't and you don't and you're jealous, our pal Beannie's family cookbook does. You're welcome.

Cooks Source cribs blogger's work, suggests payment for the privilege
November 5th, 2010

CNN Tech has weighed in on the publishing blunder that's got everyone from food fiends to 4chan up in arms over online copyrights. In a nutshell, a blogger named Monica Gaudio found that a post she'd written about medieval tart making had been reprinted, without her permission, in a Western New England print magazine called Cooks Source.

When Gaudio contacted the magazine's editor Judith Griggs to ask for an apology on Facebook and a donation of $130 - approximately $.10 a word - to the Columbia School of Journalism, she was shocked to receive a reply that read, in part:

"But honestly Monica, the web is considered "public domain" and you should be happy we just didn't "lift" your whole article and put someone else's name on it! It happens a lot, clearly more than you are aware of, especially on college campuses, and the workplace. If you took offence and are unhappy, I am sorry, but you as a professional should know that the article we used written by you was in very bad need of editing, and is much better now than was originally.

Now it will work well for your portfolio. For that reason, I have a bit of a difficult time with your requests for monetary gain, albeit for such a fine (and very wealthy!) institution. We put some time into rewrites, you should compensate me! I never charge young writers for advice or rewriting poorly written pieces, and have many who write for me... ALWAYS for free!"

When Gaudio brought the story public on her blog, the collective denizens of the internet, well...

They did not like that one bit.

CNN Tech has the full story of the ongoing online backlash against Cooks Source, but we'll hazard a guess as to what got folks' - especially food writers - brioche in a bunch.
