Mine has Aunt Jo's cookies. They are delicious, and the recipe has been handed down for generations. (Aunt Jo was my granny's aunt)

In high school a girl I was dating got really pissed that I wouldn't give her the recipe.

No secret recipes per se, but if you make Grandma Nola's noodles, you're obligated to say "Well, I'm not sure how they're going to turn out" before they turn out awesome.

Some candy that only my mom and 1 other cousin knows how to make. They claim the weather has to be a certain way to even make it. It's kind of gross.

Great cooks don't have or need secret recipes. I can give you any recipe you want and I'll still make it better because of my talent.

Along those same lines, give me a bite of your secret recipe dish and I'll tell you what's in it and how to make it within 30 seconds. I'll then figure out how make that better too if I do happen to like it

Probably not a secret, but Mom had a great no flour peanut butter cookie recipe.

This was long before anyone cared about gluten, but they are "gluten-free" and they are magnificent.

Mom-O-Lot has (had) a Swedish Meatball Recipe that her grandmother finally gave her the year before she died and told her not to share it.

She lost it.

She thinks she remembers it but can't be certain.

Damn, bro, you should capitalize on that talent and start making and selling bootleg Coca-Cola and KFC. You could become a billionaire in no time.

I had distant relatives in the SS that worked some of the camps. I'm sure their recipes were to die for.

Moms cornbread stuffing is the number one in the list. She put together all of her favorite recipes in a cook book before she passed and I had it bound and put together for everyone the Christmas after she passed.

You can't even make enchiladas. Why would we listen to anything you have to say?

One of my favorite things about TexAgs is how easy it is to anticipate a response by certain posters based on the thread title, then opening it up to see that they have in fact delivered.

I must admit though, sometimes the ******baggery is even more than I would have expected. And for that, this thread makes me smile.

You will never guess my secret ingredients.



Unless you did some sexual experimenting in college that is.

Not that there is anything wrong with that of course.

Oh and highly doubtful you can improve on it. My count is off the charts bro.

Recently discovered that all of my grandmother's secret bread, cake, and cookie recipes involved using insane amounts of Crisco.

Most old recipes rely heavily on Crisco. The really old ones use lard.

I really think that's why we like them so much. Transfat is delicious.

I'm pretty confident I'm a hell of a lot better cook than some vagabond Carpenter. Especially one with limited access to ingredients and bigger priorities at hand. He'd at least need a miracle.

I would love to hear a parable about the scared little b^tch and his/her (or gender neutral pronoun) and the secret recipe though.

Not much of a wine drinker, but, I've turned plenty of water into Beer.
