An impostor Apple Pie

Strange where links take one when the gray cells get jumpy. Here's the story...

Monica Gaudio posted a very interesting (short) piece on the history of apple pies. It included a couple ancient apple pie recipes. (Takers anyone? they look tasty.) This was back in 2005.

Evidently, a good portion of the article was lifted and reprinted (with all the Old English spellings replaced my Modern English spellings) by a CookBook publisher. Wow! Someone told Monica about it - and an interesting story has developed out of it.

It is really curious to me in just how many areas of peoples' lives that fellow humans can try to loot or otherwise take advantage of.

  1. My, my, my- good to see that the American free-wheeling, entrepreneurial spirit of stealing other people's efforts is alive and well on the internet. Hope she nails this group who definitely should know better and who should have kept their dignity and donated their lousy $130 bucks.
