Obfuscake: /obb-fuss-kayk/ Rupert swore he followed every step of the recipe exactly as written, but the resulting gateau convinced him that Karin had clearly obfuscaked him by withholding a key ingredient. Etymology: Combination of "obfuscate", meaning to make unclear or unintelligible, and "cake", being a type of food to which this act might be applied. Created by: mvsmyth.

Connedcoction: /kond kok shun/ Everyone wanted Grandpa's recipe for his "Rattlesnake Stew". He had made it many times and it was always a different and unique connedcoction. His old friends always asked for the recipe, but he told them it was a guarded family secret. We called it what it really was..."Clean out the Fridge Stew". Proof positive lay in the vast ingredients, which changed weekly: mystery meats like roast beef slices,pieces of cut-up wieners,ham bits, pork chop chunks, chicken fingers, sardines...you get the picture. They were flavored by various bits of peas, corn, beans, pickles, spuds and noodles. All ingredients were of indeterminate age. It inspired my brother to do his dissertation on the fact that most seniors actually get sick and die from food poisoning: Children of the Depression and War-time Rationing who used up all food they hoarded, no matter it's shelf-life. Etymology: Conned (deprived of by deceit;a swindle in which you cheated)& Concoction (any foodstuff made by combining different ingredients;an occurrence of an unusual mixture;the invention of a scheme or story to suit some purpose) Created by: Nosila.

Peculianary: /pek kul e an aree/ Henry was admired as a great cook by his friends, but was so protective of his secret recipes that he either left out a key ingredient or added something bizarre to the recipes he wrote out for his friends. This peculianary habit ensured that his dishes always turned out the best for him alone. Etymology: Peculiar (beyond or deviating from the usual or expected) & Culinary ( of or relating to or used in cooking) Created by: Nosila.
