Well, heck, here's the recipe for Amish loaf that passed through here a
little over a year ago. Don't have the culture, though - didn't thik
much of it, so didn't make any effort to keep it alive after passing it
on. If "everybody" has seen this, it might be interesting to see if
the recipe differs amongst those who had it passed to them...after
all, stories always seem to mutate when passed from person to person...
do recipes also, or are they scrupulously preserved?
