OT: Reigniting the condiment wars...

I offer a recipe for a very mild horseradish dressing from a very popular local restaurant here in KC (whose recipe book cover quaintly says "Receipts"--near drove me nuts as a kid).

I whip up a big batch of this when I slow roast a brisket.

1/2 c whipping cream 1/4 c mayonnaise 2 Tb salad mustard (I use prepared, not dry) 1 heaping Tb horseradish 1/2 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1/4 tsp seasoned salt 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper

Beat cream until stiff. Fold in rest of ingredients. Chill.

Well, I *guess* this recipe is OK since it specifies the use of

****mayonnaise**** and not that nasty MW drek! I don't care for horseradish by itself but a wee bit of it in something like this is acceptable :-)! CiaoMeow >^;;^<

And the first definition in most dictionaries for receipt is ... ? :-)

As a noun, it's an acknowledgment of having received funds.

As an adverb, it denotes a person received something.

As a child, I wasn't well read enough to know that "receipt" is a legitimate (albeit archaic) word for recipe, used in American (primarily frontier) English as late as the early 1900s.

From the online etymology dictionary:

"receipt c.1386, "statement of ingredients in a potion or medicine," from Anglo-Fr. or O.N.Fr. receite "receipt, recipe" (1304), altered (by influence of receit "he receives," from V.L. *recipit) from O.Fr. recete, from L. recepta "received," fem. pp. of recipere (see receive). Meaning "written acknowledgment of money or goods received" is from 1602."

When I was a kid, I just thought it was a really really egregious typo and shut my eyes in horror every time I saw it. ;)

Honestly, the first entry in

is recipe, as is in my own dictionary.

Weird, I probably saw it most 1940-50s post-war European drama genre.
