Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima ran away together awhile back. It's part of being politically correct in today's world.
I think all recipes become our own through trial and error and are only a framework what we find we like--or have on hand. In one of my cookbooks is a little "funny" about how the person found a recipe that looked really good but didn't have the ingredients on hand so began substituting for this and that. In the end she was amazed that it didn't taste at all like the original recipe!
And then there's the one about a woman who made the best potato salad that many asked for her recipe. Nope, over her dead body would she share that. So when she died, her family engraved her recipe on her gravestone!
