This is true, and I have made dishes that were *******ized copies of
originals and no where near as good as the original. She was given recipes
as to what she requested. However, when someone requests a recipe for one
of the knock-offs, then the conversation will naturally fall to the original
version. The corollary is also true. When someone requests an original
version, a high percentage of time you see replies with knock offs and
discussions then abound as well.
