Hepl with moral dilemma
 

Before my mother passed away I asked her for her landmark stuffed mushroom
recipe. She gave it to me on the condition, "you can never give my recipe
out". I agreed.

Now my wife has decided, that she is in charge of making this recipe. She
looked it up in my personal cookbook. What she doesn't know is that I left
out a "secret" ingredient.

Naturally the dish doesn't come out as expected.

What should I do??

If your mother and you are Catholic or even Christian you have a
technicality. Technically you and your wife are one, when your mother
gave you the recipe she was, by default giving it to your wife also.

That you would keep such 'secrets' from your wife, especially at the
expense of letting her perpetuate a recipe that is less than as good as
what you have come to expect suggests to me deeper issues in the
marriage than a recipe for sauce duxelles.

Sauce duxelles

Place 1 cup white wine and 1 cup mushroom cooking liquor in a pan with 1
& 1/2 ounces of chopped shallots and reduce by 2/3. Add 2 & 1/4 cups
sauce demi - glace, half a cup tomato puree and 4 tbs. dry duxelles;
allow to simmer gently for 5 minutes and finish the sauce with 1/2 tbs.
chopped parsley.

Note: Sauce duxelles is sometimes confused with sauce Italienne which it
resembles but in reality there is a difference as sauce duxelles does
not contain chopped ham or salted ox tongue.

Burn the original recipe as well as your wife's copy, and never
enjoy the mushrooms again.

If you aren't a troll, you are at least ridiculous. Why would anyone
want a good recipe to disappear at their death? That's an immoral
request. (And maybe Mom left out an ingredient when she gave YOU the
recipe! Ever think of that?)

Get the federal government to classify the recipe as secret, get your
wife to sign the Official Secrets Act and get a security clearance and
then let her have the recipe.

You only have to visit your mom...You live with your wife...How hard do
you want your life?

How mean minded was your mom? If she truly wanted the recipe to die with
her...maybe she too left stuff out.

People sure can be weird with recipes. My grandmother made these
gawd-awful sweet pickles that were served at least once a week. As
kids we loved them because they were so sweet. By the time I left the
nest I couldn't stand them. She's 95 now and 10-12 years ago there
was a big deal made of her turning the recipe and pickle duty over to
my SIL. SIL isn't supposed to share the recipe until she passes it
on. Luckily SIL is a drunk and could never follow a recipe long
enough to ever make them. The weirdness stopped with me as I'll share
and help with any recipe I have, but my mom had the weirdo disease. I
stopped asking her for recipes of childhood favorites because she'd
change things. A 1/4 cup became 1/3. Things like that. Just enough
to make her's a little better than anyone else who made it. When I
developed a desire to learn how to cook it took me a few failures to
figure out what she was doing.

Family.....gurrrrrrrrr

Tell us the secret ingredient and none of the other ingredients in
Mom's recipe. We will never be able to duplicate it...and no one here
will tell you wife since we don't know you or her. This will turn
into a Mexican standoff of worldly proportions.

By saying out, I would presume that she meant out of the family. So far,
so good.

> Now my wife has decided, that she is in charge of making this recipe.

Would she pass it on to friends? If that is the case then you, via your
wife have passed the recipe on. Or out.

It all depends on my comment above. You are between a rock and a hard
place here. Who do you have the most loyalty to? If it is your mother,
then you don't pass on the secret ingredient until your wife agrees to
keep it secret. If she doesn't then don't pass on the secret ingredient.
If she does agree (this is something the best chefs do) then let her
know what it was and tell her to keep it a secret for your mothers memory.

First, stop making a mountain out of a mole hill. Your wife *is* family,
isn't she? Logically, I would think your mother meant outside of the
family, or to the masses. Fess up to your wife and let her make them if
she wants to.

IMO, the immoral part is attempting to take a recipe to the grave for no
apparent reason aside from selfishness. Slightly lesser is leaving out a
"secret ingredient" so no one can copy it. Unless it has commercial value
that you want to keep from the competition, it is just plain silly. Just as
silly as having to prepare them yourself just so your wife won't find out
the secret.

There is another reason, but I'm not going to tell anyone what it is. My
secret.

Divorce the bitch and start a company making frozen stuffed mushrooms. Then
find a shrink to help you understand how a twisted woman like your mother
could be so petty as to want a recipe to be buried with her. Your wife just
wants the recipe for herself so she can make a fortune after her stud
boyfriend kills you and dumps your body in a mulcher.

Obviously you don't think much of her, so it's better that you make
them.... and make the rest of the meal while you're at it. Be a manly
man, tell her you're taking over cooking duties because she's so lousy
at following a simple recipe.

In any case, this thread reminds me of the Everyone Loves Raymond
episode where his mom finally taught his wife how to make her special
spaghetti sauce... but changed the label on a jar of some crucial
herb.
