[Sca-cooks] First cookbooks....

[Stefan li Rous]

Marina mentioned:
<<< 1.  What was the first cookbook you ever owned, all by yourself?
A book on the history of the sandwich published by Scholastic.  I
think it is
still at my parents home.  Next time I am there I will be looking for  
it >>>

Was this a scholarly work? Or one put together from very tertiary  
sources? It would be interesting hearing what they give as the  
earliest/early sandwich.  Most mentions I've see say something about  
the "Earl of Sandwich" and such, but I'm not sure that that isn't  
just a lot of fluffy story.

<<< 2.  What was the first cookbook you remember cooking from?
A little local book from the Presbyterian Church from Sheffield
Ontario.  I made the
"Yum Yum" cake cause it sounded so cool. But I was cooking things
like scrambled eggs by the
time I was six and I was also making pyrohy since I was five (but not
cooking it on the stove) -just making it. >>>

  What's "pyrohy"?
