Pronunciation: SAB-uh-TIR-ah-M'-soo

Sentence: Roxie planned to impress Bob's new boss by cooking for him a meal fit for a god. But the evening quickly turned into a noshmare, when Roxie, following the recipe given to her by her best friend, added spam rather than ham to the dish. The anticipated ambrosia became in a minute a shambrosia, but worse was yet to come when she added freshly made toffee rather than strongly brewed coffee to the italian dessert, leaving Roxie to wonder whether she had been the victim of sabotiramisu or simply a case of her own shortsighted "cordon blur".

Etymology: SABOTIRAMISU: Blend of SABOTAGE: any undermining of a cause. & TIRAMISU : The name Tiramisu is Italian and means "pull-me-up" (Tirami su), a reference to the effects of the sugar and espresso, and can be translated figuratively as "pick-me-up" or in this case: "put-me-down". ShAMBROSIA n. blend of sham: trick, hoax, fraud & ambrosia: used of various foods for mortals since 1685. Cognate: shambrosiate vb.

Hahaha...NOSHMARE!....I initially thought the key was "sabot"...(a thrust-transmitting carrier that positions a missile in a gun barrel or launching tube and that prevents the escape of gas ahead of the missile) Eiter way, it's a great word, O-Bob. - metrohumanx, 2008-11-26: 14:24:00

You've come up with a verbotomy recipe for success! Pun fun at its very best! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-26: 03:11:00

Sentence: Sander's recipes dated back to Tudor times, this bird had been dwarfed by a behemoth containing no fewer than 48 birds of 12 different species with 20 different spices and one pseudoingredient he would never dilvulge to anyone that asked for the recipe.

Etymology: Pseudo;(from Greek ψευδής "lying, false") is used to mark something as false, fraudulent, or pretending to be something it is not: Ingredient; An ingredient is a substance that forms part of a mixture (in a general sense). For example, in cooking, recipes specify which ingredients are used to prepare a specific dish.

Pronunciation: Miss -ee - Mess - uh - pees

Sentence: The young maid decided to make a magic brew, a love potion number two ... to use on you! From the oysterman she took a single oyster crab, because her magic book of recipes, called for just a dab. After letting it set in chocolate sauce overknight, by morning, it was ready ... just seemed so right! But she forgot the incantation that it required, also. Without the chant ... unenchanted ... his love would never grow! So he remained maidless ... due to her missing word link! Those missedoutrecipes, are not worth a zip to drink. "Nun for me!" ... we say to those Missymessypees!

Etymology: (1) Missy - for the missing part. Messy - to describe what it makes. Pees for the last sillybull (pun intended) of recipes! (2) Miss is synonmous with maid as well ... and missy, is what men do when the maid is gone ... and messy they become, when the maid is gone! (3) Too many double (maybe triple) meanings in lots of this ... so feel free to write your own etymologies for those you see!

Pronunciation: kond kok shun

Sentence: Everyone wanted Grandpa's recipe for his "Rattlesnake Stew". He had made it many times and it was always a different and unique connedcoction. His old friends always asked for the recipe, but he told them it was a guarded family secret. We called it what it really was..."Clean out the Fridge Stew". Proof positive lay in the vast ingredients, which changed weekly: mystery meats like roast beef slices,pieces of cut-up wieners,ham bits, pork chop chunks, chicken fingers, sardines...you get the picture. They were flavored by various bits of peas, corn, beans, pickles, spuds and noodles. All ingredients were of indeterminate age. It inspired my brother to do his dissertation on the fact that most seniors actually get sick and die from food poisoning: Children of the Depression and War-time Rationing who used up all food they hoarded, no matter it's shelf-life.

Etymology: Conned (deprived of by deceit;a swindle in which you cheated)& Concoction (any foodstuff made by combining different ingredients;an occurrence of an unusual mixture;the invention of a scheme or story to suit some purpose)
