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.

For example, in cooking, recipes specify which ingredients are used to prepare a specific dish.

Pronunciation: bluff - a - no - wings

Sentence: Marcy was ecstatic. She had finally talked John into giving her his secret recipe for Buffalo wings. It had taken months of wrangling and cajoling but, here it was...neatly written on a 3x5 index card. John made the best Buffalo Wings she had ever had. They were just the right amount of zip, crunch, meat and bones. Every morsel was a bite to be savored. What she was not aware of was that she really had his receipe for Bluffanowings. As she read through the recipe, and imagined herself making them for the first time, she wondered to herself "how does he make them look like wings?"

Etymology: The word Bluff (to mislead or deceive) is combined with Buffalo (as in Buffalo Wings) to start the word. After Bluff, the last part of Buffalo is replaced with ano which is a combination of the word And and No. Finally, the last part of BuffaloWings is added with "Wings". The whole thing is just a play on the popular appetizer....but with no Wings.

Sentence: Teresa smiled to herself after writing out, and handing the recipe for her famous 'pumpkin-apple tarts,' to Janice -- when Janice had begged her to write it down from memory, Teresa had warned her that she was somtimes forgetful -- and now, she realized she had forgotten to include the sugar; an 'outgredient' if you will. 'They certainly will be tart,' Teresa thought to herself, with a chuckle.

Etymology: out (Middle English, outen "to put out") + [in]gredient (Latin, ingrediēns - present participle of ingredī, to enter)
