Pronunciation: POT lak

Sentence: Everyone was asked to bring a personal dish to the reunion picnic. There was a large variety of delicious treats, and almost everyone was asked by at least one person for his/her recipe. People seemed to be giving out their recipes in a willing and friendly manner. For the following year's reunion, many people tried to reproduce the yummy items. But it ended up being a mediocre potlack because almost everyone had left out at least one ingredient in his/her "special" dish so it could never be made as well by anyone else.

Etymology: potluck + lack

Pronunciation: Mis-gree-dee-ent

Sentence: Whenever anyone asked Diane for her delicious christmas cake recipe she would give it to them with pleasure.

That was enough to make sure theirs would not taste as good as her own.

Etymology: Miss(avoid,omit) + ingredients(any of the substances that are combined to make a particular dish)

Pronunciation: owt-grē'dē-ənt

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)

Pronunciation: ur-SATZ-uh-pee

Sentence: Leonardo was considered a master chef, but a trifle overprotective of his concoctshuns. His ERSATCIPE for renaissance rarebit was written in a strange mirrored code in the margins of his greasy diary, a sort of rosettascone of cookery. Leo was less than forthcrumbing about the ratios and quantities involved. Some said he was a Crunchausen who defectoformulated his dishes to conceal certain outgredients. When scholars deciphered and prepared them, they all agreed there was a certain flavoid in them all. Was the legendary Leonardo pseudosharing on purpose? His Plum pudding had no plums, his mincemeat pie contained no mincemeat, and his chowders were no better than a bowl of steam. Clearly, his ERSATCIPES lacked a certain...something. Even in this age of turkey byproducts and chicken pellets, brilliant minds still struggle to reproduce his most famous ERSATCIPE......the CORN DOGE.

Etymology: ERSATz+reCIPE=ERSATCIPE.........ERSATZ:being a usually artificial and inferior substitute or imitation;German ersatz-, from Ersatz, noun, substitute.....RECIPE: a set of instructions for making something from various ingredients;Latin, take, imperative of recipere to take, receive.
