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.

Pronunciation: dish-in-gen-u-ous

Sentence: Mrs. Spaghettini was totally dishingenuous when it came to her pizzelle recipe. She would proudly bring them to church suppers and card parties and listen to the accolades of all the church ladies. However, it was a mystery that no one could duplicate her recipe, even though she wrote it down for everyone. It wasn't until after her death that her daughter revealed the missing ingredient - homemade wine. Perhaps that's why the church suppers turned ugly when the ladies started arguing about football, religion and politics.

Etymology: dish: a particular variety or preparation of food + disingenuous: not straightforward or candid; calculating or insincere (Pizzelles - Italian anise cookies that look like little church windows and taste divine even without the wine)
