I think that was a storyline on an episode of "Friends". Flaky Phoebe was the one who made the cookie's from her aunt's recipe and she "Frenchi-fied" the name of the cookie...something like "Twole Haus", or something like that. Monica (the chef) was furious when she found out it was the Toll House recipe.

Perhaps the show's writers had heard the same story...:B

 

I seldom ever watched 'Friends' but the story probably came from that episode, either it was one of the few I watched or someone told me about it.

After a month of thought...I think the request to never share is unreasonable and puts you in a bad position.  Maybe share it but leave out the salt or something obvious...so you honor the request but aren't a jerk. 

 

I would rather someone tell me they to my face that they would not share their recipe because I was ugly, than to know they were lying to my face.
