sylvarI've noticed in Cornbread Nation 1: The Best of Southern Food Writing that some food historians use receipt for recipe.
So why is this? Is it just because receipt is an older word? Is it because it shows up more often in their primary sources? Or is it mainly a shibboleth so that food historians can recognize each other?
