I
have no idea who penned this recipe on lined notepaper, but whoever it was had
a spot of fun in the left margin. Turns out, this is a variation of an old English rhyme.
A
was an apple.
B
bought it.
C
cooked it.
D
dropped it.
E
eluded it.
F
found it.
G
grabbed it.
H
hid it.
I
inquired for it.
J
jumped for it.
K
kept it.
L
laughed at it.
M
marked it.
N
needed it.
O
obtained it.
P
peeled it.
Q
quartered it.
R
reached for it.
S
snatched it.
T
took it.
U
upset it.
V
vaulted it.
W
walked away with it.
XYZ
all ate a piece of it.
Have you heard this rhyme before?
Have you ever baked an Apple Brown Betty? Wikipedia says it's a traditional American dessert. KW

I've always heard of apple brown Betty, but I don't think I've ever eaten it. I made apple crisp. And I've never heard the alphabet rhyme before. Makes me think of the book Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom though.
Thank you. Can't wait to try it !
Hi Two Cables!
Did yo try the Apple Brown Betty recipe? What did you think? Next time, I think I'd use more apples -- or less crumbs.
