Thanks for the praise, Oliver!
Any of those ways could be a valid way of finding the lost recipe, but I
think that the original recipe was probably passed from mother to daughter
by word of mouth until one mother died without teaching her
daughter. Perhaps a minor heroquest (Ernalda Finds the Recipe, perhaps?)
was involved to recover the secret, in this, the clan's time of great crisis.
