Chickpea Masala Tort Anyone?

[Guest guest]

As a retired officer of the court and published author (not in the food venue),

I must proffer that there are some pretty good " Chickpea Masala " recipes

available to all free on the Internet, thanks to Google and other search

engines. No need for ruffled feathers.

 

Concerning the sharing of one's favorite recipe; it would more likely not be

considered a reason for gastric upset by any author to have a single recipe

appear on a site such as this when it is offered with recognition, including

name of book and author. Personally I would be flattered! What better

endorsement, and for a nanofraction of the cost of a book tour. Having been a

life-long vegan, and one who omits use of oil wherever possible, I rarely

purchase a cookbook unless I receive first-hand endorsement or know the author.

 

This is a member only access site and I would wager that a few copies of the

book in question would be sought out and purchased by members as a result of

word of mouth testimony. Having said all this; I can attest to the fact that

there will be few counselors willing to give more than a snicker to the thought

of hunting down the party responsible for such a hearty endorsement, unless, of

course, the poster happens to be a celebrity with deep pockets and an egregious

history of civil tort.

 

Generally speaking, tort law defines what constitutes a legal injury and

establishes the circumstances under which one person may be held liable for

another's injury. The " Chickpea Masala " recipe issue here hardly rises to a

matter of criminality, let alone heated discussion and temper tantrums.

 

Has anyone watched the world news today? Oops, perhaps so!
