Here's the story behind the greatest internet recipe comment of all time

Photo: Brian T. Evans/Getty Images Two years ago, below a New York Times recipe for Katharine Hepburn’s brownies, a woman named Sydne Newberry left what is perhaps the greatest recipe comment of all time, in a genre known for excellence.

“This has been my go-to brownie recipe for 30 years. In the ’80s, an acquaintance in Germany to whom I brought some of the brownies, and who considered herself a great cook, asked for the recipe but was never able to get it to work. She kept asking me what she was doing wrong and I was never able to solve her problem. Eventually, she moved to the U.S. and stole my husband!”

Three years later, Newberry continued, the acquaintance visited and said that she and her husband had broken up.

'She stole my broccoli ... casserole recipe ... and claimed it was hers....'

Did not enjoy reading it, even considering it has a happy ending

It wasn’t working because the flour in Europe is slightly different than the flour in the US. Don’t know about the husband issue.

A classic 😅

2 years old, but if it *is* the GOAT, I guess it bears retweeting. Superfluous link to the NYT recipe, unless one is fully subscribed - basic is not enough.

Can u send the link or the recipe please?!
