  • I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but I don't believe either of the book sources say authoritatively that they were the first recorded recipes, merely early instances of them. In general, having a "first", "greatest", "largest", "smallest" hook at DYK runs a good chance of being challenged when it hits the queue or main page, and pulled.

  • You're right - I'll keep that in mind, thank you. I imagine using "first" needs a pretty authoritative and explicit source - ALT2 looks good to me -- samtar talk or stalk 13:00, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
  • for ALT2. New enough: Article created by Samtar on November 23, 2016. Large enough: prose size (text only) is 1690 characters (279 words) "readable prose size" (measured by DYKCheck tool). Within policy: neutral, good inline citations, no copyvio detected. The hook is neutral, sourced, amd appropriate length. Gronk Oz (talk) 08:20, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
