OK, I won't serve my version of Italian food if the pope comes to visit.
But, I think I should still be able to make my favorite inauthentic lasagne
recipe in my own home.

If you were to leave the meat out of the Pope's lasagne during lent, would
that be acting like you knew something that was no business of yours to know
(if you're not Catholic)? I think it would be courtesy. And I don't think
it's secret that going without meat sometimes was Catholic dogma until the
mid 1960's and is still practiced by many conservative Catholics. I know we
had fishsticks or cheese pizza at my school ALWAYS, Vatican II or no Vatican
II, it being a Catholic town in the extreme. It was lonely being a Baptist
sometimes. <g> (But we had Glorieta just an hour away...)

Are you planning to sell it as authentic Italian lasagne, or keep it as a
family recipe?

I don't think anyone was complaining about this woman doing her own thing,
but as marketing it as something it's not.
