   9. As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods   
   from their past.  Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to   
   help people who are looking for lost recipes from their past.  If you submit a   
   request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.   
      
   "In the late fifties or early sixties, either Ladies Home Journal or Good   
   Housekeeping or Better Homes and Gardens had a wonderful recipe for an three   
   layered angel food cake that had a whipped coffee flavored icing in between   
   each layer topped by more of the icing with toasted slivered almonds on to.  I   
   cannot find the recipe my mother had and loved the cake and would love to make   
   it again.
