Which family recipe has competing versions

My family’s handwritten recipe collection has at least three versions of the same potato salad, and every person is certain theirs is the original. One includes mustard, one leaves it out, and one calls for sweet relish that nobody remembers buying. I love that the disagreement is part of the recipe now. What family dish has an unofficial history of its own?
