My step-daughter has a terrible habit of asking people how much they paid for things. When she was a teen I berated her for that all the time. She says she wants to know, so she asks! LOL I told her to ask where they got it, then go there and see what it cost. She also asks people how much they make. Grrrrrr She's 46...old enough to know better.
Come to think of it, my MIL did both of those things, too.
Chief, any tips on making homemade pate? I have made pork liver pate that came out wonderful and some that tasted a bit too cooked. Yes, I used a hot water bath in the oven. I guess it's the French influence, but I can get really good pate in the pre-packed deli section of just about any grocery store around here.
I once over heard a woman ask another how much a gift she received cost.She wasn't being that polite about how she asked.It was more of a demanding tone.
The woman politely replied "I don't know.I was told it was purposely re gifted to me. What a thoughtful thing to do.I really needed that."
I guess she told her.She showed a lot of class.

Yes, exactly. Context matters. If it's just nosiness, it better be a really good friend.I agree, it's generally rude to ask how much they paid for things just for the sake of being curious.
But on the other hand I've asked people what they paid for certain things they've purchased, but in the context of the relevant conversation we were having, whether it was a laptop, a car, a refrigerator, a house, etc....
What do you mean, Andy? The company charged as if it was a new recipe. I assume that is what you meant that it was inappropriate to charge as if a new recipe had been developed? I think it is dishonourable to cut and paste recipes already developed, change one ingredient, and charge as if it were a new recipe.

That would be great.I'll make a seperate thread tonight with my recipe and technique. It's probably far different than what you're used to, but it works.
