Pouding chmeur recipe plagiarized, chef Caroline Dumas alleges

Apouding chmeuris just plain cake with caramel in a bowl until you put some raspberries in it. Then it's #PoudingChomeurGate.

The Twitter hashtag was sparked by a battle of words between chefs Caroline Dumas and Danny St-Pierre on Radio-Canada's Mdium Large radio program on Wednesday.

The two chefs appeared together as guests on the program to discuss the creation of recipes, and all was well until the Quebec Depression-era classic dessert became the subject of conversation.

Dumas took issue with St-Pierre's apparent copy of her ownpoudingchmeur recipe.

"It's your poudingchmeur? It's word for word, Danny. Word for word," Dumas told Danny St-Pierre.

"Danny, you copy-pasted the recipe directly from the di Stasio website."

He responded by saying he didn't think it was possible to plagiarize a poudingchmeurrecipe, and criticized Dumas for airing her allegation of plagiarism on the radio.

"It's great that we didn't talk before you brought this onto the radio like this. That's really classy," St-Pierre retaliated.
