History
editThe long-established recipe has been the subject of many newspaper articles.[6] In 1995, Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson authored a humorous book comparing Lutheran and Catholic traditions called They Glorified Mary…We Glorified Rice: A Catholic–Lutheran Lexicon.[7][8] The book includes a recipe for glorified rice. The dish is also included in the title of Carrie Young's Prairie Cooks: Glorified Rice, Three-Day Buns, and Other Recipes and Reminiscences.[9] Glorified rice often turns up at potlucks and church picnics.[10][11]
