Sources
- Temple (2018), Literary Hub: reprints the recipe and Gysin's introduction. Temple says she corrected Gysin's misspelling of "cannabis", so her text is not a witness to the original spelling.
- Eplett (2015), Scientific American blog: Gysin's contribution, his spelling "canibus", Harper's omission, the early-1960s American edition, the comparison with majoun.
- The 1954 book is not cited directly: the recipe is cited from Temple's reprint. The page number of the recipe in the London edition (p. 259 in one dealer's listing) is not confirmed, so none is given. The British publisher and the exact year of the restored American printing are not stated in the sources cited.
- One blog (Kenyon Review, 2008) names Random House as the American publisher that cut the recipe; Eplett and the dealer listings name Harper. Harper is followed.
Title
- "Haschich fudge" is the recipe's printed title, in sentence case. Hashish fudge (Eplett's spelling) is a redirect.
Is it cannabis?
- The recipe names the plant as Cannabis sativa (spelled "canibus"), and both sources identify it as cannabis.
Kind and plant part
- Sweet. Whole plant: the recipe pulverises "a bunch" of the dried plant and names no part.
- Country: Morocco, where Gysin lived and where the recipe's introduction places its use; Eplett calls it a Moroccan confection.
- Still made: not known from the sources cited.
