Monkey bread; Cloud Nine

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

     Greetings from New York City.  Do you know why New York is called the
Big Apple?  It's short for "horse apple."  Excrement!  It's true!  I read it
on the internet!!!!
     My Peter Tamony photocopies arrived:

MONKEY BREAD--I don't know what the OED has.  My guess is that monkey bread
was made by someone who also made banana bread.  Tamony has the San Francisco
Examiner, 19 January 1966, pg. 18, "Not Monkey Business, Just Monkey Bread
Please."  Also, the SF Examiner, 25 April 1966, celebrity recipe, pg?,
"Mahalia's (Jackson--ed) Monkey Bread," has:
     For instance, Monkey Bread is not something you will find in common
books, or even uncommon ones.  Miss Jackson does not say where the name comes
from, though, as with so many old family recipes, perhaps this one has been a
traditional favorite for so long that its origin is lost, and it is called
"Monkey Bread" simply because that's what it's always been called.
