Good for you for going the extra mile to comply with your company's request. Just because it was like casting pearls before swine, doesn't mean you shouldn't be proud of your efforts. I bet at least one person knew what you did.
It's sort of like when I used to make beautiful cupcakes for a school function, and others plopped down a store bought package of cookies. It sometimes seemed as though people just don't care, but I had the satisfaction of having made the effort.
Whats the big deal? They didn't need that. You took it farther than they needed/wanted. Why worry? They werent' rude, they were honest. Funny how people don't like it when others are honest.
Ok, done.
They could have handled it differently, life goes on. I'm think'n you worry too much. You probably knew this may happen. Next they'll charge you for the recipe book.
The receipe sounds delicious I may try it myself and I enjoyed the back story. I think it was extremely rude not to have included the history of the dish with the receipe. Sometime people can be so rude and in inconsiderate sometimes. Rest assured though that your CD friends enjoyed this.
I think you did well. I have been going to make these for a long time and haven't yet, now I need to This is a drawn out process and for you to take the time, and hiking the groceries home, they should be impressed at the very least. I hope you kept some out for leftovers for yourself

I brought it in around 10 a.m., then went back home for my sleep time. I work nights. When I got in, they were all gone, and so was the fact sheet.
I can only guess it got thrown away.
Personally, I'd be cautious about trying any new food. Had I simply seen those and not had anything like it before, I'd be like "What is it? What's IN it?" So, that's one of the things mentioned in the fact sheet. A description of what they were, what was in them.
It's still luck of the draw, since I made two different kinds and you can't tell which is which until you bite into them.

I did say in the OP that it wasn't REALLY a big deal, just something I found annoying. I didn't know that it would happen, or I wouldn't have bothered with it.
Yesterday, my employer hosted a cultural diversity potluck. They asked employees to bring in a dish that reflected their heritage. Bring in the dish, and the recipe for the dish--because they were going to get a little cookbook published at company expense.
My mother's side of the family is Ukrainian, and I made varenyky. I wrote up a little essay on it, found out what the word was in Cyrillic, wrote that on there also. Said it was culinary cousin to the empanada, potstickers, pierogis, pelmeni (thanks to JustJulia for mentioning that, I found out that they are indeed similar when I was doing my research), and something else, I think I said the knish.
If they did that to me, I would bring an empty plate to the next potluck as a way of educating people of the suffering by the Ukrainian population under the Soviet regime.
