And yes, I only included recipes here that were proven to be in game.

A LOT of recipes were in game in classic. One thing to keep in mind is that throughout most of classic, eqtraders was explicitly not a recipe source, it was designed as more of a bazaar, and a collaborative place for traders to work. Niami didn't begin listing recipes on a large scale until closer to Kunark.

The entire tradeskill community across all servers only numbered in the hundreds until the velious tradeskill boom as a result of the prayer shawl, so many classically proven recipes (the names are listed in the recipe books on the vendors) weren't actually discovered until kunark or later (Chocolate Covered Cherries and Pixie Powder Cinnesticks for example weren't discovered until velious).

I have 2 very complete lists from Kunark that don't list snake pickles which is why I am a little reluctant about them. The Item ID 20397 for snake pickles is also a little strange, being pretty well sandwiched by Kunark era IDs and recipes, and while I don't rely on ItemIDs blindly it is peculiar. While it may be listed in one of the classic era cookbooks, it doesn't necessarily mean it was implemented in classic.

Chocolate Marr Cherries and Pixie Powder Cinnesticks were presumably both added to the game at the same time (IDs are consecutive), and came very late in classic, maybe even bridging into Kunark, so it wouldn't really surprise me if they were found out later on.
