Adamantius,

>>By the way: Confits are believed by many to be Savoyard in
origin...Anybody know offhand if they appear in Chiquart? I don't have a
copy...I guess it would depend on the season of the feast Chiquart
covers.<<



Have just looked at the table of contents of Du Fait de Cuisine.  I
didn't see anything like a confit, but remember that he was preparing the
banquet from fresh food.  He must have made them at other times.  What a
shame his Duke didn't nag for a general cookbook in addition!
