<< What sort of redacted recipe can you make from this Apecius translation
(the
 Vehling trans., all I have at the moment):
 
 (129)ALITER PATINA VERSATILIS
 
 THE DISH, CALLED A TURN-OVER, IS THUS MADE: CRUSH VERY FINE WALNUTS AND
 HAZLENUTS TOAST THEM AND CRUSH WITH HONEY, MIX IN PEPPER, BROTH, MILK AND
 EGGS AND A LITTLE OIL.

I could see this coming out in two different ways, based on relative
proportions.
If you had a lot of finely ground nuts (essentially nut flour), mixed with a
little honey, spices, and a relatively small amount of liquid, you could
easily come up with a fried cake or pancake, or possibly even something like
a muffin.
On the other hand, if you had a lot of eggs with some milk, some ground nuts
and the honey and spices, and fried it in the oil, you could end up with a
sweet nut and honey omelete (which my roommate would probably love!).  Since
I'm not clear on what the Roman conception of a "turnover" was (assuming this
is the correct translation), I wouldn't know which way to go with it, and
being that the results are so different, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable
calling either one of them "authentic Roman cooking".
