Pyany; it's the second recipe in Utilis Coquinario.
My copy of CoI is currently packed (I'm in the process of moving), and
so I can't look up the recipe. However, from my project on analyzing
ingredients, I see that it noted it as calling for flowers and seeds.
If "pyany" meant pinola, what on earth would pinola *flowers* be? So
I am inclined to agree with the "peony" reading. But perhaps someone
else has more conclusive data.
Cheers,
