The recipe for manjar blanco [blancmange] in the "Libro de Guisados"
calls for a substantial amount of sugar in the dish, as well as some
sprinkled on top of the finished product. I'm too tired to attempt a
translation tonight, but perhaps I'll post one tomorrow. There's
also a recipe for manjar blanco for invalids, and two others made
from fish and gourds (Lenten versions; no chicken). All of them
contain sugar as well as rosewater.
