SC - Catherine de Medici

[Christine A Seelye-King]

I just have to throw this tidbit out there, 
Catherine de Medici took her own personal chef with her when she moved
from Florence to France.  He cooked her favorite foods, including the one
she liked the best, spinach.  To this day we use the term "Florentine" to
denote the use of spinach in a dish, thanks to Catherine and her chef. 
(Ok, some use it to denote the two-sword style, but that's in reference
to fencing, is it not?  Young duelers in the streets of Florence, with
two swords?  Fighting is really not my area, but food is!)
