We have had some similar discussions here in the past. I can't remember if
this exact question was brought up or not. Either way, you might find these
two files in the FOOD section of my Florilegium to be a help:
flour-msg (46K) 4/ 7/99 Types of flour. Sources. Period flour.
pasta-msg (65K) 8/26/98 Period pasta. Period referances. Recipes.
