SC - Royal declared chocolate period

[LrdRas@aol.com]

The translated recipe in The Andalusian Cookbook, 'Another Kind of Flank', pg,
A-5, vol. II of Cariadoc's 'Collection  of.......', describes what is
obviously a stuffed lamb's breast not a flank. (The translator acknowledges
this in the footnote).

In the same recipe this line occurs:

'...enclose it in a tannur; place under it an earthen pot in which what melts
from the flank can drip...'.

Am I correct in assuming that this word 'tannur', which was left untranslated
and unfootnoted, was some kind of a grate or vessel with holes in the bottom
through which the grease could drip? Would a redaction calling for the stuffed
breast to be put in a roasting pan on a raised grate be somewhat accurate?
