SC - Orange Omelette - original recipe

[Philip & Susan Troy]

_To the Queen's Taste_ by Lorna J. Sass, has a few Elizabethan root veggie
recipes:

Lumbardy Tartes - diced red beets, currants and cheese baked in a pie
Pudding in a Turnep Root - turnips stuffed w/ apples and currants
Quelquechose - parsnips and marigolds in orange juice.

I have made the quelquechose and it is pretty tasty.  It's like
candied/sugared carrots in Peg Bracken's _I hate to cook_ book.
