My memory is failing me.  I was thinking the Dembinska
book and thinking it was something else than what it
is.  Sigh.  Anyone know where I can buy a better
memory?

However, Dembinska does say that there was a cookbook
that was printed in Polish in the mid-1500's, but
implies that it was a translation.  But even a
translation can give you hints as to what might have
been made.  The earliest original cookbook she says is
from the 1680's, and while it was published oop, also
can give some hints as to what might have been made
earlier.

Sorry about the mix-up.
