SC - quenelles again...

[CBlackwill at aol.com]

Hello list,

Just a quick question to ask: "did we ever find out if quenelles are period?" 
 I think Lord Ras put to rest the mousse question with his referrences, but I 
can't recall if anyone found a period reference to quenelles.  Any help?

By the way, for those who are interested...My illuminated cookbook is finally 
coming together, and will be ready for the internet within a month or so.  It 
is actually going along quite quickly.  I was not aware how much I remembered 
about calligraphy from junior high school.  The penmanship is not, of course, 
a masterwork, but it does look nice.  And, the illuminations I have picked 
out are quite complimentary.  The main thing I need now is:  A Title!  And, 
since this list has been a great help to me over the last few months, I was 
wondering if you folks would like to name it for me?  What do you think?  
Comments?  Sarcasm?

On the same topic, I have references to tempera paint being used in a number 
of period illuminations, and was wondering if this is the same egg-based 
paint we use today?  Anyone have any clue?

Mr. Wizard, what happens when you combine pasta and antipasta?
