Brangwayna gave us her redaction for the 13th century Anglo-Norman
ravioli:

> 1/2 lb ricotta 
> 1/4 lb butter
> 1 shallot, finely chopped
> 1/8 tsp ground sage
> “flowers” of 5 sprigs of parsley, finely chopped
> 
> Mix filling ingredients together, drop into cut wrappers and seal, then drop

Sounds interesting. Thank you for your redaction. The original recipe was
in my pasta-msg file, but I don't think I had a modern redaction.

But what is this last ingredient? Parsley flowers? Where would you get
this? Or is this some other kind of flowers combined with chopped parsley?
