Thank you.  Nola's recipe for roast cat says to whip it with green 
twigs while it is roasting.  Colman Andrews (the leading modern 
writer on Catalan cooking) suggests that this may have been 
bundles of herbs.  I had a notion I'd seen something similar in 
period recipes.  Having a specific reference is very helpful.
