Me neither. But I notice that in the online translation, Le Menagier
says in at least one place, 'serve with cameline' not 'serve with cameline
sauce'. I'm assuming the author either didn't do his homework or got asked
by the editor at the last minute to define 'cameline' and just stuck in
the first, most common definition. His other comments seem to be somewhat
more clueful than that one!
