OK, spill the fava beans... which ones are "Muslim Sicilian"? I've
been trying to create some kind of Medieval Sicilian feast for awhile
and this would be useful.

Ooh, ooh, cool. I ordered a copy of de Nola from a Spanish book
vendor on-line and await its delivery - probably not for at least
another month. Then i'll have to get a Spanish dictionary - and may
learn a bit about declining Spanish verbs :-)
More information on Scappi, please.

I'm hoping to be able to do one of these this year because it seemed
like the recipes i saw in Santich's book "Original Mediterranean
Cookbook" as well as your commentary on those you've posted to the
list indicated that they often related.
