Interesting. Thanks.

sigh. That was what I was going to ask for. But at least we have 
(Granado, 1599) to work from. I would like to see the original if
someone has it.

How would you class these? By shape I might say "donut" but they
aren't fried or baked. I don't know of any modern boiled donuts. And
the boiling would make the texture different.

Or is this more of a pretzel? Or maybe a bagel? 

What kind of file would you look for this kind of dish in?
