Okay, this one I know.  A spice mixture, featuring mainly sugar.  From de
Nola (1529 edition):
Polvora Duque (Duke's Powder)
Cinnamon half an ounce; cloves half a quarter; and for lords only add
cinnamon, and a pound of sugar; if you wish it to have a sharp taste and
make it good for passions of the stomach add a little ginger.

I think it may also be in Llibre de Sent Sovi.  Anyone?  Master Thomas?
