[Sca-cooks] celtic// beignet

[Decker, Terry D.]

I don't know Olwen's source, but the entry is similar to that of The
American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition from
Houghton Mifflin Co.

Olwen--
Do you have any idea as to
what the source is for the definition that
includes the "Celtic" origin listed below
in your original post?  If you'll post it
or send it to me, I'll do some more libarian
sleuthing. Thanks.
