[Sca-cooks] Scappi

[Susan Fox-Davis]

I know Italian food but precious little of the Italian language.
Could you folks who are reading Scappi be on the look-out
for these favorites, or their ancestors:

Bagna Calda [Frequently cited as a "16th Century Christmas Dish" but
I've never managed to document it]
Pesto Sauce  [Aresty cites Scappi for this, but goodness only knows how
the original actually read!]

Thanks,
