Aha!  I knew I should have looked there first!  Bad cooking apprentice!  No
rosquillas for you! :-)

Actually, what I'm doing is tracking down things for this bedratted
confectioner's manual.  The work mentions small oranges, quinces, lemons,
peaches, apples and Genovese cherries, among other things.  I'd like to be
able to narrow down the varieties a bit.  I'm guessing they weren't growing
Bing cherries in Genoa in 1450, so what kind were they?  That's what I gotta
figure out.

Thanks, Akim!

To the Florilegium!
