I transcribed the text as written, but remember that 'u' and 'v' are often
used interchangeably in old manuscripts.  I would interpret this as
"peverata", which looks a great deal like the Spanish "pebrata" (pepper
sauce).

Okay.  When I get home.  You and Margali, and the other lady who posted this
morning.  Then I am declaring the birthday list closed.

I don't mean to sound cranky, but I want to forestall a flood of menu
requests.  In addition to posting the menus I've promised, I will repost the
URL of the book, and the page numbers for the beginning of each month.  Then
folks can look for themselves.
