[Sca-cooks] Is this really what it sounds like?

[Daniel Myers]

Was going through the ingredient list in Scully's "The Neapolitan Recipe
Collection" (Italian, ca. 1500) yesterday and came across a reference to
"fecatelli".  Now it was listed among things like "tripe" and "bladders"
and such, and I know enough latin that this sounds like something I
really don't want to be eating.  Anyone out there have a good dictionary
of Italian cooking terms?  Am I correct in assuming this is some kind of
dish made with the contents of an animal's digestive tract?
