Looks like you're right. The index directed me to that page, and I
went with the first one I saw that looked right. I'm a little unclear
as to "tyro" referring to cheese, but the patinum part seems pretty
clear. Yes, either a dish of cheesy stuff, or a dish of curdled stuff?

Both would seem to be simply sat on ashes or embers or some other low
heat source, uncovered, and cooked until set, a pretty standard
method for patinae of all types.

Anthimus has some steamed dishes, though...
