[Sca-cooks] Compost (no, not the garden stuff!)

[Vincent Cuenca]

I've been nosing around, researching compost recipes for an article.  I've 
checked the Florilegium and found the ones from Le Menagier de Paris and 
Curye on Inglysch, and references to others in Apicius and in German 
sources.  I've also found one in Manuscript UB Gent 1035, "Wel ende edelike 
spijse", one in the "Anonimo Veneziano", and one in the "Llibre de Totes 
Maneres de Confits".  In checking the German sources on the Internet, the 
only compost recipe I've found is one for cherries, in (I think) Sabina 
Welserin.  I'm not even sure where to begin in Apicius.

Does anyone have information on the German recipes, and where to find the 
Apician version?

Thanks,

Vicente
