[Sca-cooks] Noty or Notye

[Micheal]

 I am not convinced either actually. That it isn`t the same or a close 
cousin. I do know it did not have hazelnuts or leaves. Because my lady ate 
the dish and she is allergic to hazel nuts, and I suspect hazel leaves.
  But that was before I was doing my own redactions. The person may simply 
have replaced the hazels with walnuts. Along with removing the leaves as 
well.
