[Sca-cooks] al-Hafla feast menu

[Terry Decker]

Sounds like something I would have enjoyed.  While the recipes may have been 
period, the butternut squash probably isn't.  Butternut squash is Cucurbita 
moschata and is a New World winter squash.  Additionally, the butternut 
squash was hybridized by the French botanist, Auguste Parmentier, in the 
18th Century.

Setting aside all the picky historical considrations, can you get the 
recipe?
