[Sca-cooks] period marshmallow references?

[Stefan li Rous]

Adamantius responded to Duriel with:
<<< As for the marshmallow posts, it should be noted that marshmallow
lozenges, as in candies made from the mucilaginous juice of the marsh
mallow, do appear in late period and early post-period, and they do
have some historical significance. >>>

I've heard of this before, but not in even this much detail. And  
since the Florilegium is full of little, probably inconsequential,  
oddities,  I'd love to see more details on these marshmallow lozenges  
or references to them. Do we have any actual recipes or directions  
for these? Has anyone here actually tried to make these treats?

Thanks,
   Stefan
