He calls it "Supremo de carne o hamburgesa andalusi" not
'albondiga'. He does distinguish the two terms clearly in his books.

Who is "Benavides-Barajas"? I don't think I remember his works
being discussed here before.
L. Benavides-Barajas is a Spanish specialist in historical gastronomy.
He has contributed to several European magazines, gastronomy guide books
and cookery books such as the second edition of "Dinner Party Book" and
"Let's Lunch in London" by Corrine Streich. Also he has written for La
Cronica de Granada, The Reporter and the Daily Telegraph. In Spain he is
known for his publications such as "Nueva-Clasica Andalusi", "La
Alhambra," "Los mozárabes y muladies," "Al-Andalus, la cocina y su
historia" and other historical cookery books on various areas in
Al-Andalus. He provides historical information and recipes some of
which are obviously modernized versions of Huici's Spanish translation
of the 13th C Hispano-Arabic manuscript. His work is interesting and
informative but as indicated he looses credibility for his failure to
cite his sources.
