[Sca-cooks] Gastronomica on Spice Trade, Apicius and Martino

[Sue Clemenger]

What do they say about the chili? I recently had someone tell me, in all

which apparently means that a creamy tomato soup (with chilis among the
seasonings) is thusly period.  Mind you, it was a *very* tasty soup....;o)
