Martino has marzipan-stuff fava beans - the bean is carefully removed from its skin and replaced with marzipan. 

Sort of like those "lima beans" you made, Selene, for a lima-hating Duchess we know.

Subject: [Sca-cooks] A question about dates and marzipan




Is there any textual evidence for almond- or marzipan-stuffed dates in period?  
I've run across a modern reference to them as a "traditional Scottish treat" 
(for what that's worth), but it got me to wondering.
