[Sca-cooks] Vegetables and are you all still there?

[David Walddon]

If you do find the reference can you forward it to me please.

I am working on a paper on the vegetable "recipes" in the first five  
books of De Honesta and I have not come across that one.
It may be a comment or an additional recipe added into the second  
half of the book. If that is the case it would be a good reference,  
but not something I would be concerned about for this paper.

Oh wait I think I found it.

It is in BK VII entry 41 (second half of the book) "When rape is  
washed well and cut in pieces, cook down the best way, in some rich  
broth. When they are cooked and mashed, put them near the fire again  
with better broth than before if it can be done, and with a piece of  
pork , pepper and saffron. When it comes to a boil take it off and  
serve to your guests."
