Madhavi asked:
<<< I just finished reading the entire Anonymous Andalusian Cookbook
for the
second time, and I can't find a single reference to rice. No rice.
Whatsoever. How is that possible? Did they not eat rice? Did they only
eat their Buraniyyas and Tafayas with only bread? >>>
Yes, that isn't surprising. Rice didn't get to large parts of Europe
until late in period. I seem to remember 13th C. The Anonymous
Andalusian Cookbook is much earlier.
