"and they are very good roasted on the coals and well cleaned and cut
small and with oil and salt and vinegar and with cinnamon it makes a
very fine salad, stirring it with some leaves of parsley and mint."

Am I right to assume that the spanish word "zanahorias" is used to refer to 
carrots?


In the 1607 libro del arte de cozina there is a recipe "Cap. xcviij. De tortada 
de cahanorias" (!). And another one: "Cap. xcix. De cahanorias rellenas".
