[Sca-cooks] Dishes Named for People

[David Walddon]

Juanna, 
I hope you are compiling and will share back a comprehensive list. 
So much fun. 

I am wondering if there are any in the Med. Ren. Corpus. Platina says tons about so and so liking such and such a dish but I do not think any are named after someone. 
Roman this and Sicilian that but people? I don't think. 
Are there not some in Apicius? 

Eduardo

I'm not looking for dishes named for occupations, like Chicken Caccatore (sp?), or named for the cook who invented or popularized a dish. The idea is more of renown through the culinary arts, i.e. a person is well know for some accomplishment and they are honored by having a food named for them. I would appreciate any suggestions (not necessarily period) for this listing.
