Farinata, also known as torta di ceci (chickpea pie), socca, cinque cinque, and other names, allegedly has a medieval origin, according to this Reuters story:

I'm a little dubious about that origin story, but hey, whatever.
(I found the discussion of socca/farinata/panelle in the Florilegium, by the way!)
It does make wonder how baking up a few cookie sheets of farinata would go over for a dayboard (especially made savory with onion and rosemary).
Yum.
