[Sca-cooks] Cutting capons into 7ths, Chicken Ambrosino from Libro di cucina

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

fun stuff :)

you say: "it lists two pounds of almonds but in the cooking instructions first calls for “whole peeled 
almonds” to be added to the sautéed chicken and spices to be simmered, and then later for “un-skinned almonds” 
to be ground and tempered with vinegar"


what are the chances that "unskinned" actually means skins removed, as in "unmasked" means to take the mask 
off? it would be an easy flub for a translator (even a transcriptionist) to make and language is a funny 
subtle b*strd with a mean sense of humor sometimes... :)

have fun!
