Greetings! You still may want to look more carefully at the entries,
especially if they will be part of a book. As mentioned earlier, while
the title is "Spanish Food of the Middle Ages", there don't seem to be
citations from cookery books of that time. For example, "As the hoopoe
is 7 1/2" or 15 cm long it was served with "small birds" at banquets."
Does any Spanish cookery book from the Middle Ages actually give the
name "abubilla" in one of the recipes? Or, was it just mentioned as a
medicinal food (which to me is not the same as something one would
regularly eat).
What Spanish recipe includes "acerola" or hawthorn? Is the hawthorn
really on the Tudor princes' coats of arms? I couldn't find any
example. Could you point us to one? It's not that the information
wouldn't be useful, but reading the entries raises more questions for me
than it does answers. Sorry to be so picky...
Alys K.
