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...
