[Sca-cooks] 14th c. Cawl recipe?

[Deborah Hammons]

I think that the claim refers to the word cawl and not the dish cawl.  If I
remember right from the research I did many moons ago for a "celtic" feast,
it was supposed to be the  welsh word for cabbage.  Out of period cookbooks
just refer to cawl as any broth based soup.  Kind of a left over thing.
Cailte might have a better explanation.
