[Sca-cooks] Ingredient Puzzles in al-Warraq

[David Friedman]

I've been thinking about what I could offer to teach at the next West 
Coast culinary symposium, and it occurred to me that one possibility 
would be the ingredient puzzles in al-Warraq and my attempts to solve 
them. I have two so far--baker's borax and samidh flour. What are they?

Are there other interesting puzzles along those lines that people have 
come across? Evidence to help solve them?
