[Sca-cooks] "The Best Stews in the World"

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Having looked a bit further at one of the sources I found in researching  
"cansalada", I realized it includes at least one other period dish:

The  Best Stews in the World: 300 Satisfying One-Dish Dinners, from Chilis 
and Gumbos  to Curries and Cassoulet

page&q&f=false) 

Plus  references to older versions of some of the others.
 
Opinions may vary on accuracy; I would certainly like to know Wright's  
basis for saying "cansalada" was dried beef (not saying it wasn't at one point, 
 just that I have seen no other evidence to that effect). Still some of the 
 recipes here might be of interest.
