[Sca-cooks] turtle meat source and period turtle meat recipes

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Thanks, Johnnae. The main additional one seems  to be the Neapolitan.

Otherwise one of the false positives is still  interesting:

"Chicken for Those Suffering from Consumption. Raise  seperately a dozen 
male chickens, whose only feed will consist of the finest  meat of freshwater 
tortoise(turtle) : "

I don't know that I've ever seen  chickens fed any meat in our time, much 
less turtle meat.

Otherwise, if  Stefan is going to expand his turtle entry with these latest 
finds, note that  Estienne continues his text with this note: "the most 
unique and of the greatest  flavor and demand is that called nemoral, and which 
makes its nest in the woods,  riches of the regions of Provence and 
Languedoc."

Nemoral, for you  Scrabble players, means, "of, relating to, or inhabiting 
a wood or  grove."
