[Sca-cooks] totally confused marbled, caulifowered, leaded???

[Galefridus Peregrinus]

I saw something that leads me to believe that isfidaj might be used as a 
generic word for white things/ingredients. That would explain how it 
might be translated as cauliflower, a white vegetable. I do not have the 
source with me right now, but it was something I saw in al-Warraq. I'll 
try to chase it down tonight.
