A paste made from any combination of refried beans, left-over meats, tomatoes and crumbled cheese served with a patty made of cornflour (US: corn starch).
Sorbet. Water ice. Ice made from juice or purée of fruit and stirred as it freezes to provide a soft snow texture.
Monk’s beard. A thin, wild spring grass, a type of chicory, looking like a cross between samphire and tumbleweed, from northern Italy. It has a bitter flavour, bearing some relation in texture and taste to samphire, succulent and pleasantly resistant to the bite, and is eaten raw, blanched for seconds and dressed, or stewed in olive oil. It is also a useful addition to salads. It has a very short season which seems to be quite specifically five weeks in spring.
