From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Taste, Containing Over Two Hundred Recipes For Italian Dishes from a project that puts out-of-copyright texts into the public domain.

This is from a very old source, and reflects the cooking at the turn of the last century.

This is not a cookbook, it is an encyclopedia. While this article is fine (and could use more information), we don't include recipes for dishes, unless it is very public domain and simple: like how to mix a screwdriver. I beleive there is some Wikibook for recipes, but I don't have the energy to look for it. If someone finds it, the recipe above can be added to it. — Frecklefoot | Talk 19:28, Jun 14, 2005 (UT

Removed, following the Roman army reference:

"This seems unlikely as beans originated in the Americas. Beans were not introduced into Europe until many centuries later."

I have no idea what the Roman army marched on, but beans were known in the ancient Mediterranean... at least well enough for the Pythagoreans to make eating them a taboo! The American species isn't the only one around.
