Cola Flora
I've been searching for a few days now, but haven't found what Cola Flora
is. As in "then take Cola Flora, and wash it clean, and parboil it very well." My only guess (based on the sound) is cauliflower but it sound horrible in a chicken soup. Any better suggestions? -- Old time cookery and brewing: theoldecookerybook.com -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service ------->>>>>>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

What vintage is your quotation? The OED gives as forms since 1597: colieflorie, cole-flory, -florie, coly-flory, coley-florey, colliflory, coleflower, colly-flowre, coly-, cauly-, caully-, cawly-flower, collyflower, colliflower. |
