likely spelling error

5< ModL Culicidae, name of the family < L culex (gen. culicis): see CULEX6 of the mosquito family
n.
a mosquito

"Perhaps the most important method for preserving eggs is the one that produces pidan, or eggs coated on the outside. Depending
on preference, methods may be modified to produce songhuadan (pine floral eggs) or caidan (colourful eggs). The earliest known
description of an egg preservation method is that of Wang Zizhen during the Ming Dynasty about 500 years ago. Blunt and Wang
described an essentially similar method in 1918:"

radicchio
Definition: [rah-DEE-kee-oh] This
red-leafed Italian chicory is most
often used as a salad green. There
are several varieties of radicchio, but
the two most widely available in the
United States are Verona and Treviso.
The radicchio di Verona has
burgundy-red leaves with white ribs.
It grows in a small, loose head similar to butterhead
lettuce. The leaves of radicchio di Treviso are
narrow and pointed and form tighter, more tapered
heads. They also have white ribs but can range in
color from pink to dark red. Other radicchio varieties
have variegated or speckled leaves in beautiful shades
of pink, red and green. All radicchios have tender but
firm leaves with a slightly bitter flavor. Radicchio is
available year-round, with a peak season from
midwinter to early spring. Choose heads that have
crisp, full-colored leaves with no sign of browning.
Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a
week. Besides being used in salads, radicchio may
also be cooked by grilling, sautéing or baking.

Lebkuchen (see six posts above if viewing in flat mode)
or, more directly, German for "things cooked with life" - zest? spicy for that reason?

Dear wofahulicodoc: My residual German is not good enough to tackle German etymology.
Maybe wsieber or belligerentyouth could answer that one.
Incidentally, I still remember "zest" from Boswell's offering some orange peel to fellow diner.

The citrus rind is probably the original and concrete meaning of "zest," lending spice to an otherwise bland and uninteresting dish. (a tip o' the hat to W S Gilbert)
It is the orange part of the rind only, very thinly sliced so as to avoid the white pulpy part beneath, which is quite bitter. (Or the yellow part, if it's lemon zest.)

Well, thalassocracy is tolerably common as a description of the Minoan empire of ancient Crete, which is supposed to have ruled the other islands in the Aegean.
