Fritatis de pomeranciis is a dish recommended by Johannes Bockenheim in his Registrum coquine. A simple dish, it's easy to replicate (minus the fact that crops have constantly evolved through history in ways that are sometimes hard to replicate exactly). He recommends it for pimps and harlots - as to why, you will see...

INGREDIENTS
ova (3 eggs)
pomerancius (1 bitter orange or 1 orange mixed with 1/2 lemon’s juice)
zucarum (1 tablespoon sugar)
oleum olive (1 tablespoon olive oil)
[unmentioned] (salt to taste)
