Usage notes
* A citation from Jehan Palsgrave's 1530 text Lesclarcissment de la langue françoyse'' reads "Calver of saulmon, ''escume de saulmon.''". This possibly refers to caviar. If this is the case it predates by some 61 years the earliest usage (1591) of caviar documented in the ''Oxford English Dictionary.
