- salmagundi (n.)
- 1670s, from French salmigondis, originally "seasoned salt meats" (cf. French salmis "salted meats"), from Middle French salmigondin, coined by Rabelais, of uncertain origin, but probably related to salomene "hodgepodge of meats or fish cooked in wine," (early 14c.), from Old French salemine.
