Salmagundi,

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 9: Bound to Swansea, p. 111

Salmagundi, a word of uncertain origin, unless it be derived from the Countess Salmagondi, lady of honour to Marie de' Medici and the inventor of the dish; for salmagundi is a dish of minced meat, seasoned with pickled cabbage, eggs, anchovies, olive-oil, vinegar, pepper, and similar ingredients. In an applied sense the word means a pot-pourri, a medley, a miscellany.
