Dear Crecentia
    As a semi vegiterian married to a completely veggie man, I am
impressed with the reseach and the talk lately reguarding the tofu. Could
you please list the "real years" instead of the dynasty names. It might be
interesting to figure out how to incorperate tofu into the life of 13th
century Spain. I think that it would be wonderful if there were more
choices of nonmeat dishes at feasts. I am almost embarssed to keep asking
what's in this or were any pork products used to make this dish.  So
please continue to do the good work of listing ideas about nonmeat  amin
course and such.
   Sincerely,         Isabeau de Murcia
