HERB - Fw: SC - eastern european stuff

[Philippa Alderton]

Well, folks, one of the members of the Cook's List (and this List) has gone
Xmas wonky, but considering our recent, ongoing thread about Xmas gifts of
an herbal nature, Im looking for some input on using any large quantity of
aromatic spice in a (preferably period, but not necessarily) construction.
Ideas, kids?

Consistancy is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
