I'd be really interested in seeing what you have in documentation.  Most of
the docs I have found used herbs as medicinals or in alcohol.  I'm working
my way through a book on Anglo saxon food and beverage.   The sejanjabin is
one, I know and what little I have found is mentioned in Arabic.

Thanks a great deal....
