Don't you find it's a bit odd that one is branded as a "rebel" if one 
deviates somewhat from "what's written"?  Isn't this a worry?  Maybe I'm 
just imagining things ...

Well, if you're talking south of you then yes, I'm WAAAAAAY south.  :)
Other than that my original cooking influences are pure French/English, with 
more recent branchings into Asian, Mexican, and any other cuisine I can 
lay my hands on.  Mediaeval's next, as soon as I get some good sources
(off to the Web, methinks).

As for the salt - I originally did it accidentally when a child, and mistook
salt for caster sugar.  After we washed the salt off and replaced it with 
sugar, my mother and I discovered that fruit salad tasted better than any
we'd ever known.  Then she discovered the joys of gingery and peppery melon
salad for Xmas ....

Why thank you!  That one's accidental ... I usually use another quote for 
my SCA stuff ... :)

Fyrean ...
