sca-cooks Sources for Pe

There are several.

I've had the best experiance with the East Kingdom Pepperer's Guild. This
has been at Pennsic though. I haven't tried them through mail order yet.
I don't believe they have a minimum order which is why I've not used
the others.

You can find a number of spice merchants and reviews of them in this
file in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section of my SCA Rialto Files:
spices-msg        (32K)  2/28/97    Info. on spices, sources for spices.

Contact info for each of the places can be found in this file also.
