I'm getting through it, though! (And that is also why I didn't bother
trying to do any of the redactions and/or menus.)

	Anyone else have any indications this may mean shredded, as in
the pulled pork example cited by Sir Gunthar?

	This one I wonder about. I do know some regions did have cold
houses with ice packed in straw for use during the spring and summer,
but was this or some other method actually used for refrigeration of
such foods and/or making them cold (as in refrigerated)? I had thought
it meant the fish was to be served after it had cooled-off to room
temperature. As in "Eat your fish before it gets cold!". :-)

>7. Vinegar and verjuice can be used interchangeably for a light fish sauce.
