Greetings, all.
My eagle eye spotted something...

> comes in big
Does this mean ginger ale or ginger beer are period, or am I
hopelessly misreading the sentence? Would anyone happen to have a
recipe for a period fermented ginger drink? I've never seen a reference to
it, but then my experience is fairly limited.
Many thanks, incidentally, to all the people who posted info or
mailed me about alternative names for cubebs and grains of paradise.
I have been rendering the lives of Indian spice shops hideous with
demands. So far no luck, but I did locate all the Latin names, which
helps.
