<< would like to learn
 more about NW Europe, specifically the western part of the British Isles
 (Ireland, Wales and Cornwall) in regards of cooking.
 I love oil which has been suffused with herbs.  Have attempted to make my
 own (I think I was too impatient) and use commercially produced ones a lot.
 
 Are they period?   >>

Well, not to disappoint you but it appears as if the lubricants of choice
based on extant recipes were as follows: British Isles, Northern France-
butter; Germany and Teutonic countries- lard; Italy, South France, Spain,
Portugal and the mid-east- olive oil. Of course, since I'm basing this on
memory, I could be wrong.
