SC - Saunders powder

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

Hi all from Anne-Marie 
Charles asks about saunders:
yes, its period, its called for as a food coloring agent in period sources.
It is powdered sandlewood. I have tried using it,and find that it imparts a
rather unpleasant dusty flavor, and not much color. Though the stuff I was
using was in a funky hippy "apothacary" store, and I think they intended I
burn it for incense, not eat it.
