The early equivalent to aluminum foil was usually leaves and/or (clayish)
mud covering. Don't know when it started, but since it's found in many
cultures worldwide, I suspect it has been independently discovered a
zillion times.

: OK, I have some questions for everyone. The first is to settle a
: discussion a friend and I had a few weeks ago. We were discussing the
: ingredient sugar in period recipies. It occured to us that the first
: time we can recall hearing about sugar cane is in the New World,
: particularly in terms of rum production. Neither of us could think of
: any period reference for molassas or rum. So, we figured that the sugar
: being called for might be beet sugar. If we're right, then very late
: period might have used cane sugar, but not earlier periods. Does anyone
: know what is right?
:
: The second question goes back to the discussion on wrapping onions in
: aluminum foil and throwing them in the fire pit. That sounds wonderful,
: btw, and I can't wait to try it- I love onions :) I've been using the
: 'wrap it in foil, throw it in the coals and forget about it for a while'
: method of cooking for ages, and do it very well, if I must say so myself
: ;) But, I think it's a pretty safe bet that there was no reynolds wrap
: in the middle ages, so it's probably not a particularly period cooking
: method. So, lets spur a discussion on open pit cooking in other than
: the ubiquitous Dutch Oven.
