SC - wedding menu help (florilegium)

[Stefan li Rous]

Helen suggested some items for wedding buffet that Kat is doing. For those who
might be interested in some more info on some of these items, I thought I'd
mention some of the Florilegium files that go with these suggestions:
> I love quinces and they are considered a "lucky thing" for weddings to insure
> happiness. Even if just decorations.

fruit-quinces-msg (26K)  4/ 9/99    Period uses and recipes for quinces.

> Candied almonds represent the bitter and sweet of married life.

nuts-msg          (60K)  4/ 2/99    Nuts, acorns, nut flours in medieval foods.
