Agreed. And your point being? My observation was intended to support the
observation that the concept of using spices in vast quantities to cover the
taste of rot is in itself 'rot'. A sheep for 20 people today would probably
not get eaten all at once. In the MA, it would have.

I fail to see what you're getting at.
