To my knowledge there are few recipes from the middle ages that list salt as
an ingredient. I am of the opinion that this does not mean it wasn't used but
rather that it was assumed that the cook would add it to taste. There are a
couple of instances where this idea is intimated in period text but ,
unfortunately the post to the list that spoke of this  seems to be lost in the
jumbled file called SCA-cooks. :-(

Does anyone recall what those references were or remember when/by whom they
were posted?
