gave me a Strawberry sauce recipe:  "Harleian MS. 279 - Potage Dyvers and useful
& interesting information!

Thanks Cindy,

I just wanted to say thanks and ask questions in respect of the strawberry
sauce.

"point it with Vinegar, & a little white grease put thereto; color it with
Alkanet, & drop it
about,"  OK what is alkanet, what does it mean to "point" it with vinegar . . .
& "drop it about" means what exactly?

Also, if I did wish to use it as a sauce, do you know what would it be served
with in period.  Ie would it have been served with meat (chicken for example) or
would it only have been served as a sort of dessert?

Thanks again,
Lorix
