I'll post what I find out as I uncover it.  I am still unwilling to let go of 
my original belief that medieval cooks commonly substituted 
ingredients/spices/etc., but this time I will only post with an actual 
document to back it up.  It is my understanding, now, that the majority of 
this List requires "documentation" before they will entertain such a "far 
fetched" idea, and I can see why.  After reviewing my previous posts, I 
realize that I offered little, if any, actual documentation. I will correct 
this.  Please be patient, as I am obviously taking "the road less travelled 
by."  I' will, of course, expect heated (but not malevolent) discussion with 
each post.  Those who do not wish to entertain the idea, please pass by 
peacefully (I will tag the posts for easy recognition).
