Actually, I think you are interpreting the data incorrectly.  It would be 
quite a laborious task to list all of the possible substitutions for each and 
every dish, so I believe that the medieval cook, like the modern cook, merely 
listed those which popped readily to mind.  But, you can choose to look at 
the information any way you see fit. If you feel these were the only 
ingredients the cook felt were appropriate to the dish, then that's your 
opinion.  I, however, am of a different one.
