Well, I'm glad you did.  You may have noticed that this list generates a lot 
of traffic.  I've gotten way behind and have spent most of my list reading 
time the last three weeks simply culling out what appears to be stuff I 
don't care about, based on the subject line or my opinion after reading a 
few posts.  I may or may not ever see the message you complained no one 
responded to.

It's a fun and feisty group. Almost anything important I know about medeival 
food I can trace back to this list--directly or by following up on what 
appeared her or by wandering through Stefan's Florilegium or Cariadoc's 
Miscellany. Somebody did tell you about those, right?

The Florilegium is Stefan Li Rous best attempt to archive in a searchable 
way information that comes across this list, as well as several other lists. 
  You can spend quite a lot of time wandering through it at 
http://florilegium.org.

The Miscellany is a book Cariadoc has published containing much useful 
stuff, culinary and otherwise.  He sells hard copy of it reasonably cheaply, 
info is on the website, along with info re: other research material he has 
made available.  The miscelany is at 
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/miscellany.html   and it links to the 
medieval and rennaisance food homepage at
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/food.html

So, feel welcome yet?  Ask any question you like, someone or a dozen will 
answer it.  The answer may grow into a 'discussion' bigger than you, and you 
should not take it personally but just read and evaluate.

Bonne
