 Thank you Cindy.  These are very, very helpful.  I will have to get my hands 
 on these.  I knew I wasn't the only one who knew medieval cooks made 
 substitutions.

What you know is how medieval cooks made substitutions in this recipe only. I 
still fail to see how this can be a blanket justification for substitutions 
in any other recipe that does not specifically state that one is allowed.
