SC - Re: compost

[ChannonM@aol.com]

I have discussed this with some of my friends, and we think it refers to wild strawberries, what we in Sweden call smultron.
I think modern strawberries is some kind of crossbreed between American and European strawberries.

Take Strawberys, & Waysshe hem in tyme of yere in gode red wyne; þan strayne
þorwe a cloþe, & do hem in a potte with gode Almaunde mylke, a-lay it with
Amyndoun oþer with þe flowre of Rys, & make it chargeaunt and lat it boyle,
and do þer-in Roysonys of coraunce, Safroun, Pepir, Sugre grete plente,
