I totally agree. But based on the other stuff they are serving and stating
were from the "period" because of the chemical ingredients found, I just
can't hardly believe they would "muck" it up by including something they
don't have basis for. Not when they have gone to the trouble of deciding if
**black pepper** could be used or not. If they were so casual about it they
could use it and say it was the other, rather than going to all the trouble
of using regional spices. See what I mean? And Patrick McGovern is known in
his field. This would be putting his rep on line too, even if only a minimal
amount of rep. So, this is why I sent the email. My first reaction is that
perhaps the response will be something like something with the chemical
breakdown of chocolate was found. And a friend of mine has suggested that
perhaps chocolate as an ingredient was known during the time of Midas, and
then lost in history again thereafter to be rediscovered in late period.
