Of course you can, if you want to. But we were talking about a magazine
article which was supposed to be about medieval European foods and which
included soy sauce amongst the ingredients of one of the "medieval-style"
recipes which accompanied the article. Hence my original comment.
Personally, I don't like "SCA ways of getting around the facts" - what I want
is the facts, not excuses to eat what I like in the mundane world.
