Actually, it was a multi-purpose post.  I was replying to the suggestion that
"Chicken in Verjuice" is a mistranslation by giving the original plus Platina's
description of verjuice, and replying to the earlier question about whether
green plum verjuice is documentable in Platina.  I put in the original part
about Macrobius's definition of verjuice because I had to read it 3 times before
I was sure that the translation was correct.  Platina seems to be using mashed
unripe grapes interchangeably with verjuice.
