SC - Brining of meats in period

[Liam Fisher]

has onyone seen any evidence of brining meats (not pickling or marinating) 
before cooking in period? It's just a technique I've been experimenting with 
as of late that works well with old tom turkeys and tougher cuts of meat 
where you soak the meat in a decently strong salt/sugar solution overnight 
(not a technique that I recommend if you are salt/sugar sensitive) and then 
roast the meat the next day.  I also brine turkeys sometimes when they won't 
entirely thawed by the time I want to cook them.
