That's what I thought. Pickled things and radishes and something else (but
not, if I recall, cheese) were mentioend as things that you set out for
visitors in the Domostroi. 

More platina question: would he approve of sour, pickled things at the
beginning of the meal? My notion of the humors suggests so, but I don't
have a copy of platina (or rather I do, but it disappeared on the way home
from the evetn I bought it at)
