Saxons held the area we know as Hungary then? I thought just northern
Germany and parts of England. Time to go check those atlases.

Are you saying that the use of bird fat was common to the non-Jewish
folks also? I guess I just hadn't noticed this in the recipes I've
looked at. 

Is the use of chicken kosher then? If this is the case I could see
where they might use more chicken fat since other folks might well
have been using pig fat. What about goose fat, then? Is this a
kosher item?
