In _Food and Drink in Medieval Poland_, a reference is made to an herb
that seems to have been imported from Hungary with the recipe for
sauerbraten; the herb is csombor.
A google search and some dictionary diving suggests to me that csombor is
probably the herb called savory. Does anyone on the list have Polish or
Hungarian expertise enough to verify or deny?
