[Sca-cooks] Re: Curry spices & rancid meat

[johnna holloway]

Actually when I copied this out last night, I failed to catch
the error in the title which Arndt published in her article.
The book's title is THE ENGLISHMAN'S FOOD: A HISTORY OF FIVE
CENTURIES OF ENGLISH DIET.  J.C. Drummond is the first author
with Anne Wilbraham credited as second author.  It appeared
originally in 1939, then in 1940, was revised in 1957, then
reprinted in 1969, 1991, 1994. Dorothy Hollingsworth was
added as an author when the revision appeared in 1957.
Drummond is a standard common enough work that people in
articles tend to just cite as Drummond. I always thought it
was better on the 18th century material than the earlier
centuries.
 Hope this clears up the citation.
