dill is quoted in the anglo saxon Aelfric Bata's Colloqquy
and that makes it authentic to the 950 AD in England A brilliant set of books for the
really early stuff
are Ann HAgen's Anglo Saxon Food and drink.
roduction and distribution ISBN 1-898281-12-2
and Anglo Saxon Food and DrinkProcessing and Consumption. Isbn0-9516209-8-3
The Victorian Kitchen Garden book I mentioned Earlier quotes from a 1629 Paradisi in sole, paradisus
terrestris  and the 1767 Every man his own gardener.
Hot bedding would have been a nessecity prior to the removal of glass tax which freed up glass for green houses in this counrty.
I should have put Could instead of Would about the beds. Sorry.
I am not much use with  21st Century technology....leave me cooking over an open fire with a couple of kitchen helpers and I am fine.
Someone asked me to change the setting on this demon in a box....sorry the demon tamer is
away at the moment and I am not permitted to play with the controls on the grounds that I break it far tooo often.
Hope the above information helps
