[Sca-cooks] No Sugar in 10th Century??

[Decker, Terry D.]

I would not expect a scribe to eat the food addressed in the recipes or use
a great deal of imported spices when cooking at home and, for the most part,
I would expect much of the scribe's cooking to be done by female siblings,
wives, SOs, or taverns.

Considering some of the "home cooked" meals I've come across, they might
have gone hungry at home out of a sense of survival.
