>
>wesels - Liber Cure Cocorum #129, "For wesels". It's a capon-neck sausage
>or small haggis-like dish, but what does the name come from?

Wesel is an obsolete form of weasel.  It's also a German city, one of the
Hanseatic League.  So, it is possible that, these resemble a weasel or
originate in Wesel.

>
>storve - a verb - same source #127 "Storve myed wastel with cold ale"
>
>Cindy

Storve is an obsolete form of starve.  I suspect that in this case the word
is being used to mean meager or poor.
