[johnna holloway]

We spent a great deal of time on this subject last summer.
Those interested might want to read the postings under the topic
Re: Period Ices/Sorbets/Cold Treats?  in the archives
for the list from last July and August.
You can tell the archive to arrange the messages by
subject.

Also check the florilegium, as I am sure some if not all
of the various important points made their way into it.
