I also asked him about this(rancid meat) and below is his reply.

Thanks you for your email and glad you enjoyed the article.  About rancid meat, of course you are correct in that today we know that rancid meat should not be eaten.  Alas, many historical references indicate that well until the 18th century about half of the meat consumed in Europe and the Middle-East was eaten rancid.  That is the reason that so many spices and herbs were used - in order to hide that.  That many people were taken ill because of this, and some even died, is also well documented.

Best wishes,

Rogov

I just read your article on Crusader Foods.  I enjoyed most of it a great deal, but  the last paragraph.  I can not believe you propagate that old fairy tale about the meat being eaten rancid.  It did not happen.  There are many warnings in medical and cook books telling people not to eat bad meat.
