Huh? I had to double check this and verify that this message wasn't from
Drakey. :-)


> Phlip, you said you use rice wine vinegar. The brand I got was Nakano, seasoned rice vinegar...great, just typing in I noticed it wasn't rice WINE vinegar. Ever heard of it? Seems the only seasoning was a little sugar. Since I live out in God's country and am fairly well snowed in, I guess I'll try it and see. I really don't know a whole lot about wine or vinegar or fancy cooking or period cooking..but thanks to you guys, I'm trying and learning.

Perhaps these files in the FOOD section of the Florilegium might be of
interest, although since rice wine (and rice wine vinegar) seem to be Asian
use and origin, I don't know if the answer to your specific question can be
found here in these files.
