[Sca-cooks] turpentine taste

Phlip commented:
I'm willing to bet there is
commentary about not using pine wood for a roasting
fire- I rather doubt Medeval people liked turpentine
flavored food any more than we do ;-)

To which Margali replied:
So how the hell do you explain Retsina wine?

Ummm, maybe the taste of the wine was/is just really bad
before the treatment? :-)

Or maybe the treatment helps the wine last longer and
turpentine tasting wine is better to drink than wine
gone bad or vinegar?
