[Sca-cooks] Re: Vanilla was Castellan Feast, 2003

[johnna holloway]

Jadwiga's right in that Vanilla did not come into
common usuage until the 19th century, but vanilla was
known and used in the production of chocolate in the
17th century.

I did a long summary of research on vanilla back in January
of this year in answer to a thread and queries on MK-Cooks.
I sent the long version into Stefan for the Florilegium and maybe
one of these days the material will appear in that under vanilla.
