[Sca-cooks] Summer is Here

Maire, again.
I'm wondering (since I'm thinking of the summer/hot weather foods for my
article) if medieval cooks, when considering the various humoral aspects
of the foods they were cooking with, had seasonal variations.  Did they,
for instance, recommend cool/wet things during hot days?  I've sure
noticed, over the years in modern America, that my diet preferences vary
greatly with the seasons, and it really doesn't have much to do with
food availability.  There are specific things I seem to intuitively
"crave" depending on the season....
Does this happen to anyone else, or am I completely weird about it? ;-D
