[Sca-cooks] pickled meat

[Phil Troy/ G. Tacitus Adamantius]

Also sprach Carper, Rachel:
>Thank you. Now I have another question. OK 2. Your recipe for
>Sekanjabin says take a ratl of strong vinegar. What is a ratl? And
>when I enter my vinegar in competition I plan to make Sikanjabin out
>of it for the judges to taste. May I use your miscellany as a
>reference? (I am both asking permission and if the judges would
>accept it.)

While I certainly urge HG Cariadoc to respond to this in his own way,
I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about documentation, and couldn't
resist becoming involved in this one.

My suggestion is to look at the attribution in Cariadoc's Miscellany.
Since we can be reasonably sure (in this case) that Cariadoc would
quote a primary, or as close to a primary as possible, source, your
best bet when documenting sekanjabin, or anything, would be to do the
same. Check his recipe in the Miscellany and see what source he is
quoting; you may be able to get more information from the
bibliography.

As for permission, and I'm speaking generally here, again, a proper
attribution goes a long way.

Adamantius
