 >> has got to be one of the most ludicrous articles ever written about 
food in the Middle Ages. Obviously Mr. Hoffman has not bothered to 
research the subject. If he had read C.B. Hieatt, or C. Woolgar or any 
of the number of excellent books by C. Anne Wilson or T. Scully, he 
would realize that food was not all rancid, food preservation was highly 
developed, etc., etc.
 >> As a librarian I am appalled that you would post such an article as a
researched article by an "award winning author."
