[Sca-cooks] Spices was licorice,

[Ron Carnegie]

    Sorry, when I reread the excerpt of my email I realized I had written in
a confusing fashion.  I had returned to the original subject, but had not
made that clear!  The list I was referring to as doubtful was the list of
locations on the spice merchant pages I had just read.  I wasn't doubting
your sources I was putting doubt upon mine!

   No if saffron can be grown in Ireland I would think, though I am no
botanist, that it would grow in England as well.

Sorry for the confusion
