[Sca-cooks] lent, wine, indulgences, de Nola

[Carol Eskesen Smith]

Much too modern; wines were among the things permitted without restriction.

  So this month for my cooking column in Medieval History Magazine I'm
  writing about Lent.  For recipes, I'm giving them de Nola's Cazuela de
  Salmon and the chard recipe that mentions cheese if you have an
  indulgence.

  When I was wrapping up the article I found myself wanting to finish with
  a smart-ass comment about "This meal goes great with crusty bread and a
  nice white wine - assuming you've bought an indulgence for the wine!"
  but I realised I knew too little about indulgences to say that with
  confidence.

  So my question is, could you buy indulgences to let you drink wine
  during Lent?  Was it even restricted, or am I thinking too modernly
  about alcohol?

  Yours,

  Katherine
