Well, my first thought was that someone ought to write them and clue 
them in to some of the sources for cubebs and grains of paradise for 
their meal. However, as I got to thinking about it, I think the items 
in parenthesis are not meant to say the items are the same as the items 
in parenthesis, but that those are reasonable substitutions for those, 
at home, who don't know where to find these exotic spices or want to 
try some medieval foods without trying to track down the special spices 
first. I think they are a reasonable substitute with that in mind. I 
haven't been to the site yet, so it is also possible that the site 
could use some further explanation.
