[Sca-cooks] Interesting medieval food article

[kattratt]

Anybody think this might be a Christian teaching rollover?  
Remember the Romans were paid in Salt....  No I don't have documentation 
I remember being taught that from the Bible in Church but don't remember 
specifics and yes I could grab my King James over there and look it up 
but I still have 161 emails to go... (I think I got double messages...)
Just food for thought
Oooh wait I got another one...
Just trying to spice up the conversation...
Make mine a cub snadwich.
