[Sca-cooks] Rotten meat and spices... (a few excerpts from Apicius)

[Huette von Ahrens]

This is a start ... Ordinances that state one cannot sell spoiled meat or old food.  Can you
find ordinances that state you cannot sell spoiled meat or old food that have been covered in 
spices?  That would be the next step.  Or find ordinances that state you cannot serve
spoiled meat or old food for people to eat?  That would be the best proof.
