[Sca-cooks] Rotten meat and spices...

[Terry Decker]

One of the problems I have with this entire debate is that the words; bad, 
off, tainted, spoiled, rotten, etc. are defined by subjective experience 
rather than objective measure.  Our usage of such words is with personally 
ascribed meaning inside a general definition.  We can only guess at the 
subjective usage of a person 500 hundred or more years dead.  My experience 
can position rough boundries for their using or not using not-so-fresh meat, 
but is not enough to determine gradiations within the range.
