warning: Librarian bad attitude ahead:

C. Ann Wilson's _Food and Drink in Britain_, Bridget Henisch's _Fast and 
Feast: Food in Medieval Society_, and Gies & Gies' _Life in a Medieval 
Village_ and _Life in a Medieval Castle_ are all easily available, 
valuable secondary/tertiary sources. Once you have read the texts, you 
can decide for yourself whether to trust them.

I don't know about Johnnae, but as a Librarian who is on a lot of lists, 
I'm finding it increasingly frustrating to provide information on a 
topic when others are not remotely familiar with background reading on 
the period, and apparently not willing to follow up on pointers by 
going to look at the books. Maybe I'm burning out, or maybe it's the 
whole attitude adjustment thing.
