[Sca-cooks] List of period sausage recipes

[Stefan li Rous]

Maire gave her 2 pence worth of comments about the questions I asked 
about a listing of period sausage recipes and then commented:

This is the kind of thing I often struggle with when deciding how and 
where as well as how to name the files in the Florilegium. Although I 
have both vegetarian and meat based haggis recipes in the haggis-msg 
file, the file is in the FOOD-MEATS section because I suspect most 
people will look for it there.

Thank you for the comments on the puddings. I do indeed have both sweet 
and meat based puddings in the puddings-msg file. Perhaps when it grows 
up I need to split off some of it into a meat-puddings-msg file or 
puddings-msg and puddings-savory-msg files.
