I mean adding flavorings.  I believe I summarized one or two at the end 
of the post that is in the Florilegium file.  I didn't post my 
translation of that section, because I didn't do one.  Very often, if a 
topic is being discussed on the list, I'll just take a quick look in 
some of the Spanish sources, and see if they contain anything relevant.  
I read the text in Spanish, and look up words don't know, but I don't 
always take the time to write out a translation.
