Oh? (Stefan's ears perk up)
Do you perhaps have a copy of this documentation in electronic form?
I'm wondering if that might not make a good article for the
Florilegium. Often A&S documentation will, if it can stand alone
without the actual exhibit.
Once upon a time we had a discussion of whether medieval folks ate
raw fruits and vegetables and folks did come up with some evidence of
them eating these in period, although the evidence is slim since it
is one of those things you really don't need a recipe for. Anyway,
even if the material won't work as an stand-alone article perhaps it
would be a good addition to this file:

vegetables were

I do wonder about eating raw parsnips. How well did those go over, or
did you not have samples of these in your display?
