Hmmm. Interesting. That makes me come up with a number of questions.
1) Did mint grow in medieval Europe? I'm assuming it did, but wanted
to verify. Because when I think of foods with mint, I think more of
the Middle East than Europe.
2) If mint was used in medieval European dishes, how was it generally
used? As decorative sprigs? Or added as the above mint water? Or
added along with a mix of other fresh herbs?
