[Sca-cooks] Markham was Jam (was Medieval Questionnaire)

[Johnna Holloway]

But Markham is anything but late 17th century.
It first appears in 1615. We use and cite the edition from 1631
largely because we are using the McGill-Queens University Press
edition edited by Michael Best and he used the 1631as his copy-text.
