Kiri asked:
<<< On a similar but different topic....can anyone give me an idea of
whether or
not Scotch is period, at least in its antecedents? I have a scotch
flower
cordial that has turned out much better than I thought it would and
would
like to enter it in an upcoming competition. While I know I cannot
document the cordial itself, it would be great if I could at least
document
the ingredients. >>>
Perhaps this will help. Unfortunately, I didn't finish reading it so
I don't remember how much of it covers the time span before 1600.
Perhaps you can get from ILL.
