[Sca-cooks] Eating wild plants -- garlic mustard

[emilio szabo]

Another passage from a late 16th century herbal says, that the cooks use the leaves to make condimenta _for_ salted fishes ("fanno i cuochi con le sue frondi le salse, & i condimenti per i pesci salati"). The _cum_ in Dodoens is somewhat ambiguous to me, it can mean that the condiment is used with the salted fishes or it can be understood to mean that the salted fishes are part of the preparation of the condiment and are crushed together with the leaves.

Perhaps others can comment.
