[Sca-cooks] mead

[Susan Fox]

It's ALL alcohol.  No, "The Thirteenth Warrior" was wrong, honey counts 
too.  Makes me wanna kick Dr. Crichton in his dead hiney and the 
filmmakers too, sometimes.

That particular pellitory honey-water must have had to be made up fresh 
every time, to prevent fermentation... unless some naughty person did it 
on purpose of course.   I have no experience with the plant pellitory, 
but from the description it sounds like they are using it as a 
counter-irritant, a distraction, as clove oil is also used for toothache.

My observations only, etc.
