True Sandalwood, Santalum albumm -- sometimes called White Sandalwood
-- although it is more of a very pale tannish yellow color -- is not
considered safe to eat. This is the sandalwood with the lovely
fragrance.
What i usually see called for in SCA period recipes is Red Sandalwood
/ Red Sanders / Red Saunders, Pterocarpus santalinus. This had little
flavor but adds an interesting warm red color to dishes.
I don't want people to injure themselves or their diners using true
Sandalwood in their food.
