Well, they're probably being sloppy with information. Sugar was, I
believe, kept locked up with the spices when it was rare and expensive.
And, I think it was also listed along with spices when listing them,
but I would agree that it wasn't believed to be a spice. It just was
lumped in with them in household accounts.
Pedantically, Alys K.
