Thank you Cariadoc for posting this recipe.

First, this is how your redaction came across, at least in the digest:
<<< 1 ? lb cabbage
1 lb lamb cut into 12 pieces
1.5 oz = ? c chopped white of leeks
1 T Olive oil
? oz Galangal root (fresh)
1 stick Cassia (cinnamon)
1 c Rice
? t Salt
? t Pepper
3 Carrots, ~ ? lb in total >>>

Can you please give the fractions?

What does the recipe mean when it says "a few drops of sweet olive oil"?

Is this "regular" olive oil? If so, why would anyone use an olive oil that wasn't "sweet"?

Or does this term actually mean a grade or type of olive oil? i.e.: "extra virgin" or is that a modern concept?

Thanks,
   Stefan
