Interesting stuff. I see that Bear said in large part what I do now.
So hopefully we're agreed that this one should be buried next to "spices
were used to cover the taste of bad meat". And yet you'd be surprised how
much pushback I've gotten in some quarters trying to correct the received idea.
Paolo Squatriti by the way has an interesting section on how the rich
avoided water specifically because everyone could drink it and when they did
drink it did things like freezing or heating it to make it "special". Not
always the case, but an interesting observation as far as it goes.
