[Sca-cooks] What other sour seasonings are covered by German "essig"?

Rumpolt has very many mentions of oranges and lemons.  Both sweet and 
sour lemons, and salted lemons.  When I have time, I'll pull up a 
list.  My impression is that they are mentioned more in the high 
status menus, but I'd have to look to be sure.  While they would have 
been imported, it seems to have been a pretty common import.

I guess I've assumed that essig was always vinegar, but I haven't 
seen anything that would seem otherwise.  I'll take a look at Grimm.

Rumpolt has many mentions of verjuice, along with the recipe for making it.
