[Sca-cooks] Was vinegar or verjuice most used in sauces?

[Andi]

Wouldn't the use of vinegar vs. verjus also have been influenced by the
season? Verjus is a fresh juice, unfermented and before modern sanitation,
with a fairly short shelf life. Could it be that in season, you used verjus
and the rest of the time, you used vinegar?

Hmmm. This brings up an interesting question. Was it really more common to
use verjuice instead of vinegar in period?
