Aqua vita of any sort? Larks' tongues? the rice is interesting. Wonder what that is exactly? Not a lot of that around at the time. Didn't see a swan, wild boar or other exotic. Taters makes sense though they didn't much know what to do with them. one hell of a lot of animal source saturated fatty acids. Except coconut. No hydrogenated corn oil or margarine or oreos. No corn at all actually. No gourds. Nothing much from the Indies. or Africa or the Americas except the taters. Where are the eels. Eels used to be a really big thing among big shots. Seal? Porpoise, Whale, Walrus? No adventurous suppliers! the sugar had to be W. Indies slave cane sugar. no other big source around. no mention of salt. salt was a big deal. the 'holder' of the Salt. Above or below the Salt.
