Already annoyed that the author is still spreading the rumor that people spiced their meat in the medieval period because it was rotten. By the time he wrote this, food historians knew this was bs for about a decade. Academics knew this. I know it was probably a throw away comment for him but he also tried to call everyone involved in the spice road, criminals. Spices were expensive, this didn’t happen.
