A study notes rampant sugar and spice use in medieval recipes, with Venice imports in 1485 and pepper priced at 1814 grog per pound in 1505. It argues early cooks often mixed sweet and savory, used scarce dairy, and favored almond milk over cream, leading to flavors disagreeable to modern palates.

The piece discusses hop cultivation as a skilled, unstable business facing price swings and disease.

It notes high planting costs, soil needs, and yields of 200 to 400 pounds per hill with potential 700 to 1,200 pounds per acre on good land, underscoring uncertainty akin to a lottery.
