I had an idea last night. I have a fairly large collection of charcuterie recipes from Apicius (4th to 5th c.) to Markham (1615). It seems to me that, taking a page from [livejournal.com profile] hrj, a statistical analysis of the ingredients might be interesting. Or at least have some value, if you (understandably) don't find that of interest.

Off I go... I loves me some pivot tables. So far my sortable fields are the work, time, recipe name, type (e.g. sausage, cured meat), ingredients, and treatment (e.g. ingredient in another dish, smoked, boiled).

Recipe Source = work?
time = prep time or aging time?

Work = recipe source. Time = approximate publishing date. These are only first-pass field names.
