Like I said, tomorrow I'm teaching Humors (as well as Women & Medicine, and Food of Eastern Europe) at Chirurgy and Cooking: A Winter Schola (http://www.eastkingdom.org/event-detail.html?eid=1792) in Flemington NJ
I put together a chart of the Humoral qualities listed for things in the manuscripts of the Tacuinum Sanitatis as reproduced in the book The Medieval Health Handbook

For those of you who are used to my usual classes, there will probably be no nibblies to sample as my household is just getting over a nasty bout of digestive flu and I don't want to share the impure airs of our home with you all. If I do bring anything it will be uncooked and/or prepared on site (radishes in dressing, perhaps).
