That again?

I'm reading a biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine by Alison Weir, who I usually respect greatly as a researcher and writer. However, in her chapter on daily life in England in the 12th century, she writes: "Stuffings, marinades and rich sauces, often flavoured with garlic, were used to disguise the taste and smell of rancid meat that had in many cases gone green."

Seriously?
