>>But its origins, according to Rehkopf and histories written about
mead, was
most likely during the dawn of civilization in the Fertile Crescent
area of
the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa. Ancient Greeks called mead
ambrosia and described it as the "nectar of the gods." <<

Um, SCA-boy needs to bone up on his facts & terminology.  "Ambrosia"
was the food of the gods.   "Nectar" was the drink of the gods. 
Oh, and another thing. Since nectar means "drink of the gods", if you
call it "nectar of the gods" you are being redundant. 


Happily drying chiles in my gas oven, and now with a strong craving for
mead, dammit,... Oliver Winery here I come!
