(François Pierre) de La Varenne indicates a branching out of French cooking from medieval times, when recipes contained a superabundance of flavors.

"Rumbullion, alias Kill-Devill" is the "chief fudling they make in the Island" of Barbados, writes Richard Ligon. He calls rum "a hot, hellish and terrible liquor" made of "suggar canes, distilled" (see 1641; 1655).
