Which sentence best states the authors' claim?
even though one book after another repeats this myth,
the popularity of spices had nothing to do with disguising
the taste of meat or fish that had gone bad. any lord who
could afford spices (which were expensive) could easily
get fresh meat or fish (which were readily available); and
when a cook happened to be stuck with rancid food, the
spices he had available could not hide the awful smell or
taste. whenever they could, people used the spices that
were so popular, they became an expensive necessity:
pepper, ginger, sugar, sometimes saffron. only the very
rich could afford the luxuries-such as ambergris (which
is coughed up by whales and offers a strange, perfumy
taste of the sea).
