These are food related words, AsP dear, not recipes for pickling, or frostings!
and goodness knows english has so many food words --partly, but not entirely because the 'court' spoke french, and gave use french words for what we eat, but the servants, serfs and so on spoke anglo-saxon, so we have germanic based words for animals (beef/cow)(veal/calf),etc.
but i think the point about seasoning (the verb) becoming the noun (or is it the other way round-- season the noun becoming a verb?-- and food terminology being filled with such words is an interesting point.
