Frying was definately period. Whether deep-fat frying or other frying is
totally up to the nature of the recipe. And they woulod NOT have used olive
oil for this purpose. The best fat for frying (deep or not) was and is
without a doubt lard and this is what I always use when frying is called for
 in a period recipe unless some other fat is specifically mentioned for this
purpose.
