Are there any medieval recipes or evidence for anything like our modern
snack foods? You know, fried dough, lots of grease, salt and flavorings? Or
is this just a late 20th century thing?

Perhaps the absence of maize and potatos makes this unlikely, but there
was wheat, rye and pig skins.

Um. Well pretzels do seem to be period. Is there any evidence of dried
fruit being eaten alone as a snack?
