While it may not be medieval, I learned a nifty little Sephardic custom
while having seder with some Iranian Jews (not to mention that they are
allowed to eat legums).  There is a tradition that you are seated next to
your mother-in-law.  During Diyenu (one of the songs) each person holds a
scallion.  During the chorus, you are supposed to GENTLY hit your
mother-in-law with the scallion (and she you) to remove any agression for
the year before it happens.

Just a nifty one, I thought...
