No... I inadvertantly set the cat among the pigeons.  In response to the 
query "are fruit pastries period?", I replied that the question was too 
vague.  One might as well ask if beef stew was period (it is, but not all 
kinds).  When I say "beef stew" I only assume pieces of beef cooked in 
a liquid thicker than soup, though vegetables are a pleasant addition.  I 
should, perhaps, have said "stewed beef" instead.
