Black olives I'm fairly sure were around in period, but what they were used
for I don't know. Don't believe I've ever seen anything with pickled
cucumbers, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

not a problem. But we also considered fixings for Strawberry shortcake
type of dessert. Is shortcake period? >>
There are a couple of fairly "short" cookie type recipes from Elizabethan
times (Fair Cakes from Digbie, I think?), but I'm not sure I've ever seen a
recipe that would result in a raised cake like the modern shortcake.
Certainly a variety of whipped cream exists; it's called "snow".
