SC - period fried foods

[Stefan li Rous]

Thomas replied to my request for period frog recipes with several German
ones and included this:

Unless I'm mistaken, I thought most of the period recipes we had for
fried foods just fried them in oil, without coating them with a breading
first. But this one does use a breading.

Am I mis-remembering?
