Wouldn't such a list would have to be subdivided by time and place?  
Olive oil is "period", for example, but it would not be appropriate for 
cooking a 15th century Anglo-Normal feast.

Or are you thinking in terms of: what fruits/cheeses/raw veggies, etc., 
would have been eaten in period, and therefore not be out of place on a 
generic dayboard?

In either case, I suspect that much of what you want is already in the 
Florilegium.
