If it helps, I've documented melons of various sorts as period in both China
and Japan, and I'd be amazed if the same weren't true of the Middle East and
Spain. I know that watermelon is period at least in north Africa.
I don't have a period recipe for it, but strongly suspect that pickled beef
is period and I do have a recipe for a kind of pickled pork...pork brawn.
The recipe that has been redacted in Dining with William Shakespeare is
excellent! It does need refrigeration, but can and should be served cold
with a good mustard. That way, you'd combine both a good, recognizable meat
with the benefits of vinegar/wine used to pickle.

I've found that this is true at feasts. Dayboards, however, are a nother
situation, because you are trying to get fighters to eat during the heat
of the day, during the actual fighting. When the heat is bad, it's hard to
get anyone to eat anything, especially unfamiliar foods or combinations of
foods. Heat can make people queasy. Mucdh though it may pain your period
cook soul to let people get away with food they recognize, such as cold
roast meat, hard boil eggs, bread, fresh produce, pickles, Serving a lot
of food that the fighters can't stomach or shy away from benefits nobody.
Our shire does two reasonably large fighting events, one 300-person theme
evetn and one big war camp--800 people and up, every year.
For the se events, we have fresh fruit including melons (I know that I
can't document europeans eating melon fresh in period, sorry),apples,
grapes and pears (documentable), other soft stone fruits and quartered
oranges (doubtful) fresh vegetables-- carrots and celery, and turnips if
I'm requesting it: turnips and celerey may have been eaten raw--, pickels,
olives, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, and bread. For the big event there are
also modern pretzels, olives, and graham crackers; for the smaller event,
there is a protein of some kind- cold chicken was less sucessful than
breadrolls with sausage, chhese, mushrooms, or onions baked inside.
