This sounds somewhat like the 'pasties' I remember reading about
in the Knowne World Handbook.  IIRC it suggested using the biscuit
dough from the refrigerator case in the supermarket and stuffing
it with whatever you wish to eat.  I remember using the Pillsbury
biscuit cans and freezing them when I first started playing in
the SCA, and I seem to recall one of the fighters in the group
wrapped it in something and stuck it in his armor to eat when
there was a break.
<sigh> Seven years just shouldn't seem that long ago!

Hm. You know, I had a thought, the sausage, cheese, mushroom
etc. filled
rolls/pies of bread dough may be period, based on a passage in
the
domostroi:

Domostroi: "When the servants bake bread, order them to set some
of the
dough aside, to be stuffed
     for pies. When they bake wheat bread, have pies made for
the family
from the coarse flour left in the
     sieve. For meat days stuff them with whichever meat is to
hand. For
fast days use kasha, peas, broth,
     turnips, mushrooms, cabbage, or whatever God provides...."

The fighting household that made teh bread dough wrapped around
filling
rolls found that they could be made ahead of time, baked, frozen
solid,
and transportported to War (Pennsic) in coolers and they kept
quite well.
