I was going through the soup-msg file in the Florilegium earlier this evening looking for soups for Gulf Wars, and I remember a number of them there had grains, including oats, in them. You might look there for comments on different grains and what is period.

You might also look in the grains-msg file for info on when various grains and
types of grain processing were used.
