[Sca-cooks] candies and sweets

[Lonnie D. Harvel]

Greetings!

Earlier, someone asked about the names of various candies and such. I 
did not see the response, and I have the same question. Would some of 
you knowledgeable folks point me towards source material for: candies in 
the period of 1450-1500 in the areas of London, Florence (and other 
Itallian States), Vienna, or I guess any other European region.

Since "candy" does not appear to be a period term, I am not sure what to 
look for. Kind of like looking up a word in the dictionary when you 
don't know the word. Anyay, I am looking for nougats, boiled sugar 
candies, honey based, candied fruits, sweets with nuts, etc.

Book references are also appreciated!

Thanks!
Aoghann.
