Aoghann asked about period candies.
We have a number of worked-out recipes in our Miscellany, webbed at:
http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Medieval/miscellany_pdf/Miscellany.htm
in the second on desserts, etc. We have the candy recipes together,
Islamic as well as European; they start on p. 124, right after the
cuskynole recipe. My favorite for just plain odd is the spicy nut
candy (one of the pynades, although it calls for almonds rather than
pine nuts) using radishes rather than pepper for the spiciness.
