You need to talk to Gwen Cat...she's our resident German expert...as is 
Lady Hrosvitha.  For England...there are a number of texts in Middle 
English that aren't that hard to translate yourself...but to give you a 
feel for recipes from that period, check out "Take a Thousand Eggs or 
More", a two-volume compendium of recipes that has some "translations" 
along with some redactions.  Cindy Renfrew, who some times checks in on 
this list, is the author.  Not a clue about Romania, though you might 
try checking for other Eastern European cuisines.
