<<< What I'm
looking for now is suggestions for other period prepared foods that
would do
well in our bento lunch boxes while at the war. >>>
In the FEASTS section of the Florilegium. I think some of these items
should work, although I'm not quite sure what a "bento lunch box" is.

Are you willing to keep things in an ice chest and let people get
them from there? If so, this isn't documentably period but it is
medievoid in style. In the Florilegium FOOD section:
Scotch-Eggs-msg (19K) 3/ 5/05 Fried sausage-wrapped hard-boiled
eggs.
pretzels-msg (66K) 6/10/07 Period pretzels and pretzel-like
breads.
Easily bought in town or brought from home.
More of a snack than a major part of lunch:
Calontr-Jerky-art (6K) 11/15/08 "Sex Red Wine Jerky - the
Calontir Army
Standard" by Bns. Jenna of
Southwind.
Another pair which would require an ice chest:
chck-n-pastry-msg (30K) 3/20/08 Chicken recipes cooked or baked
in pastry.
meat-pies-msg (158K) 11/13/08 Period meat pies. Recipes.
(We've made these as 'hand pies' at home and then taken them to
Gulf Wars and eaten them cold at lunch)
Digby's cakes should be okay cold.
Digby-Cakes-art (12K) 6/30/01 "Excellent Small Cakes Revisited"

bagels-msg (16K) 1/10/08 Period bagels.
(Provide these with sliced or chunk cheese and ready-to-eat cooked
sliced meat or cured meats. If someone chooses to put this between
the slices of the bagel and eat it that way, then their choice)
pickled-foods-msg (138K) 4/ 1/08 Medieval pickled food. recipes.
grape-leaves-msg (31K) 12/24/04 Use of grape leaves in cooking.
