[Sca-cooks] Street food?

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Silly me. Of course. For thirteenth century Paris, you have the classic  
"Cris de Paris":
 
Les rues et les cris de Paris au XIIIe siècle: pièces historiques publiées  
d'après les manuscrits de la Bibliothèque nationale et précédées d'une 
étude sur  les rues de Paris au XIIIe siècle 
L. Willem : P. Daffis, 1874

And  any "street food" sold at the fairs would simply have been one of 
these  peddlers making their way over (though possibly having to pay a fee for 
the  right). Note however that many of these products are simply foods, like 
fruit or  fish, being sold as at market. Only a few would have been prepared 
hot food,  like hot tarts.

One good  source would be the street cries, which were sometimes noted 
down by  authors.
