Since the Cris de Paris is in old French and has a lot of other material in
it, here are the foods which seem to have been sold as prepared foods:
Pea puree, hot broad beans
hot pasties, hot cakes [gastiaux/gateau - not necessarily a cake as we
would understand it today]
Stale cakes? [gastiaux rastis]
hot "reinforced" wafers [waffles?]
Hot galettes, "scalded" pastries [dipped in boiling water]
Bread from the Sas and Carmelite brothers'
Various other breads from other groups
Warm flans
Hot tarts and simnel bread
Cake with bean [typically for the Feast of the Kings, but mentioned
outside those dates as well]
The fruit too might have been sold as street food, but that's less certain.
Otherwise, there's a poem further on specifically about one of the major
fairs (the Lendit fair), but it doesn't mention food vendors; it does however
mention taverns at the fair:
