I tend to do at least 4 dishes with each course depending on the event. 
For the Candlemas I cooked this year, I wanted to do something closer to 
the grand feasts of the coronation menus I have seen when doing research. 
Therefore I did more:

Bread & Honey Butter
Savory Toasted Cheese

First Course
- ------------
Soupes Dorry
Chicken Crowned with eggs 
Autre Vele en bokenade
Blaunche brawne
Armored Turnips 
Bolas  

Second Course
- -------------
Spiced Pork Roast with Frumentary
Pepper Sauce & Garlic Walnut Sauce
Meatballs in Saracen Sauce
Egredouncye
Caboges in potage
Apple Fritters 
Honey Almond Candy


Vegetarian substitutions for meat dishes:

First Course
- -------------
Spinach Tarte
Macrows
Funges

Second Course
- -------------
Lentil balls
Fried Gourd with Garlic Sauce
Grene Pesen


The only dish that was not period was the Lentil balls. However, it was 
made with only period ingredients as I was trying to use them to replace 
the meatballs.  I had a total of 1/2 lb precooked meat per person and 
cooked for 225.  The only dish that was controversial was the soupes 
dorry (it was either liked or hated). I am working to make the soup 
better, trying different wines and onions. The vegetarian dishes were all 
cooked in advance and reheated in a microwave for my convenience.
