In Melbourne groups, to serve non-period food is occasion for scorn. (Or
sympathy, if the cook doesn't know any better). There are plenty of
medieval dishes around which taste good and are easy to make.
One of the approaches we use is to have a 'gourmet night' - try out a
recipe on each other before serving it at a feast. It provides the
opportunity to discover that two people interpret the same recipe
differently (Cuskynoles anyone?) and gives a chance to refine the cooking
before unleashing it on the great masses.
This is another reason for lots of dishes. There _are_ things which some
people don't like. In any reasonably large group, you will have people
who don't like (or are violently allergic to) something you are serving.
Variety helps the problem...
