When my lord husband and I autocrated our first event, Winter's
Challenge, the cook in charge of the feast decided to use roasted turkey
as the main course, mainly because of the cost. To make them period, she
dressed them up as swans and peacocks {although there were jokes about
the local zoo missing some birds!} I always thought that was a nice
compromise - those like my husband didn't feel squeamish about staying
for feast, while staying in a period mood.
