The other question is what you suspect about the culinary tastes of your
guests.

Period food need not be expensive. Chicken is a common period meat, for
example, and there are also dishes using lentils, beans, rice, breadcrumbs,
lots of inexpensive stuff. On the other hand, one way to make a feast
period while being confident that Americans with conservative tastes will
eat it is to serve roast meats with appropriate period sauces; if your
guests don't like the sauces they don't have to use them--and roast meat is
relatively expensive.

If your guests are the kind of people who are happy with modern Chinese,
middle eastern, etc.--i.e. are willing to enjoy new kinds of food--you
shouldn't have any problem.
