Well I know that in my time before this list I did a feast that was for
a fencing academy.  We had no working parts in the kitchen but the sink.
I didn't know a thing about period cooking so I did the following:

(Please remember this is not period but I tried)

Cold sausages and cheese
Cold baked chicken
Quiches, all kinds
Breads and flavored butters
and a Berry custard dish (custard with raspberries, blueberries,
strawberries and blackberries in a orange liqueur sauce)

It went over really well.  I made all the cooked items ahead of time,
then put it in coolers and served it buffet style.

Just a thought!

Meat/egg/cheese pies, served cold.  In particular, Ember-day tart is
good
and not too expensive; see also Pork doucetty, Spinach tart, herbelade;
for
something really rich, try tarts out of Lent (all recipes in the
_Miscellany_).  Period sweets:  Digby current cakes ("To make an
excellent
cake"), medieval gingerbread (not like modern), hais, hulwa,
khushkananaj..
I had an article in (I think) last summer's TI with a bunch of the
sweets
recipes and they are also in the _Miscellany_.  If you need more
information on this stuff let me know.

The _Miscellany_ is webbed at

I am posting the current cake recipe on the thread  "First try at
redaction".
