I think it probably gets done on a regular basis, and I'd far rather see that
than a feast made up of primarily non-period foods.  I'm fairly new to the job
of head cook; right now I'm happy if I can keep everything documentably
period, and it all tends to be European as I'm just not interested in Middle
Eastern cookery to any extent.  But I'll worry about putting together a feast
from one country and one century when I get the mechanics of doing the feast
at all down a little better.
