Hopefully not. The feasts we seek to recreate are for the most part fine 
dining at it's best. Years of work has been done to educate the typical SCA 
person regarding actual period feasts. The documentation of cheap and filling 
food does not necessarily mean that those foods were ever served at feasts. 

IMO, I hope such documentation either does not exist or else clearly 
indicates that they were not meant to be used in situations of ceremony, 
festival or fine dining. The corpus of recipes we have to work from were 
clearly used for such occasions and the presence of cheap and filling at such 
a meal is neither appropriate nor is it indicated in the extant cookery 
manuals we have access to.
