Mom says, try feasts and festivals. But she doesn't recall anything in the
way of what you describe. There was a great deal of association between
herbalism and traits (like bravery, honesty, etc). But this was often
mostly a theatrical shorthand for the audience. 

Personally, I would start with the wedding party in "the Merchant of
Venice", or look thru "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and key word *exactly*
the type course you would expect. Something like "Macbeth - keyword:
Beouff/beef".
