Unless I recieve specific news by the person involved, I don't.

Probably. I've seen some pretty unusual feast dishes done for whatever reason 
or the other, ususally done unnecessarily, IMO.

Plain vegetables boiled, roasted, and fried are period.  Oftentimes we forget 
 that simple prep is an option which is period and  eliminates any need to 
substitute modern recipes . The main thing is to provide variety so both 
carnivores and herbivores are satisfied. :-)
