Second Course:
    Chicken with Orange Sauce (Medieval Kitchen) drums only served on a nail    
    board in orderly marching rows with iced bread shields and breadstick       
polearms. AKA the Northern Army after a Bad Night
    Ryse of Fische Daye from Cariadoc's Miscellany served molded in crown 
shapes      with red and green cherry jewels
    Eggs in Nests; carrots, parsnips and turnips carved into egg shapes, 
simmered        in vegetable broth and served in asparagus (cooked a la De 
Nola's      suggestion for Lent) nests.
    Bratwurst with Lumbard Mustard (mustard from PD and Forme of Curry via      
Kateryn Develyn's redaction-adapted) brats were on wooden skewers stuck         
into a foam sheet arranged with a bowl of blue jello topped with a layer of 
the         mustard (pond scum) for dipping.
    
Third Course:
    Meat Pies adapted from A Boke of Gode Cookery/Master Huen, we had beef,     
    pork, venison and rabbit pies as well as some done with only vegetables.

proper      critter.

jello       made with almond milk rather than water. Interesting expressions 
when the        egg shells were cracked open.
