I say... YES. There is a difference in the definition of the word "period"
when used in many different contexts and by many different people. How do I
know this? 'Cause right now, as we speak... I am running a Feast Survey on a
variety of different SCA Lists. It has around 20 questions about feasts,
food, feast set-up, etc. I asked that (if possible) people respond to the
survey in the mind frame of the "eaters" of feasts rather than the
"preparers" of feasts. I have got some surprising (for me) answers and
comments.

Allright. So, if I were cooking at a feast you were attending (obviously
off
this llist), and had made a substitution to a "documented recipe" and you
noticed it, would you still consider it "not a period dish"? Is there a
difference between the definition of "period" on the sca-cooks list and at
SCA events in general? This, I think, is where the confusion lies, at least
for me.
