Is the feast you mention the one in this file in the FEASTS section of
the Florilegium? If not, it sounds similar:
ill-fd-feast-art  (10K) 12/ 8/97    A feast consisting of illusion foods.

Those interested in these ideas might also find these files of interest:
In the FOOD section:
illusion-fds-msg  (79K)  8/28/98    Medieval illusion foods. Diguised food.
Warners-art       (32K)  6/29/98    An article on disguised food.
