Onion Soup from PD
Savory Toasted Cheese from Digby/Cariadoc's Miscellany
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,

Ingredients were identified by pie crust cutouts in the shape of the
proper critter.
Cheesecakes from Digby/Cariadoc's Miscellany
Eggs in Lent for High Table from Take a 1000 Eggs-adapted (donated), last
minute kitchen substitute for the baked almond creme became lime
jello made with almond milk rather than water. Interesting expressions
when the egg shells were cracked open.

Mushroom Oysters with pearls from Sauteed Mushrooms with Spices in
Medieval Kitchen served on oyster shells with pickled onion pearls.
Fourth Course:
Castle shaped Cake with Marzipan dragons and bunny defenders

Wafers (no cheese) Le Menagerie and Hauviette's redaction
Dish of Snow from Cariadoc's Miscellany and Lady Hauviette's modern

I hope I have credited all of my sources properly, if not, please let me know
and I will be happy to give credit where it is due.
