SC - Request for inspiration

[Par Leijonhufvud]

The Calafian Cook's Guild has just been given a request/challenge.

The autocrat (ok, steward) for an event in mid-June has asked for a feast 
that will feature 'plundered foods' from coastal countries.

He has specifically requested _AZTEC_ chocolate from the New World, but 
also wants to go east to Britain, up to Scandanavia, then down south and 
around to North Africa and the Middle East.

So, what might be called a 'plundered food'??? I could see a spit roasted 
mutton in there (we have a great local source where we can get them at 
$1.59 a lb, and they turn out MAHVELLOUS).  But, what else?  Maybe the 
Icelandic Chicken Packets (chicken and bacon and sage)?? A little bit of 
seafood, but what kind? (I doubt our budget will stretch for oysters on the 
half shell or even shrimp.)

As you can see, we need a little inspiration. My fellow cooks, can you help 
us out here???

Thank you VERY much in advance for your time, and your advice (and all 
citing of sources will be VERY dutifully recorded).

Oh yeah, Senior Cook with the Calafian Cook's guild.
