SC - questions

[Mercedes of the flame]

Greetings,

I'm and aspiring feastacrat.

Before I can get started on a bid, I need to get some questions cleared up 
that are becoming a mental road block for me.

What makes a 14th/15th century feast a feast?  Is it recipe's drawn 
specifically from that era?  Must it be from only one country or from 
several unless otherwise specified?

What are the limitations on doing a new world themed feast?

(I think the bidding autocrat is going for a 'Columbus' theme)

When should I be concerned about -exact- historic documentation?  Can use 
estimated time frame documentation?

I see all these great links to online medieval recipe's but I'm concerned 
about all the details that go into putting together a feast menu.

I want to do things right and have fun at the same time. I can't have fun 
with all these unanswered questions in my head.

I look forward to some great advice very soon.

With eager heart and mind,

Mercedes of the Flame
end
