Hullo, the list!

So this was the televised medieval feast neither I nor my seneschale
could get any locals to attend or provide "local color" for. This was
sent in response to my query on the menu, along with a short description
of my discovering the plan of the chef to improve upon medieval food
without actually knowing anything about it; appended below. It is
supposed to be on FoodTV around Thanksgiving, which, for you
non-Canadians, is, I think, November 23. All in all, it sounds tasty,
and I suppose it could have been a lot worse, although I have a sneaking
suspicion he would have cut his quinces into thirds.

Note that this medieval feast consisted of eight dishes, counting sauces
as separate dishes, and was served to a total of ten people. I'm feeling
pretty good about what we do, don't you?

Um, would anybody have a menu for this feast? When I spoke to a
researcher for the show, it seemed as if they weren't especially
interested in help with researching period food (the chef was Belgian,
spoke virtually no English, and so far from being interested in seeing
period recipes in French, which I was assured he understood, he felt
that actually reading period recipes would only be an impediment to his
ability to improve upon them). So does anybody know what this chef
actually prepared?
