I did this for one course at least, Caid 12th Night about 2-1/2 years ago.
Macrows [or was that Macchiaroni?  Mac & Cheese, complete to the straight
tubular pasta] and Fricadella of Fish [very little difference from "fish
sticks"] were the main dishes, both from Platina.  We called it the "You WILL
Eat Period Food and Like It Course."

I love the idea of a whole feast done that way.  This is =not= the naughty
practice of skewing redactions so they "document" stuff we like -- this is the
real deal, actually proving that some stuff we like is period!
