Hmm.  I usually do the spices to cover rotten meat one, pointing out that
there were laws against selling rotten meat, and inspectors, as far back as
the 13th century at least; also "the rich didn't eat vegetables/the poor
never ate meat" one.
As far as a good recipe, try something relatively familiar, like a fruit pie.
 My first thought was Drye Stewe for Beef; it's basically a potroast...And
it's been a hit whenever I've served it to mundanes.  It's also good cold.
