The fact that you ate it at a feast is almost no evidence that it is
period. Some feasts in the SCA are limited to period dishes, but many
are not.

One way finding out whether a dish you ate is period is by asking the
cook afterwards--he is likely to be busy until the feast is
over--whether it is period and what the source is. The second half of
that is important. The cook, after all, may reply that it is
period--and he knows that because he ate it at some past SCA feast.
Unless he can actually tell you the period cookbook it is out of, the
odds are pretty good that it is not period.
