Hm, we can do most of this without any changes...

Well. plums we can buy easily. Purple figs may be problematic, but I suppose
I could do somethign creative with regular mission figs.
Liver in a stew could be small liver quenelles poached and in a nice pot
liquor based sauce. Brain pies - sort of like daryles with brain instead of
marrow? Loin of veal roasted with a nice sauce. Grapes and perhaps lemon
pickles?

Will have to think about the veal dish. Anybody have any idea what the
polish duck recipe might be? That one that uses duck blood for the sauce? A
nice artesan salami, melon served fresh? and some sort of nuts - perhaps one
of the period candied/spiced nut recipes?

What type of cheese is marzalino? Is it something that is still available or
there is a decent sub for? Pears with a sieneese sweet stuff - poached
pears? walnuts in red wine? medlars may be hard to find and I can buy the
fennel pastilles [but Phlip hates anything anis-y or licchorice-y intaste,
so I can safely omit these ...]
