A $10 feast around these parts is usually something like 1 roast meat, 1
stewed meat, 2 starchy dishes (eg rice or frumenty or noodles), a
green salad, a fruit or egg-based pie/tart, and a couple of other
dishes.  Here's an example of a recent one:

chicken with peacock feathers stuck in it.)  Here's another one for an
upcoming event, for $12:

Just A Feast $20 Canadian per head for the feast. That included 4 meat
dishes (only one of which was inexpensive meat - chicken pieces @
69c/lb), 2 fish dishes, 2 meat-based pate-like things, 4 different types
of finger food for appetizers, 2 egg dishes, a herb tart, 4 other
savoury vegetable dishes, 2 sweet dishes served with the main feast, and
a banquetting course with half a dozen different dessert dishes and
non-alcoholic hippocras.  We also rented tablecloths and bought candles
for the hall.

Yours,

Katherine
