I was looking at "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" last evening to
see if there was anything that might help. There are both feasts
(which the poet specifically declines to describe in detail,
unfortunately) and hunting scenes, and some rather ritualistic
presentations of slaughtered, butchered, game. As I recall there are
three such scenes, one involving venison (as in deer, rib meat,
IIRC), the second, a boar, and I forget the third.
