Have you looked at Gaston Phoebus de Foix's _Livre du Chasse_ (Book of the
Hunt)? Tres spiffy late 14th-early 15th c text with truly wonderful
pictures. It even has info on teh care and training of hunting dogs. Might
well have stuff on hunt foods, especially since there is a scene of a
lovely picnic, complete with tables and hot and cold running servants...
