Vegetables marinated in what? In some oil? Or maybe vinegar? I assume 
olive oil would not have been available in Germany.
> Second Course:
> Sauerbraten
Oh. Recipe? Is there proof this is period?
> Spaetzle
Any proof that this is period? I've not seen anything definite, 
although I do have this Florilegium file:
dumplings-msg     (54K) 12/23/04    Period dumplings. Spetzle. Recipes.

> Third Course:
> Hens from Greece (this is the roast chicken with pork in a sauce around
> the outside)
I'm not sure what you are describing here. Is this a mixture of roasted 
chicken and pork pieces in a sauce? What do you mean "a sauce around 
the outside"? Outside of what?
