I wouldn't limit it unless I had positive proof of its rarity. I don't think 
we have a chance of replicating or even knowing the 'typical' frequencies 
with which certain dishes were served, so as long as we know that something 
*was* enjoyed during the period in questions, we ca take a leaf out of our 
medieval forebears' book and cook according to the palate of our lords.
