The Collegium Occidentalis was on Saturday (a West Kingdom event of 
arts and sciences classes). I attended the Perfectly Period Feast II 
(15th c. Spanish). Additionally, Brigid ni Chiarain graced us with 
her presence and she taught a class, focused largely on her work 
translating Ruperto de Nola (if that was even his name :) which i 
took. As she pointed out, there are no SCA period paella dishes. 
Dishes with rice, yes, but nothing like modern paellas.

So if there was a mushroom paella in an SCA feast, it is unlikely 
that is is period.
