[Sca-cooks] Cherries, white bread, lots of wine, beans in milk, eels, crabs, eel-cake...

'Eel-cakes' is from the other translation; I'd say 'eel pasties',  myself.
 
Note too the milk here. Within a century, that would not longer be  
acceptable as a fast-day food. Probably not the curds either.
 
Beginning a meal with fruit actually seems to be what doctors of the time  
recommended. But given that the fruit course became virtually synonymous 
with  dessert, that doesn't seem to have endured; even this meal ended with 
fruit as  well.
