[Sca-cooks] Structure of an Elizabethan Feast?

[Joel Lord]

So I'm heading up the feast for The Feast of St. Nicholas in Queen 
Elizabeth's Court next December, and I'm finding one critical piece of 
information awfully hard to track down.  How would the feast itself have 
been constructed?  I can find all sorts of sources for what they were 
eating, decorations, characteristics, all sorts of things.  But the 
over-arching flow of the feast, not so much.

The day is intended to be a completely immersed day of celebration in 
1560, which is to say food and entertainments.  My hangup is that I 
can't figure out if I'm currently planning far too few dishes or far too 
many, or if I'm trying to stick sallat in the wrong place...  I've spent 
far more time digging in to either earlier England, or even moreso 
elsewhere in Europe.

Any good sources anyone can recommend?
