I am wondering if there is a complete list of every item of food served at a royal meal or any highly extravagant event from the middle ages or earlier.
The goal is to figure out what it would take to recreate that meal in the modern day.
According to Pseudo-Taillevent's Le Viandier (unfortunately not the manuscript translations that you can find online, which include recipes but no menus), one fifteenth-century French evening meal included:
First course:
Second course:
Third course:
Fourth course:
Fifth course:
I've got some more lying around, but I think they'd take longer to type up. :D Hope this is a good start!
