Here're the menu items from the PDF:

Preparing Thy Menu
Your Arthurian holiday should be served in courses, what a medieval lord would've referred to as services (assuming he spoke English). I recommend a three or four service meal. Use the following menu suggestions for inspiration. Recipes for all menu items are in the Instructions for the Cooke section.

First Service
The first service should be something relatively simple and not too heavy of a vegetable variety. Often this was the only service available to peasants. On the plus side, peasants did get to eat the leftovers. Choose at least one of these three vegetable dishes.

Mushroom Tart
Onion & Parsley Salad
Spinach Tart

Second Service
Next up, the pages serve poultry or fish. Here are two of each. Choose whichever one sounds the tastiest.

Baked Duck Pie
Cod with Jance Sauce
Garlic & Grapes over Goose
Scallops with Garlic & Onion

Third Service
After poultry or fish comes something gamey. Think boar and venison. Beef is also good, although cows aren't really a game animal. It's not like the nobility got all dressed up and galloped forth on cow hunts. Listed below are one each recipe for pork, venison, rabbit, beef, and lamb.

Beef Stew
Beery Mutton
Pork in Pepper & Wine Sauce
Seared & Stewed Rabbit
Stewed Venison

Fourth Service
At the end of your banquet comes dessert. Since dessert is often the best part of any meal, don't feel compelled to limit yourself to just one of these delicious delights. Heck, prepare them all if you want. Dessert choices in the next section are these:

Elderflower Cheesecake
Gingerbread
Honey-Basted Fig Pastries
Pears in Wine & Spices
