Default Medieval Feasting

A small class of 17yrolds are having a medieval meal together for the
end of term/xmas. There is a fine medieval building nearby which we will
use. I need suggestions for a multi dish banquet - everyone will bring a
dish or two and we will sit down together and share.

I don't think we need to be totally authentic but I am thinking we
should have no new world produce - potatoes, turkey, tomatoes, green
beans are out (should I add anything to that list?) - and we might ban
air freighted Kenyan mange tout and Chilean plums as well, and seasonal
dishes would be a bonus. Any ideas?

There are a wide variety of sites out there with medieval recipes on them.
I'll start by recommending mine, of course;-)
http://www.panix.com/~nexus/cooking/ - which is all medieval, you could
start with the menus and go from there.
and
http://www.aspiringluddite.com/ specifically the 26 May Herbe-Blade,
the 14 April Tailliz de Karesme

The main other "user friendly site" I'd recommend is
http://www.godecookery.com/

But there are a few others linked up at the bottom of the first site.
