Sarge, that's not Medieval; that's RenFaire -- its roots are sunk in Hollywood not history.
Something more on-target might be such as these, by search on "SCA recipes":
Medieval SCA recipes
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/food.html -- go mining through the links presented
Feast Food Recipes -- scroll down, scroll down, scroll down... main text and sidebar, looks like.
SCA Trail Bread The comparatively low 375F baking temp makes for chewy bread. I've seen this kind of thing before.
SCA Potluck
Selections from the first page -- of 1.23M hits. Go crazy!
And yeah, you can probably find recipes for lampreys or jellied eels if you look hard enough. No SCA feast or revel I've ever been to was that hardcore, though. Meat pies... a fair mess of meat pies...
