Though this might seem like overkill today, back then people would cooked and reattach peacock’s plumage in order to adorn the feast tables. They skin and feathers were removed before the bird was cooked, and then they would be reattached. Sometimes gold leaf was also added.

Meat-Filled Feasts
Back then, it was common for wealthy people to consume any and all types of meat, which included rabbits, cows, sheep, deep, pigs, goats, fowls, and boars. Sometimes they would even eat porcupines and hedgehogs. A sample menu for a banquet could include 12 pigeons, 12 chickens, six rabbits, two herons, a pig, a deer, a sturgeon, and a kid goat — and that was just three of the six courses!
