Well, after posting the final menu last night, I had a brainstorm, and then another. First I decided that the menu wasn't quite married up with the theme well enough and reworked it into 7 courses, 2 dishes a course, one sin per course. Then I decided it would be even better to make it seven courses, with one virtue and one sin per course. I floated it on the Stormvale discussion list last night, it got a favorable reception, and here it is:
Feast of the Seven Virtues and Sins
First Course
Diligent Bread, preferably with water
Slothful Cold Spiced Beef, which took a long time to make
Second Course
Abstinent Compound Salad, full of leafy virtue
Gluttonous Tart on Ember Day, rich and cheesy
Third Course
Lustful Apecian Carrots, for fertile diners
Chaste Fish with Sauce, food for thought
Fourth Course
Wrathful Bourbelier de Sanglier, charged with spice
Patient Broccoli with Fennel, calm and placid
Fifth Course
Prideful Pies of Paris, dinner for nobility
Humble Herb Soup, a peasant’s meal
Sixth Course - Greed
Greedy Gilded Chicken, gleaming with gold
Liberal Risotto, share it with friends!
Seventh Course - Envy
Envious Pippin Puddings, Eve’s tempting fruit
Kind Soul Cakes, to see our diners off
