part 5 has the actual feast documented.

quite a feat for only 4 women and 5 teens

gorged themselves on venison, roast duck, goose and
turkey, clams and other shell-fish, succulent eels,

of the wild grape. The affair was more like an out-door
barbeque for the entire population, than a family
reunion dinner.
