Well, I think you can assume there was bread, alongside the pomme de terre which are on the menu; and we don't have relative quantities for everything, or know how many people were eating. Variety, though, is a large part of what makes a meal opulent - e.g. tasting menus usually have 10 to 20 courses when you include the various little nibbles in between courses. And indeed, tasting menus typically have a different meat for every dish; if you listed them in this format, they'd look very meat heavy too.
