Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn’t that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

Some other dishes were Anne, Bess, and Josephine.
It’s good to be the King.

The BBC did two different series titled Supersizers Go and Supersizers Eat, which featured the history of food in various historical periods. I downloaded them from a UK torrent website. They are very entertaining, and although I had to turn my head at times because I couldn't deal with the preparation of some of the food, I really enjoyed these programs.
Here's the Wikipedia page which discusses both series:
Supersizers
Here's a link to a short YouTube video featuring the cook preparing eels for a meal from the Restoration Period:
