OK here's me so far, provisional list for Saturday *

 

Toasted almonds tossed in extra virgin olive oil and cornish sea salt

Manchego Cheese & quince jelly

Tortilla

Cold Fusion meat platter with serrano ham, various salamis, mortadella, torn mozzarella with a honey balsamic reduction and a few bits of fuit

Home made spicy apple chutney from my personal orchard ;)

 

Home made booze:

 

Bramble Brandy

Rosehip Vodka

Raspberry & Gooseberry Gin

 

Other:

 

Fair bit of Beer

Fair bit of Wine

 

I've got someone on a covert mission to get hold of a couple of King Ted Invincibles in case anyone fancies a ceeeegar with Mike's port!

 

EDIT: * Nick if you want me to hang fire on any of this for Sunday let me know.

I will. I'll try and save you a nibble on Saturday but it's more of a taster than a full 'main course for 12' job. I'm figuring we'll have a few people making or bringing stuff.

 

My chutney might be better with Terry's cheese too.

 

Sunday will most likely be the main showcase for potions too I guess?

Does the place provide tea and coffee, sugar etc

 

Doubt it. Mike if you're able to a few domestics on this kind if thing would be helpful. I can always give the chap a call if you're busy.

 

It's 'self catering' though so I would assume NOTHING is included. It's £15 for a bed after all!

 

EDIT: Looks like Mike and I will be arriving around about the 13:30 mark to bagsy the beds furthest from the gaylord block. We'll get a few things squared away regarding security (if yer name's not dahn, yer not comin' in) and make sure the fridges etc are switched on. I saw a load of wild garlic out today too, not sure if it's ready (probably not...) but worth a shout I expect.

 

Weather forecast is getting better: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/gl7

 

EDIT 2: OK update on the food. Having just spoken with Nick the Sunday catering is sorted, being a mixture of planned dishes and a bit of a play with some of Nick's toys too.

 

Saturday dinner, as before, bring food and be prepared to show off and cook it (or to let someone else cook it).

 

I think we've done enough planning now and so let's let the event unfold. It's going to be good.

Just put a big batch (about a dozen) game pasties in the oven. A traditional Cornish pasty recipe but with rabbit and pheasant instead of beef. Proper lard and butter shortcrust pastry as well! :wub: I imagine these being consumed more for light healthy snacks during the day, rather than for the evening. I'll also bring some beer and some of this years sloe gin :good:

I've just picked up some game from Crowman (including venison) so will be cooking some oriental stuff with help from MIL.

 

Rhubarb still growing but will stalk it in the morning and hopefully will get some more success then you lame Gloucestershire gaylords who cannot even bag a little muntie :lol:

Ace. Your pasties were great last time, thanks Dave.

I'll have Sum Yung Guy please.

 

On a serious note, very welcome Malc, thanks.

I'm going to check out a very well hung Deer that's in my chiller. If all is well I'm bringing fillet as the freezer doesn't look good. I've been shooting six times this week and got nothing, typical really isn't it?! I'll get up early tomorrow for one last try but don't fancy my chances.

 

I've got a bottle of sloe gin and a bottle of whiskey.... That should keep me cheerful for one night at least. :lol:

Well hung? If it's the one I saw in your chiller after the last range day, it's due a telegram from the queen!
