SC - Last unanswered Buffet menu

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

Good Morning,

Baroness Alys, my logical compatriot, and I finally hashed out the
menu for the Last Unanswered Buffet meal for this Friday night.
We wished to reflect the candidate's penchant for not eating mammal
so we had to come up with easy dishes that were elegant but presented
under fairly primitive circumstances. We will be in an open field under
a
pavilion with electricity and water so it isn't too bad. We will also
have
two Cajun Cookers.

This is the final menu:

Cardimom Balls
Spiced Bread
(Both from the 16th C. Dutch cookbook)

Homemade bread

Gravlax w/ mustard sauce

Mushroom tarts from Pleyn Delit.
Norweigen Pasties
(I think from Pleyn Delit, turnovers some filled with turkey, I know not
period
but we would have used pheasant or partridge, and others with fish,
cheese
and spices)

Cold Chicken in Sage Sauce
Ember Day Tarts
Roasted Carrots w/ herbs
Rys Pudding

We will be serving hot cider spiced with Pyment spices.
I also would have liked to serve Pyment but that's a lot of wine and we
are doing one of our infamous Kamakasi blowouts the next night.

Most of the dishes are in most everyone's cookbook collection. I'll
post them if people want.

I feel this has a nice balance of flavors and textures as well as being
nice
"stand around noshing while waiting to go in" food.

The turnovers will be fried on site which will make them nice and hot
although
they would be good at room temp. Also all of these dishes are easy and
quick to make since we only have two days to make them and transport
them 5 hours away.

I'll keep you posted.

Yers,

Gunthar
