All right, If you want something that can feed about 2 dozens, try this:

(from the Romanian cookbook, still in the Florilegium as well. A bit OOP,
but who cares, it's yummy!)

Veal breast and ribs. Make veal breast stewed with meat stock, with lard
bits or butter, cloves, nutmeg, a little pepper, salt, a glass of white
wine, turnips chopped small, whole umbrella nuts, dry plums and dry
cherries. 


This is basically a stew. It is added later in the book that you can
substitute beef for veal (therefore reducing the cost). I personnally
recommend cooking it on an open fire, with a good, fragrant wood (like apple
wood). You'll have to make sure the stew doesn't stick to the bottom and
burn. Substitute pine nuts for umbrella nuts and it will work just fine
(it's very similar - see previous discussion).


I don't give any proportions because, 1, people say I have no sense of
proportion :-)) and 2, I generally add the quantities I feel appropriate at
any given moment. You can fiddle with it anyway you want. Lots of nuts and
cherries is always good, though.

I served this for our Household at a camping event in June and it worked
very well. 

Good Luck!
