=============
We call it Food on the Field. It has undergone many changes since it first
came to be. We just couldn't get the fellas to eat the neat meat cheese
biscuits that the Calontir kitchen made for their troops. The Crown asked for
a volunteer (Helium-hand-itis) to come up with something they would eat, that
would keep them on the field fighting rather than back at camp eating and
usually taking off the armor and not putting it back on again. The feeling was
that fighters would stay on the field longer. A questionnaire of sorts went
to all the Outlands fighting/fencing lists as to what they wanted. And we
gave them what they asked for. We do about 400 tortillas a day, cut in half
and stuffed with turkey, ham, roast beef, cheese and combinations of meat and
cheese. Peanut butter and jelly, refried beans, cream cheese, potato chips,
corn chips, pretzels, mixed nuts, raisins, chocolate chip cookies, snicker
bars, cherry tomatoes, black and green olives, pickles and strawberries. The
Outlands War Council foots the bill for the food, usually around $750 per war.
Our serving ladies have been known to wait at the res points with wet towels
to wash the faces and hands of the fighters. If anyone is interested in
something similar for their group, let me know and I will shoot you the facts
and figures.
