[Sca-cooks] box lunch ideas

[Stefan li Rous]

Cailte asked:
<<< i have a "box lunch for two" prep coming up in a few weeks
(auctioned for our poor fighters fund).  it's a lunch by
the field kind of thing.

i was thinking of doing a nice pastie with a
guiness-beef-esque filling.  i was also thinking of an
free-form apple tart for dessert.

am i getting to 'crusty' with this? >>>

You may well be.

<<< any ideas on what
could go well with it?  i was thinking some cheese, but
that brings me back to flour product to put it on. >>>

Why does everything have to be encased in dough? Was that a  
specification for this lunch?

I've always liked what Adamantius wrote up for one of his lunches.
