From DorkbotLondon

NOTE - this is the 2006 article

To better look after Dork health it is suggested that campers co-operate like good comrades and cook together. (You are of course perfectly entitled to hang out in a corner and be weird and eat by yourself.)

Shared Menu

We assume that everyone is bringing their own food unless their name is on the list near the bottom of this page.

• No meat is provided in the shared menu. Please bring your own for the BBQ.
• Assume that there is no refrigeration available. Even if there is a fridge, it will not cope with food for 70 people
• Bring your own cutlery

Menus

Would you like to offer to help cater for your comrades? Add your culinary offering to the Menu for the meal you can assist with:

Friday Night

• West African Sweet Potato and cabbage stew (with corn bread, selection of cheeses, mixed green salad)

Saturday Breakfast

• Porridge!

Saturday Lunch

• Shepherd's Pie (with Tangy dill bean salad and spicy carrot and cumin salad)

Saturday Dinner

• custard

Sunday Lunch

Cooking Equipment

If you are bringing cooking equipment add it to this list so that we know what we can cook with. The scout hut should also have some equipment in situ. Does anyone know what they have already? Fill in the list!

• fill in your offering here
• I've got some big pans, some large mixing bowls and 3 pyrex baking dishes. Any use?

Ingredients List

We need to get things from somewhere. Lottie might know good local places, alternatively, there's always supermarkets! boo.

We have a budget of 500, assuming 10 quid per person and 50 participants. Of course there are likely to be fewer than that at every meal, taking into account flows of participants and one-nighters. However, cooking for 50 is a good bet as I'm sure there are plenty who can eat for two or more. I can anyway. --SaulAlbert 00:11, 19 August 2006 (BST)

Ok, I have added the quantities I will need to make the meals I suggested for 50 eaters. Feel free to substitute if something is too expensive or unavailable. There is nothing here for breakfasts, puddings, or BBQ -- (leftovers are definitely good - especially since we won't be able to nip out for a kebab/chips in the woods in the middle of the night!!!)

Who will be bringing their own food

If you're opting out please add your name below so we get an idea of the % of who's in and who's out.

• Alex Z. I'm not going to be there for the whole time and the best thing about camping is grilling meat over a wood fire :-)

• Bryan C. I'm a carnivore... bbq and open wood fires sounds rather good to me. A breakaway omnivore group to join me?

• Alex M. I'll be eating from the vegetarian menu but am happy to collaborate on a meat supplement

• Iain S. Yes, I am afraid I would like to BBQ some meat as well, though I might dip in to the veggi bit for some meals.

• Javier Candeira. Will be eating and cooking the veggie menu but also happy to collaborate on a meat supplement.

• Bastian. Got 12 german sausages to chip into the BBQ pool, i am on the veggie list but need occasional meat from time to time + i like open fires.

• James Larsson. Better treat me as being self-catering as I live almost exclusively on sandwiches. I will, however, be bringing some sausages for the BBQ.
