2016 Vic Xmas in July Case Swap FOOD Thread

[VP Brewing]

Ok the swap is about 10 weeks away and we should probably start getting some ideas for food.

It looks like there is a bit of interest for doing a few camp oven roasts and stews with rolls for lunch and dinner on the Saturday.

Bacon and eggs for Saturday and Sunday morning is standard.

Anyone interested in bringing and cooking anything, put your name down and we can get a group PM going.

It looks like we will need to cater for about 30 people.

I'm interested in knocking up my unpatented chilli roo stew. Not recommended for vegetarians or those who can't handle a chilli hit.

 

[MastersBrewery]

I can't cut n paste can someone put me on the list. Have 2 ovens so thinking roast spuds and roast beef. If too many beers haven't been consumed gravy!lots of gravy!

 

[micbrew]

happy to lend a hand , as I don't have any camp oven gear !

Called in to Gv Meats on my way home this arvo to get a rough price on some roasts. Bloke said it would be roughly $15/kg for pork, lamb and beef and we would probably need about 500g per person for lunch and dinner.
So we should be looking at around 15kg of meat.
If we want more variety we could substitute some of that for some stews and roast spuds.

Edit: I reckon about $15 per head and we would be able to get heaps of rolls, bacon, eggs, roast veg, OJ etc as well. Shouldn't be too hard to organise and I'd be happy to do it, would just need a few hands on deck on the day.

Hello mate,

First off, massive thanks for getting the food sorted. It's a big job!

I organised the food at the last winter swap and thought I'd post up a few things I took away:

- we did 10kg of spit roasted meat and this was HEAPS. It did lunch, dinner and I think some was warmed up later in the night too!
- best to have some sort of plan on order of food just so people know when to get their stuff sorted. Lots and lots of nibbly things (like those chicken ribs of Mick's!) around 4pm.
- bring a list of names to the swap and directly hound people for the money. Previous swaps that have relied on an honesty system have invariably come up short.
- try and see if the people bringing a meal can also bring equipment to heat and serve it.
- salads are optional

If you still need more food - put me down for a batch of pulled pork.

 

[micbrew]

yeah remember it was ... furken cold ... sub zero temps

however if you want I can get chicken ribs as AJ said , just neeed a bbq plate to warm
them up one , let me know ... and VP you will need to let me know how much you want and budget for it .

This time round ...reckon I might be a good idea to get funds up front !!
saves a lot of hassle ...

as said happy to lend a hand on the day.

Mick

Thanks fellas. Will definitely take that on board. This will be my second swap and the last one I was only there for lunch so I'm open to ideas as far as the food goes.
10kg of meat sounds good. And I agree that getting funds sorted a couple of weeks prior would be a lot easier from my end.
I'll shoot a PM to anyone keen on bringing dishes and equipment who have put their names on the list to get through some finer details in a couple of weeks.

Cheers.

Righto... Here's what we have so far.

Saturday BFast: Bacon and egg rolls. Beer. OJ.

Saturday Lunch: 4 or 5 camp oven roasts with rolls, gravy, cheese. Dead easy and pretty tasty.

Afternoon (430ish pm): Bratwursts in buns with sauerkraut, mustard etc. (I f@!king love these), micbrew's chicken ribs and most likely some beef spare ribs in an ugly drum smoker.

Dinner: Wiggman's RingStinging Roo Stew and any roast rolls that are left over.

Sunday BFast: bacon and egg rolls. Beer. OJ.

The afternoon feast and dinner will probably end up rolling into one but I'm sure no one will notice.

For the guys who will be setting up of the Friday night I can bring out some pizzas.

I still haven't got all the prices of everything and added it all up but It will be no more than $20 per person. Probably $15. I'll get out a pm in the next fortnight with bank details when I've worked it out.

The main thing I need to know at this stage is numbers. I take it not everyone will be staying for the whole weekend....

Discuss....

 

[mofox1]

I think last times we've just started a big arse list... not the prettiest, but gets the job done. Feel free to re-format, or alternatively socialise as required....

I'm in for all - easy peasy.

What time are people rolling up Friday night? I'll be leaving home before midday anyway but just trying to get a handle on what sort of cook time we'll have.

 

[TheWiggman]

On mobile so put me down for dinner. I'll be camp ovening so will take done time to cook. If I get organised earlier I may be able to assist with lunch. Here's my recent pickings:

Be warned it will be hot and hot food's not for everyone. I assume if anyone has dietary requirements they will come forward so we can accommodate.

Just Saturday dinner Wiggman?
