Vic Xmas 2016 Case Swap - Food Thread

[MartinOC]

There's been plenty of folks who have taken-on the task of coordinating food for these events in the past, but it shouldn't always fall to the same ones. Time for the load to be shared...someone else needs to stick their hand up & do it. it's NOT hard!

Null'n'void has a spit. Fuel is required.

Meat is required to get toasted.

Bread is required (if you want, I can organise 100 rolls from the Kinglake bakery - just ask!)

Salads (simple ones - don't mention the war...).

Sauces.

Something to mop-up the sloppy-bits. Paper towels will do.

Who's going to take this one??

 

[Yob]

Put me down for the salad...

What could possibly go wrong with that?

... but seriously.
Perhaps we should get a list of numbers for attendees for both nights to work out catering requirements. I'm a huge stew fan when it comes to camping so will knock up a stew or two (will bring Death Sauce for optional/necessary chilli hit) and make enough to share around. I'll also knock up a crunchy noodle salad on the Saturday which is the 'salad of choice' in my opinion.

Put down if you're attending and want a feed so numbers can be put together. If you're feeding, put down how many mouths you'll feed so the numbers will add up.

You may not be aware, but after the infamous salad of 2015, all salads at AHB swaps were banned.

EDIT: If I recall, the catalyst may have even been some noodles, pita chips or some rare variety of kale.

OK, looks like:

Friday night is covered with Wiggman's Chicken stew. Are we having anything with it?

Saturday/Sunday breakfast needs bacon to go with Yob's eggs (my girls will also provide). Provider needed.

Meat required for the masses on Saturday for the spit-roast- do we have a taker to provide? Lots required to last into the evening...

I'll order 60 white & 60 wholemeal rolls from the Kinglake bakery for the weekend.

Have I forgotten anything?

**** IT! Looks like I'm coordinating food this time...

 

[Nullnvoid]

I'll source the meat for the spit. I believe we normally get 10kgs. Is everyone happy that's the correct amount.

Does anyone know what the rough cost has been in the past, I would hate for it to turn into a salad situation.

 

[malt junkie]

Don't mind grabing the bacon, but again how much to grab, 3-4kg?

One final issue would be kegs- or really how we're keeping them cool. I think yob and I counted 23 kegs (18L) and sundries at the last swap, that'd be a lot of keezers and cables.

 

[TheWiggman]

I'll bring a chest freezer good for 2 regular kegs and 2 mini kegs. I'd planned to have 2 of my kegs in there but happy to let someone else share around. I could also fit a fair number of longnecks and such.
Ed: plus a 4 way power board, problem solved.

 

[Yob]

to turn into a salad situation.

immortal...

shit.. Im up for salad this year... strap in folks, this could be epic

 

[micbrew]

i reckon to be fair , we need to determine a cost per person for the food
from memory last swap was $25 per head

then we can work out quantities yada yada

micbrew

 

[Yob]

I think yob and I counted 23 kegs (18L) and sundries at the last swap,

that was just the Friday wasnt it?

Garbage bins, bag of ice.. if folks bring a bag of ice each or two as they turn up, well be sweet.. we should definitely put some thought into how to keep our kegs cool.. wont take much..

how much freezer space do we have on site?
