Food... and Friends.

For the past 2 or so years we have participated in a food evening with another few friends around every 2 months. The premise is simple, each pair makes a course, in a pre-selected theme, we eat drink, and play some games.

We all noticed that we couldn't easily remember who made what and when, if it was successful, and would we make it again, so time to start documenting it.


October 2017

Theme: German Food

Entree: Mickey and Carl
Berlin Potato Soup
Sausage and bacon in a soup with potato, carrot, celery, leek, onion and parsley.
Was very tasty, I need to make this again!

Main: Rob and JP
Pork and Chicken Schnitzel with Sauerkraut, Kartoffesalat (potato salad), Gherkinsalat (pickled cucumber salad), and Spaetzle.
Sauerkraut is not normally my thing but it tasted good and the chicken schnitzel was amazing. Maybe I have found a new way to eat cucumber as the salad was good too when cucumber normally doesn't do it for me. Rob explained that when he had schnitzel in Germany they have a dollop of mustard and a dollop of wild berry jam with alternate bites. We tried his and it was surprisingly delicious!

Dessert: Laura and Joel
Buchteln: Nutella and Jam filled sweet rolls with vanilla sauce.
Fantastic end to the food run.

Played: 7 Wonders, Monopoly Deal, Nitty Gritty.

The next night is in December and will be Christmas themed. We are on main and I have no clue what to make! Time to do some research on international Christmas food traditions!

The aim is to actually remember to take photos next time too!
