Food For The Field

April 14-17, 2014


Last calendar week my operate took me out to the champaign - wandering woodlands, mensuration trees in addition to tracking their embattled offspring inwards the north-west of Victoria. Our mission was a footling vague, but the fellowship was practiced in addition to the conditions was spectacular. We drove in addition to walked in addition to talked in addition to ate together, in addition to I learned a lot along the way.


'We' were a squad of seven, making the six-hour displace from Melbourne in addition to setting upwards military camp inwards an isolated but unexpectedly luxurious lodge. Unable to assistance alongside the driving, I volunteered to handle the food. I've had a bit of practice.


Still, it's non my weekly habit to cater to thence many - including meat-eaters, a coeliac in addition to a swain alongside a selective nut allergy - in addition to I floundered estimating quantities of breadstuff in addition to milk. At to the lowest degree the repast strategy that I blogged a twain of years ago helped a lot.


I recycled many repast ideas from that concluding big trip. Cereal in addition to toast, tea in addition to java in addition to juice alongside BYO alcohol. Fruit in addition to muesli bars, trail mix in addition to jelly lollies. I bought ready-made felafel for sandwiches, spell others pitched inwards alongside extra fruit, allergy-friendly snacks, sliced meat in addition to coeliac-friendly sandwich substitutes.


For dinner nosotros ate lentil tacos (canned, for rapid cooking) alongside myriad trimmings, thence a Thai ruby curry alongside tofu, lots of vegetables in addition to steamed rice.


On the concluding nighttime I pulled out a spice glue I'd prepared before in addition to made the eternally awesome Mondo chickpea curry. Instead of serving to a greater extent than rice I gave Lucy's baked polenta a go, doubling the quantity in addition to stirring inwards one-half a block of parmesan. This unlikely pairing was a roaring success eaten past times an outdoor fire.


On the concluding morning, I was relegated to toast duty spell a colleague fried upwards eggs, bacon, spinach in addition to mushrooms on the barbecue. As nosotros wolfed it downwardly I thanked everyone for the favours they'd granted that week, hoping that I'd hold upwards able to reciprocate 1 day. While nosotros all interpreted it every bit an offering of workplace assistance, I'd belike catch a catering constituent too.
