For the upcoming event when I get to cook for, I must plan out a menu and what foods to serve the populous. I'm torn between 2 options, and well be sitting down with the Autocrat and my teacher at the next event to get opinions on which of the two. I'm going with a German theme of camp cooking, so almost every dish can be traced from that region. But for you faithful readers, you all can get a sneak peek!
Menu #1 - The Carnivore
This menu is selected with the carnivore in mind. It's based around the Paleo diet (the diet my soon-to-be King is on) and is meat heavy as well as trying to use only foods that can be obtained in the wild/not based around agriculture
Breakfast:
Eggs (scrambled with/without mess) - A mess is a wild assortment of items, what was on hand. So I'd offer eggs plain or with onions/mushrooms blended in.
Bacon - I would prefer cured ham steaks, but bacon is most likely cheaper
Apple slices
Water
Coffee
Tea
Lunch:
Cold cut sandwiches - Ham or chicken, served on a small roll with mustards and fresh cut onion rings
Pickle spear
Water
Tea
Dinner:
Beverage choices -
. Water
. Tea (sweetened and nonsweetened)
. Lemonade (not period, but popular)
First Course -
. Bread and butter (spiced and plain)
. Wild Salad
Second Course -
. Mushroom and Onion Soup
. Sausage in an Apple and Onion sauce
Third Course -
. Barbequed Carbonadoes (various meat selections BBQ'd and spiced)
. Shiraziyya
Fourth Course -
. Funnelcake (oh yes, funnelcake is period)
. Sweetened Fruit
. Strawberry Puree
Menu #2 - The Well Balanced
This menu straddles the line. It doesn't favor anyone's particular dietary restrictions/choices, and is just full of things I find yummy!
Breakfast:
Eggs (scambled, plain or messed or with cheese!)
Glazed Toaste
Cinnamon Oatmeal
Water
Tea
Coffee
Lunch:
Cold cut sandwiches - Ham or chicken, served on a small roll with mustards and fresh cut onion rings
Pickle spear
Water
Tea
Dinner:
Beverage choices -
. Water
. Tea (sweetened and nonsweetened)
. Lemonade (not period, but popular)
First Course -
. Bread and butter (honey, spiced, plain)
. Apple slices
Second Course -
. Mushroom Onion Soup
. Meatballs with a cherry sauce
Third Course -
. Pasta with Saffron and Mace
. Barbequed Carbonadoes (various meat selections BBQ'd and spiced)
Fourth Course -
