Food .... 2009

[lalagay]

Ohhhhhhh yeah you can say that again Rob 
I know UK is reputed for it's cooking, but I grew up in France and my mum worked as a chef so....
I don't know what kind of equipment you have, but I'm guessing ovens aren't readily available.... Tis a shame, as my pastries are quite a sensation....   

Be careful what you wish for ,,,,, I have an oven I will be glad to offer up(not during show time of course). Can you teach us how to whip up some yummy pastry???

Don't worry, if you have an oven I would be delighted to knock up a few pastries and give out a few tips in the process, home baking for me is time well spent

Ya know the Camp Vs Camp thang , IMHO, we just wouldnt have time for
we have a FULL schdule of activties and Feeds ...Im Digging the Bacon thing !
I think we should Keep Tweaking the Feeds we already have on the List ..
We have some great Cooks in all the camps !!!!!!!

I don't know man, I kind of like the idea of hors d oeuvres at the brew tasting? not so much a competition, but an addition to the tasting? they could be judged by the crowd if you wish? we could even have a bacon category?? MMMMMM!!

[Ron N Deb]

Yeah Rob and I are working on the Hors for the Brew Tasting
and yes Bacon will be on the menu..
 

[stongwrcs]

Yeah...I think the addition of finger food added to the brew tasting is perfect! Working on a couple of items from the Jailhouse. Jailhouse has plenty of tables, so if some other camps want to chime in, we'll enlarge the setup to accommodate. Location, Location, Location! Bacon!Bacon!Bacon!

Like Ron said, the pre-fest schedule is pretty full, but food with the brew taste would be a great enhancement. But keep in mind, the brewer's have the main stage here!  So...yeah..a competition would probably not be a good idea. Just eat, Drink and be marry! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Spice girl here..
My company is primarily a repacker/wholesaler of dried spices and herbs...as fresh as can be bought stateside but, even better, we create seasonings daily in big ol blenders so the Blackened Seasoning is easy to bring and highly recommended. That will be our first 'must have' flavor.

 
Lalagay - I can fix you up with Cinnamon, Cloves (ground or whole?), Coriander seeds, Cumin (Comino) seeds, Fennel seeds, Turmeric, yellow Mustard seeds (Canadian- no black or white), black pepper corns, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, sage....just about any dried herb or spice-nothin fresh such as Basil.  Just let me know which ones you truly would desire...or any other Festichef out there that feels like spicing it up a bit.

I'm a bit spoiled...we would never buy spices from a grocery store.  Unfortunately, they are quite old when the old standards hit the shelves....and overpriced as well.

And no to the Cardamon pods, Lemongrass, coconut.

We have many blends such as Jerk Seasoning; Lemon, Garlic or Lime Pepper; Roasted Garlic with Red Bell Pepper; Crab/Shrimp Boil; Chili Powder; Rib Rub; Fajita etc.  If you want it, let me know and I'll let you know if we can provide.

Just so everyone knows, we will arrive in Telluride on Monday the 15th so keep that in mind when setting up your table D' hote!

[stongwrcs]

Okay, Lalagay. You have your spices. Guess we have to figure out an oven. Most finger food/appetizers do require an oven to heat. Might have to add to the Jailhouse kitchen to experience these French pastries.
Can't wait. Got any good finger food recipies that include bacon for Hooch?
Festival!!!!!!

[Auntie Hope]

Miki says she has a camp oven and I know Courtness also has one, or she had one last year.

Miki,
When are you pulling into Telluride this year?

[stongwrcs]

Thanks, Hope, but if they are like a buck fifty or so, might be a nice addition to the kitchen. I think we do have a French pastry chef coming, so want to be able to turn her loose in a rustic camp in the high Colorado mountains.  Your job will then be to drag me off so she can do her thing. You know, when it comes to cooking and my kitchen, what a possessive beeatch I can be.
Should be a heck of a lot of fun, but half the fun is going to be deciding on just two items to prepare. Drink...fret...drink...fret...this one?...drink...fret...that one?...drink...fret! You can see, it's going to be a long three months. OH MY GOD!
ONLY THREE MONTHS!

1. Why just 2 items to prepare?

2. 3 months? I count roughly 10 and a half weeks before I leave! Oh, that's right you leave about a week later, sorry!

[Cindy Lou]

You can always make more things, and then decide which ones you want as your official entry   like you said, rustic kitchen.  weather can mess with ya, especially if it's cold and/or wet.
so you just try out as many as you want, i don't think it will be a problem
hee hee  some people are vegan, some are meat lovers, and then there's Hooch. 
I mean there should be at least as many apps as there will be brews, ne devait pas là ?

[UselessJo]

Go Mizzou is right! What a win! Sorry about the Boilermakers
I cant believe the food talk, it makes me feel (pulling on front of sweater) like a little school girl!

Auntie Hope 

Not sure just yet about arrival dates but yes you are welcome to use my oven in the condo (which is the closest to the fest)... So you can still get them there hot....

.Fest would not be the same without all of you and the things you do for all of us. Thanks for all the effort..
