Morescal Ball Feast (Donations)

[size=14pt]Moresca Ball Feast[/size]

At the Moresca Ball, the game will be providing food for a feast. However it has become tradition for this ball for us to ask for food donations as well from the players coming, so that the feasting can be far grander than it would be otherwise. So to that end, we are encouraging you to bring a dish to the Ball. This is not required, but doing so will get you extra service and in some cases build.

We are offering 500 SP for every cold dish or dessert, with no upper limit, and 1 build for a large Crockpot full of hot food with a maximum of one build per person.

The only requirement is that you post here ahead of time letting me know what you plan to bring so that I can be prepared. I will update this list of planned player food donations, so that you can see what everyone else is planning to bring, so you can see what we have enough of and what we are lacking.

Stuffed Grape Leaves with Meat and Rice Recipe

Gideon could take a frikkin' death at the ball, Geoff would still be happy as long as he gets some Stuff Grape Leaves.

Dessert and bread of some type[strike]...won't know what kind until the day before.[/strike] - Raspberry bars & cranberry/orange bread

Will make a sweet Italian sausage and pepper dish [strike]but will depend on work schedule. I'll let you know closer to the ball.[/strike] - it will be in a crock pot or tin with sternos

Greek salad (sweet peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet onion, and  feta.  Olives on the side).

Veggie lentil stew, similar to the one served at the last festival.

I'll see if I can bring some cold sesame noodles.

I will make broccoli and cheese soup (hot in a crockpot) 

I'll look into providing desserts

I shall bring meatballs in a homemade tomato sauce and Amaroso Rolls,

Possibly some Russian Tea cookies(walnuts) too if i get time to bake.

Crockpot Cabbage and Bratwurst - Hot Dish
and probably a dessert
- Jason

[strike]I've got an experimental dessert recipe I've had swimming around in my head I've been wanting to try...

Look for a platter or two of Jenna's Bodacious Brown Sugar Bites (patent pending)

Edit: These things are basically praline without the nuts: sugar, corn syrup, eggs, & flavoring. If under normal circumstance the only thing that stops you from eating pralines is that they're you know, nuts, then rejoice![/strike]

Cancel the bites. I made up a test batch, and while they are indeed bodacious, they are also quite cost-prohibitive in large batches.

Sorry!

I'm making homemade fudge, maybe a side dish...Haven't decided...but lots of fudge 

I can bring cheesecakes of some sort. possibly pumpkin bread

Stuffed Grape Leaves with Meat and Rice Recipe

Gideon could take a frikkin' death at the ball, Geoff would still be happy as long as he gets some Stuff Grape Leaves.

Does this taste like poison to you?

My cold sesame noodles uses peanut oil, Asian spicy chili, and may contain seafood.

[size=8pt]edited: as per Kristen's advice on allergies.[/size]

With the number of people we have we probably have at least one person with every common food allergy, plus vegetarians and vegans.  It will be rare for each dish to accomodate the entire populace.  I know I can think of at least 5 different allergies off the top of my head, and its really not appropriate to ask people to post what they are allergic to here.  Its probably better if you list in this post what your dish contains if its a common allergy (nuts, hot pepper, etc) or if its specifically gluten-free or vegetarian.   

I'll bring my red beans & rice.

Gluten free & vegan.

To contribute to Kristen's comment, I have an additional suggestion that might make it easier.
PLEASE make a small place card with the name of your dish, listing ingredients or anything that might cause issues for anyone with allergies.
When you bring your dish to the ball, you can set up the card next to it.

example, if I was making stew:

Beef Bourguignon
Main ingredients: Chuck beef, bacon,
carrots, onions, garlic, cognac, red wine,
tomato paste, flour, mushrooms, seasoning
Chef: MaryBeth

My cold sesame noodles uses peanut oil, Asian spicy chili, and may contain seafood.

Its always got to be an Asian thing with you.  Doesn't it Paul?

Yup... just like with those kids who speak Japanese they learned from anime and eat nothing but sushi and take Asian-themed classes in school and love all things Asian...  ???

How about I bring my favorite food of fried chicken, baby-back ribs, and those corn fritters? 

Pistachio & Garlic Wings

Daedri's Not Dead Yet Wings (Spicy!)

Russian Tea Cookies & Chocolate Chip.

Warning: This chili contains NO spicy peppers, as I am allergic to them.

That's a warning?
