Mid Winter A&S Feast

MidWinter A&S 2012 Feast Menu

House Excelsior was asked to cook feast for Mid WInter A&S (Jan 28th 2012).   We gladly accepted this great honor.   We planned a great  menu and an even greater presentation

 

This was the first time that the House hold has taken on a project such as doing a feast for an event.  We all pulled together and spread the menu out and then brought it all together at the event.  The end result was a feast that started on time, lead off by a tray of chicks, mice, cheese almonds, bread, butter, and smoked olives.

 

The second remove was venison stew and mock entrails.  For the high table we had a special presentation of the mock entrails.   Two hunters processed in with the carcass of a dear born between them on a pole.   From the carcass was drawn the entrails and placed upon a platter for the consumption of the high table.

 

Glazed carrots, cormary over noodles, and Pom-wal made up the third remove.  It was followed by the fourth and final remove of fruit and cookies.   However, there was a twist concerning the cookies.   The cookies were actually made into chess boards where the boards as well as the chess pieces were all edible.   These were a great hit with every one.

 

  General note:  The recipies were from many various sources.

 

   Over the next few days I will be collecting pictures and recipes for all of the courses.   Check back soon!   You will not be disappointed!!!
