Wow. That looks like damn good food.

#23

Given the sheer amount of bacon in the menu, I think I’ll have to switch to vegetarian - is it too late to do that if I’ve already ordered/paid etc?

#24

Not bad.

Just gotta ask, vegan croissants? A rarity! Also honey usually isn’t considered vegan (I draw the line above insects but technically they’re kingdom animalia.)

The dessert pie is milk/butter/etc free? And the last gotcha is croutons - they’ll often hide cheese/hooves in them so doublecheck plskthx.

#25

Cool, Pity the bacon quiche is ruined with Kumera, but hey, can’t win them all :stuck_out_tongue: hehehehe

Sounds good enough to pre pay, will get it done asap.

Edit Payment Made.

hello, the chef here.

I found a recipe that has no honey need, milk is easily replaced by soy and butter is easily replaced with a non dairy subsitute.

thank you for the insight on the honey but that easily fixed in the recipe for dessert.

the carrots will just have to go without the glaze if it is a problem but the teriyaki sauce should be yummie enough.

as for the croutons… well, like with everything, I am making it from scratch so I know what is in them.

Thanks for answering those tricky questions, Elle!

Daphne (and others), please feel free to switch dietary requirements up till Monday. Flick an email to chimera@nzlarps.org - I’m not just being pedantic, because there are so many people, and so many variables, I need everything in one place :slight_smile:

If anyone has questions about what is in the food, please contact Elle on lotuscateringservices@gmail.com
If anyone has questions about ordering it, dietary preferences, payment and other logisitical concerns, email me on chimera@nzlarps.org

If you’re not sure who your question concerns, email me and I’ll forward to Elle if need be.

So miso ended up not being on the menu? I guess I’ll have to wait till next Jade Empire weekend game then.

#33

Them’s fighting words! glares

#34

Are there any basic cooking facilities such as a microwave or a jug to boil water?

Also, just to confirm - if we do succumb to the mouthwatering menu, is it okay to pay on the day if we haven’t pre-ordered our food?
