Oh dear, two threads open at the same time and (or so we've been advised) only ten people (albeit eleven including the troll) are interested in them! Just how will we keep them alive?

I propose vigilence! We may be few, but we are strong!
As the I Ching would say 'perseverence furthers'. Though it probably spells it better.

Anyway I need to learn some harvesty style songs now.
Any suggestions?

Forever Autumn. Thats Justin Haywood from Jeff Waynes War of the worlds albam
and my Favorite Track.

'No one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century .
that Human affairs were being watched from the timeless world of Space.
'Few Men even considered the possibility of life on other planets
Yet from across the immensity of Space minds immeasurable superior to ours,
looked at our Knockholt festival with envious eyes.
Like a scientist who studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water
And slowly but surely they drew there plans against us.


I wrote a story once based on H.G.Well. "War of the Worlds"
It was about penis shaped Aliens called the Ardons taking over the world.

Sue my Polish friend brought me back a Leopard print throng. she got it from a market in Warsaw. Do you want it for your leopard skin print collection.

you can wear it when you dance round the fire naked at Knockholt in September with VT , Dilligafxx Linda and Crowsister. The dancing and prancing naked display team was cancelled due to the Parlava that took [place round the fire early Saturday night in June whereby a ceertain person pissed everyone off By the by lete me know ehen the display happens and I go down the Tally Ho.

I am going to try baking bread this time I tried it in my garden the other night but it went quite wrong the oven caught alight and because there was no vent the tin went Bang and the lid flew off.
Not for the 1st time that has happened
It buckled the tin and I had to sling it away. Thats steam baking out the window.I have to bake it instead.

I will cook a large Roast Beef on the Thursday the same way I cooked the Lamb back in June. I know we do not have a septmber dinner but maybe once cooked I can curry it with some rice or maybe even do a proper roast dinner with all the Veg and Roast Potatoes.

How do you make a spotty dick. Dont be crude "Please"

roast beef. been a long time since I had that. I am now doing vegetarian again. a bit of detox. no meat, reduced sugar, salt, white flour, and butter. it is easier in the summer.

but I expect by September I could tuck into a roast. If it is planned for Saturday nioght, I will happily bring and prep some vegetables. May even bring another roast to add to PlC's, if he will share some of his lovely herbs.

I didn't think you could do a spotted dick on a fire. No way to control the temperature. I suppose it could be made in advance scooped into muffin tins wrapped in foil to reheat.

Date: 05 Jul 09 - 11:31 AM

You can share my herbs any day VT. Most welcome.
Clearly you are talking about the edible cooking Herb. Unless you fancy orbiting Knockhot
in a out of body experience rocket time machine?

A Roast dinner before the Saturday night Par-lava Well with all the good Intent in the world we would not be able to cater for all folk. Tell you what I will cook three roasts.
like I did the Lamb last June but I will endeavor to do Beef Lamb and Chicken you bring the Vegetables. I know a sound and cheap butcher who delivers to me door.

Heat on a open fire is controlled by height and heat. in a WIND free environment. pretty difficult at Knockers with all the Real Ale lot. I only drink Real Ale now at Good Intent.

A spotted Dick could be done over embers. I am going to try bread too. If Cave man cooked it that way,so can I .

I will have to start cooking the above long before you get to the field VT and I will season with Mint Sage Onion . Garlick corriander and that all that Jazz.

Maybe richard will bring some of his yum yum Moroccan rocket fuel Harrisa Sauce for those that want the above with Rice. any one else wanna jump on the band wagon they can provide wine..beer.

we wont be able to do this once the fire lighted so I suggest eating time to be around 1800 Hrs.

OK. I'll do some more harissa paste. You could cover the meats in it and leave overnight to marinade if so minded. Then those who don't want it could scrape it off and leave only a gentle tang in the meat...

I made bread rolls once at Knockholt, I wrapped the dough in loose parcels of greased and floured silver foil, leaving enough room for the bread to expand and placed them around the edge of the fire just outside of the embers and they cooked beautifully in about 15 minutes, I might have a go at that again, I'm also looking out for another clay chicken brick (can't remember the correct name for it) at boot sales. The first time I cooked a chicken in one of those on the camp fire it was delicious, stuffed full of fresh herbs and lemon and then I sealed the two halves of the brick together with flour and water to stop the ash getting in, but the second year I tried it the pot broke into pieces still it's worth having another go.

What I will do Richard is marinate over one of the above meats. Lamb beef Chicken and cook the other two with Herbs and spices. I will go to Green street Green for the meats or i fear they will go off by saturday if i bring them with me on the wednesday.

My friend will deliver meat to my home but not to Knockholt. So it will have to be a shop on the friday to Green St Green ,which me and White haired Richard do anyway each Knockholt.
we usually bum a lift of someone. Linda last time.
Im glad I buried and hid all my cooking tins in Dead tree copse back in june so i can dig them up and wash them and reuse.

We tangined the Lamb last time so this time I suggest the Beef. They do have bovines in Morroco I take it? But the marinate choice is open . he can curry and slice the other meats to suit others tastes.


I dont want another marinate parlava like last time despite it all worked out great in the end.

Lady Raffles, I have one of those terracotta chicken brick things! 'Romertopf' or summat.

At the moment it's err pretty grubby (second hand item - been in the out-house for ages so needs a jolly good soak & scrub). But I had considered its possible uses on a camp fire!

Shall I bring it in September? I should be coming along with my old fella next time (so there'll a bit more space for gear!)

Pete, a quick google convinces me that beef tagine is quite proper.

If we are gong to tagine as such rather than marinade meat and cook as joint (there goes that word again, Debs) then the choice of vegetable and fruit becomes tricky. I'd still go for carrot but I've gone off courgette in tagines and I am not keen on aubergines although I suspect that they grow OK if well watered in north Africa. I'm not sure what other firm root veg would suit. I have seen recipes using sweet potato, so does anyone know whether they are native to Africa? I associate them with the West Indies. THe other favourite to add to beef tagines seems to be prunes or prune juice, but with only a few portapotties that might be unwise!

So, tentatively, if tagining, it might be worth thinking about beef, usual spices and harissa, carrots and sweet potatoes.

Has anyone got access to an ethnic shop (usually Indian) that sells saffron in large bags at cheap prices (like the market in Jerusalem does)? The lump we put in last time would probably have been a tenner in teh supermarket?

Or shall we not do it as tagine on fire?

Brilliant Crow Sister! bring it along I'll also try and get hold of another one so we can have a couple of chickens on the go, it sounds like there might be another feast brewing. Oh I forgot to mention a bulb of garlic goes inside the chicken along with the herbs and lemon, the juices when mopped up with bread are absolutly amazing.
