The Standard Food Order

Post by mcoulson »

Download the default food order as a pdf from here.

Download the default food order as a word doc from here.

Watch out your system might not like the word doc !! If your signed up for a tasting and DON'T tell the organiser about your food choice then this is what you will get.

If you want to change your default order, check out the menu available from the Boot & Flogger home page. and post into this thread asking for the default order to be updated.

This weeks menu can be found here

The default food order has been updated to include everyone who attended the last Cockburn tasting, those attending the tasting on 26th March 2018 plus anyone who has posted in this thread. If you are one of those people please check here to ensure I have captured your requirements correctly.

If you are not on this list but want to be please post your selection in this thread.

I note from the default food order that some people have items that are no longer on the menu. I have therefore applied the following substitutions:

"Cornish crab salad with ciabatta toasts" >> "Spiced fish cake, Cornish crab mayonnaise, mustard"

"Oak smoked salmon with beetroot, orange and horseradish" >> "Chapel and Swan oak smoked salmon, horseradish crème fraîche, capers"

Please say if you want something different.
