Attention English people: a “pot-luck” is evidently an event where participants cook a meal and share it with the the other participants. Today our workplace hosted a pot-luck and it was, from my point-of-view anyway, a spectacularly enjoyable event. There were 10 participants, but we managed to supply enough food to feed the rest of the company as well. We ate
well!
The menu today included:
- Yellow rice with chick peas, better known as Arroz con Gandures
- Venison chili
- Enchilada pies (1 vegetarian, 2 non)
- Roast pork with broccoli rabe
- Goat Vindaloo with Mutter Paneer
- Pulao with Raita
- Spanish Lasagna with plantain
- Fancy cheese with unsmoked, cured salmon
- “A sinful dessert”
M and I made a bunch of pretend Cornish Pasties which, whilst not exactly being the real deal, tasted quite the part. In case you doubt that I was actually involved, photographic evidence exists. We made enough to have a couple for our tea last night, and they were pretty close to the mark. Overall it was probably my favourite experience at work since I started there; we all ate, chatted, laughed, and appreciated each others’ food – quite a bonding experience really. I won’t describe the exact form of the “sinful dessert” because that sort of information could cause global unrest. Just believe me when I say it was shameful and yet spectacular.
