Ok ! This meet looks like its going to be a culinary delight , so as we don't end up with more food than we can shake a stick at , just a suggestion , that those intending to cook , actually cater for say 4 heads , that way we can all sample each others cooking !
Its NOT compulsory , but those who fancy a go , great , those who " can't cook won't cook " don't have to, so Chef Newman has started the ball rolling with his dhansak , anyone else has any ideas please post them , and see what we end up with !
We have plenty of time to compile a final list , and i think we could be in for a veritable woodland banquet , yummy !!
Also valid point by Adam , about the birch sap rising , about the second week in March , sometimes because we are so many feet above sea level , it can be later , but seeing as we have had such a mild winter , it could be on time .
I can always pop up and check , so for any interested in the elixir if life , that only comes but once a year , give me a shout .
