Tuggen Contura 08 (Switzerland) - Cooking after Storm
In BULA 08 I was a cook for Pfadi Mittelrheintal scout group. The dishes we had to prepare were fairly easy: The groups were not allowed to buy the products by themselves in the surrounding villages (with 25'000 participants, the chaos would have been too big), so each day we got a ration and had to cook the planned meal with it. Just one day it was rather complicated, we had to prepare Zöri-Gschnetzletz (Emincé à la zurichoise, there's no English translation but the French one is probably understood...) for which around 6 cauldrons were needed. Exactly that evening there was quite a heavy storm and finally the camp leaders told our group to deconstruct the Sarasani in which our kitchen was located... however, the scouts were hungry enough to protect the food during the somewhat complicated operation, they even provided a windbreak after our gas cooker had no more other protection against the wind.
It was worth the effort since the meal turned out to be quite good, just the sauce could have better - without the storm pressure, we would probably have noticed that in our recipe there was calculated too much "roast sauce" than needed...
