Tonight the Earley Troop was set the task of breaking patrols and reforming as three groups to prepare a two course menu with provided ingredients and menu.  The challenge was that much more difficult as the only source of heat was from a Trangia camping stove.  The menu was not traditional camping fair, but the challenge was more to test teamwork and the ability to follow instructions than to simply warm up some beans. 

On the whole we were quite impressed and indeed surprised with the aptitude of a number from the group and notwithstanding a couple of spillages, the results were all quite good.  The overall winners on the night was Billy’s team who scored highest on matching the brief, presentation and taste, but well done to all for thier effort and an especially big thanks to Dave for all the washing up…….

Read on for what they cooked……….
