Starting this September there will be a cookhouse running at the Flying Lead games. Bringing the taste of the South to these desolate Yankee hills.

Now I want to run this as 'in game' as possible, as it is all about the atmosphere I think.

There will be Tables and Chairs, Drinks, Poker and food served from Friday evening until Sunday Lunchtime. You can sit for your grub, or take it out in a mess-tin. There will always be a vegitarian option running alongside the meat, and all food will be cooked in good old cast iron.

Everything will be paid for in dollars (or credit) in game, and there will be an honesty box for real money to help towards the actual running costs which people can contribute to as the see fit.

If anybody wants to rely solely on the cookhouse for his or her food for a weekend, then that is absolutely fine. If they could let me know in advance of an event, then I can work out a cost, make sure they will be provided for, and ensure that enough grub is reserved for them on the day so they do not go hungry.

I am trying to think of the humble way to say 'the food will be really good'.... But I can't think of it.

Anyway, some examples of what I tend to do on an open fire are below. My point being 'This cookhouse don't heat up cans and call it cookin'

Mutton and Redcurrant Stew


Root Vegetable Gumbo


Pan fried fish with mash and honeyed snap beans.

Overcooked? No!

Bacon that is not crispy is undercooked.

Plus thin crispy bacon is the way it's always served in the USA. Not the crappy thick undercooked gammon we get over here...

I say cock and balls to your crispy bacon !!! Meat is supposed to chewy, not crunchy !!!

[Yith]

Well you can keep your chewy cock and balls and I'll have my extra tasty crispy bacon.

[Target]

yeah....what he said!

[Wladek]

You will all eat the goddamn bacon the way I stick it on your goddam plates!

Well, those of you who can afford it will. For everyone else there's Grits... nothing says 'hearty breakfast' like boiled corn.

Poker Tables

A Poker table will be run through the day, with more available on an evening as needed.

Poker tables will be run with house chips and are a $100 buy in, with a 10% house cut.

Games will be 5 card draw and any cheating will be dealt with swiftly and severely.

A Table may be reserved for a high-stakes game, if there are enough people with the cash.
