So if you happen to be Dutch. I just served a reception for your countries princess... like 2 hours into my shift doing prep I decided to ask "whats with all the dutch flags and licorice?"
So yeah that was a fun, here is what we served her.
MussKulls! The sauce was some Creole Dijon dressing we have, then I saw the chef toss in a shitload of garlic and a good cup or so of Gin. Gross.
Other platter is some potato thing with like a deviled egg in the middle. Also pretty terrible.
Open-face sandwiches. Prosciutto melon, crab, chicken salad, Brie tomato, and smoked salmon.
I had to be told about 10 times what these were called, and it was a waste of everyones time because I forgot again.
The translation is "little cake". and thats what they are. Also, wild chocolate crocombouche appears. (spelling)
Cheese platter, and I did not carve those melons... but my manager decided to tell our organizer that it was me, and he decided to get carried away and say I am the chef that does allll of the carvings. About 5 other people overhear this, so now I get to explain to 6 VIP, rich ass people, how I do it, how long it takes, how long I've been doing these things.... I've never done it, I had no idea... thankfully the organizer and I think 2 others were drunk so I was able to pull that one off... while having a heart attack...
Cheese were Gouda, Edam, and a Gouda with Cumin seeds which was so totally awesome.
To the left are some licorice candies, little tarts and cakes, and a fuckton of different gingerbread cookies. I was called away before I could finnish. We also served hot H'ors D'ouvres that were passed around.
All our staff was warned. There will be three armed CSIS gaurds around her at all times. You are not to go anywhere near her. If she wants a drink, or food, she will get her people to tell a manager.
I have no clue why she was even here :/
Anyway... that was fun. Bonus pic, different event, I made this bird our of a zuchini and snuck it into this display. Weee!
