This food was prepared carefully by JSN who was the Chef during the DX-Camp of PUDXK at Haapavesi, Nortern Finland on August 2006. After the big arrangements of antennas and good food & sauna we noted nice Northern Lights on the sky and bad DX-conditions (Aug. 19 2006)! The beefs were prepared outside using Nordic wood and a grill pan not so comfortable (look at the picture) for our Chef but ok for the camp.
The meal consisted of:
* Green mixed salad (with olives and Feta Cheese).
* Steaks a la JSN with garlic potatoes (hand made, not frozen) – flamed with some Cognac.
* Grilled Mushrooms & sauce (no own mushrooms yet as the record dry summer).
* Arctic Berries with Caramel Sauce.
Drinks:
Starters wine: Murfatlar 1994 Romanian white whine (in cellar from the last Sunspot minimum 1996!)
Main dish wine: Tiempo Briego, Spain – Tempranillo (2004). Quite good, full-bodied and rich, fruity and spicy with oak taste a bit. TNX VeH who brought this nice bottle to us!
Alt. read wine: Bin 3000 South Australia – Merlot (2004). This one better when trying to catch medium wave Australians!
Wine with desserts: Murfatlar 1994 (yes some was left, so we were not heavy drinkers).
Unfortunately Arctic Berries can no more be found at the end of the beverage antennas – a pity now, the situation was better in 1970´s (during good dx conditions as well). The berries can be found more North and in the Lapland´s DX-pedition places.
