1 Hi all,
2
3 Still somewhat on short notice, but not undoable, I am planning a
4 Gentoo@FOSDEM dinner for saturday 4th of februari. The location will be in
5 the centre of Brussels, not far from the "Grand Place" ("Grote Markt" in
6 dutch) so very easily reachable with (public) transportation.
7
8 I set my eye on a restaurant called "Vert de Gris" which can serve a group
9 of tired but hungry people. Although I have no experience with the
10 restaurant myself, I did get positive feedback from some people and since
11 the restaurant is available, I am hoping this will give us all a good
12 accomodation - and food ;-)
13
14 To allow proper service for a group of people, the restaurant does ask for a
15 selection of one of their group menu's (not some people the first menu and
16 some the second) but the menu's themselves offer the necessary choice to
17 support the stomachs of most of us.
18
19 Below you can find the two menu's offered (freely translated) and their
20 price. I would appreciate it if you could tell me (if you participate) which
21 menu you would like and if the other menu is doable for you as well (that
22 way I can select the most popular menu and still know if people that
23 selected the other are still interested in participating).
24
25 If you also already know the more detailed selected (within the menu) that
26 would be appreciated as well, but there is still time left for that later (I
27 do need to confirm the number of participants soon though). The restaurant
28 sais they have sufficient room for larger groups (I originally thought about 20
29 people but they can host much more) so I don't think a "seat limit" is
30 needed (unless I now get thousands of positive replies ;)
31
32 Also, this is open for both developers and contributors/users.
33
34 Menu 1 (¤ 49,50 per person)
35
36 - Apéritif
37 - Entree
38 * Vegetables flan with pepper coulis
39 or * Grilled shrimp with garlic and tomatoes
40 or * Salmon tartare with leman and honey
41 - Main course
42 * Fried sole, wild rice and green curry
43 or * Picatta of chicken, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, herb oil
44 or * Papardelle del bosco (pasta with mushrooms, olives, bacon)
45 - Dessert
46 * Warm apple pie with ice cream
47
48 Water & wine is included as well (I'll ask to put sufficient focus on
49 non-alcoholic support as many people suggested that this is preferred).
50
51 Menu 2 (¤ 60,00 per person)
52
53 - Apéritif
54 - Entree
55 * Ravioli with scampi, wasabi cream
56 or * Home shrimp croquettes
57 or * Roasted red mullet fillets deposited on an eggplant caviar flavored
58 with fresh basil
59 - Main course
60 * Leg of lamb roasted with garlic and plain potato
61 or * Roast beef with shallots, potato gratin
62 or * Grilled salmon and shrimp in a butter sauce, with leeks
63 - Dessert
64 * Fine apple tart
65 or * Chocolate cake
66
67 Again, water & wine is included.
68
69
70 I hope this is something most people can choose from and is in their
71 allocated budget. If that isn't the case, please tell me (first time I
72 organise something like this for people I have hardly met in person - some
73 exceptions notwithstanding ;-)
74
75 Wkr,
76 Sven Vermeulen
