It seems I’ve made myself busy again. In amongst the various engagements that I have entangled myself in for the near future one is sticking out as rather interesting – The Blagger’s Banquet, as kicked off by Niamh from EatLikeAGirl.

In standard fashion I have managed to con my way into the organising of a rather interesting event. The Blagger’s Banquet basically goes down like this:

1. A bunch of bloggers take over Hawksmoor on Sunday November 15th
2. We cook a charity meal for 50 covers
3. ?
4. Profit!

Luckily in this situation step three (actually step 0, but that would fall outside of the scope of a cheap South Park reference and as such I have ignored reality) is defined – blag stuff. The plan is to obtain all the necessary material for the construction of said banquet by means of blagging, as suggested by the name. We’ve been approaching purveyors of food and drink asking for freebie stuff to both serve on the night as well as to auction off afterwards, all in aid of Action Against Hunger (the same guys who were in on NomNomNom) and we now have a list of tasty items that almost constitute a meal (although I think we need a few more veggies to water down the booze and meat combo we currently have going).

I don’t know how much they’ll cost or when they’ll go on sale, but there will be tickets, and there will also be an auction for some rather nice food and drink related items. I’ll stick something up here when either of them appear online. But in the meantime, if any of you nice people have contacts in the consumables industry and you think that they’d want to give us free stuff then please let me know – the more stuff the merrier.

Now to go and beg some fridge space from work…
