Key Lime Pie and the Czech Hoska
| Origin | Winter Camp XXXII (2008) |
| The Story | These two recipes were part of the World Christmas Dinner. They were found in a cookbook and then transcribed into the Menu database for Winter Camp. This had some of the typical issues, notably that most of the ingredients were changed from typical baking measurements like teaspoons and cups into weights, which left some guesswork in the process. The preparation was further complicated by being moved from the familiar Beaver Creek kitchen to the Trout Lake kitchen owing to a power outage. The hoska had 14 ingredients and 5 steps, but since it was a baked good, almost nothing appeared of the original units. Several of the steps were actually multiple tasks and there were some complex directions about braiding the dough that really could have used a picture. The Key Lime Pie had 8 ingredients, most of which were in their original units. On the other hand, there were 18 steps in the process. The key lime pie filling netted a photo that outsiders later assumed was photo-shopped given its nuclear neon green color. Both recipes mostly succeeded, but it took quite a bit of man- and brain-power to make it happen. |
