A culinary army will soon descend on the Grand Parade in preparation for the Cape Town FIFA Fan Fest.
About 200 Capetonians will work tirelessly behind the scenes to feed the literally thousands of visitors that are expected to arrive at the FIFA Fan Fest every day during the period of the World Cup. These range from butchers to bakers, to chefs, kitchen and serving staff.
On the menu will be traditional Cape dishes of Malay chicken curry, lamb neck poitjie, boerewors rolls and biltong amongst others. However, internationally popular food items will also be available. These include beef burgers, hot dogs, chicken prego rolls, fish goujons, calamari, lasagna, vegetable soup, vegetarian pizza and French fries. Snacks include crisps, chocolate and ice cream and all dishes will be Halaal.
The ovens will be fired up from 2am each morning to bake an estimated 150 000 bread rolls and buns, while chefs on site will prepare Vienna sausages, hamburger patties, chicken and an anticipated 7km of boerewors to fill the freshly baked rolls.
Hot meals such as the curry, poitjie and soup will be freshly prepared in 30 litre pots on site, in fully installed field kitchens equipped with convection ovens, bain-maries, grillers, dedicated gas installers and plumbing.
And spare a thought too for those preparing hot drinks. Using roughly 25kg of coffee, 5 tons of sugar and 6 000 litres of milk they will prepare around 300 000 cups of coffee alone.
Organisers also estimate there will be a demand for between 40 000 and 50 000 hectalitres of beer during the month of the World Cup, equating to between 8-million and 10-million beers.
Costs will range between R15 and R25 for the food menu, between R10 – R20 for beer and soft drinks.
