Report written by StephDucat
After celebrating Goodgym Ealing 9th birthday in the park, both Nishy and Steph Ducat headed to St John's church to help feed the homeless. As we both arrived a bit early, we were tested on our wrapping : not gift wrapping but creating wraps that would be fried for the guests thatwould be coming later in the afternoon. Different approach from the team : roll it like a cigarette or like an ice cream cone and put the filling in without it getting out. We created edible masterpieces. Once all done, Ash the chef, fried them. Customers started coming in and Nishy was serving drinks and helping in the main foyer. Steph Ducat was in the kitchen helping and cleaning all the pots and pans and assisting kitchen crew when needed. So it was fried fille tortilla filled with mince, potatoes, spices etc. There were also some jacket potatoes with cheese and some vegetable soup. Fruit salad was also served. Busy shift and then Steph Ducat was hit by a storm of plats, cups, bowls and pots. How many cups have they used and didnt match the number of guests? Seems that they used several cups instead of reusing theirs. In the end guests had full tummy's and left with some takeaway food like bananas. some fried tortillas, bread, fruit etc.. Nishy helped clearing the foyer and Steph Ducat cleaning the kitchen.
We are clearly wrap artists as the wraps went down a treat and none broke or disintergrated in the oil.
Ealing Soup Kitchen is a registered charity set up to help the vulnerable and homeless in the area. Nine local churches support our faith-based Soup Kitchen, which has been running since 1973.
