Goulash cannon revival: Nora inspires Schwerin with soul food from the kettle!
A very special culinary experience is now on offer at the Dreescher Markt in Schwerin: Nora Hartlöhner's field kitchen. The trained hairdresser and flight attendant has been in business for two weeks now and is already enjoying great popularity. Their menu includes delicious stews such as pea soup and kettle goulash. Depending on how hungry they are, guests are served a small portion for 5 euros or a large portion for 6 euros. Preparation is traditionally done over a fire, but gas is currently available on the market.
The experience of her oldest customer is particularly touching: Adolfine, a 99-year-old lady, brought her own bowl and talks passionately about her escape from East Prussia. Such stories and the pleasant atmosphere attract many visitors, who start lining up shortly after 11 a.m.
A passion for cooking
Nora, who comes from Augustenhof near Crivitz, has made a real dream come true with her field kitchen, a Czech model from 1972. She lived out her love of cooking not only as a hobby, but also through her own catering service. In the future, she even plans to offer her field kitchen for events with 80 people or more and to travel to markets with three kettles. Each of them holds 76 liters of stew - so you can be prepared for a huge selection!
The dishes that Nora prepares are part of a long tradition that was started by the army and originally served to feed soldiers. The goulash cannon has become a popular element at festivals and outdoor events. Whether traditional goulash dishes or exotic curries – the variations are almost endless. According to an article from Kochenmeister.de, there are even creative recipes for vegetarian alternatives and international influences such as Thai curry or Spanish paella, which can ensure sociable evenings in the garden.
Customer feedback and expectations
Nora receives positive feedback from her customers who are delighted with the taste and quality of her stews. Organic ingredients and health-conscious alternatives expand their offering and appeal to a wide audience. The decision to start the field kitchen was a matter of the heart for Nora, to which she is now responding with commitment and dedication. She has the right touch for this business!
Overall, Nora Hartlöhner's example shows that with passion and a dose of courage, big dreams can be realized. From hairdresser to field cook – an all-round successful turn that will hopefully find many imitators. The idea of goulash cannon parties not only offers plenty of scope for creativity in the kitchen, but also for social gatherings and the exchange of stories.
