Outline (one of those introductions, not the demo party)

Limp Ninja is a demo scene collective known for their poor distinction between 4k size-coding and serving Korean food to attendants of demo parties. So when Outline 2012 was held, members of Limp Ninja and a handful of volunteers churned out a freshly made Indian curry, much to the overall enjoyment of people present.

At Outline 2013 we did that again and guess what, we're going to do it again. Yes, that's right: healthy and delicious Indian food at a demoparty. Again.

What we'll be offering

The spread will consist of Tandoori-style Chicken Curry (vegetarian option available) and Red Lentil Daal served with white rice, cornflour pancakes, raita, a few kinds of pickle and some seasonings.

We'll serve this up on friday evening, in multiple batches. It'll be very similar to the way food waves work at other demo parties, except with a faster cycle and your food will not look like this.

How this works

Outline offers a food upgrade on top of the regular ticket, as described on the Outline website. This covers the curry we're making.

If you paid for your ticket (and food upgrade) in advance, you'll receive a ticket while checking in. This is a great time to specify whether you want vegetarian/vegan options or have certain food allergies. At dinner time, we'll ask for that ticket. Don't eat the ticket in advance.

If you feel like a fool for not taking the food upgrade in advance, don't worry: you can still purchase the upgrade when checking in at the door. It is also possible to purchase upgrades for individual days at the door.

Questions that ought to be frequently asked

• I'm Scandinavian and/or not really good with spicy food. Can I eat this without writhing on the floor in agony, bellowing with pain?

  We'll be adjusting the spice level to a moderate level so the general public can eat it, but that question is very subjective. If you blanch at trace amounts of pepper, you'll consider this hot. Chili freaks will probably scoff at this.

  Don't let that deter you though, we're serving a soothing raita to cool you down. Just stir a spoonful into your curry to neutralise the spice a bit.

• I'm a vegetarian, is there anything on your menu that I can eat?

  Absolutely! The one thing that contains meat is the chicken curry, but we make up for that with a vegetable curry. Just ask for the vegetarian option while ordering.

  The red lentil daal is compatible with Vegans, and we're happy to whip up some more interesting side dishes if there's any demand. Do note that we will give you a disparaging look if you start projecting your weird, unhealthy lifestyle choices on other people.

• Are those tickets really necessary? Can't I just queue up?

  We're afraid they're a necessary evil. Having everybody at the bar at the same time will clog up the throughput. Think of it as a limited data bus, we're sure you get the point.

  We're also trying to avoid food waste so we're using ticket numbers to estimate our food output. If you drop by after the initial food waves, you run the (admittedly remote) chance to find we're out.

• I have food allergies, can I still eat your food?

  Depends, really. Allergies are a fickle subject but we tend to work around the serious ones. Get in touch with us so we can see if your particular allergy is a problem.
