These different ingredients are raw and some of them even extraordinary, like, for example, kangaroo or gnu. Then the guest gives the bowl to the cook who roasts it with a marinade chosen before.
It is cashed up over the times how often the guest fills up the bowl. Who just goes to the buffet once, pays € 12,90 and who goes more often, pays a total of € 19,90.
