Fourth-year Built Environment student Puck Kirsten (21) says Cervix House, located in “the most entertaining street of Eindhoven”, is the most active house of SSRE. All nine residents enjoy a good meal and they’re members of three different SSRE chapters. ‘Chef’ Jerry Pollux (fifth-year Built Environment) and Emma Strien (fourth-year Industrial Engineering) are throwing together a meal for six without using a recipe. We count five residents and a guest. Apart from Bram Pals (24), sixth-year Industrial Engineering at Fontys, everyone is on the SSRE board. “I was on the board two years ago, so I guess it’s a Cervix thing.”
Do you have any traditions?
“We have a Cervix night once a month where everyone is present for a nice dinner. After that, it’s booze time. Our next Cervix night is set for late October. The house party we threw last summer was a smash hit, so that could become a tradition as well. The next one will be held in spring, probably”, says Bram.
Where does your name come from?
“Well, the cervix is where life begins”, says Pals, and he grabs the statuette. They don’t know too much about the name other than that. “It’s in our logo, though.”
Recipe: meatballs in tomato sauce with grilled veggies and nachos
Brush slices of eggplant and zucchini with a mix of oil and herbs, and grill them in a special grill pan to get those lovely stripes on the vegetables.
'Squeeze' meatballs by emptying four (pig meat) sausages and fry them in butter. Add a package of tomato/garlic sauce and some salt, pepper, some soy sauce and ketchup and let it simmer for a while.
Add a large cup creme fraiche with chili sauce and mix it.
Slice up an avocado, and add dices of tomato, garlic, red onion, a squeeze of lemon juice, a sliced hot pepper, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix it all to a nice guacamole.
Let the stacking begin: scatter the nachos (three-four bags for six persons) on a backing plate, put the guacamole, the chilisauce and two bags of grated cheese on top of it. Put it in the oven for about ten minutes, and done!
Enjoy your meal!
