Wanted: Cooks and entertainers for competitions
Post date: Oct 05, 2012 10:15:32 AM
The Grand Order of the Lost Mathom celebrates its fifth anniversary Saturday October 13th, with a grand party at Songburrow Hall! As part of the anniversary, we will host a number of competitions, suitable for cooks and entertainers!
For signing up, see the contact information below.
There are three competitions, and the rules are as follows.
1 The Grand Anniversary Menu Competition
Every hobbit party needs a splendid festive meal, and we plan on serving a lovely three-course dinner to our guests. However, we would love your help in composing it! So please send us your suggestions!
Rules:
Write down a 3-course meal suitable for our party. The menu needs to follow this format: Starter, main course and pudding. Also suggest drinks to go with each course.
Please try to keep the menu somewhat hobbity, and avoid modern-day food or ingredients that hobbits would likely not have access to.
Please try to keep your meal descriptions short, but tempting.
Send your meal suggestion to us no later than Thursday October 11th, 11:59PM BST/UK time (6:59PM servertime). See contact information below.
A jury will chose their favourite meal, which will be presented and served at the party. The winning cook also receives a grand prize!
2 The Grand Cake-baking Competition
Every anniversary party needs a festive anniversary cake! And this year, we ask Shire cooks to bake one for us and bring it to the party to be judged!
Rules:
There will be a limited number of spots in the competition. To enter, please sign up in advance by contacting us, see information below.
The competition will be run sometime during the party on October 13th.
