A Cooking Compo G'day y'all My father has just finished scanning some photo's of my groups five dollar meal into his computer and told me to send this out to ask who wants these copies photo's since it will take about half an hour to download them. To those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talking about I'll explain, for one of the recent youth group events we had to make a meal for one person spending only five dollars. I ended up in a group with Ryan and Drew(already you can see that something..."interesting" is going to happen)and Daniel, Gavin, and Michelle. We went off to Pak'n'save Papanui with absolutely no plan about what we were going to buy, and so we troop in there with about a trolley per person to carry five dollars worth of stuff(chaotic already, eh). We start in the vegetable area where we decide to plan our meal. Our plan ended up of mainly consisting of whatever looked cheap we would buy along with some chocalate pudding. We purchased a lettuce, a piece of corn, a Ernest Adams Shepherds pie, a bag of instant pudding, a packet of jelly, and a couple of batteries as seasoning(you read correctly b-a-t-t-e-r-i-e-s). With about one item per cart we reach the checkout to some very strange looks. On arriving home we proceded to discuss our method of serving our unusual meal the group democratically decided on the each method(one person made a suggestion everyone accepted it, the end(there was a distinct lack of oxygen in that room that night)). We did things to food which my mother never wants to see again. Have you ever seen a lettuce baked in an oven until it looks two weeks old and then smeared with chocalate pudding, corn fried in butter, a cold Shepherds pie covered in jelly, jelly served as a drink, and a rubber and batteries served as appetisers. The piece-de-resistance was Drew's infamous "I-can't-believe-its-not-mashed-potatoes", Drew went into the bathroom and came back with an UNUSED roll of perfumed toilet paper which he proceded to unroll and place in a bowl he then added water and milk and began to mash it after it was thoroughly mashed we added yellow food dye and half to a cup of salt(according to rumour the perfume was still able to be tasted through all that salt). That is the meal we ended up serving to Grant and Hamish it certainly was..."interesting" to watch their expressions as they first ate the jelly-covered pie(which up to then people thought was a dessert pie), the lettuce(which looked more like cabbage by this stage), the corn(whose powerful aroma was drifting through the whole room), and the "I-can't-believe-its-not-mashed-potatoes"(their expressions though they expected something was up gave them away when they took their first bite of it; they were doing all they could to swallow it). All in all I think it was a great evening but unfortunately we did not have a camera at the judging to take photo's of their expressions. Anyway there is the story if anyone wants the copies of the photos email back to me and I will send them out to you. God bless you, Jared |
