Wooden Spoon Grand Prix or Cookery Contest Budapest Style Number of guests: 10-100 persons Duration of programme: 2 hours The tour guide (animator) divides the participants into 4 teams and each team is given a task: shopping in the Market. In the red, yellow, green and blue shopping baskets (a different colour for each team), there is an envelope containing a list (in Hungarian) of the raw materials to be purchased and some money to cover the cost. The teams have half an hour for the shopping. Speed does not count but points are awarded for quality and the money spent. The winning team is the one that shops for the lowest prices and most precisely. Then the cooking competition begins. The teams select 2 competitors each, one to prepare the main dish, the other the dessert. Each contestant uses, cleans, chops, slices, etc. the raw materials purchased by his or her own team. Speed and uniformity of size are marked in evaluating the preparation of raw materials. The main attraction is the dessert, that is, frying the pancakes. The winner is the contestant who successfully tosses the pancake at first try; if several contestants succeed in this, they continue tossing until one of them makes a mistake. The winner receives a string of peppers and a certificate confirming that he or she has learnt the tricks of making goulash soup and cottage-cheese pancakes. At the end of the cooking competition the guests eat the dishes made, served individually.In addition for this evening we will also offer the menu attached. During the meal the orchestra plays popular melodies of internationally known Hungarian composers, operettas and other evergreens.
