We've just taken part in this year's Palmer & Howells catering competition on the theme of 'food noise'
Our young people put together a menu of crunchy (and noisy!) nachos with crudités. Dessert was an equally noisy Banging Fridge Biscuit Cake.
Sally and Mike from Palmer & Howells visited earlier this week to judge the competition, entering the dining room through a noisy pasta curtain. They were given sleep shades so they could experience lunch without sight, choosing unseen food, finding it on the plate (and eating it without too much spillage!). Even drinks had to be measured out using a liquid level indicator.
After-dinner entertainment came in the form of 'food music', accompanied by homemade seed shakers.
PS: We're hoping for a much quieter lunchtime today! ...
