Mumsnet Village Show - An Afternoon Tea Tray for One

[Slubberdegullion]

So here we are again.

So far the rules are:

Tea tray for one

Can include anything you want suitable for a summer high tea (sandwiches, scones, cake, biscuits etc) with suitable cutlery and crockery and the like. (Silver service if you are terribly posh)

Five quid budget (on top of what you already have in your larder).

SlightlyMadScientist is the judge (heaven help us...is she properly qualified???)

Oh and all entries will be anonymous this time (A, B, C etc).

Time limit is 9pm next sunday so we can be judged before bed time.

The rules will obviously be bent or completely ignored but so long as its tea ish then anything goes.

No no no let me help him make real food

and do it on his tea set, in a children's category

gwan gwan gwan

[begs]

how about a childs category. can be EITHER real or plastic food.

i'm soooo not gonna win this one. I'm canadian FGS what do I know about high tea?

(PMD sudden;y realizes that she is now british)

disregard the above. what what.

OK - I shall be publishing rules and guidance to marking system some time tomorrow (tax return allowing)....until then any comments/suggestions regarding rules should be made for due consideration.

Well SMS is obviously madame judge here, but I'm all for a childrens tray too.

Oh I'm having a small warm moment at the thought of dd1 stood beside me making little scones, and iddy biddy sandwiches.

Go on SMS. perleese!

Oh and F&Z you're not gate crashing...any one can enter, makes it more edgy, especially if a MN Village Show virgin takes a rostee this time.

Oh that should be rosette

OH FFS recieving a potato.
durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

receiving

Oh I don't know.

The death of the black bird chick has badly shaken me today.

it's a good thing that slub's not the judge, franny. cause i'd think you were starting early on your bribes!!

Thank you F&Z. Bribe duly noted if I'm ever appointed a judge.

well I am out then

my scones are gone

and my doiley is oily

I'm with LL on the pronunciation

Ah LL doen't that depend on where you're from?

I also say scone as in gone but it does vary.

Here they rarely have scones- amusingly after uyears in Somerset I only ever heard of Devon Buns when I moved here LOL! And they don't have mille feuille like we did at home, they have ice slice- which is heavier eggy pastrry filled with custard and iced, no layers or conserve.

A sad loss

MrsFish...you better go and stand over there with LL.

Whats the fastest cake in the world?

Scone
