SC - Ideas for Girl Scout Demo feast?

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

We are asked for menu ideas for a bunch of Girl Scouts. I suggest the
following:

yrchouns (those little sausage gizmos that are made in the shape of little
hedgehogs. Just the thing for kids!)
ruzzige cake (bread, slathered with cheese and herbs, and garnished with
real flowers)
stuffed eggs (tastes almost exactly like devilled eggs, without the OOP
paprika)
One of the many sweet and sour chicken dishes (egredouce or cinnamon-orange
sauce on roasted bits)
roast beast and mustard and/or horseradish on the side
a compound salat, full of fun things
marchpanes, ie sugar cookies garnished with marzipan bits. Have the girls
help decorate.
pear puddings (little meatballs shaped like pears)
pippin puddings (apples stuffed with bread and spice, baked in cream)
"ypocras", ie spiced grape juice served in wine glasses, la de dah!
mushrooms, either stewed or pickled or both
bread, especially if you can get "trenchers" for them to use

anyway, here's just a few ideas. I believe all these recipes are available
in the Florilegions :).
good luck! I love doing food demos for kids...they have far fewer
misconceptions than their grownup counterparts, and are often far more
adventurous!
