There is just barely the off chance that the person running the contest has 
seen these references and wants to encourage folks to try it out and/or 
search for more information.  IN other words, they could be on "our side."  
_Has_ anyone contacted the gentle in charge of the event or competition to 
request clarification?  There is some discussion of showing up with the 
pastilles recipes, though it "won't win" because of the assumption that the 
contest is for perioide stuff with chocolate added. Jumping to that 
conclusion and stomping up and down on the idea is the sort of behaviour 
that earns that epithet we all would shun. Clarifying the situation, and 
then choosing to enthusiastically take part or ignore it as not worthy would 
be a better standard.

Bonne
