Vegetable?  Was it baked on site (per rules 2 and 3)?  Or was it pre-baked
(per rule 3)?  And I'd certainly like to hear the recipe, if you ever chance
to learn it.

I'd say you need to add a baked goods category to this competition, but I
admit to being prejudiced.

Spectator sport?  Only from a distance.  If you get too close, the cook may
put you to work.
