SC - non-messy, period, dayboard-type food

[Susan Browning]

Greetings,

Even beef jerky will leave grease on the fingers.  Fruit will leave sticky
from the juice.  If I put as much work into a project as your average
needleworker, I would definately want to wash my hands after eating
anything.  Personally, I would arrange some way to have hand washing
available, even if you need to heat the water.  Then you could serve any
finger foods you want :-)

Ladies and gents, I've got a question for you all...  In a moment of
madness, I offered to do a dayboard for an embroidery event. The Person in
Charge recently gave me the stipulation that the food has to be
'non-messy' to eat, so that the embroiderers don't have to worry about
washing their hands.

*sigh* I'm flummoxed. Everything I can think of (other than apples,
pears, dry bread, prince's bisket, candies, gingerbread, and MAYBE hard
cheese) sounds to me as if you might want to wash your hands before
touching cloth unless you used a spoon or fork to eat with.  Somebody in
my shire wants us to do beef jerky, a suggestion that I'd prefer to avoid
or minimize (and pass off to someone who actually likes the stuff to
make).

I can tell that I'm definitely thinking 'inside the box' so any
suggestions that I can take to the Person in Charge are welcome. (Stefan,
I've already printed out the finger-foods.msg...

" Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees
That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees,
So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray
For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!" -- Kipling
