[Sca-cooks] My experience with the Savory Tosted Cheese Contest

[Michael Gunter]

>3) The winner for phylo and chutney was awarded "most
>original interpretation".

LoL! Sorry, I just got an image of seving spaghetti and
meatballs with grated parmesian cheese on top winning
"Most Original Interpretation".

I think that if they wanted to reward that then the
"Cheese/meat stew" that Pug submitted should have
won. He stuck with the original recipe and presented
a very interesting variant on it. But still staying within
the boundries of the original recipe.

At least that's what Sara told me.

Throwing in non-period ingredients and adding things
not mentioned in the recipe or in the cuisine of the
culture is not "an original interpetation". It may be
an "inspiration" but certainly not a redaction.

But, to prevent me from sounding too stuffy, it sounds
like it was fun. Bryn Gwlad is famous for introducing the
notorious "Cheese Goo" to the kingdom.
