[Sca-cooks] Re: Exploding Cabbage

[Johnna Holloway]

The MK Cooks List carried this description---
The Entrement - Le Chou Eclatant - was a large paper mache cabbage made
by my very talented lady wife.  The mechanism that worked so well in
testing (a balloon inside a 4" diameter tube, with a balloon pump)
failed on the first go round, so I had the crew carry it back into the
kitchen, reset the silly thing, and we brought it out again.  I was
told that the failure and repetition actually made it all somewhat
funnier.  The second time it worked - sort of.  Instead of shooting out
broccoli pieces in a 4 foot radius, one lone floret popped out, which I
then presented to St. Dorinda.

Maybe Doc will elaborate further.
