Cookie War: War in Full Flour
Cookie Marshal-in-Charge: Meinhard Hammerschmidt
From Marshal Meinhard comes this challenge: Bring out your deadliest cookies and pit them against the best of your fellows from across the Midrealm! The rules:
- Drop off your cookies between 8am and noon on Saturday. Populace judging will be from noon to 4pm.
- Entrants are invited to notify the Marshal of their intent to enter the competition.
- The Duel will be held at a neutral location near the Magic Carpet Kavehane on the NOWM Village Green (surrounding the pavilion).
- Cookies should be provided in ziploc bags or disposable aluminum roasting pans (i.e., not in anything that will have to be returned to the entrant).
- All entrants should identify their cookies with the name and type of cookie. The entrant's SCA name should be affixed in such a way that it can be detached or obscured (e.g., on the bottom of an aluminum pan), so that a blind taste-test can take place, but proper glory can be given the winner(s) of this all-important Cookie Duel.
- You may bring as many types of cookies as you like, but only one variety will be judged.
- Eight cookies will be sequestered for judging by The Royals in attendance, should They decide to participate. Entrants are asked to supply an additional amount (totalling about 3 dozen) so that the populace may also sample.
