Mystery Dinner #2
Contributed by Madelene Gray - Community 33, Hanover, Severn, Jessup, MD
I have a menu and the mystery dinner order form that went with it. I got the information from a friend we used to camp with years ago just because it was so humorous. They had done it at her church. Maybe some of the troops might want to try it for a fund raiser.
FRONT COVER
"Menu" for title with a notation to decorate according to season or

List all of your menu on the left side of the inside cover of your menu. Choose to serve either four courses of 6 items each or seven courses of four items each. All information should be typed.
Clear the table after each course except for the glass of water.

P.S. We Offer Tums for the Tummy. Anyone leaving anything on his plate will help with the dishes. The staff of this joint does accept tips.
Customers select items from the list on the left and complete their menu order on the right side of the page.
They are only given the items they order (including silverware, napkins, etc. Remember, the table is cleared except for the glass of water between courses....remember you do NOT include the name in ()'s.
Customers can be allowed to order more than one of the same item either during the same course or for the different courses (especially if they want a fork or spoon to eat with).
I can think of some Girl Scout recipes from WAGGGS-L cookbook that could even be served on this menu (Ants on a Log, Roses in the Snow, Sand/Dirt in a Bag, Darn Goods, Moose Lips, Ticks on a Toilet Seat, Trash, Bird Seed, Bug Juice, etc. just to mention a few) or that at least could trigger some ideas for names or recipes http://www.oocities.org/Yosemite/5307/toc.html
