The Burnt Offering
A booby prize for whichever dish comes off worst, decided by a show of hands once everybody has tasted round the table.
Nothing at all
10 min
Anybody in the room
Sitting down
None needed
How to run it
One show of hands, once the tasting is done.
The rule
- With every dish already tasted and marked, the room votes on the one that went the most wrong.
- Whoever made it takes the prize, once the numbers are revealed.
- It is a genuinely fond prize, not a real judgement on anybody's cooking.
Worth knowing
- The instructor's honest opinion, if you can get it out of them, settles any tie.
What you need
- A booked cooking class — An instructor, a kitchen big enough for the group, and something everybody plates up at the end venue
Nothing here has to be bought.
Before the day
Run this straight after Whoever Made This, while the same plates are still out.
If it goes badly
Keeps the offending dish and finishes it, in front of everybody.

The Handicap
Everybody writes down the time they think they will take. Closest to their own guess wins, so the slowest man out there can take it.
Out With Time to Spare
First team out of the room, or first to beat whatever average time the room posts on its own wall. Either way, the clock decides it.
The Partner Quiz
Questions answered by the groom's partner in advance. The groom guesses what he said.
Grill Master
