In
addition to the traditional Bring & Buy Sale, we had a Harvest Quiz, an idea
from Sheila, which involved tasting a variety of dishes brought in my members
to determine the ingredients. Although
the final scores were not very high, everyone enjoyed tasting the cakes, jams,
soup and savoury dishes.
