I have found that my job here in India involves many ceremonial duties that I never anticipated. This week, it was judging the monthly ladies club cooking contest. While many of our employees do eat meat, the tradition is for the contest to be 100% vegetarian. The contest has the following rules:
- There is one seasonally fresh ingredient that must be used.
- There are 8-10 optional ingredients.
- Three judges will score based on Taste, Quality, and presentation in that order of importance.
I guess I should have taken pictures of the winners holding their dishes, but I didn't really think about it.
There were 27 dishes in all. We picked the top three and three consolation prizes. I don't know what the winners got, but they had gifts for the judges. I got a pen.
