On the 23rd of March 2009 the initiator of the first annual Rover Cooking Competition, Lucky Bembe, gathered 24 Rovers (Scouts aged 18-25 yrs) from three districts Mpumalangas from Hazyview, Nkomazi and Nsikazi. Divided into three groups they fought very hard in order to win the first price, a challenge cup with a cooking pot and the inscription “Rover Cooking Award” on top and a badge with the name of the winning team on the side. As a neutral judge I had to estimate the cleanliness, organization and safety of the cooking area and thereafter I had to rate presentation, originality, taste and temperature of the meal. Since it was the first time for all of us doing this cooking competition, we faced a time problem and the food of the three teams for eight Rovers and two judges was served with a delay of one hour. After several security checks and double checking the scores we finally announced the winner of this year Rover Cooking Award and it went to the Rovers from Hazyview. Hip Hip Hurray!
You know, since you were faced with a time problem, you should have invited me to assist with the taste testing. Looking at that plate of food shown above, I would have been MORE than happy to help!! ^^
