Bush Tucker Trial

We had our Bush Tucker Trial tonight to finish off the session before Easter.

After each challenge the losers or sometimes the winners were sent off to the dungeon to sample some exotic fare.
We had spider soup (rice pudding with raisins), frogspawn (tapioca pudding), jellied snake (gummy worm in jelly), curl grub in chocolate (chocolate covered raisins), dingo meat (chicken), kangaroo poo (wheatabix made up with chocolate milk) and a few other similar delicacies. It was an incredible example of mind over matter as very few manged to actually eat any of it, even after we explained what it really was.
Strange enough, they all ate the hot dogs even the ones who claimed they were vegetarians.
Since it was the first good night we were able to get outside for a bit and after a few games and setting off Chinese lanterns it was back inside for the winners announcement.
One cub who actually didn't manage to eat any more than anyone else, but who did show great courage in trying it all first was awarded the bush tucker prize and carried on Scout shoulders around the room.
