As per the title. You can not imagine how tempted I am to lace dessert with weed or cook with strong sprits to spice the conference up a bit.

I need ideas what too cook for them any one help?

Make it based on Cream of Mushroom Soup.

It's what they're used to.

(barf)

You could make a nice tiramisu. It will cover coffee and rum. :)

If I make funneral potatoes will they think some one has died?

Ha I love tirimisu I'd eat it all

A grand sum of around £50 for 120 missionaries plus speakers etc. That is about $75

Seriously? Your budget is approximately 50 cents US per head?

WTF do they expect you to do, pull off a loaves and fishes miracle?

I concur with the poster below who says to stick strictly with the budget. 50 cents a head will buy lots of Ramen.

May I suggest a main course that gets its liquid from the firmented grape? ;) This is the Anthony Bourdain version of the French classic (and a personal favorite of mine).

How much budget have you been given? Any?

someone was recently prosecuted for adding 'extra ingredients' to some brownies served at home (not telling guests); i don't advise it.

Never, ever lace a food product with a psychotropic like cannabis and serve it to unsuspecting persons. You don't know if someone is allergic or will have a bad reaction of any kind to it.

That is a business lunch and what they really expect is for you to feel sorry for the kids and use your own money. $1.50 per person is stupid. I have been to lunches for TSCC mucky mucks and the meal was catered and the budget was $25 per person.

I believe you are in England - The best thing you can do is serve real American style hot dogs and hamburgers. The children at the meeting (120 of them) will love you.

Sorry, but English food is gross. Fish & Chips on newspaper however, is way cool.

"Sorry, but English food is gross."

I'm guessing you haven't been to England lately ...

I was tempted to get loads of pizzas some dortios and dip and loads of pop (soda) with non laced brownies cookies etc for afters. Just like I would provide for teenagers movie night but that isn't healthy enough. Some of these guys and girls look like skeltor they need a good feed! They can expect me to put my money in all they want I will suggest they use some of my tithing money to make up short fall.

What english food are you talking about?

I would have loved that as a missionary, but the MP's wife was a nutrition nazi, we were never allowed to eat anything but salad in her presence.

did they remind you of jesus feeding the masses when they gave you that budget?

I would order as many pizzas delivered as that budget will allow and watch them fight over it.

Wager with others about who the victors will be.

Go vegetarian. Call it a Word of Wisdom meal. Meat only in times of famine, you damn hypocrites.

Or ask everyone in the ward to donate their unwanted food storage. Call it the "end of days" meal. Powdered eggs over wheat berries. Mmmm.

What a ridiculous budget! You might consider Chinese fried rice and a Chinese main course heavy on vegetables and light on meat. I would also stick strictly to the budget. Let them see what that money buys.

^^^This^^^

In America, chili and cornbread are also cheap to make and feed a crowd.

I am to afraid to ask for donations. I fear they would donate loads for the rightious missionaries; whereas I got 3 easter egg donations for kids at the food bank for the poor. I think I would loose all faith in humanity. Also I think the brainwashed servants of the Lie LTD company have a sh!t enough deal with out having to deal with some old dears tinned peaches from the early 70's.

My thoughts exactly, Doxi.

The ridiculously small budget is the Head Honcho's way of assuming that you, and other "volunteers," will actually pony up cash out of your own pocket to buy the ingredients for a decent dinner.

Either that, they expect you to steal food.

Exactly. They expect people to donate food. Giving to the church only starts with tithing.

Who nominated you?

Learn to say NO when others seek to exploit you and un-nominate yourself today.

You couldn't give them a tea or desert service for that.

They aren't good at budgeting...
Unless they are feeding themselves: poor mishies. Good luck lex

You could get into legal trouble with weed laced food.

However, if you do do this, try to incorporate as much booze and coffee as possible.

I'd like to think that somewhere, a church lawyer is panicking as he races to contact all the missions about possible tampering.

It will be hard to incorporate any booze or coffee for about 75 cents a head.

You could immediately email them back with William Tecumseh Sherman's statement regarding another tough job, the US presidency: "If nominated, I will not run; if elected I will not serve!"
