Let the games begin…

Well, it’s New Years Eve and every year we throw a party for the Goof Troop and normally a few oddballs that are tag alongs, but every year its been a good party and everyone enjoys themselves. So last year we tried “Feats of Strength” from Festivus, we had the milk jug test, the hand in ice water, the standing on one foot the longest and then we also had unlabeled food that people had to eat a spoonful of if they drew that car. It was nothing too serious, it was spicy Vienna sausages, lamb baby food, etc. Just things that you wouldn’t normally eat but might make you gag a little. Well that turned out to be a hit, so this year we will be following up the “Feats of Strength” with “Eating Around The World”. (I basically hit the international food aisle at Wegmans to buy things that I’m sure none of us have tried.)

So this year we will have a few rounds of “Eating Around The World” I have 8 items, possibly 9 if Dinker provides something that he had mentioned. I split them into two groups of four and labeled the bottom of each with a number 1-4. I figure the game will go like this, a Goof Trooper will roll until he/she gets a 1 or a 2, that will decide which group they will be tasting, then they will roll again until they get a number 1 – 4, and this will determine what their “prize” will be.

On to the “prizes”:

Group 1:

In this group we Pulpo or Octopus in Olive Oil, Sardines in spicy oil, Potted Meat (**made with Beef and Chicken, mmmmmmm my mouth is watering, two of my favorites in one item, if only they threw in some bacon.), and finally some Vegemite from the land down under.

Group 2:

In this group, we have Roasted Eel from Japan, some Spotted Dick from England, (I’m pretty sure Cpt. Insano already has Spotted Dick, but that’s another story), Marmite from the land down the under, and finally Shrimp Flavored Chips (probably the most mild of all the prizes) which surprisingly is a product of the USA.

So this should be fun, there will be plenty of pictures from “Eating Around The World” as well as the rest of the night. So depending how well I feel tomorrow I’ll be posting.

Good Night and Happy New Year!!
