Disgusting Delicacies: School Lunch Edition

9:00 AM - 11:59 PM
All Branches
Let your creativity run wild in this gross food challenge where we invite you to make the most disgusting delicacy you can imagine! For this round, we challenge you to use three mystery ingredients often found in school lunches and try to make a dish that would rival even the grossest school lunches! Register to receive a take-home kit with three disgusting mystery ingredients to incorporate into a dish of your own demise. Select your preferred Library branch location to receive your kit, then get ready to make a ghastly creation using all three ingredients (plus any others you want to use). Share a picture and description of your dish to MCPLTeen@monroe.lib.in.us by November 20. MCPL staff will then vote on the most creative dish and declare a winner who will receive a gift card to a restaurant of their choice! 

Please note that we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions, as all participants will receive the same ingredients. If you are unable to eat one of the ingredients, you are welcome to substitute something similar. Ages 12–19. Please register by November 6.

Tag us @MCPLIndianaTeen and use the hashtag #MCPLDisgustingDelicacies on social media.
