Summary of unusual foods we want to serve at the school festival’s mock stalls (71–80)
Watermelon splitting
Here’s a fun, game-like idea: a watermelon-splitting activity.
Many people already know the basic rules—participants are blindfolded and try to strike the watermelon.
Doing this at a school or cultural festival will definitely liven things up.
Adjust the distance from the starting point to the watermelon to set the difficulty just right.
And the more excitement you build, the better that watermelon will taste.
If you run out of watermelons, you can substitute balloons as a backup.
Hummus sandwich
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to offer a health-conscious menu? With that in mind, let me introduce a hummus sandwich.
First, hummus is a Middle Eastern dish made by blending chickpeas into a paste.
It’s typically eaten with vegetables.
This time, let’s try sandwiching it between bread.
That way, you can enjoy it easily with one hand.
A standard seasoning works well, but it also sounds fun to add originality with different vegetables and sauces.
Monte Cristo
Canada’s Monte Cristo sandwich is a hearty dish that’s like a fusion of French toast and a croque-monsieur.
It’s best enjoyed hot, just as the cheese is about to melt and ooze.
If you prep the fillings in advance, all you need to do is dip it in the egg mixture and grill—easy.
It also sounds delicious with customized fillings.
The large intestine envelops the small intestine.
Dàcháng bāo xiǎocháng is one of Taiwan’s popular street foods, known for its hot-dog-like appearance.
However, instead of a sausage in a bread bun, it sandwiches a sausage inside a glutinous rice sausage called nuòmǐcháng.
In addition to the sausage, it can also include fillings like vegetables, and the sauce is typically soy-based.
While it’s not commonly seen domestically, Taiwanese cuisine is popular even here, so this could attract attention as well.
fried ice cream
There are various theories, but it’s said that the first to invent tempura ice cream was the Japanese restaurant Tsunahachi, headquartered in Tokyo.
I’ll never forget the thrill of eating tempura ice cream for the first time.
It’s sure to become a booth that draws long lines, so let’s submit a “fried ice cream” plan before another group snatches it up! All you have to do is deep-fry choux ice cream wrapped in choux pastry or rock-solid frozen ice cream.
Add toppings like whipped cream, cinnamon, chocolate chips, and peppermint to make it even more Instagrammable.
Be sure to grab attention with a cute presentation!
Yaki Ramen (Pan-Fried Ramen)
Yaki-ramen is said to have been born at the food stalls of Hakata in Fukuoka, the home of tonkotsu ramen.
Although it’s quite unusual—ramen that’s fried—it’s surprisingly delicious! With no soup and a yakisoba-like form, it’s perfect for events like school festivals where people will likely be eating on the go.
The cooking is easy too: just stir-fry ramen noodles with the toppings, then coat them with broth and a special sauce.
There are also simple recipes that let you make it without simmering pork bones, so give it a try.
Grilled egg sandwich
When we think of an egg sandwich, we usually imagine egg placed between slices of bread.
But this egg sandwich is made in a new way: they pour egg over the entire griddle, lay the bread on top, add sauce, then fold it over to sandwich it.
The sizzling as it’s made is part of the appeal.
Sink your teeth into a piping-hot egg sandwich and enjoy the school festival!
