Mutual Activity Idea

Mixed-up menu: a fun twist on service

Ever try eating spaghetti with a drinking straw? If you hold a “mixed-up menu” activity, then you might just get the chance. Here’s the basic approach: young men offer to cook and serve a three-course meal for the young women (or vice versa). Be sure to prepare and serve a tasty meal, but then add a twist with a wacky menu.

By way of planning, have fun coming up with creative and hard-to-guess names for the menu items—including forks, cups, and napkins. For example, a fork could be “Neptune’s Pride” and a drinking straw might be a “Vacuum Vortex.” Come up with 12 such items, including the actual food (a plate of spaghetti might be “Tangled and Tangy”). At the dinner, pass out menus along with a pencil. Tell each person to fill out the whole menu ahead of time by pre-selecting any four items per course.

For the first course, someone might end up with a cup, straw, napkin, and bowl of ice cream, but that’s the whole point! Separate each course by 10 minutes—adding new courses to the old ones—and let the adventure begin. Who knew service could be this fun?
