Collaborative Lunch



Safia, Sue and I went along to Consatance's collaborative sandwich workshop in the Pennine Suite in the All Saints building. We were told where to sit, given a bag with an ingredient in it and asked to follow the instructions provided. We were also given loaves of bread.






When we opened our bags, we collected together all the ingredients,

                                            lime
                                           rocket
                                            apple
                                          houmous
                                            grapes
                                           walnut
                                          avocado
                                         mushrooms
                                           carrots

and chose to pick coriander and olive oil from the condiment table.
We decided to chop the carrots, coriander and spring onions, squeezed the lime and grated some walnut (not something I've ever done before) and decided to leave the grapes, carrot and mushrooms out of the sandwich, to form a small salad to dip in the left over houmous. 




The finished sandwich
The finished sandwich looked and tasted really great and the flavours were a combination that I would never have put together otherwise; because several people were involved, the ingredients were used in different ways to make something fresh and new. I would definitely do a similar thing in an art and design context, as it has made me realise the benefits of collaborating with other people.
