It's traditional at the Rendezvous to have a "mystery meat" dish. Haggis was this year's most exotic dish; we told the squeamish it was "Scotch Meatloaf." But there were also venison pasties, a dish largely unknown to southern Indiana. Even some adults mispronounced the dish, with comic results.
I had a great time, though I'm beat now. And I'm very proud of our Venturing Crew. They worked together well and did a great job. It looks like now I'm going to have to print up a list of recipes for Inquiring Minds.
