Running Dinner
Since some years the so called “running dinner” has become a compulsory event for the students in Bamberg. The principle is very simple. A team of two decides to take part in the event, and is responsible to cook a hors d’oeuvre, a main dish or a dessert. Which of the dishes the team has got to prepare is decided by drawing lots. Each team prepares the dish for six persons, since it gets joined by two other teams for the dish. So you know that you will have a dish with two other teams, but you don’t know with whom. “Running” refers to the fact that of course you will have to change your locations between the dishes, since every team prepares a dish at their place. The schedule is tight - so you are running between the dishes.
