Jude definitely recognised some of the dishes made by his fellow competitors. And the kitchen smelt so heavenly! He was a fan of baked goods especially and always spent a great deal of his money at the bakery near his home, the one Christopher’s family owned. While waiting for the presentation, he took two pieces of parchment {he had brought along a few} and neatly wrote the names of the dishes he had made in cursive. Then he tapped each with his wand and muttered an incantation so that they turned into cute little cards which he set before the respective dishes. Oh yes, he got some plates and cutlery and a can of whipped cream for the dessert.
Then it was presentation time! Jude glanced around to see if anyone wanted to go before him before speaking up, bouncing on his feet as he did so. “I chose Shepherd’s Pie because this is the first dish I ever learned to make. My mother taught me how to the summer after my first year here at Hogwarts since it is my favourite food. It was then that I discovered my love for baking, and ever since then, she and I have this tradition of cooking and baking whenever I’m home for the holidays. Made from ground beef, potatoes and a few choice vegetables, this represents the ‘home’ aspect.” Now that he was done, and the judges were sure to have gotten a treat simply by looking at the complete dish, Jude indicated to his dessert. Not before he waved his wand again but this time to set a knife neatly slicing and plating pieces of the pie on plates for everyone. “This here is Pwdin Eva or Eve’s Pudding is an apple dessert. I chose to make this because like my ancestors, I'm Welsh and Wales is where my family and I still reside.” Surely sometimes those around him would hear him revert to speaking Welsh at times? “It’s simply chopped apples mixed with spices such as cinnamon covered in a sweet flour mixture. This dessert represents the 'heritage' aspect. Jude waved his wand again so that this time another knife sliced and plated the dessert. He added a generous helping of whipped cream on each before handing the plates out with forks. The Hufflepuff didn’t want to be too lengthy with his presentation since there were others yet to present so he quickly wrapped it up. “Both dishes remind me of my home and they always make me think of my family." And if anyone knew him, they would know that family was everything to him; the Anders’ were a close knit family. This inspired him to have a huge family of his own someday. |
