Gifting food: worried about MOOP contribution
Howdy all,
Looking to gift a special mustard that we make from a family recipe.
It would be unbranded packaging (commercial kitchen prepared), but I don't want to hand out a bunch of moopy individual serving packets (it's normally given in glass jars).
Any ideas on how to gift this type of yummy to folks? I haven't found a non-plastic compostable solution for on-playa use, and as we are traveling on the BxB, we have limited space.

I would have to say that gifting something like this may not be the best idea. First, you might need a permit for unpackaged food or home made food. More important is that I don't think anyone would realistically be getting this gift and actually be eating it either on playa or at home.

I have seen mustard sampled using pretzels in the local grocery - you would run the pretzel through the mustard and then hand it to the eater. No MOOP. The other possibility is to partner with a camp that serves mustard-loving food.

Cool beans. I think giving directly to the camps is the way to go. I just was worried about weight.

If you're worried about the weight, try a light mustard.

I'm just the opposite. Hand me a glob of "special food" and I'm eating that shit straight away.......Captain Goddammit wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 12:24 pmAnyone hands me a glob of special mustard, I ain’t eating it.

Your best bet is to team up with a camp that offers hot dogs or bacon to the public and just bring it in a normal dispenser.
Another option is to start an edible condiment body painting camp where folks can do spicy body shots from various peaks and valleys ...
