How about a Mexican themed MSU challenge for newbies with a $15 budget?

MSU = make stuff up, usually on the spot, as popularized here by 16Adams.

In this case, you would be given a list of ingredients and have to choose 4-5 of them with which you would create something from. We've done it before:

I like the idea of a Noob TD. Maybe we can get more interested in TDs

We haven't done one since 2017, George, so I agree!

A number of noobs became regular and semi regular Throwdown participants because of these, plus it gives the regulars a break.

Not that I'm partial or anything to the outcome...

I have only participated in a couple of TDs so I chose the Noob Showcase

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been that long. I agree though, it’s a good way to encourage more people to try it.

Yep, I voted Noob too. Let's see some new Brethren get into the TD's.

I was a little intimidated in my first few TDs. Then a Noob TD came along and I've been in ever since.

Went with noob

Moose · Apr 21, 2021

Noobs are inching closer! They deserve their own throwdown! Give the regulars a break in May!

Swine Spectator · Apr 21, 2021

I like the 4 ingredient idea as long as it not one of those bizarre Chopped challenges:

"Make a dessert with these 4 ingredients: Anchovies, Habanero Peppers, Peppermint Eggnog, and Prunes. You have 30 minutes...GO!"

Moose · Apr 27, 2021

Looks like "all Month Cinco de Mayo Feast" is our winner!

Thanks to all of you who voted - entry thread will go up shortly!
