your mission completed: eat with your hands Last week, we asked you to cut out the cutlery in favour of finger-friendly foods.

your next mission: reimagine food Believe it or not, spring is finally here! To celebrate the turn of the seasons, we thought we’d have Gastroposters shake it up a bit. Your mission this week is to tweak how something is traditionally eaten. Try an unconventional condiment on a hotdog, an atypical topping on pizza or a throw a less standard spice into the mix. Spring into action and show us how you make a dish differently to reawaken your senses this season.
