Have you the stomach for an evening of food-based wonder? Observer Tech Monthly has just the prize for you.

Glasgow Science Festival begins on 5 June, packed with events, from a Speed Science night where scientists vie to win the vote for the best speedy scientific talk, to a "geek walk" taking in sights linked to the city's relationship with engineering.

Now in its eighth year, the festival features a cornucopia of events, many of them free. And we have a pair of tickets to the culinary pick of the bunch: a night of gastronomic intrigue at the city's well-known Stravaigin restaurant on 12 June, complete with a complimentary bottle of wine.

Attending Tasty Science: Mystery Menu Dinner Party, you will hear from three food experts and enjoy a mouth-watering meal. But the identity of the dish will remain a mystery, to be solved by scientists armed with a DNA sequencing kit.

For a chance of winning, email tech.monthly@observer.co.uk before 26 May, with your address and phone number, with the answer to the question: What do the letters DNA stand for? Winners will be chosen randomly. The event is not open to vegans and/or vegetarians. Any dietary requirements must be noted when applying.
