Tips for guessing dishes
- Think about how the food is cooked, not only what is in it. Rice, chicken and spices could be a biryani, a paella or a jambalaya, and the cooking style tells them apart.
- Strong flavors point to a region. Coconut and lemongrass lean toward Southeast Asia, while olive oil, garlic and tomato lean toward the Mediterranean.
- Bread and cheese games come down to texture. Look at the crumb, the crust or the rind before the color.
Calorie and sugar games
Number games about food surprise almost everyone. Drinks, sauces and snacks sold as healthy often hold more sugar than people expect, and portion size matters more than most of us think. If you are unsure, guessing higher on drinks and dressings is usually the safer bet.
A food game a day
Most food games take a minute or two, which makes them a nice warm up before bigger puzzles. Many are made by small teams and can disappear, so if a game here stops working, tell us and we will take it off the list.
Start with what you cook or eat
If you cook, the ingredient games are the easiest way in. Travellers do well on the games that ask where a dish comes from. If you read food labels, try the sugar and calorie guessing games.
