Who’s up for a Foodie Fight?
I was just rummaging through my closet and came across one of wonderful the Christmas gifts from my sister-in-law-to-be (thanks Leigh!). I recall unwrapping the present and thinking “this was made for me”. I LOVE board games (particularly the ones I’m good at) and I LOVE anything associated with food (shocker!). Foodie Fight is a clever combination of both.
This board game is the perfect gift for any foodie like moi. It incorporates trivia questions which range in difficulty and touch on a variety of topics. The type of questions you’ll see:
- Which reality TV show used African cave spiders, maggots and “gross” cow parts (before mad cow concerns) in contestant food stunts?
- Which part of the apple contains higher level of antioxidants – the skin or the flesh?
- What female British novelist said, “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well”? (I couldn’t agree more!)
With questions like the above, our non-foodie friends are less likely to get the urge to stab us with a fork two minutes into the game (that’s if they agree to participate).
As soon as I uncovered the game this morning, I ran upstairs and started pegging Keith with questions. He was engaged for the first few rounds (clearly just to appease me), then I noticed his eyes glazing over. So I retreated back downstairs, planted myself on the couch and spent the last 30 minutes playing solo. I won! 😉
Well, we’re off to a Superbowl party tonight and the Foodie Fight may be coming along for the ride. The hope is that after everyone consumes a few beers they’ll agree to playing a round or two. A lofty dream that is likely to get crushed.
Oh and I can’t leave you hanging. Answers to the above are:
- Fear Factor
- The skin
- Virginia Woolf
If you answered any of the above incorrectly, your penalty is….an hour of playing the Foodie Fight with me:)
