    Drawing tips for food & drink

    Draw the container as much as the food: a cone says ice cream, a slice says pizza, a bun says hot dog. For dishes with no shape (soup, risotto), draw the bowl, the steam and one ingredient.

    Who this category suits

    It is a favourite for family tables, and the category most likely to make someone hungry mid-game. There are 148 easy words, 184 medium and 143 hard, so it works as a whole-game theme rather than a single round: set the difficulty from the menu above and the pool moves with the table. 12 of the words are grown-up references that only appear with the Adults audience; the rest are safe for everyone. A round idea: Menu round: the guessing team must say the word and the meal it belongs to.
