Food puzzles and trivia.

From the Big Mac to a three-Michelin-star tasting menu.

Food is the category that gets hungry. It runs from the diner counter to the tasting menu, from a Schnitzel pounded thin to a Cronut that sells out by mid-morning. Some themes you'll know by heart. Others you'll meet for the first time and want to go track down.

The range is the point. An Affogato sits a few flips from a bartender's On The Rocks, and Grant Achatz shares a shelf with a diner's blue-plate special. High and low, old and new, all of it earns the slot.

Each theme here was chosen by hand. Someone decided a dish belonged, then shaped the line you read when you finish. That care shows up in the small stuff: the phrasing, the pick, the fact waiting at the end.

Play them in any order. Match the letters, remember where they hide, and spell your way to the theme. When you're hungry for one more, there's usually one more.

Themes worth recognizing.

Three facts to start.

Affogato

Affogato is Italian for ‘drowned’. A scoop of cold vanilla gelato, a shot of hot espresso poured over the top, and the name describes the gelato’s fate.

African Food

Injera, Ethiopia’s spongy sourdough flatbread, ferments up to three days. At an Ethiopian meal it serves as both plate and utensil.

Afternoon Tea

Clotted cream is cream slow-heated for 12 hours until a thick golden crust forms. “Cornish” is reserved for cream slow-heated in Cornwall only.
