The title is one of the most difficult parts of this blog....

I think the most useful game we played over the past four week-ends was the soup game. We did not have any recipes just a flavor profile. And that was just the first step. The second step was to combine the groups flavor profile and make another soup. This is perfect way to make a ‘soup of the day’ at a restaurant, or when you are at home and do not know what to make and have no desire to leave your apartment. This game also helps you get rid of the fear factor with pairing ingredients together.

I enjoyed the wine game, but not so much as a learning experience but more as a fun game. It was interesting to see what people created not knowing what they were cooking with.

The game we played this past Saturday was the most difficult because it gave the players the least amount of control over what they could make. Even the cooking methods were dictated to the group. For a real life application, I am not sure how helpful this would be. Many of the ingredients were rather esoteric and not being able to decide your cooking method or product would not really happen unless there was a black out or you were maybe…. Camping? As far as learning creativity this game was definitely the most difficult. Knowledge of grammar was also needed for this game.
