The object of this game is to represent a film, book, tv show or common phrase or saying using food. Played in a well-stocked kitchen or delicatessen, players take turns using a combination of foods, preparing them in a unique way. Other players have to guess what you're trying to spell out in cuisine.

For instance, for the movie "Jaws", you might open a can of shark's fin soup, or bring out the pig's snout and whittle a boat from a carrot. For "The English Patient" you could bake one of those British baked puddings that takes hours to cook and then needs to sit for 3 months to mature. For "Back to the Future", something involving bacon and shiny silver balls.

The winner gets to eat it all. Or possibly the loser.

What was the original "Kitchionary" idea? The link dangles.

I deleted it, because it was a pun. This one struggles, without its crutch.

My grandmother's recipe for Christmas plum pudding calls for it to be prepared a year in advance, then allowed to age in an enamelled steel canister, soaking in rum the whole time. So you get to eat 2001's pudding at the end of 2002.

Boil the kettle, then pour it over a bar of chocolate?

[boil the kettle...] Uh, "Raiders of the Lost Ark"?

Okay: throw a lot of flour on the table.
