Questions and answers
How do you play guess the baby food?
The host sets out numbered jars of baby food with the labels hidden. Guests look, smell and, if they like, taste, then write a flavor beside each number. The host reads the key, and the most right answers wins.
How many jars do you need?
The sheets here hold 8, 10 or 12, and the page opens on 10. Those sizes are our own choice: the game is a folk game with no official rules.
Do guests have to taste the baby food?
No. The rules printed under the sheet say tasting is optional, and a guest may guess every jar by looking and smelling. The word-bank sheet helps guests who only look.
Which baby food flavors are on the list?
Eight fruits, eight vegetables and seven meats, each a single flavor: from banana, carrot and pea to look-alike pairs such as apple and pear, then beef, chicken, ham, lamb, pork, turkey and veal. The order from easy to hard is our own judgment.
