Global Taste Test Night

A world of snacks

Pick snacks, sweets, and drinks from countries you rarely try, then blind-rank your favorites together.

Buy six to ten unfamiliar snacks, sweets, or nonalcoholic drinks from several different countries without over-researching them first. Number the items, serve small portions, and taste them one at a time. Each person scores every item for flavor, surprise factor, and whether you would buy it again. Compare rankings at the end and look up one quick fact about the country or food that surprised you most. Save the winning item for last and share it while you pick a country whose food you want to explore next.
