Here
is an interesting find - Food Smarts a collection of
flash cards that offer a fun way to raise your food IQ with
interesting and useful facts on ingredients, cooking, and
dining out. Use it at work as a training tool, with friends
over dinner, or if you are like me and have no friends - play
with it on your lonesome. It's a lot of fun and a little addictive.
FoodSmarts contains one hundred question and answer cards.
True-false and multiple choice questions cover cuisines from
around the world, food lingo, and a smorgasbord of food facts.
Each answer is accompanied by detailed information for those
who want to learn more.
And
for those of you that really dig this kind of thing Smart
Co the makers of Food Smarts have four other offerings - Chocolate
Smarts - a cultivator for your cocoa cravings, find out everything
you ever wanted to know about this delightful treat, Wine
Smarts - "the greatest game ever" according to star chef Mario
Batali, Sex Smarts nothing to do with food, but sounds like
it could be fun and Wine Notes - a portable, colorfully designed
notebook packed with resources to help wine lovers keep track
of their wine discoveries.
It's all good fun and great for the brain my only suggestion
is - don't let your spouse get hold of them, because if yours
is like mine they will follow around the house firing questions
at you laughing at you like crazy every time you get one wrong!
