The name of the game is **Name that Food!** One person posts a brief description of a food, either a quotation of someone else or something of their own invention. Other people try to guess what food it is. If they want, they can ask for additional hints. Once someone gets the answer, they can post a description of a new food.

To start it off:  
" 'Tis very juicy; and some fancy it to resemble the Tast of all the most delicious Fruits one can imagine mix’d together" - Lionel Wafer
