Foodie Obsessed

Gifts for Your Foodie or that Foodie Wannabe

by Tracey Thompson on December 11th, 2007

I was browsing for some unique gifts for the food lover in your life.  I then came across this article, Gifts for the Foodie Wannabe by Lauren Beckham Falcone of the Boston Herald:

He Tivos the Food Network but doesn’t know how to boil water.  She covets Calphalon but isn’t sure what a saucier is.  He wants to learn how to cook coq au vin-but first, he needs to learn how to pronounce it.

Hmmm….are they talking about me???  Anyway, some great ideas including this game that I have missed the boat on.  Eat It!  Snacks and Sweets Trivia Game:

Eat It is the snacks and sweets trivia game. This exciting board game is all about the fun foods that everyone loves to eat. Players test their knowledge by answering fun and clever trivia questions across five tasty categories: Chocolate, Candy, Cookies, Snack Attack, and Ice Cream and Desserts. The types of Eat It trivia questions range from nostalgia and general knowledge to marketing, jingles, product description, and tidbits. Eat It is a fun game to play with friends and family. The questions are diverse, encompassing today’s treats as well as the ones that you grew up with. On your way to becoming the Eat It, you will relive childhood memories and even munch on a few of your favorite snacks. Recommended for 2 to 6 players.

There is also The Food Lover’s Trivia Game:

Are you a food lover who likes trivia games or a trivia game lover who likes food? Whichever you are you’ll love The Original Food Lover’s Trivia game! This is the first game of its kind dedicated solely to food trivia. The game features 1,800 questions in the categories of Beverages, Geography and Culture, Ingredients, Recipes, Food People and Food Arts & Science. Get ready, Get set, Get comfortable! Game play is not confined to a game board, players gather their game pieces and get comfortable wherever they want to play! Teams of chefs are challenged by opposing teams of guests with trivia questions all about food. Players start with full plates and the winners are the first ones to Clean Your Plate The Original Food Lover’s Trivia can be played in a variety of ways from the basic game Dinnertime to the added challenges offered in Care For Seconds? game play. Got Food? Get Game! Over 40 recipes and party ideas are included so that the game can be played with edible game pieces in the game options; Play With Your Food, Potlucky, The Diet Plate Special and The Blue Plate Special. For 2 to 6 Players or Teams.

Amazon is always generous with offering some additional suggestions and I actually think this might make a great bundle gift for the foodie wannabe in your life.  Buy them these games along with a book.  Something like, How to be a Better Foodie:  A Bulging Little Book for the Truly Epicurious.

All the above can be found at Amazon and Eat It! has also been seen at stores such as Target.
