22 January 2009

It's the five-ingredient dish game. Person one gives an ingredient. Person two adds another. So does person three. Et cetera. Person five finishes up. Voila – a five-ingredient dish. Repeat.→[More:]

Example:

Person 1: Quinoa
Person 2: Black beans
Person 3: Roasted sweet potatoes
Person 4: Toasted pumpkin seeds!
Person 5: Mmmmm, avocado

[Please to be things that sound yummy, not things that you'd want to force your little sister to eat so you could laugh at her.]

I'll go first:

1) Cauliflower
