- Take the normal Scrabble rule set.
- Allow all Scrabble words, plus proper nouns and foreign food-related words that one might reasonably found printed on a package in the local supermarket.
- The player must say one or more sentences that use all the words from the his/her turn, and that describe or advertise a food, in glowing, enthusiastic terms.
- If the sentences form an advertisement, the point score is halved (rounded down).
- If the sentences form a recipe, one point is added.
- The food described must be something that could plausibly be found in at least one restaurant, somewhere on Earth, today.
- The food should not be too ordinary.
- If the players cannot agree on #3.1 … 3.4, after some discussion and/or retries, then they probably shouldn’t be playing this game.
- “…add pepper to give a taste like the Id of Odin…
- “…axe-hewn potato chips…”

- “Thunder Bread, a sweet rye bread from an Icelandic recipe, cooked on the hot rocks of Mona Loa…”
- “…frosted cookies, glazed to the luster of sun-drenched snow…”
- “…flavored with delicate herbs from the Flemish bog…”
