Blind Tasting

About Blind Tasting

Blind Tasting is a daily food geography game laid out like a restaurant menu. Each day's edition carries a number and a date, and opens on a single photograph of a plate. You do not have to spell the dish's name: the question is only which country it belongs to.

You get four guesses. Behind each puzzle the game holds the dish's continent, a description of what is in it and a clue about the country it comes from, so a miss is not the end of the trail. Once the round is over you can read a short note about the dish and where it was first made.

Everyone gets the same dish on the same day, and a My Passport page collects the countries and results you have played through. The game is free, needs no account, and keeps your game data on your own device.

It suits players who like Worldle-style country guessing but would rather look at dinner than at a map outline, and anyone who cooks or travels and wants to test what they remember about where dishes come from.

How to play Blind Tasting

1. Open Blind Tasting and look at the photo of today's plate.
2. Type the country you think the dish comes from and submit your guess.
3. If you miss, use the clues about the dish and the country to narrow it down.
4. Find the country within four guesses, then read the note about the dish.
5. Check My Passport to see the countries you have collected.

Tips

• Look at the ingredients in the photo first: rice, flatbread or cocoa all point to different parts of the world.
• Think about the continent before the country, then use your remaining guesses on neighbours.
• Desserts and street food are often famous outside their home country, so do not guess where you last ate it.
