Dishes
Order these famous dishes by the year each was created. You place all 35 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Famous dishes are served up here, each with a one-line description printed below the name. The aim is to order them by the year each was created. One dish starts on the line with its year showing. Choose a gap for every new card among the dishes already placed. Get the spot right and the year turns up; get it wrong and the dish still goes to its true spot, but you lose one of three lives.
Hotel restaurant classics, street food, sandwiches, salads and desserts all appear. Many of these dishes have origin stories that people argue over, and the card goes with one widely told version, so lean on the clues in the description. The busiest stretch is the heyday of grand hotels and American diners, when new dishes appeared quickly. A dish that feels ancient may be surprisingly young.
