The idea here is for members to name the national dishes and the countries they come from. If they get stuck, maybe give them the country and some other clues, such as what the dish is made from.


Take time to discuss places visited, foods eaten and so on.


After this, maybe get members to rate their top three foods and their most disliked.






Round 1. National Food Dishes - Savoury







Round 2. How many of these regional British foods can you name?






Round 3. National Food Dishes - Sweet






Round 4. More Regional Foods






Round 5. More National Dishes





Can members think of any more national dishes that I missed. Please do let me know.
