Mime the preparation, not just the dish
Twirling noodles reads faster than pointing at a bowl. Slicing pizza, lighting cake candles, and sipping from a straw give guessers more to work with.
Great theme for dinner-party warm-ups
Food charades is a natural ice-breaker while people are still eating. Keep it short - one quick round, then move back to conversation.
