- Presentation of Each Dish:
- Show a picture of the dish, describe its ingredients and preparation, or if possible, let everyone taste a small portion of the dish.
- Vote:
- Each participant decides whether they would “Smash” (yes, eat/recommend) or “Pass” (no, not eat/recommend) on the dish.
- Participants can also explain their choice if desired, which can spark fun discussions or debates.
- Keep Score (Optional):
- You might keep track of which dishes receive the most “Smash” votes to determine the most appealing dish according to the group.
- Discussion:
- After voting on each dish, discuss what made the dish appealing or unappealing. This can lead to insights about people’s tastes and preferences.
