Finger Food Roulette

It's not so much because of the turkey or the Pilgrims, this holiday. It's because of each other, this Thanksgiving getting together. Hence, the appropriateness of this FunCast being devoted to one of my favorite family food games



Finger Food Roulette

1) Select a variety of finger foods: celery sticks, carrot sticks, pistachios, peanuts, etc. Place each in a separate serving dish. In each dish, place enough of the selected finger food to feed one-third to one-half of the extended family.

1.1) If there are more people than finger foods (as is often the case), prepare two or perhaps even three dishes from each.

1.2) Thus making certain that each finger food is equally represented, and each participant equally finger fed.

1.2.1) For example, were there only three snacks and some 12 people, there would be 4 portions of each finger food.

2) At the appropriate time, distribute the finger food platters randomly, placing one in front of each food fingerer (sic).

2.1) Instruct all participants to take a handful of the snack in front of them, and then to

2.2) pass their platter to the clockwisenly (also sic) adjacent person.

2.3) Continue in like manner: finger-feeding, passing, finger-feeding, passing.

3) The last finger-food left loses.
