Why it works as a party game
Play with the food you already made, in a portion that will not wreck dinner. That is a Thanksgiving party game with almost no extra shopping.
How to play
- Give each player a scoop on a plate and three minutes.
- No extra tools except a spoon.
- Display and vote: most turkey-like and funniest.
- Eat or compost. Do not return sculptures to the serving bowl.
Hosting tips
- Use leftover potatoes, not the last of the good batch.
- Skip this if anyone is too precious about the tablecloth.
- A kids-only heat is cleaner.
