Food & Drink Family Feud Questions

Everybody eats, which is why food boards produce the most confident guesses and the loudest disagreements. These twelve questions cover leftovers, breakfast, restaurant habits, messy meals and the toppings people fight about.

We wrote them for Friendly Feud and gave each board suggested points that add up to 100. The weighting is ours, not a survey's, and food habits differ by country, so adjust a board if your table disagrees.

How to play these boards without a screen

Split into two teams and pick a host, who keeps this page to themselves.
The host reads a question. One player from each team answers; whoever names the higher-scoring answer wins control of the board for their team.
That team takes turns guessing. Each answer on the board scores its points, and each miss is a strike.
After three strikes the other team gets one guess to steal every point scored in the round. Most points after four boards wins.

Tips for hosting a food & drink round

Ask players to guess the number-one answer out loud before the reveal. Food boards are where a crowd is most predictable.
Play a food round between courses at a dinner party. The boards are easy, so they warm the room up before harder ones.
Pair a food round with a Custom topic in the online game about your own town's restaurants.
