Don't let the "World Cuisine Cook-Off" playtime fool you. 5 questions sounds short, but at medium difficulty the pack is designed to separate casual fans from people who actually know cuisines from around the world.
Rules are tight: 5 questions, 20-second timers, instant reveal. Expect the whole pack to wrap in about 3 minutes. Sofia brings the on-mic energy — sofia makes every fact feel like a discovery — bright, enthusiastic, genuinely curious.
Questions draw from Global Flavors Explored, Signature Dishes, Essential Ingredients, Cooking Techniques, Food Culture Origins, and Regional Specialties. Nothing is published verbatim on this page — that would defeat the point — but those themes are the target surface area.
