What food words are used for
Food words are concrete, universal, and mood-lifting — the reason they dominate icebreakers ('two truths about your cooking'), kids' vocabulary units, and Pictionary decks. Everyone can draw a pizza; not everyone can draw 'ambition'.
They're also a stealth geography lesson: English food vocabulary is heavily borrowed ('taco', 'sushi', 'croissant', 'curry'), so a random batch doubles as a tour of the cuisines English has absorbed. Menu writers and food bloggers use random food words to break naming ruts, too.
