Just had a thought: take someone reasonably knowledgeable about how to make good food, go through the grocery store (particularly the international foods aisle) and buy some of every ingredient they don't recognise, and have them cook something nice with it all without looking up what any of it is

@JulieSqveakaroo sure, but I'm just thinking about what a reasonably skilled cook could do with a bevy of ingredients they know literally nothing about, with no resources to learn anything about them other than their own senses

@Felthry
There are ingredient aps for phones that will recommend recipes or ingredient pairings, if you are unfamiliar with specific ingredients!
