Scrabufoodulous
With Facebook's Scrabulous application in jeopardy, Erin Zimmer, Serious Eats' DC correspondent, and I hurried into a game of food word-based Scrabulous—what we've dubbed Scrabufoodulous.
For the non-Facebook savvy, Scrabulous is one of the social networking site’s truly brilliant applications, other than sheep-throwing, super-poking and of course, the Serious Eats Facebook group. (Cough, join right now). But a culinary-minded Scrabulous? Not one of the options. We agreed on some basic rules, like proper nouns related to food (acceptable). Vitamins and minerals found in foods (also acceptable). Booze and booze-related terms (fine). But limited by the official Scrabble dictionary, some delicious words weren’t playable.
"S'mores" [S M O R E S] got a blunt “invalid word” response. Hating on apostrophes, Scrabulous? Ouch. More game details after jump.
