A multiple-choice personality quiz uses lettered options A–E across several scenarios to reveal dining and food-media tendencies. Scenarios include Friday-night dinner choices highlighting home cooking, review-driven picks, trendy openings, critic-endorsed bistros, and long-awaited reservations. Travel questions probe research methods such as seeking iconic regional dishes, consulting guides, checking influencer picks, and cross-referencing curated lists and maps. Other prompts gauge tolerance for lines for pastries, preferred food video sources, and reactions to the idea that food is political. Each option signals distinct attitudes toward authenticity, authority, convenience, skepticism, and social influence in food decisions.
