How well do you know a person until you've spent time in their
kitchen? There's a million different paradigms for grocery
shopping - whether you're a strict vegetarian, gluten-free or
paleo, your grocery list might look a lot different from your
neighbors', but maybe you could learn a thing
or two from one
another. Trade shopping lists for a week with someone else
on the planet and see what surprises await you when you step
outside your normal culinary routine.

Do you get to wear their clothes as well? |

This one 'o' them thar 'social experiments', in'nit? Us hill-

Ironic. Post a few examples, Myewze. |

We did a thing a few months back where you signed up to get a box of groceries - it was designed for allergy detection but the annos turned it into lifestyle or diet experimenting. Can't find it now. |

Trade lists with an Indian immigrant, or Japanese,
or Nigerian. Maybe (if the supermarkets'
selections are substantial), an international
exchange would be possible. (I don't know if
there's much Kinderschokolade on the shelf at the
market around the corner, but I can't say that I've
looked). |

|
Trade lists with a diabetic, or someone with Celiac
disease, or PKU. |
|
|
Trade lists with vegans. Or vegetarians. Or
escatarians. Or Mormons. Or Hasidic Jews. |

This really needs to be a web site. |

A couple of my friends decided to try eating a Celiac diet
for a week (out of curiousity or sympathy, I know not).
They found it both challenging and enlightening, which is
why I immediately bunned this idea. |

World peace through kitchen diplomacy. |

And here I thought it would be something about getting another halfbaker to exchange workshops with, for a fresheyes efficiency improvement. |

Whilst it could be a good idea, my shopping lists are usually items that I'm out of, as I keep a well-stocked kitchen. From this you would not be able to tell much, because you are missing the things that I already have. On the other hand, if one was purchasing ALL the items for an entire meal, or an entire week of eating, that might be different. I'll stand here in the line holding my croissant for now. |

Launch it and they will come [+] |
