Nuff said about silly food descriptions. Time to consider the alternatives.

One option, "let everyone choose for themselves", simply is not possible.

I voted for "Jack of diamonds, queen of spades etc" ! :)

Like this we'll have 52 ranks (from 2♣ to A♠) and we'll be able to handle Ben's ranks when he will reach 100000 or 500000 posts !! :P :P :)

Wine :-)
Mountains (e.f. Himalaya, K2, Kilimadjaro, etc etc)
Planets
Animals
Zodiac signs

But, as I said, I like food :-)

Blank would seem to be both simple and uncontroversial
I really don't care much one way or another. the food descriptors are mildly amusing. Especially, the choice of stuff like Durian cake (good stuff, BTW)

I care about the friends I have made on BBO. Also, I am extremely concerned about the environment/ ecology/ wildlife/ the little planet that we call Earth. How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

I voted to leave it blank, although you might want to just tally the number of posts the person has made.
FWIW, I kinda enjoyed Rain's food lisitings, and I think it's unkind to her to get so down on them.

I voted for other. Find a collection of bridge players ordered by how many world championships they've won. For example (just based on the Bermuda Bowl), you might have Rose Meltzer, Arturo Franco, George Rapee, Paul Soloway, Camillo Pabis-Ticci, Bob Hamman, Bobby Wolff, Walter Avarelli, Benito Garozzo, and Giorgio Belladonna.

Another interesting scale (and in my case and play level better suited than Garozzo-Belladonna and various champs) could be:

Australopithecus
Pithecanthropus erectus
Java man
Neanderthal man
Cro-magnon man
Homo sapiens sapiens

... and.. of course...
