Plenty of young children struggle to name vegetables, simply because they only ever see them chopped. Picture puzzles connect the name back to the whole thing, and doing it during a game works far better than doing it at the dinner table.
Alongside the classics there are braver entries such as arugula, brussels sprouts and bitter gourd. Miming those is reliably funny, since a screwed up face counts as a perfectly valid clue.

Play it while cooking
Run a round while dinner is being made. Whatever comes up, go and find it in the fridge.
Lead with taste
When describing, start with taste, color and texture. That kind of language is where the good vocabulary lives.
Supermarket edition
It works in the shop too. Find each answer on the shelf and the weekly food run stops being a chore.
