Source not identified by Yamim, Mai, and Werle (2020), who used a three-item version across a pretest and two studies, and a two-item version (items 1 and 2) in a third study. Reliability was strong to excellent for the three-item version (α = .87–.97); the two-item version showed a correlation of .70. Validity wasn't addressed. Item wording requires naming the specific food or drink being rated — the original study used the generic word 'dish.'
