The Punnett Menu
But first, let's demystify Punnett's Square a bit. We're going to make a generalized Punnett Square using food instead of alleles.
To set this up, I want you to imagine going out to eat at one of those super-trendy
restaraunts (Chez Punnett, of course) with lots of dishes you've never heard
of. Your task? Order an entrée and a dessert.

(Just for fun, see if you can guess which three of these recipes actually came from Gourmet magazine).
Our restaurant has 5 entrées and 5 desserts, so how many possible combinations are there?
