Can I substitute "cake" for any other food?

For things people generally like. "Who's for some pizza?" is OK
"Who's for some Brussels sprouts?" is less likely.

You can substitute just about anything for "cake". It doesn't even have to be a food or drink.
Who's for cake?
Who's for tea?
Who's for chips?
Who's for badminton?
Who's for a movie and beer?
Who's for karaoke tonight?
It just means "Who would like to ...?" or "Who's in favour of ...?"

My hand would go up in response to that question. I love sprouts!
