To do with health/sickness/medicine?
-
NHS? In a way, yes, but only in a way. Some audience approval.
Raak -
A feeling or mood?
-
-
-
Sentiments? No.
Lifespan? No. Audience wakes up, though.
Lifestart? No, but the audience murmurs approval and emits some applause.
-
-
-
Biology? Arguments start among the audience. Life and death and so forth are all biological, but this is not usually considered to be a biological process.
Rebirth? No, but the audience really like it. Appreciation is shown.
-
-
Birthdays? No. Audience calm.
-
-
Reincarnation? No, but big applause and cheering from the crowd.
-
-
-
Getting bad things? No.
Getting good things? No.
-
Raak -
Eternal recurrence?
Rosie -
Emergence as something different from human? (whatever that's called).
CdM -
Near-death experience?
-
Adoption? No.
Eternal recurrence? No.
Alien hatching? No.
Near-death experience? No.
-
-
Transmogrification? No, but there is some debate in the audience.
-
-
-
-
In hindsight I suspect we were a bit slow on the uptake
-
It's not metamorphosis, enlightenment is nice but completely off beam, "renaissance" is a good try but "the Renaissance" is totally wrong. The audience are collecting tomatoes to throw.

Not cryonics, not rejuvenation, but definitely Resurrection! (We started this around Easter, so it seemed appropriate.) Congratulations to CdM, who gets to take this stone baton and roll it away. Don't forget to like, subscribe, or leave a review.

Here is a straightforward VEGETABLE with an ANIMAL connection.
-
(Chocolate is a vegetable, right?)
-
Easter egg? No.
Raak -
A misshapen potato that looks like someone's head?
-
Potato head? No. *considerable laughter and significant applause*
-
-
Chips? No.
Raak -
Is it a plant that looks like an animal?
-
-
Plant that looks like an animal? No. But again, *applause*
Unique? Yes.
Raak -
A wooden scupture?
-
Simons Mith -
Part of a plant that looks like part of an animal?
-
-
Wooden sculpture? No. No.
Part of a plant that looks like part of an animal? No.
Venus flytrap? No.
Tuj -
In a fixed location?
-
Fixed location? Interesting question. If I wanted to be tricky, I'd give a straightforward and honest answer of No. But a more helpful answer is: Yes, when understood in the context of the AOTC.
Projoy -
It is vegetable but does it resemble something that is not?
-
Vegetable that resembles non-vegetable? Resemble is a tricky word. I’d say more No than Yes as the word is typically used, but—stretching the meaning of resemble to its broader senses—you could plausibly say Yes.
As a ps to my answer to Tuj, the absence of a fixed location in general is certainly useful information as well.
-
-
Mask? No.
-
-
One word? No. The AOTC as written is four words including the definite article, but I will accept any suitable identifying phrase.
-
Raak -
Is it associated with a particular season?
-
-
Is it alive? No. But be careful about your assumptions.
Associated with a particular season? No. * a certain tension in the air intimates that the audience almost wants to applaud but knows it shouldn’t*
Legible? No.
Raak -
Does it exist today?
-
Does it exist today? No.
-
-
Fictional? No.
Bismarck -
Is there more than one at any one time?
-
>1? No. (You already know it is unique.)
-
Raak -
Would an archaeologist know about this in connection with their profession?
Bismarck -
Is the vegetable part edible?
-
-
Connected to a celebration? *considerable audience laughter*. I think I have to say No, though some might argue the point.
Relevant to archaeology? No.
Vegetable part edible? Yes. (And remember the whole thing is vegetable, not just part of it.)
Was it art? *more laughter* Not in the conventional sense, No.
After your good start I am surprised this is taking so long. As a hint, you could always explore the animal connection further.
-
Raak -
Did this exist at some point since 1900?
-
-
Found à restaurant? No.
(View the source to read the hidden text)
Since 1900? Yes.
Quorn? No.
Raak -
Does the AOTC include a superlative?
-
Superlative-inclusive? No. *loud and sustained laughter*
Tuj -
Was it eaten by somebody famous?
-
Celebrity-consumed? No. (At least not as far as I know!)
Bismarck -
Is the animal reference human?
Raak -
Does the AOTC have the form "The X of Y"?
-
Human animal? Yes.
The X of Y? No.
Raak -
A vegetarian meat substitute?
