Has Tom Scott done a video about it?
Either way, that should clear out a LOT

So here is the mystery voice to tell listeners the subject on the card.
This is basically ANIMAL, so have at it there.
Human?
Unique?
[Rosie] Not human.
[Tuj] Not unique.
Alive, alive-o?
Does it begin with P?
Water-dwelling?
Can it fly (on its own volition, not if put in an aeroplane or thrown off a building?)
[Simons Mith] Not alive. Not a crustacean, either.
[Tuj] Doesn't begin with 'P'.
[Raak] Not water-dwelling.
[Boolbar] Cannot fly.
Is this just a part of an animal?
Is this something made from animals?
Do you sit on it?
Do you eat it?
[Rosie] Yes. The audience wake up.
[Raak] Yes. Some claps breaks out in the audience.
[Simons Mith] No sitableupon, at least not in intended use.
[Tuj] Yes! Audience claps vigorously.
Is it soup?
Does it have a misleading name?
[e.g. the disgraceful lack of toad in the toad in the hole, the misleading provenance (and lack of pork content) of so-called Hamburgers etc. Don't even get me started on Rocky Mountain oysters.]
Is this foodstuff made from a mammal?
Could it have been eaten 200 years ago?
Can I order it in a restaurant?
Would it be stored in a fridge?
[Radox the Green] Not soup.
[Simons Mith] After reference to Mycroft, the answer is "No".
[Boolbar] Yes! Spontaneous hoots break out.
[Tuj] Yes, it could have been enjoyed by Napoleon, and may well have been. More muted applause is heard as the audience try and work this out.
[Raak] Yes you can eat it in a restaurant, as long as it's on the menu. Some shouts from the audience.
[Chalky] Doesn't have to be kept cool, but Raak's restaurant probably does store it there. Audience is generally approving.
Is it meat-based?
Has it been in a Monty Python sketch?
Is it preserved in some manner?
Is the mammal a pig?
[Rosie] Yes! whoops and hollers. A small protest by two Vegans based on a mistranslation starts in a corner.
[Simons Mith] Mycroft says NO.
[CdM] Not, it's fresh.
[Raak] Yes! Swine it is. Applause and such.
Pig's trotters?
Bacon?
France is bacon, isn't it?
Has it been named in a Monty Python sketch?
(Actually me.)
[Radox the Green] Not pig's trotters.
[Simons Mith] Not bacon.
[Ra(a)k] Mycroft says "This is a dead python. It is not."
Ham ham ham ham haaaaaammm???
Pork scratchings?
[Simons Mith] Not ham. Nor Hamtaro.
[CdM] Yuck. No.
Is cutlery normally used in the consumption of this?
Pig jerky?
Hidden textHomer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon? Lisa: No. Homer: Ham? Lisa: No. Homer: Pork chops? Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal. Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
