Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game
help
The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

A fast-food joint?
A cafe/restaurant?

[Inkspot] I once went into a health food shop and asked if they had any of a certain thing which the mystery object sells, and it was as if I'd asked for Watney's Red Barrel in a real ale pub.

[GL] YES! But that's not the whole story.
[Chalky] No.

A vegetarian restaurant?
(Since otherwise there'd be a dead animal component as well as the live one?)
