You're along the right lines now - just remember that I hesitated about the 'fruit' thing ....
Wol - I'm hoping someone will guess this soon, so I can actually get some work done :-)

What time of day is it there? :-)

technically a fruit, but..

G'nite, Chalky. Late for me to be in the workshop playing computers - far too much imbibing has taken place (as you probably have noticed! - hence the question?) Must off before I totally disgrace myself.

... but the best guess so far. Tomato sauce has too many additives to be labelled just a 'vegetable'. This particular thing is quite pure, by comparison.

Whoops! The time - yours +10. That is, as I type, 8:40pm.

No, you're on summer time; yours + 9. Told you!

[Duj] That's quite early really, imbibing-wise ;-)

remember - it's not an obvious 'fruit'. I had to look it up.

What's green and goes up and down?

I looked it up, its a fruit!

I'll have to go soon ...hence another clue to speed things up - it's savoury rather than sweet. [I can't believe no-one has asked these obvious questions :-)]

I made some of this when I was a teenager. You remove the seeds from the marrow and fill it with brown sugar. Then you hang it in a pair of tights and put a bowl underneath to catch the liquor. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted (among things that are meant to be tasted, anyway).
I place my curse on Snorgle by stating definitively that she simply has to be right.
