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.

CORRECTION: Darren - YES, I believe it is
Would you want to eat while it was green?
Ibid - YES.
Clarifying Inkspot's...is the part you eat above ground while it's still growing?
 
When it's fully grown, is this fruit larger than a tennis ball?
Is it eaten with the skin?
Like apples, but then I also eat the core and pips.
A pineapple?
Mayhap that is a vegetable?
DrQ - No. Darren - No. Inkspot - No. Software - No.
I have answered a firm NO to DrQ and Inkspot even though the answer *could* be yes - but I fear I would mislead you all. There's a vital question that no-one has asked yet, which should clarify things.
A pepper?
No idea what the vital question could be, so I'm going for it. Most annoyed to see that I almost guessed right on the last one, goddammit!
Is it usually eaten cooked?
Breadmaster - No. Inkspot - not necessarily.
I fear this may go on a bit longer than I'd originally predicted . . .
a quick summary
It's edible

It isn't a fruit - hang on, yes it is

It isn't ball-shaped

it grows above ground (hesitatingly

you would want to eat it while it is green

it isn't eaten with the skin on (but it could be)

the part you eat is below ground while it's growing (but it could be above ground)

It's not necessarily eaten cooked

... and it's not a pomegranate, pepper or pineapple.

Is it usually eaten raw?
simulpost! but I'll leave it, as both may apply! :) GAh! simulposted again!
asparagus?
An onion?
Recap - misleading!
But thanks Wol ...
Some clarification is called for:
Originally a fruit
Originally above ground
Originally can be green
Originally raw or cooked with skin on
Originally ball-shaped and small
There - I've given you THE CLUE - now any passing lurker should be able to guess it
Sounds like a crab apple to me, but then I'm odd and regularly dig them up to use the worms as bait ... :-(
Wol, Raak, Duj - the answer is NOT a fruit in it's entirety
*sigh*
Hey up, lass, don't give up on us; here, have a cyber cuddle ... ;-)
sounds like a nut (walnut?) to me
but I'm clutching at proverbials now.
[Wol] Watchit, son - it'll send you blind, you know!
[Duj] Clutching at nuts don't send you blind - but it does hurt ...
Ooh, ooh - it's a bean, isn't it?
Duj & Wol - It isn't made from a nut or a bean ....
Thanks for the cuddle, Duj :-)
applesauce?
Jam? Marmalade?
I'm having a great day at work this Friday, you can tell ...
That should have been Wol, not Women's Online Institute ... oh dear.
snorgs, Wol - No, No & No
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 :-)
Rhubarb?
Audience; rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb ... Cut! ..... Cook No, no, no - a 45° angle, phurleese!
Duj - No
What time of day is it there? :-)
Tomato sauce?
technically a fruit, but..
Retiring
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.
snorgs - No
... 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.
See!
Whoops! The time - yours +10. That is, as I type, 8:40pm.
tomato soup?
