mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

Is it being in a pickle?

Inkspot: see below; Boolbar: no.

[Inkspot] We've already ascertained that it's a compound of more than one vegetable (which I'm taking in a more general sense to mean 'plant'); at least one of the components looks like it might be a root vegetable, but my knowledge of horticulture is not that extensive, nor is google being much help. Sorry.

Is it the best thing since sliced bread?

Bob the dog

Is it sweet?

rab

MF: no; BtD: YES!

Boolbar

Does it involve chocolate?

Lib

Is it green tomato chutney?

Raak

Is it confectionery of some sort?

rab

Lib: whatever gave you that idea?? Boolbar: yes rendering Raak's question redundant.

Ibid

Is it the cake I can't have and eat?

I know it isn't, but I just had to ask

Lib

Is it deep fried corgettes coated in chocolate batter with a side serving of spinach?

[rab] No reason.

Ibid

Is it the box of chocolates which life isn't like, whatever the film version of Forrest Gump would try to make you believe

I mean, I don't know what US chocolates are like, but UK boxes of chocolates come with a helpful description of what shape is what flavour, and they don't tend to change much from year to year...

rab

Lib: it's more abstract than that! Ibid: less tenous, I think...

Actually, thinking about it, Raak's question is somehow more specific than Boolbars, at the same time as being more general, so I shall honour it with a 'yes'.
