mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Is its normal use as a foodstuff

Just 'cos it's edible doesn't mean that's its primary purpose.

CdM

Sold in an average supermarket? Hmmm. Good question. It can be. I have certainly seen it for sale in regular supermarkets in the US (and perhaps in other countries, though I am not sure). But would I expect to find it if I wandered into an average supermarket here in Australia, or in the UK? Probably not. So I will go with No.
Normal use as a foodstuff? Yes. (But a good assumption-checking question!)

NotJohn

Argan Oil?

Still with bits of goat mixed in.

CdM

Argan oil? No.

Quendalon

Is it consumed by itself?

Tuj

Is the P-word on the card paste?

CdM

Consumed by itself? No. *applause*
P = paste? No.

Suzierocket

Is it a sauce for a dish?

CdM

A sauce? Yes. *applause*

Chalky

More likely to be consumed in USA?

As per

Quendalon

Pasta sauce?

CdM

More likely to be consumed in USA? Um. Than where? It is more likely to be consumed in the USA than in some other places, and less likely to be consumed in the USA than in other other places. It is almost certainly more likely to be consumed in the USA than in the UK, if that is what you mean. :-)
Pasta sauce? No.

NotJohn

Does it normally contain chili?

CdM

Contains chill? Yes. *applause*

Phil

Tabasco Pepper Sauce?

CdM

Tabasco? No. (I think I would have classified that as a condiment.)

NotJohn

Originates in Asia?

CdM

Asian? No.

Chalky

*ouch*

CdM - ooops. Thought I'd typed 'than in the UK' but didn't check preview. Thanks for clarification. I have a hunch this may be a foodstuff I haven't heard of so will withdraw from the chase ..
