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 ....

Phil

[Dandalf] Jimmy Carter's peanuts, or anyone else's for that matter? No
To clarify how specific I meant, the answer is something like "Savoy Cabbage", rather than "Cabbage" (to use a brassica-based example, which we know it isn't).

Inkspot

Is it medicinal?

Phil

[Inkspot] Is it medicinal? There are claims to its medicinal properties, so I think I'll have to say YES - Appreciative applause again for Inskspot

CdM

Well then ... is it typically consumed primarily for its medicainal properties?

Phil

[CdM] Typically consumed for medicinal purposes? No

CdM

Jicama?

It seems to me that it has to be more obscure than taro...

Phil

[CdM] Jicama? No - there is at least one non-obscure family of root vegetable plants that has not been mentioned at all.

CdM

Well, there are bulbs -- garlic, etc. -- but it seems to me that all the non-obscure ones would also be in U.K. supermarkets. So I am very confused...

flerdle

daikon radish?

Phil

[flerdle] daikon radish? No - Audience gets rather agitated at CdM's musings.

Raak

Lotus roots?
