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 ....

A figurative meaning?

CdM

Figurative? I think the expression on the card may occasionally be used in a figurative sense, but the best answer is No.

ImNotJohn

Any literary or artistic connections?

CdM

Arty? No significant literary or artistic connections that I am aware of.

CdM

I'm trying to think of a clue. One route to the answer is certainly by trying to find out more about the edible connection. In another sense, though, this idea is broader -- I could have specified essentially the same idea without any necessary reference to food at all.

"To live off the fat of the land"?

CdM

Fatland? No. Pretty clearly figurative, that.
