Corn Dogs it is, CF

38 turns to figure out C M and then it's one turn each for G S A and C D?

Cranberry Muffin?
Cran-freaking-berry muffin?

What is this grocery store, some freaking organic co-op BS?

*muttering*

Guess I must be cheap, cuz Fareway doesn't have it's own bakery dept. (and neither did the store I practically grew up working in) You want muffins? Buy the mix baby, and have at it.

Sigh. NEXT!!!

I've never seen a cranberry muffin in a grocery store either, but then I never looked.

As I explained, "cranberry muffins" was suggested by my TWELVE YEAR-OLD BROTHER, not exactly a culinary obscurist.

You so need a Wegmans.

Oooh, went to a Wegman's in Rochester NY while visiting in-laws years ago. That place rocks! But one thing Ohio (and Northern KY) have is Jungle Jim's. It's the best!

Yep, no 12 year old would have said condensed milk.

Do we have a new one?

Clodfobble guessed "Corn Dogs" correctly, so Clodfobble starts the next round. Yo! Fob!

why WHY did I click that link before lunch? :yum:

Ya'll just wait. Juuuuuuuust wait. I'm going to Trader Joe's this weekend in the Twin Cities, and I'mma cominn' back with a whole list of stuff.

:D

I think the Aussies might be like us - we see (American-style) muffins as cakes. You don't eat cakes for breakfast :headshake

I wouldn't have got Granny Smiths apples either though - and we have plenty of those.

I don't want anyone to miss the point: A good letter combination doesn't come from exotic ingredients. In fact, the challenge is to find a quite pedestrian food item that is hard to guess.

My wife, upon her first attempt at this game, did "cannellini beans" - our resonse to which was WHAT the HELL are "cannellini beans" ??? There's no point to the game if you haven't ever heard of the damn thing in your whole life! That kind of shit is very uncool.

GSA was easy because too much information was provided...if that makes any sense.
2-letter combinations could be anything, 3-letter combinations are a significantly more narrow field.

Cannellini beans I have eaten
Corndogs and cranberry muffins I have not

I doubt I'll ever get an answer right :(
Where's Clod? I want to play!

I have not played this game internationally before, so it may be a challenge to come up with "fair" food items. The game really operates on the honor system, and this may be harder, not knowing what other people have heard of, or not.

As for "cannellini beans" - I have eaten them, but never knew what they were called. I had never heard the term "cannellini beans" ...

As for Corn Dogs - you may not have eaten them, but I assume you were aware that they exist/had heard the term before?

As for cranberry muffins - I haven't had one, but I could have extrapolated from blueberry muffins, etc. to what else starts with "C"

I'm not really waa, waa, waahing - but I think it will be a challenge to make it international.

Re cranberry muffins - I could have thought all year and not come up with that - we only drink cranberries over here, or serve the sauce with turkey. Muffins are a teatime food, split and toasted and spread with butter. They come as plain, cheese or wholemeal with raisins. Think how long it would take you to come up with Cheese Muffins and you'll get my drift.

Similarly - I am aware from Stephen King books that Corn Dogs exist. Hell - I even tried one in San Francisco for that very reason (bleurgh!). Would I have thought of them as a supermarket food - no.

Anyway, like I said I'm not seriously raising it as an issue - I think I am going to be a poor player and am getting my excuses in early ;)

It will be a challenge to play this game across the water, I agree.

As for cranberry muffins: my brother stumped my father, my wife, and myself. After he blurted out what it was (we never would have given up) I immediately thought "cranberry muffins... I am aware that they exist, I have seen one before... that was a fair round, an excellent round"

Now... IT'S YOUR TURN, CLODFOBBLE!

Okay, OKAY, Jeez, I'm getting here, I swear...

My daddy owns a grocery store, and he sells something that starts with

L B

Lebanon Bologna

(unlikely. it's a local thing)

Lima Beans

Sweet Lebanon Bologna, yum.

Swear to God we were just looking for Lebanon Bologna at Tom Thumb (variant of Randall's, Safeway) and they didn't have any. My wife was gonna make me a Lebanon Bologna and Genoa Salami sandwich. (As for it being a local thing, she lived in NewYork City several years before I met her)

By the way, Clodfobble, bonus points for using the correct "My daddy owns a grocery store, and he sells something that starts with" header...

Not Lebanon Bologna, not Lima Beans...

Lobster Bisque

Lemon Bars

Jinx got it, Lobster Bisque! (I had it for lunch today, it was yummy!) Your turn, jinx.

Ha!

B C

baby corn

nope

bok choi?

yes. Man... I suck at picking the food.

man....i was sure that was gonna stump the masses. good job, case. fuckin a

SWEET!

F C E

Something eclairs . . . chocolate, or cream . . . French?

. . . ...or freerange chicken eggs . . . could it be that?

freash cut endive

FCE is hard.

frozen chocolate eclairs

This has been a game my family has always played on road trips, to pass the time and keep our minds occupied. I know I'm not the boss of anybody here, but I just want to point out that superfluous adjectives are not a valid basis for a letter combination, IE "frozen chocolate eclairs" (if that were the answer) should be phrased as "chocolate eclairs" or "C E" - the fact that they are frozen does not make that a part of what they are actually called. You wouldn't say "frozen ice cream" for example. Like I said, we're on the honor system.

But fried chicken entrails might work. If they actually sold that in the deli section along with the rotisserie chicken.

Feta Cheese Enchiladas?

hehe..
 

Wow... the My Daddy Owns a Grocery Store Game goes online. Whoda thunk it.

I don't have time to play today... but YAY!!!

I'll be back.
:P

fried cajun eels

frosted chocolate eclairs?

frosted cream eclair?

That'd just be FE wouldn't it? you don't say "I'm going to by some chicken eggs, so on the honor system you'd only specify the type of bird/reptile/insect/whatever if it wasn/t a chicken? Freerange cobra eggs, for example.

Filleted, Cleaned Eels?

There's not a whole lot of foodstuffs beginning with E....

Eggplant Escargot Escarole

fresh/fried curly endive?

Your are correct. "Chicken" Eggs are not specified at the grocery store, they are simply called eggs.

I was hoping somebody would illustrate that distinction. Freerange Eggs would be F E, not F C E.

fudgy coconut eggs

French Candied Escargots

fiery crawfish etouffee

Yes. I am sorry it took me so long to respond. I was at work all day. :)

Your turn, Jester.

I thought that you were quitting. Or was that a secret?

snap - shoulda went to the grocery store last night

my daddy owns a grocery store and in it he sells:

H W B

In my experience they aren't typicially found on the shelves, but most grocery stores are full of 'em...

Horny White stockBoys

Ham with beans?

Honey wheat bread?
