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.

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!

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.

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!
