One quiz at a time

Stood up by a portugese food fancier.

I think we should carry on guessing without him.

Almond paste.

Dried fish.

Post by **DRT** » 19:56 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Was my first guess.

A different Portuguese cheese?

I'm back. I was eating the top rump that I roasted to perfection and enjoyed with the best roast potatoes I've ever made (duck fat and a long time is the answer). With a Ribera del Duero from Marks & Sparks. Much lighter than a Douro wine.

I can reply and tell you that all those guesses were wrong, however 3 of them were very close.

The mystery foodstuff was eaten with bacon sandwiches and the obligatory half of Croft LBV 04* at Belfast Castle, watching the planes fly in over the lough.

*Does anybody travel without one these days?

Post by **jdaw1** » 20:43 Sun 29 Sep 2013

A side of extra bacon?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:43 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Not correct.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:44 Sun 29 Sep 2013

I said that three of the guesses sent during my collation were very close. Which three?

Post by **DRT** » 20:45 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Molho de Piri Piri?

Post by **jdaw1** » 20:46 Sun 29 Sep 2013

I haven’t got a clue, but will guess anyway.

A tomato-based sauce or paste something?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:50 Sun 29 Sep 2013

These guesses are at best atrocious but the second is closer. According to some taxonomists.

Figs, lemons and oranges?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:52 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Yes. Go on.

Post by **DRT** » 20:53 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Kumquats?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:55 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Careful. This could be interpreted as throwing the game.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:57 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Do I have to Tell you?

Post by **DRT** » 21:00 Sun 29 Sep 2013

If I could guess Tomato now I would, but I can't as it isn't my turn.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:01 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Good job too. I can't Tell you that you'd be wrong, since it's not your guess.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:09 Sun 29 Sep 2013

I wish someone would guess it. I hate being the man who always says no. Did I mention that my grandfather was, for a while, the Man from Del Monte? He liked to say yes.

(Fruit theme maintained)

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:12 Sun 29 Sep 2013

(Tapatalk does not display the words I typed between the URL tags, which were 'The Man from Del Monte')

Post by **DRT** » 21:13 Sun 29 Sep 2013

You might have mentioned it, yes.

It's unfortunate that it is a fruit themed question as that rules out Tomato.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:21 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Sigh.

Tomato is a fruit. Apparently. But it is not tomato.

Post by **DRT** » 21:25 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Can't believe you bit. You have no willpower.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:28 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Argh. Where's JDAW? Is he watering his statues? Where are the other guessers? Will I create a new account so we can get to the answer?

Or will I just Tell you?

Post by **DRT** » 21:34 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Is it my turn yet?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:38 Sun 29 Sep 2013

It appears to be, as Not_DRT's guess was wrong.

Post by **DRT** » 21:38 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Tofu?

Fruit and Tofu are both eaten by vegetarians and are therefore in the same food group.

Perhaps he is digging out his new cellar?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:49 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Ah the new collective

cellar, yes. Very community-spirited of him.

Post by **DRT** » 21:52 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Owen is lurking. Perhaps he will help...

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 21:53 Sun 29 Sep 2013

A bottle of Sagres, not that it's right, or helps.

Post by **DRT** » 21:57 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Tangerine?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:58 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Neither is right. Oh god, someone please guess or I will have to

[william]

TELL

you.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 21:59 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Just seen the fruit thing. Fruit? with a bacon sarnie?

My brain has stopped. Thank god I don't have to guess.

I'm working with nothing here.

Avacado

Post by **DRT** » 21:59 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Apple?

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:00 Sun 29 Sep 2013

Sorry that was out of turn. I'll go to the back again.
