Good point!

Official: Is it from the Americas?

102

We eat ramen with a fork, even though we all know how to use chopsticks and use them for other things.

103

Iā€™ve had menudo - but would you expect that most of the guessers have?

104

No, it sounds disgusting and we have access to many places who make it on sundays around us.

105

Another good point. We used to listen to the singing group in Spanish class, but Iā€™d sort of forgotten that it was actually food.

Seems unlikely, whereas tamales or mole or enchiladas might be possible.

Iā€™ve never heard of papusas and would guess that most GoAers havenā€™t tried them, whatever they are. (Iā€™m curious now.)

But we should see what the answer is to the Americas question. Keeping in mind that Americas includes Canada. Poutine anyone?

106

I guess poutine isnā€™t really dinner. Itā€™s more of an appetizer. So probably not poutine.

Congrats! And trying to decide if a tamale or an orange was bigger was really, really hard

And sushi with a fork??? I had to restrain myself on commenting on that

113

And to whomever called out the Mayan recipe- this was based on a Mayan dish typically served on day of the dead. Pibipollo. Like a gigantic tamale.

114

Good point, I donā€™t eat sushi with a fork either! Glad I didnā€™t burn a guess on sushi.

115

So, um, Iā€™ve thought of a thing, but Iā€™m too dumb to figure out how to start a new thread that has all of the proper tags and such. I can see how to get to games, but this thread says something about 20 Qs and thread-games. How do I do that?!?!

Alternatively, feel free to just start asking in this thread and if Lucy gets annoyed I guess she can move it.

116

Actually, I think I figured it out. Standbyā€¦

117

Ok, new thread is hereā€¦
