we all thought VA killed the game. but Lucy, silent but deadly

When everyone is stumped and you purposefully give a misleading hint it sure doesn’t help

I think the most useful places to start are:

What is the primary component of this food?
Under what circumstances might that be misleading, on its face?

Hint 4: consider nutrition labels

Followed by what foods are not typically eaten after 2pm

1695814 · April 28, 2021, 4:35pm

caffeinated
heart-burn inducing (if one is cognizant of something like that)
breakfast

John.S.Mill · April 28, 2021, 4:55pm

I’m thinking it’s primary component is some type of calories stuff. But it’s not a liquid.

Something that’s mostly fat but mixed with something that has no calories

Gelatin? That’s protein I think.

knowing lucy it’s probably some exotic food that I don’t know the name of.

Vorian_Atreides · April 28, 2021, 4:56pm

Is this 2pm EDT?

Or 2pm GMT?

Lucy · April 28, 2021, 4:57pm

My dietary habits are mostly quite ordinary, except that I despise the entire capsaicin family. I guess it’s not completely ordinary that we cook Chinese & Indian foods on a regular basis, but

Hint 5: This is a traditional-to-white-Americans food.

Vorian_Atreides · April 28, 2021, 4:57pm

Gelatin is primarily protein (good for building good, strong nails).

But Jello is often eaten after lunch or later in the afternoon.

MayanActuary · April 28, 2021, 4:57pm

Bacon has more fat than protein, which would feel misleading, but bacon is something that people make themselves all the time and so doesn’t fit hint 1.

Vorian_Atreides · April 28, 2021, 4:58pm

Not sure if “cooking bacon” is the same as “making bacon” in the sense of going from pig to frying pan.

Lucy · April 28, 2021, 4:59pm

Hint 6: MayanActuary is onto something.

But…

Hint 7: I didn’t say I never cook this item. I said I could make this item, but haven’t. Make <> Cook

eta: or what VA said.

MayanActuary · April 28, 2021, 5:01pm

Alright, let’s end this and see what it is.

Is it breakfast sausage?

Vorian_Atreides · April 28, 2021, 5:03pm

:poocorn:

Vorian_Atreides · April 28, 2021, 5:03pm

We need an emoji for :poocorn:

Lucy · April 28, 2021, 5:07pm

Lucy:

Vorian_Atreides: Is it a physical object? Yes

John.S.Mill: would a thief be interested in stealing it No

Vorian_Atreides: Is the “average American” interested in owning one or more of these: Yes

1695814: Is it larger than a bread box? No

YankeeTripper: Is it man made? Yes

YankeeTripper: Is it edible? Yes

YankeeTripper: Would someone consider this item a dessert or sweet? No

Tiffany: Is it healthy (to eat)? Yes

John.S.Mill: is it mostly protein No

skysn93: Do most people enjoy eating this item? Yes

YankeeTripper: Is it mostly carbohydrates? No

YankeeTripper: Is it a liquid? No

MayanActuary: Is this item more often consumed after 2pm ? No

John.S.Mill: Can you buy this for under 3 dollars? Yes

Vorian_Atreides: Is it usually eaten by itself? Yes

John.S.Mill: can you get it at a convenience store Generally not

JFG: Is it found in the produce section of the grocery store? No

soyleche: Can it be produced in a regular home kitchen? Yes

John.S.Mill: Is it usually bite-size? No

Hint 1: But wrt 18, i would guess that most people don’t own the right equipment and even fewer produce this food item themselves. But on consideration, i believe that if i purchased the correct ingredients, i could make this in my home kitchen. I have always purchased this item already made.

Hint 1.5: I have made yogurt, and even gave out my recipe for it on the old AO.

Hint 2: I answered 9 and 11 ignoring any water in this item. That is, not only is it not mostly protein or carb, neither is the dry weight. In fact, neither protein nor carbohydrate is the plurality element per the nutrition label of a representative sample.

Hint 3: Hint 2 might be misleading,

Not the brand I looked at when answering the nutrition questions, but very similar nutritional makeup

YES

Lucy · April 28, 2021, 5:10pm

I looked up the menus of several places that serve breakfast to see whether I could find sausage for less than $3. The third menu I looked at let you buy a side order of sausages for $2.59.

Lucy · April 28, 2021, 5:11pm

And thank you all for playing. I didn’t expect that to be so challenging.

YankeeTripper · April 28, 2021, 5:25pm

Wow I do not consider breakfast sausage to be healthy. But it’s quite tasty and last week I made a batch of biscuits and gravy out of them to have for a couple of days.
